Effects of the Combination of Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch. )Bge.(AM),Tail of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.)Diels.(TAS),Cypervs rotundus L.(CR),Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.(LC) and Paeonia veitchii Lynch (PV)on the Hemorrheological Changes in Normal Ra
Abstract:The results showed that AM and TAS had significant effects of enriching the blood. CR, a Qi-regulating drug, LC and PV, two blood-activating drugs, could improve all hemorrheological indexes, such as the whole blood specific viscosity, the plasma specific viscosity, erythrocyte electrophoresis, etc. The combination of Qi-regulating drug and blood-activating drug displayed more favorable effect. This experiment has provided some pharmacological evidence for the theory of "Qi Xue Xiang Guan" (correlation of vital energy with blood circulation) in traditional Chinese medicine.
