Is it good for elderly people over 60 years old to drink Sanqi powder

Moderate consumption of Sanqi powder by elderly people aged 60 and above has certain benefits, but it should be used after evaluating their individual health status according to medical advice. Sanqi powder has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling, and relieving pain, which may be helpful for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The Sanqi saponins contained in it can help improve microcirculation and have potential value in assisting the regulation of chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Some studies have shown that it may reduce blood viscosity, but its effect is mild and cannot replace regular medication treatment. It is recommended to choose qualified products produced by regular pharmaceutical factories for daily use, and avoid purchasing medicinal materials from unknown sources. Sanqi powder is not suitable for all elderly people, as those with abnormal coagulation function may have an increased risk of bleeding. People with severe liver and kidney dysfunction have decreased metabolic capacity, and long-term use may lead to drug accumulation. The use should be suspended within two weeks before and after surgery to avoid affecting the coagulation mechanism. Some individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience gastrointestinal discomfort or skin allergic reactions. It is recommended to start testing tolerance from trace amounts when taking it for the first time. Before using Sanqi powder, elderly people should complete basic tests such as coagulation function, liver and kidney function, and pay special attention to the interaction with anticoagulant drugs for concomitant medication. It is recommended to use according to the differentiation of constitution under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The daily dosage for routine health care should not exceed 3 grams, and rest should be taken at intervals after 2-3 weeks of continuous use. If there are abnormal conditions such as dizziness and subcutaneous bruising during use, stop immediately and seek medical attention. Moderate exercise and a low salt diet can be combined with daily life, and regular monitoring of changes in blood pressure, blood lipids, and other indicators can be carried out.
