ABSTRACT

Shaanxi Province is known as "the land of Qin has no idle herbs", and Shangluo Salvia miltiorrhiza is one of the "ten medicines of Qin". Salvia miltiorrhiza, its taste is bitter, slightly cold sex. Returning to the heart, the liver meridian, activating blood and regulating the meridian, clearing the heart and removing trouble, cooling blood and eliminating carbuncle, nourishing the blood and calming the god. Salvia miltiorrhiza contains many kinds of chemical constituents, and its pharmacological action and modern application are extremely extensive. Clinically, it can treat coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and other cardiovascular diseases, and has achieved remarkable curative effect. This paper summarizes the ancient books from the Abstract, chemical composition, pharmacological action, modern application and so on. To provide reference for further exploration of the application of salvia miltiorrhiza in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. To promote the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine by effectively applying the methods of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine in clinical practice.
