american ginseng + salvia miltiorrhiza

American ginseng + salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combination therapy formulated as an acupoint application patch. Developed by the Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this combination leverages the 'Qi-tonifying' properties of American ginseng (*Panax quinquefolius*) and the 'blood-activating' properties of *Salvia miltiorrhiza* (Danshen). The therapy is primarily investigated as an adjunctive treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The mechanism involves the synergistic action of ginsenosides and tanshinones to improve left ventricular systolic function, alleviate angina symptoms, and modulate serologic markers of myocardial injury and inflammation. It is administered topically to specific acupoints to enhance recovery and reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
