Mulberry branch is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has many benefits to the human body. It can be used to treat rheumatic joint swelling and pain, regulate the circulation of qi and blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and nourish the spleen, stomach, and kidneys, etc. When facing the Chinese medicine mulberry branch, people need to understand its effects in detail before they can use it better. So let me give you a detailed introduction to the effects of the Chinese medicinal material mulberry branch. The efficacy and function of mulberry branches 1. Expel wind evil and dredge blood vessels. "Essentials of Diagnosis and Treatment of Stroke" says: "When wind invades the meridians, it is called infection if it is mild, injury if it is severe, and stroke if it is even more severe." When wind evil invades the meridians, the circulation of qi and blood is blocked, the meridians lose nourishment, and the limbs become cramped; when wind evil invades the skin, the qi and blood in the skin are blocked, the blood vessels become disharmony, and the skin becomes itchy as if worms are crawling. Mulberry twigs can dispel wind, dredge meridians, promote the flow of qi and blood, moisten the limbs and joints, and relieve itching. They are used for cramps in the limbs and itchy skin. 2. Relieve rheumatism and benefit joints. It is used for wind, cold and dampness. "Treatise on Arthritis" in "Syndrome, Cause and Pulse Treatment" says: "Arthritis means blockage. The meridians are blocked, and there is numbness and insensitivity. Or it may attack and cause pain, or it may condense in the joints, or it may be heavy and difficult to move, so it is called blockage." If wind prevails, it is called wandering arthritis. The nature of wind changes frequently, so the joint pain in the upper and lower limbs moves from time to time; if cold prevails, it is called painful arthritis. The nature of cold is stagnant, and the blockage of qi and blood is more severe, so the joint pain is severe and the pain is in a fixed place; if dampness prevails, it is called fixed arthritis. The nature of dampness is sticky and heavy, making the joints heavy and numb. Mulberry twig is bitter in nature and flat in flavor. It is good at moving around the limbs, dispelling wind, drying dampness, and dredging the meridians. It can disperse the wind evil that causes arthritis, dispel the dampness that causes arthritis, and dredge the blood vessels that cause painful arthritis, and treat arthritis caused by wind, cold, and dampness. Therefore, "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "It benefits joints, nourishes body fluids, promotes water circulation and dispels wind." 3. It can promote diuresis and reduce edema, and is used for symptoms such as athlete's foot and edema. The spleen is earth. It likes dryness and hates dampness. External dampness is caused by the spleen, or spleen deficiency and cold and dampness are generated internally. Both of them can cause the spleen to lose its healthy function, affect the distribution of body fluid and cause edema. Water tends to go downward, and dampness flows downward, causing severe swelling of the lower limbs, which may even ulcerate into sores. This is called beriberi edema. Mulberry branches are bitter and flat and enter the spleen and lung meridians. They can open the upper source of water, promote diuresis and reduce swelling; they can dry out the dampness of the spleen and earth, and their shapes are like branches that circulate, removing dampness from the lower limbs. When the water and dampness are removed, the beriberi edema will heal itself. The prescription in "Shengji Zonglu" uses mulberry branches as a single medicine. After frying, add one liter of water, boil two cups of it, and take it on an empty stomach every day to treat water retention and athlete's foot. Very effective. Pharmacological effects of mulberry twig 1. Improve the lymphocyte transformation rate. Mulberry branches have a certain therapeutic effect on patients with low lymphocyte transformation rate. For example, patients with low lymphocyte transformation rate were divided into two groups. In addition to the corresponding treatment, the mulberry branch group was given 30 grams of mulberry branch decoction every day, while the control group did not use mulberry branch. After one month of treatment, the lymphatic metastasis rate in the control group was no different from that before treatment, while it was significantly increased in the mulberry branch group. 2. It has a certain anti-Brucella effect, but its mechanism is unknown. Chronic brucellosis was treated with mulberry soup, and the control group showed a certain therapeutic effect. The application of mulberry branches 1.
