Can Chinese herbal medicine be used to treat tricuspid valve insufficiency?

Tricuspid insufficiency can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM treatment can effectively improve symptoms, alleviate the condition, control disease progression, and has relatively fewer side effects and mild pharmacological properties. However, TCM cannot completely cure tricuspid insufficiency. In terms of TCM treatment, patients may take traditional Chinese herbal formulas such as Shenling Baizhu San or Buzhong Yiqi Wan under the guidance of a physician, or use individual herbs such as Astragalus (Huangqi), Codonopsis (Dangshen), and Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi). These herbs can help nourish qi and blood and improve cardiac function. In addition to herbal treatment, patients may also consider other TCM therapies such as acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, and cupping. These treatments stimulate specific acupoints and promote blood circulation, thereby improving tricuspid insufficiency to some extent. When undergoing TCM treatment or other forms of TCM therapy, patients should visit qualified medical institutions where specialized physicians can develop appropriate treatment plans based on the individual patient's condition. Integrating other treatment approaches, such as surgery, may help achieve the best therapeutic outcomes.
