Salvia Miltiorrhiza Tea Drinking

Drinking Salvia Miltiorrhiza tea has the effect of improving microcirculation, strengthening cardiovascular function, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Salvia Miltiorrhiza is a type of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of dredging meridians and relieving pain, clearing the mind and eliminating irritability, cooling the blood and eliminating abscesses. Drinking it as a tea has a health-preserving effect. However, since it is a traditional Chinese medicine, pregnant women should use it with caution, it should not be used with Veratrum nigrum, and those who are allergic to it should also avoid using it.

Effects on the Cardiovascular System

1. Strengthening the heart: Enhancing myocardial contractility and improving heart function without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption.

2. Vascular effects: Dilating coronary arteries, increasing myocardial blood flow; dilating peripheral blood vessels, increasing blood flow; decreasing cerebral blood flow.

3. Anti-thrombotic effect: Improving fibrinolytic enzyme activity; prolonging bleeding and clotting time; inhibiting platelet aggregation (increasing cAMP levels in platelets and inhibiting TXA2 synthesis); improving hemorheological properties (decreasing blood viscosity and shortening erythrocyte electrophoresis time).

4. Improving microcirculation.

Promoting Tissue Repair and Regeneration

1. Promoting tissue repair and regeneration: Salvia Miltiorrhiza preparations can treat necrosis of the myocardium, which is rapidly eliminated. Fibroblast differentiation and collagen fiber formation are more obvious, and granulation formation is more mature. Local congestion is reduced, blood circulation is improved, and healing time is shortened.

2. Inhibiting excessive proliferation: It has an inhibitory effect on excessive proliferation of fibroblasts.

Protecting the Liver and Improving Hepatic Microcirculation

Salvia Miltiorrhiza preparations contain cryptotanshinone and dihydrotanshinone, which have inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris in vitro.
