What are the functions and effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza?

Salvia miltiorrhiza is very effective in treating and improving the cardiovascular system because it can help strengthen myocardial contractility, improve heart function, help dilate coronary arteries, enhance myocardial blood flow, and has a good effect on improving microcirculation.

1. The role of the cardiovascular system

1. Strengthen the heart, enhance myocardial contractility, improve heart function, and do not increase myocardial oxygen consumption

2. Effect on blood vessels: dilate coronary arteries, increase myocardial blood flow; dilate peripheral blood vessels, increase blood flow; decrease cerebral blood flow

3. Anti-thrombosis, increase plasmin activity; prolong bleeding and coagulation time; inhibit platelet aggregation (increase cAMP level in platelets, inhibit TXA2 synthesis); improve blood rheology (reduce blood viscosity, shorten red blood cell electrophoresis time)

4. Improve microcirculation

2. Promote tissue repair and regeneration

1. Promote tissue repair and regeneration. Treatment with Danshen preparations: Necrotic myocardium is cleared quickly; fibroblast differentiation and collagen fiber formation are more obvious; granulation formation is relatively mature. Local congestion is reduced, blood circulation is improved, and healing time is shortened.

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

3. Protect the liver and improve liver microcirculation.

4. Antibacterial Danshen preparations contain cryptotanshinone and dihydrotanshinone, which have inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis in vitro.
