The benefits and effects of drinking water infused with Danshen and Hawthorn tablets are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. **Promoting Blood Circulation and Removing Blood Stasis**: Both Danshen and hawthorn can promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, improving blood circulation and alleviating symptoms of blood stasis. They are effective in treating conditions such as irregular menstruation, prolonged postpartum lochia discharge, and rheumatic pain.
2. **Aiding Digestion and Strengthening the Stomach**: Hawthorn contains abundant organic acids that can stimulate gastric juice secretion and aid digestion. The volatile oil components in Danshen also have a certain effect in promoting digestion. Combined, these two ingredients enhance the effect of improving digestion and strengthening the stomach.
3. **Regulating Qi and Resolving Stasis**: Hawthorn and Danshen both help regulate Qi and resolve blood stasis, thus relieving symptoms such as chest and abdominal distension and pain caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis.
4. **Lowering Lipids and Assisting Weight Loss**: These two herbs are rich in dietary fiber, which can accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body, enhance the feeling of fullness, reduce the intake of high-calorie foods, and assist in weight loss.
Although drinking water infused with Danshen and Hawthorn tablets is beneficial to health, it cannot replace medical treatment. Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
