Gecko is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine, which plays a great role in treating various diseases and maintaining health. Speaking of Gecko, you may feel very unfamiliar. It has another name, giant gecko, and it is recorded in many medical books. What are the specific effects and functions of geckos?

1. Estrogenic effect: Gecko ethanol extract can prolong the estrus period of normal female mice, and can induce estrus in ovariectomized mice; and increase the weight of the uterus and ovaries (normal mice). Gecko ethanol extract (GEA) has a direct effect on the genital organs (uterus and vagina) of female rats. When the body and tail are compared with courtship hormones, the weight-increasing effect of the tail exceeds that of courtship hormones, while the weight-increasing effect of the body is close to that of courtship hormones. The alcohol extracts of gecko body and tail can advance the time of vaginal opening in young female mice, and the time of gecko tail group is earlier than that of gecko body group.

2. Androgen-like effect: Taking the weight of mouse prostate, seminal vesicle and levator ani muscle as indicators, the ethanol extract of Gecko exhibits androgen-like effect. The alcohol extracts of the body and tail of gecko can increase the weight of the seminal vesicles and prostate of castrated male rats; the weight-increasing effect of the tail is stronger than that of the body. The alcohol extract of gecko can shorten the mating latency period of male fruit flies and prolong the mating time. The water-soluble part of the alcohol extract of gecko can only increase the weight of the testicles of male mice, showing an androgen-like effect, while the fat-soluble part can increase the weight of the uterus of female mice and the testicles of male mice.

In addition, Gecko also has the unique effects of nourishing the lungs and kidneys, quenching thirst and relieving stranguria, invigorating qi and calming the mind, etc. It is a rare and precious medicinal material. However, when choosing it, you must also pay special attention. You cannot eat it casually, otherwise it will cause harm to your body. Being responsible for your own body is also being responsible for your family. Health is the capital of life.
