The efficacy and function of pangolin

Pangolin is a traditional Chinese medicine containing a variety of amino acids and trace elements. It has been widely used by people in ancient times. However, since pangolins have been listed as national protected animals, they are becoming increasingly rare. However, in order to inherit the cultural heritage, we should also learn and understand the functions and effects of pangolins. Let's ask an expert to give us an introduction.

The pangolin we are talking about now does not refer to the entire pangolin, but only the shell on the outside of the pangolin. This shell can be processed into pangolin slices. Now, we will ask experts to explain in detail the effects and functions of pangolins.

The efficacy and function of pangolin

1. Treat breast diseases and thyroid diseases. The most common clinical use of Pao Pangolin Slices is to treat breast diseases. In addition to lactation, it is also commonly used in the treatment of breast diseases. Paojia tablets have the effect of softening and reducing swelling, and are also clinically used for thyroid diseases, such as goiter, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and lymphadenopathy.

2. Regarding the treatment of arthritis, it is traditional to use Paojia tablets to treat rheumatic joints, and experiments have also proven that it has anti-inflammatory effects. It can be used clinically for ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other diseases, and can be used together with ginger, acanthopanax bark, and knotweed. Since most Chinese medicines with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects are soft, Paojia tablets can be used as a backup medicine and only used when there are more suitable cases.

3. Paojia tablets are only used in special circumstances. Paojia tablets have the effect of promoting blood circulation and have anticoagulant effects. Most of the Chinese medicines in the category of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis have anticoagulant effects. We mostly choose Chinese medicines that also have immunosuppressive effects. Paojia tablets are only used in special circumstances, such as overlap of lupus erythematosus and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid enlargement, rheumatoid arthritis accompanied by breast disease, or the co-existence of vasculitis and leukopenia.

4. Treatment of chronic liver disease: Paojia tablets and Zhibijia are used together to treat chronic hepatitis and early liver cirrhosis based on TCM differentiation of symptoms to soften hard masses and reduce swelling. For patients with positive E antigen and HBV-DNA, it is advisable to use it together with liver-soothing and qi-regulating drugs such as Bupleurum and Curcuma, or with roasted turtle shell.

The above is the experts’ explanation of the efficacy and functions of pangolins. We can learn a lot about the efficacy and functions of pangolins, but it is worth noting that pangolins themselves are toxic and must be processed before use. Improper use will also cause many side effects, so the dosage must be controlled when using them.
