What diseases can yew cure

Yew is not only a plant with high ornamental value, but also a traditional Chinese medicine that can have good pharmacological effects on the human body. However, in modern society, due to the increasing demand for yew trees, yew trees are now on the verge of extinction. Yew has also become a relatively rare plant, so everyone must pay attention to protecting it. Today I will explain to you the pharmacological effects of yew on the human body.

1. It has powerful effects in treating cancer.

Paclitaxel, extracted from the bark and leaves of yew trees, is effective in treating many advanced cancers and is known as the "last line of defense in treating cancer."

The roots, stems, leaves and fruits of yew are all treasures. Paclitaxel, extracted from yew plants as the main raw material, is mainly used to treat advanced breast cancer, advanced ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, bladder cancer, lymphoma, prostate cancer, malignant melanoma and head and neck tumors, upper gastrointestinal cancer, small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. Experience has shown that paclitaxel has a unique anti-tumor mechanism and significant tumor-suppressing effect.

2. Yew also has therapeutic effects on other diseases.

It contains a large amount of taxane terpene compounds, including taxane, taxane A, taxane H, taxane K, taxane L, taxine, taxin and many other elements. It can relieve dysmenorrhea, promote diuresis, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, prevent leukemia and tumors, and has significant effects on the treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. In addition to extracting medicinal value, the yew aril can also be eaten. It tastes sweet and sour and stimulates appetite. The leaves can also be eaten raw, which has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects, and its seeds can be used to extract oil. Some people also extract paclitaxel enzymes from yew and combine them with essential oils to make beauty skin care products, which can moisturize and regulate blood circulation.
