Salvia is a weight loss tea superstar! Savior for irregular menstruation, insomnia, and myocardial infarction

Danshen, a traditional Chinese medicine known as the "blood vessel scavenger", has become very popular recently because the medical community recently discovered that there is a compound in "Danshen" that helps with weight loss and improves fatty liver, making Danshen seem to be the rising star of weight loss! In fact, Chinese medicine believes that Salvia miltiorrhiza has certain therapeutic effects on menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, insomnia, myocardial infarction and other diseases. The benefits of Salvia miltiorrhiza to the human body are truly impressive.

Chinese medicine practitioner: Danshen is an indispensable protagonist in slimming tea

A while ago, a research team from Taipei Medical University discovered that a single compound called ST32da found in the Chinese herbal medicine "Danshen" can convert white fat (WAT), which is the main cause of obesity, into brown fat (BAT), which is easy to burn and metabolize. It not only helps with weight loss, but also improves fatty liver, inhibits liver inflammation index and diabetes caused by obesity. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that in fact, Chinese medicine has been using salvia miltiorrhiza to lose weight for a very long time, and salvia miltiorrhiza is often an indispensable ingredient in weight loss tea.

Danshen has certain curative effect on irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, insomnia and angina pectoris

However, Chinese medicine rarely uses only a single herb to treat a disease. The traditional Chinese medicine Danshen is a commonly used blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herb. Modern medical experiments have shown that Danshen has the functions of resisting platelet aggregation, reducing blood viscosity and regulating internal and external coagulation systems. It is a safe and reliable natural Chinese medicine for treating cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, it has certain therapeutic effects on irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, poor blood circulation, bruises, swelling and pain of sores, restlessness, insomnia, angina pectoris and other diseases.

In fact, Salvia miltiorrhiza can be used to treat any syndrome classified as qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. However, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that in clinical practice, Cyperus rotundus is often added as a pair of medicines, which will be more effective in cases of qi stagnation, blood stasis, and poor microcirculation.

In addition, in clinical practice, patients with fatty liver are often treated with Chinese medicines such as salvia miltiorrhiza, safflower, cassia seed, hawthorn, papaya, poria, polygonatum, Euryale ferox, lophatherum gracile, tangerine peel, cinnamon, and lily to regulate and lower the three highs.

Danshen can improve microcirculation and help remove dark circles

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that in addition to being eaten, salvia miltiorrhiza can also be applied externally. For example, people with dark circles under their eyes can grind the salvia miltiorrhiza into powder, mix it with pearl powder, add moisturizing lotion, and apply it on the eyelids. This can have a good effect in removing dark circles, mainly because salvia miltiorrhiza has the effect of improving microcirculation.

Drinking Danshen tea can protect cardiovascular system and prevent myocardial infarction

In addition, if you want to maintain cardiovascular health, it is recommended to brew it with tea. Good tea has the effects of removing heat, eliminating food stagnation, and promoting urination. Theophylline in tea has the function of dilating cardiovascular system and strengthening capillaries. Combined with Salvia miltiorrhiza, it can slow down the increase of cholesterol, improve atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and other coronary heart diseases. Using Salvia miltiorrhiza with tea is obviously an ideal tea for preventing and treating coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia. However, it is recommended not to drink it too late to avoid being too excited and affecting sleep at night.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a treasure for women and can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation

In clinical practice, Danshen is also a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in gynecology. In the past, there was often a saying that "one Danshen has the same effect as four other herbs." In fact, Danshen cannot replace Siwu Decoction in clinical practice, but it is relatively safe compared to Siwu Decoction. Salvia miltiorrhiza can also promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. For women who suffer from dysmenorrhea due to blood stasis, eating one or two Salvia miltiorrhiza chicken soup to replenish qi and nourish the body after menstruation can improve the problems of fatigue and dry mouth after menstruation.
