Introduction
If the rapid heart rate is caused by physiological factors such as mild emotional tension, physical exertion, or hot weather, and there is no history of other heart diseases,适量 drinking of Salvia Miltiorrhiza and Kudzu root water may help relax the body and mind, promote blood circulation, and thus potentially help alleviate symptoms of rapid heart rate. Both Salvia Miltiorrhiza and Kudzu root have certain cardiovascular protective effects.

If the increased heart rate is caused by physiological factors, drinking Salvia and Kudzu root water is generally acceptable. However, if the tachycardia is caused by other factors, it may not be appropriate to consume this type of herbal preparation.

If the elevated heart rate is due to mild physiological factors such as emotional tension, after physical exertion, or during hot weather, and there is no history of heart disease, moderate consumption of Salvia and Kudzu root water may help relax the body, improve circulation, and potentially alleviate symptoms of tachycardia. Both Salvia and Kudzu root offer certain cardiovascular protective effects, including vasodilation and improved blood flow.

Tachycardia can have multiple causes, including physiological factors such as emotional excitement and anxiety, as well as pathological factors such as fever or arrhythmia. For tachycardia caused by pathological factors like arrhythmia or coronary artery disease, standard medical treatment under a physician's guidance is necessary. Although Salvia and Kudzu root have pharmacological benefits, they are not suitable for everyone. For example, individuals with weak constitutions, cold stomach with vomiting, excessive menstrual bleeding, or pregnant women should not use them.

In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a calm state of mind and a balanced, diverse diet to support overall health.
