丹参 10g
山楂 10g
黄芪 15g
糖尿病
Excellent combination — 丹参 (Dan Shen), 山楂 (Shan Zha), and 黄芪 (Huang Qi) are three powerful herbs in TCM that complement each other well for diabetes management, especially when the condition involves blood stasis, qi deficiency, and poor circulation.
Here’s a detailed explanation of how each herb works and why they are effective together:
1. 丹参 (Dan Shen, Salvia miltiorrhiza)Main functions:
Invigorates blood circulation and removes blood stasis
Cools blood and calms irritability
Improves microcirculation, especially in the heart, kidneys, and eyes
TCM perspective for diabetes:
Diabetes (消渴症 Xiao Ke Zheng) often leads to blood stasis, causing complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, and kidney damage.
Dan Shen prevents and improves diabetic complications by improving capillary circulation and reducing oxidative damage.
Modern research:
Contains tanshinones and salvianolic acid, which help lower blood sugar, protect β-cells in the pancreas, and reduce inflammation.
2. 山楂 (Shan Zha, Crataegus pinnatifida / Hawthorn fruit)Main functions:
Aids digestion and dissolves food stagnation, especially fatty or meaty foods
Promotes blood circulation and removes stasis
Reduces blood lipids and cholesterol
TCM perspective for diabetes:
Many diabetics have phlegm-damp and food stagnation, leading to obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Shan Zha helps reduce fat accumulation, improve metabolism, and enhance insulin sensitivity.
Modern research:
Hawthorn extract has been shown to lower blood lipids, improve heart function, and enhance glucose metabolism.
3. 黄芪 (Huang Qi, Astragalus membranaceus)Main functions:
Tonifies Qi, especially Spleen and Lung Qi
Promotes urination and reduces edema
Strengthens immune system
Heals sores and regenerates tissue
TCM perspective for diabetes:
Diabetes often begins with Spleen Qi deficiency, leading to poor transformation of food and fluids.
Huang Qi helps boost Qi, regulate sugar metabolism, and protect kidney function, which is often affected in chronic diabetes.
Modern research:
Contains astragalosides and polysaccharides that help improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood glucose, and protect the kidneys (preventing diabetic nephropathy).

Regulate Qi and Blood – Huang Qi boosts Qi, Dan Shen moves blood, Shan Zha clears stagnation. Improve metabolism – Promotes better digestion and glucose utilization. Protect organs – Dan Shen protects blood vessels, Huang Qi nourishes kidneys, Shan Zha supports the heart. Reduce diabetic complications – Improves circulation and prevents neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy.
