I have met many middle-aged and elderly people who are usually not too worried when it comes to heart disease, but they are quite anxious when it comes to stroke. It is no wonder that if you have ever taken care of a relative or friend who is paralyzed in bed, or you have seen a stroke patient with a crooked face and poor walking on the road, how can you not be afraid of it? It is also a serious acute vascular accident that can lead to death, but the impression of stroke is much more terrible than that of acute myocardial infarction!
Classification of Stroke in TCM
In western medicine, stroke includes ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, strokes are divided into two categories: middle viscera and middle meridians according to the severity of the disease.
In recent years, the incidence of stroke has gradually increased, and the age of onset has gradually become younger. The youngest stroke patient I have seen is only in their thirties. The increased incidence of stroke and younger people are mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles, such as increased stress at work and work, westernized diet, eating too much eggs, milk and meat (in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, eating too fat, sweet and greasy), staying up late, lack of Exercise, etc. lead to metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc., all of which accelerate arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of stroke.

Chinese medicine to prevent stroke
Although strokes often make many elderly people smell discolored, there are actually some practical methods of Chinese medicine that can be used to prevent strokes, including Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Let’s talk about traditional Chinese medicine first. There are two methods that are widely popular in the market. One is taking Four Treasures Powder, and the other is Angong Niuhuang Pill.
Four Treasures Powder
- Four Treasures Powder is sold in many herbal medicine shops, and it is made from four kinds of traditional Chinese medicines: American ginseng, Dendrobium, Tianqi, and Salvia miltiorrhiza.
- Take one teaspoon on an empty stomach every day. Long-term use has the effects of nourishing qi, nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals.
- Since many Hong Kong people’s constitution is a mixture of deficiency and excess, it is quite common for both qi and yin deficiency to have blood stasis or phlegm-dampness. Four Treasure Powder can effectively improve this constitution deviation, so this method is recommended.
Angong Bezoar Pills
As for Angong Niuhuang Pills, many elders have said that taking one pill every few months can prevent strokes. Some drug dealers even advertised on TV, claiming that Angong Niuhuang Pill has the functions of “restoring the body and calming the nerves, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals”, and it is like a good health care product.
It must be known that Angong Niuhuang Pill is from the “Tiaodian of Warm Diseases” written by Wu Jutong, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty. , Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Gardenia, turmeric, borneol, etc., the main functions are to clear heat and open the orifices, remove phlegm and detoxify, and are suitable for febrile convulsions caused by internal heat poisoning. .
Although precious traditional Chinese medicines are used, the original intention of the famous doctor Wu Jutong to create this prescription is not to maintain health, but to treat serious febrile diseases. good effect.
For some stroke and coma patients, although Angong Niuhuang Pill has the effect of awakening the mind and awakening the mind, it is only effective for patients with relatively strong constitution and excessive phlegm and heat; Not only ineffective but harmful.
If you want to use it to prevent stroke, it is also only suitable for phlegm and heat. Therefore, everyone must reverse the concept of the elderly taking Angong Niuhuang Pills on a regular basis to prevent strokes. If you really intend to take Angong Niuhuang Pills, remember to consult a Chinese doctor first to see if Angong Niuhuang Pills is suitable for you.
