TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, in particular, to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for lowering blood lipid and eliminating carotid plaque. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the improvement of life quality, hyperlipidemia gradually shows a trend of youth, and has seriously affected the quality of people's life. Most of the hyperlipidemia patients also have hypertension symptoms, which easily leads to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as carotid plaque. If it cannot be prevented and treated early, the consequences are very serious.
[0003] At present, the commonly used drug for lowering blood lipid in clinic is statin, which is a cholesterol biosynthesis enzyme inhibitor. It is the most widely used lipid-regulating drug in clinical application, and is the main drug for treating hypercholesterolemia at present. However, this kind of chemical synthetic drug usually has side effects, which can cause abdominal distension, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and long-term use of chemical drugs may also cause damage to liver, kidney and other organs. Therefore, a safe, effective and less side effect drug for lowering blood lipid is urgently needed. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and unique advantages in the field of prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia. However, the existing traditional Chinese medicine composition for lowering blood lipid has insufficient effect, therefore, a more efficient traditional Chinese medicine composition for lowering blood lipid is urgently needed.
