TCM believes that high homocysteine is caused by phlegm and blood stasis.
Homocysteine is an item of blood examination. The increase of index is considered to be due to congenital deficiency, acquired deficiency of fine substances and other factors, resulting in phlegm and blood stasis. The patient's phlegm and blood stasis can lead to qi and blood circulation disorders, zangfu dysfunction, homocysteine metabolism, homocysteine accumulation in the body, and then cause high homocysteine.
The principle of treatment for patients is to reduce phlegm and blood stasis. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines include atractylodes rhizome, poria cocos, pinellia tuber, forsythia fruit, hawthorn, etc.
