When it comes to Danshen, many cardiovascular patients know that this is a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and for unblocking blood vessels. Indeed, Danshen has a very wide range of clinical applications. For the elderly and middle-aged people, while promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, Danshen can also invigorate and replenish Qi, which is different from other traditional Chinese medicines. The meaning of ‘invigorating the body’s vital energy’ is to replenish through unblocking’. In other words, for the elderly and middle-aged people, while promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, Danshen can also invigorate and replenish Qi, which is different from other traditional Chinese medicines. When using Danshen, it ‘can enter the pericardium to break blood stasis and achieve its full effect, and it can eliminate all diseases as long as the blood stasis is removed.

Since Danshen has such a powerful effect, why is Shanzha added to Danshen? This is because Shanzha has the effects of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids, which can assist Danshen in ‘removing blood stasis without harming new blood, and opening up Qi without harming the body’s vital energy’. That is to say, the astringent and sour properties of Shanzha can strengthen the spleen and stomach, aid digestion, and its function of digesting food and removing stasis can also promote Qi and resolve blood stasis. Therefore, combining Danshen and Shanzha to prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is truly a perfect match, complementing each other.

Regardless of which type, Danshen and Shanzha powder can be taken for a long time, either two months or half a year.
