Dr. Tian Hongbo
Hypertensive patients can consume Sanqi powder in moderation.
Sanqi, also known as Tianqi, promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and has hemostatic properties, offering protective effects on the cardiovascular system. The active ingredients in Sanqi powder can dilate blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, help improve microcirculation, and provide auxiliary therapeutic effects for hypertension. However, hypertensive patients should pay attention to the following when consuming Sanqi powder:
1. Consume in moderation: Although Sanqi powder has many benefits, excessive consumption may lead to indigestion or allergic reactions; therefore, it should be used strictly according to medical advice.
2. Take correctly: Sanqi powder should be taken as directed by a physician. Interactions with other medications should be avoided to reduce the risk of bleeding.
3. Monitor closely: The physical response of individuals should be closely observed when taking Sanqi powder for the first time. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
Hypertensive patients can consume Sanqi powder in moderation. However, the principle of moderation should be followed, and medical advice must be strictly adhered to.
