It appears very widely in our lives. So what are the effects and functions of Ligusticum chuanxiong? Many people want to know this question, so let us learn about this point together.

Liquor Chuanxiong is a very common Chinese medicine in our daily life. It is also very important in our daily life. However, not everyone knows much about the efficacy and function of Liquor Chuanxiong. Let us learn about it in detail below.

Ligusticum chuanxiong is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, often used to promote blood circulation and qi, dispel wind and relieve pain. Ligusticum chuanxiong is pungent, warm, fragrant and dry, and it moves but does not stay. It can both disperse and go up to the top of the head. It has a wide range of blood circulation and blood stasis removal effects, and is suitable for various diseases caused by blood stasis. It dispels wind and relieves pain, and is very effective, and can treat wind-induced headaches, rheumatic pain and other symptoms. In detail, there are the following points:

1. In vitro tests such as antibacterial effects showed that the water extract of Chuanxiong (1:3) had an inhibitory effect on certain pathogenic skin fungi in vitro. Chuanxiong also has inhibitory effects on large intestine, dysentery, deformity, pus aeruginosa, typhoid, paratyphoid Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae.

2. Regarding the effect on the central nervous system, Chuanxiong has a significant sedative effect. A small amount of Chuanxiong volatile oil has an inhibitory effect on the activity of the animal brain, but has an excitatory effect on the medulla oblongata respiratory center, vasomotor center and spinal reflex center. The decoction of Chuanxiong was administered to mice and rats respectively, which could inhibit their spontaneous activities, prolong the sleep time of mice induced by sodium pentobarbital, and counteract the excitatory effect of caffeine (20 mg/kg), but could not counteract the convulsions of rats induced by pentylenetetrazol. Chuanxiong can inhibit the spontaneous activity of rats and has a more obvious sedative effect on mice than on rats; it can also prolong the sleep time of pentobarbital, but cannot antagonize the excitement of caffeine, nor prevent the convulsions or lethal effects of pentamethyltetrazolium and cocaine.

2. Anti-radiation effect: The water-soluble crude preparation of Chuanxiong has a protective effect on radiation exposure and nitrogen mustard damage in rats, mice and dogs, and the anti-radiation effect of Chuanxiong on rats is better than that on mice.

Preparation method of Chuanxiong:

1. Cleaning of Chuanxiong: pick out impurities, separate large and small ones, soak in water, dry in the sun, moisten and then slice and dry.

2. Wine-cooked Chuanxiong: Spray the Chuanxiong slices evenly with rice wine, simmer for a while, put them in a pan and stir-fry until slightly charred, take them out and let them cool (for every 100 jin of Chuanxiong slices, use 12 jin. 8 liang of rice wine).

3. Stewed fish head with Chuanxiong and Angelica dahurica: Wash Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, red dates and ginger, remove the core of red dates, peel and slice the ginger, rinse the big fish head with water, wash off the blood, and cut into pieces. Put Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, red dates, ginger and big fish head into a stewing pot, add appropriate amount of water, cover, put into the pot, and stew for about 4 hours. Add fine salt to taste and serve.
