How effective is TCM in treating heart disease?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a branch of Chinese culture and an important part of Chinese culture. It plays a huge role in the treatment of people's diseases. It adheres to the moderate and gradual approach to treat diseases. Some patients want to know how Traditional Chinese Medicine treats heart disease, so what is its effect? So today let’s take a look at the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating heart disease!

All the oxygen consumed by the heart comes from the lungs, and problems with the lungs directly lead to heart disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the heart and lungs have the same origin", which is the theoretical source of treating the heart and lungs together. The heart itself consumes about 20% of the body's oxygen. If the lungs are diseased, the heart will be the first to suffer from oxygen deprivation. If mild hypoxia lasts for a long time, myocardial contraction will increase, heart rate will accelerate and cause coronary heart disease. In severe hypoxia, blood pressure and heart rate will drop, leading to myocardial necrosis, heart failure and even cardiac arrest.

To treat the heart, "breathing" through the lungs is the fastest and most effective. Medical scientists have long proposed that pulmonary drug administration is the best way to treat heart disease. Blood is pressed out through the right ventricle and enters the pulmonary artery to the alveoli. It is then breathed in through the lungs and enters the heart under lung pressure. If the effective drug components enter the lungs from the nasal cavity through breathing at this time, they will dissolve into the blood through dialysis and reach the left atrium in about 10 seconds. They are attracted by the myocardial cells, quickly treating heart disease and dissolving atherosclerotic plaques on the coronary arteries. It can be said that using respiratory medicine to administer medicine to the lungs to treat the heart is a shortcut to quickly eliminate symptoms and cure heart disease. For example, heart patients always carry a heart rescue box, which can save lives by smelling it through the nose. This is a typical way of respiratory drug administration.

For patients with heart disease, using lung power to drive cardiac power can achieve the purpose of saving and protecting the heart, and even prevent sudden death from myocardial infarction. When a patient has a heart attack, both the heart and lungs may have stopped working. In this case, you can restore heart power by activating lung power. For example, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) restores the patient's breathing by pressing the chest and performing artificial respiration at the same time.

Western medicine usually requires surgery or chemotherapy to solve people's ailments, but most people want to use a conservative and gradual approach, such as traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, when heart patients learn about the treatment methods and effects of traditional Chinese medicine, they will be able to achieve a healthy and better life faster.
