The invention provides a
traditional Chinese medicine composition with functions of
softening hardness and dredging collaterals as well as a preparation method and application of the
traditional Chinese medicine composition. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition with the functions of
softening hardness and dredging collaterals is prepared from the following
raw material medicines in parts by weight: 20-40 parts of turtle shells, 20-40 parts of radix paeoniae alba, 14-22 parts of
sedum sarmentosum, 9-21 parts of teasel roots, 9-21 parts of rhizoma acori graminei, 9-21 parts of
astragalus membranaceus, 14-22 parts of
ligusticum wallichii and 3-15g of honey-fried
licorice roots. The traditional Chinese
medicine composition has the advantages that the traditional Chinese
medicine composition adopts a treatment method of
softening hardness to dissipate stagnation, dredging collaterals and relieving spasm, and can improve clinical symptoms such as
cognitive impairment related to small cerebral vasculopathy of a patient, and / or
anxiety and depression, and / or
sleep disorder and the like. In-vitro experiments prove that the traditional Chinese
medicine composition has a protection effect on
human brain microvascular endothelial
cell injury caused by hypoxia and reoxygenation, and can promote
cell proliferation and inhibit
cell apoptosis. Therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine composition can be applied to prevention and / or treatment of clinical symptoms related to small cerebral vasculopathy under the
pathological mechanism of pulse stagnation and collateral arthralgia.
