What are the effects of Lingxian

Lingxian is a relatively common Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. It is also effective in preventing tumors. It can also lower blood sugar and blood pressure, promote the secretion of bile, and is also effective in analgesia and antispasmodic effects. For people who often engage in physical labor, Lingxian can be used for treatment, which is very effective in preventing lumbar muscle strain.

1. Effects on the circulatory system.

A 50% infusion (1 ml/kg) of Clematis angustifolia can lower blood pressure and reduce kidney volume in anesthetized dogs, while the efficacy of its decoction is only half that of the infusion. It has an inhibitory and then excitatory effect on the isolated toad heart. The efficacy of its infusion seems to be about 3-5 times greater than that of its decoction. Its antihypertensive effect may be related to its inhibition on the heart.

2. Effect on smooth muscle.

The decoction of Clematis angustifolia has a significant excitatory effect on the isolated intestine of mice, which may be a direct effect on the smooth muscle. It also has a similar effect on the isolated intestine of rats and rabbits; it has no obvious effect on the isolated uterus of mice.

3. Antidiuretic effect.

Preparations of Clematis angustifolia have significant antidiuretic effects on mice, rats, and guinea pigs. The effect of the infusion is roughly the same as that of the decoction; 0.2 ml of a 50% decoction is approximately equivalent to the antidiuretic effect of 0.1 unit of vasopressin, and its duration of action seems to be longer than that of vasopressin. This effect may also be related to the decrease in blood pressure and renal vasoconstriction.

4. Hypoglycemic effect.

The extract of Clematis chinensis has a significant effect on enhancing glucose assimilation in normal rats (that is, after giving rats a large amount of glucose, the urine glucose test is still negative), so it may have a hypoglycemic effect.

Relieve rheumatism and relieve pain.

Used for rheumatic pain. It is good at moving and can pass through the twelve meridians, so it is particularly suitable for migratory rheumatic pain throughout the body.

5. Treat arthritis.

This product is a commonly used medicine for the treatment of arthritis. It has certain therapeutic effects on reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, sciatica, and cervical spondylosis pain. It is used together with Xianlingpi and Chuanduanrou.

6. Treat fish bone stuck in the throat.

Used for bones stuck in the throat. You can use this product to boil a soup and swallow it slowly, which can usually make the fishbone stuck in your throat disappear. It can also be taken with rice vinegar and sugar. In addition, this product can eliminate phlegm and water, and can be used for choking and abdominal distension.

The effect of Clematis chinensis on fish bones may be that it can enhance the excitability of esophageal smooth muscle, changing rhythmic contraction into peristalsis, and causing local relaxation and peristalsis change, making fish bones easier to loosen. It can treat diseases caused by fish bones and other small bones stuck in the throat.
