People who choose to have regular infusions usually believe that infusions of Chinese medicines that invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis can help open clogged blood vessels, thin sticky blood and wash away cholesterol deposited in blood vessels. Generally speaking, opening blocked blood vessels mainly means breaking down blood clots and foreign bodies that block blood vessels through thrombolytic drugs and vascular stents in the event of acute cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction, in order to restore smoothness of blood vessels and save tissues that are on the verge of necrosis due to ischemia.

This therapy has strict time limitations, usually effective only within 6 hours after the onset of the disease, and the thrombolytic drugs used are very effective -- they should never be used in the acute stage of non-thrombotic formation, or else they will cause extensive bleeding; once a thrombus is formed, it's useless to use more blood-activating and blood-stasis-relieving drugs. For those patients with stable infarction, the necrotic tissue cannot regenerate, and the living tissue already has new blood supply vessels. It makes little sense to use blood-activating drugs to improve tissue blood supply at this time.

There is nothing wrong with the theory that blood transfusions can increase blood viscosity. After all, most transfusions are pure water, which thins the blood, at least for a while. But water that goes directly into the bloodstream is quickly excreted by the kidneys. And there are many factors that affect blood viscosity, water being only one of them. It is also related to blood cell density, fibrinogen count, dietary structure, exercise, metabolism and the external environment. A person's blood viscosity changes from time to time. If you want to increase the water in your blood, just drink water. Why do I need an intravenous drip?

Unhealthy diet, a lot of smoking and drinking, mental stress, low mood, etc. It will cause lipid metabolism disorder in human body, cholesterol and triglyceride will be deposited in blood vessels, causing atherosclerosis and arterial stenosis, and become the root cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. To remove these "garbage", taking lipid-lowering drugs to reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides, promote the formation of HDL cholesterol is feasible, HDL cholesterol is a kind of vascular scavenger. Activating blood stasis drugs do not have such an effect, washing the blood vessel wall is just a lot of people's wishful thinking.
