October 24, 2023

Tea is not a medicine, but a beverage that can be used for conditioning. For people with myocardial ischemia, drinking some tea that is beneficial for the condition can be helpful, although it may not have a therapeutic effect. So, what are the teas that can be chosen?

Light Bamboo Leaf Green Tea

Ingredients: Light bamboo leaves, green tea, and white sugar, all in moderate amounts.

Preparation: Put all three ingredients into a cup, add hot water, cover it, let it steep for 15 minutes, and then it can be consumed.

Benefits: Light bamboo leaves can clear inner heat and increase blood pressure. Green tea can refresh the mind and reduce blood lipids. It is helpful for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerotic plaques, which are more or less related to myocardial ischemia. Therefore, this tea is suitable for people with myocardial ischemia caused by non-hypotension.

Chrysanthemum Oolong Tea

Ingredients: 10 grams of Hang Chrysanthemum, 3 grams of Oolong tea.

Preparation: Take out chrysanthemum tea and Oolong tea, put them in a cup, add water to a teapot and boil it. Then pour it into the cup and steep it.

Benefits: Chrysanthemum can dilate coronary arteries, and tea can enhance the ductility and elasticity of blood vessels. Both have the effect of reducing blood pressure. This tea is effective in preventing and treating myocardial ischemia caused by non-hypotension and associated hyperlipidemia.

Tianqi Danshen Tea

Ingredients: 2 grams of Tianqi (Panax notoginseng), 3 grams of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), and an appropriate amount of white sugar.

Preparation: Put Tianqi powder and Danshen into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and boil it. Add white sugar for flavor and then it can be consumed.

Benefits: Tianqi is a good product for promoting blood circulation, stopping pain, and dispersing stasis. Modern medicine has proven that Panax notoginseng can increase coronary blood flow and reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, which is very helpful for the heart hypoxia symptoms of myocardial ischemia. Danshen also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When used together, it can be used for people with myocardial ischemia, but it is not suitable for pregnant women and those without blood stasis.

Hawthorn Lotus Leaf Tea

Ingredients: 5 grams of hawthorn, 3 grams of dried lotus leaf, 2-3 red dates.

Preparation: Boil 500 ml of water in a pot, add hawthorn, dried lotus leaf, and red dates. After boiling, simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, remove the residue, and then it can be consumed.

Benefits: Hawthorn can strengthen the heart, promote blood circulation, and dissolve stasis. Lotus leaf can dilate blood vessels. This tea is beneficial for hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and associated myocardial ischemia.

Fo-Ti Tea

Ingredients: 20-30 grams of Fo-Ti (Polygonum multiflorum).

Preparation: Take 20-30 grams of Fo-Ti, boil it in water for 30 minutes, drink the tea when it is warm, once a day.

Benefits: Fo-Ti can reduce blood lipids, reduce thrombus formation, and is suitable for people with myocardial ischemia. In addition, it is also effective for coronary heart disease and elevated blood lipids.
