Traditional Chinese medicine taste: bitter, slightly warm. Non-toxic to heart and liver meridians. Function: promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, calming the heart and calming the nerves. Avoid: use with caution for those without congestion.
In the book Pharmacology, there is: "The effect on the central nervous system. Salvia miltiorrhiza or compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection has obvious sedative effect on mice and can prolong the sleep time of cyclohexene barbital. " -This is the record of western medicine pharmacological experiment.
According to the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, only blood stasis in cerebellum can bring benefits after removing blood stasis and dredging collaterals. But this is not a single salvia miltiorrhiza can achieve the goal.
Some people think that blindly salvia miltiorrhiza can be worth the famous prescription of ancient Chinese medicine-Buxue Yangxue Siwu Decoction.
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is that the kidney produces marrow, and the brain, cerebellum and bone marrow all belong to the marrow of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to treat cerebellar atrophy, the concept of traditional Chinese medicine is to tonify kidney meridian and kidney qi. Salvia miltiorrhiza does not enter the "kidney meridian" of traditional Chinese medicine. From this perspective, "Does Salvia miltiorrhiza have an effect on cerebellar atrophy?" The answer is: it can't have a direct impact. As for the indirect tonic effect, because Chinese medicine advocates the idea of treating multiple meridians at the same time, the three meridians of heart, liver and kidney are inseparable, so it can indirectly tonify the kidney meridian and then "generate marrow".
