In addition, herbal ingredients are easily available, for example in a shop on line. One herbal ingredient that is being talked about is danshen goji. However, is it true that Danshen goji herbal concoction is useful for treating diseases? Here's the review.
What is Danshen Goji?
Danshen goji is an herbal concoction of two main ingredients, namely red ginseng root (and shen) and goji berry fruit. These products are usually sold in factory packaging. To consume it, you can just brew it with water like tea, according to the recommended dosage for each product. This herbal product is claimed to have been used as an original traditional medicine from China since ancient times.
Efficacy of Danshen Goji
Keep in mind, until now there has been no research that is strong enough to prove this herbal medicine is able to cure various diseases. However, various ingredients from danshen and goji berries themselves have many known benefits for health.
So, consider the various potential properties of Danshen Goji for the following types of health conditions.
Stroke
Launching from the WebMD health site and eMedicineHealth, herbal medicines from danshen and goji berries can help improve brain function after ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke caused by a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain.
Researchers in China judge that danshen is able to thin the blood. Blood won't clot and clog arteries in the brain. Although his research has not been refined, the efficacy of danshen goji for post-stroke therapy looks promising.
Heart disease
For people with heart disease, consuming these herbal products might reduce chest pain (angina). The way it works is similar to the drug isosorbide dinitrat, which is a chest pain prevention drug in patients with coronary heart disease. According to the WebMD website, this benefit will only be felt after routinely consuming danshen goji for at least six months.
In addition, the content of goji berries is believed to reduce blood pressure. High blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, heart failure, or stroke. However, now more research is needed to ensure the efficacy of the goji herb.
Liver disease
Research carried out in rats showed that drinking herbal concoctions of danshen and goji could repair damage to the liver (liver). However, scientists and health experts still have to test again whether the same properties can be obtained by humans.
What about the side effects?
Danshen goji herbal products may cause bad interactions if taken together with other medicines. For example if you take medication for heart failure such as digoxin, blood thinning drugs such as warfarin, or blood pressure-lowering drugs.
In the short term, this herbal medicine may cause side effects such as itching, stomach ache, and loss of appetite. While the side effects in the long term are not certain.
Important note before taking herbal medicines
Don't take danshen and goji herbs before discussing with a doctor. Only doctors and health professionals can assess your condition and the possibility of complications. Especially if you are pregnant, have diabetes or low blood pressure, and are scheduled to undergo surgery.
In addition, herbal medicine is not recommended as a substitute for medical drugs that doctors have prescribed. Herbal remedies may be taken as a drug companion so you can control the symptoms of the disease. However, once again you should consult with your doctor or herbalist before starting herbal therapy. To avoid things that are not desirable, the use of herbal medicines must be in the appropriate dosage.
If your doctor recommends that you drink the goji drink, be careful when choosing products. Do not buy from producers who have not obtained marketing permits from the Indonesian Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) to protect you from concoction drugs that contain hazardous ingredients.
