Salvia and the History of Microcirculation Research in China.

Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza Salvia miltiorrhiza B red sage root Dan Shen Tanshinones Tanshinone IIA photo picture image Danshen(Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza) was used infrequently in ancient Chinese medicine, yet it has become an important herb in modern Chinese clinical practice. The transformation of salvia from a rarely used and minor component of formulas to a key herb is a story that sheds light on the evolution of the Chinese medical tradition.
A review of herb formula guides shows that salvia appears in very few traditional formulas that are studied by modern practitioners. The only frequently mentioned traditional formula that includes this herb is Tianwang Buxin Dan (the Heavenly Emperor's Heart Nourishing Pill; Ginseng and Zizyphus Formula). The prescription has been made into a popular patent remedy, mainly used for insomnia, poor memory, and mental agitation (see: Tianwang Buxin Dan). The formula has 16 ingredients, with only a small amount of salvia, which has been included for its heart nourishing and spirit pacifying actions.
In modern Chinese clinical practice, salvia is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbs: it appears in numerous formulations, sometimes as the key ingredient. In addition, salvia is sometimes given as a single herb remedy, and is even prepared in injection form for IV administration. The elevation of salvia to a key herb took place in two steps: recognition of salvia as a valuable blood-vitalizing agent leading to incorporation of the herb in modern formulas for angina pectoris; and then, investigations of its effectiveness in treating microcirculation disorders, leading to its use in treating liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
