What are the effects of dried seahorse?

Seahorses are not common in our lives. They have high medicinal value and can be made into various medicines. They are not cheap. It is also a very good tonic for men, with the effects of strengthening the body, relieving inflammation and pain, and calming the nerves. There are many ways to eat it, and it does not require complicated processing. You can add some ginkgo and walnuts to stew soup, cook porridge, or make it into medicinal wine. So what are the specific effects of seahorse on our body? Let me tell you in detail the effects of seahorse.

1. Sex hormone-like effects

Hippocampus can increase the sex hormone levels of humans and experimental animals by nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, and is effective for both male and female experimental animals. Sex hormone levels are closely related to aging, and increasing sex hormone levels is beneficial to anti-aging. At the same time, it is also a good treatment for infertility and sexual dysfunction. In addition, the hippocampus also has a therapeutic effect on the symptoms caused by the weakening of menopausal hormone levels.

The ethanol extract of hippocampus striatum can prolong the estrus period of normal female mice, induce estrus in castrated mice, and increase the weight of the uterus and ovaries (normal mice). The extract of seahorse (species not specified) exhibits androgen-like effects, which is weaker than that of Cnidium monnieri and Epimedium, but stronger than that of Gecko.

2. Anti-aging effect

Aging is a natural phenomenon and also represents the decline of various body functions. Taking seahorse can delay the aging effect. From ancient times to the present, seahorse has been used as a tonic for longevity. Modern animal experiments have also proved that seahorse powder, decoction or wine soaking preparations can resist aging. Long-term use by middle-aged and elderly people has a good health-care effect. Hippocampus can prolong the hypoxia and survival time of mice (NiH male mice), prolong the swimming time of mice, show better anti-stress ability, enhance physical fitness and resistance to adverse external stimuli, and enhance the memory of animals. The hippocampus has a significant effect on MAO-B (monoamine oxidase B) activity and lipid peroxidation. Pharmacological experiments have shown that the preparation of seahorse and ginseng can significantly prolong the swimming duration of mice and counteract the adverse effects of thymus atrophy in mice caused by hydrocortisone, demonstrating the tonic effect of this preparation.

3. Anti-fatigue

Hippocampus can improve the body's athletic ability, delay the occurrence of fatigue and accelerate recovery from fatigue, making people energetic after taking it. It can be used to improve work fatigue, memory loss, fatigue and dizziness.

4. Improve immunity

Hippocampus can significantly improve the immunity of humans and experimental animals. It can be taken regularly by patients who are weak, prone to illness, colds, coughs and asthma.

5. Anti-tumor

Anti-tumor involves directly killing tumor cells and improving various overall functions (including immune function) to defeat tumors. Hippocampus has good effects in both aspects. The use of seahorses to treat benign and malignant tumors has a long history. Ancient doctors used seahorses to eliminate various masses in the body. Modern animal experiments have shown that the hippocampus has a significant anti-tumor effect.
