The efficacy and function of Pangdahai

Plantago ovata is a common ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. This medicine is very helpful to people's health, but it is not suitable for everyone. In fact, Plantago ovata has many effects and functions. I believe many friends don’t know much about this knowledge. Let’s take a look at the relevant knowledge about the traditional Chinese medicine Plantago ovata.

For Sterculia lychnophora, the laxative effect is an obvious one. Many animal experiments have proved that the laxative effect is relatively common in the efficacy and function of Sterculia lychnophora. The mechanism is that after Sterculia lychnophora is taken orally, the increase in intestinal contents can produce mechanical stimulation, causing increased reflex intestinal peristalsis and causing diarrhea. The outer layer of Sterculia lychnophora, soft shell, and kernel are extracted separately in water. For anesthetized dogs, no matter which method is used to administer the drug, intestinal peristalsis can be significantly increased, and this effect can be antagonized by atropine. The kernel extract at a concentration of 1:400,000 can increase intestinal peristalsis in isolated rabbits, but the effect of the outer layer of skin and soft shell is not obvious.

Hypotensive effect: 25% solution of Sterculia lychnophora seed (fat-free dry powder) can significantly reduce blood pressure in dogs and cats by intravenous, intramuscular or oral injection. Experiments have shown that its hypotensive mechanism is related to the central nervous system. There are also reports that Sterculia lychnophora seed water extract has a hypotensive effect on anesthetized dogs and a hypertensive effect on rabbits; however, the different effects on the blood pressure of dogs and rabbits can be sensitized by histamine.

Other effects: The water extracts of Panax notoginseng peel, soft shell and kernel all have certain diuretic and analgesic effects, with the kernel being the strongest; all three have no local irritation. Panax notoginseng tastes sweet and cool in nature. It enters the lung and large intestine meridians and has the effects of clearing lung heat, relieving throat, detoxifying, and moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements. It is used for hoarseness caused by lung heat, sore throat, constipation due to heat, and excessive use of the voice.

Therefore, after reading the introduction to the effects and functions of Sterculia lychnophora, we may have a lot of knowledge and understanding of the relevant knowledge. We hope that after knowing these situations, we can use Sterculia lychnophora reasonably, especially for conditions such as tonsillitis or sore throat, which has a very good auxiliary effect.
