Can Panax notoginseng powder treat arteriosclerosis?

In real life, arteriosclerosis is a relatively common physical disease. Arteriosclerosis will easily affect the blood flow in the body's blood vessels, easily leading to insufficient blood supply to the internal organs of the body, which is very harmful to the body. Panax notoginseng powder is a blood-activating medicine. Taking Panax notoginseng powder can relieve arteriosclerosis, but it cannot cure it.

Can Panax notoginseng powder treat arteriosclerosis?

Dizziness is more likely to be caused by arteriosclerosis and insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries. Treatment with Panax notoginseng powder alone can only promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and soften blood vessels, which is helpful to a certain extent in treatment, but not all.

Causes of Atherosclerosis

The most important causes of arteriosclerosis are the three risk factors of high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and smoking. Other reasons may include obesity, diabetes, lack of exercise, stress, old age, family history, and bad temper.

1. Hypertension. Long-term impact of high-pressure blood flow on the arterial wall causes mechanical damage to the arterial intima, making it easy for blood lipids to deposit on the arterial wall, forming fatty plaques and causing arteriosclerosis and stenosis. If blood pressure is not controlled, the incidence of myocardial infarction will increase by about 2 to 3 times, and that of cerebral stroke by about 4 times.

2. Hyperlipidemia. Too much fat in the blood is more likely to deposit on the inner walls of blood vessels to form plaques, causing arteriosclerosis and narrowing.

3. Smoking. Nicotine, carbon monoxide and other substances in cigarettes can damage the inner walls of arteries. The damaged inner walls of arteries can trap cholesterol, causing platelets to accumulate and form fatty plaques. At the same time, smoking can cause coronary artery contraction and spasm, reducing blood flow.

4. Diabetes. Diabetic patients will have problems with fat metabolism. The proteins that transport fat in the blood (called lipoproteins) will denature, and during the transportation process, fat will easily deposit on the inner walls of blood vessels to form fatty plaques.

5. Lack of exercise. Exercise can increase high-density lipoprotein, reduce low-density lipoprotein, help the body excrete excess cholesterol from the bile duct and intestines, and prevent excess cholesterol from depositing on the inner walls of blood vessels. In addition, exercise can promote blood circulation, increase blood vessel elasticity, lower blood pressure, consume excess calories, reduce the proportion of body fat, increase the proportion of muscle, and thus reduce weight. Therefore, people who lack exercise are prone to atherosclerosis.

6. Obesity. People who are obese or overweight have increased heart load and a higher chance of abnormal blood lipids, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis. Obesity can easily lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance syndrome.

7. Excessive pressure. Stress will increase the secretion of adrenaline, which will cause high blood pressure, faster heartbeat, and damage the inner walls of arteries.

8. Family history. It refers to genetic factors that cause some people to develop arteriosclerosis at an early age. The reason is still unclear. Some people have severe hypercholesterolemia, which accumulates in the blood and then promotes the occurrence of arteriosclerosis. Some suffer from early-onset hypertension or are prone to thrombosis.
