What diseases can Wuduoyun herbal medicine cure?

The five-cloud medicinal herb is Zeqi, which is used to treat abdominal edema and edema of the limbs and appearance. This product is slightly cold and has a strong effect of promoting urination and reducing swelling. Used for cough and wheezing due to phlegm. This product is pungent and bitter in nature, so it has the effect of relieving cough, resolving phlegm, relieving cough and relieving asthma. If water retention and damp phlegm invade the lungs and cause wheezing and coughing, it is often used together with cinnamon twigs, ginger slices, and bupleurum, such as Zeqi Decoction in the Golden Chamber. Used for itching of scrofula and ringworm. This product can relieve cough, resolve phlegm, eliminate lumps, detoxify and reduce swelling. The following is a detailed introduction to the actual effects of lacquer.

1. Antitussive and expectorant effects: Quercetin 3-diglactoside and hyperoside contained in lacquer have antitussive effects. Hyperoside has a strong cough and phlegm-relieving effect. The helium mist method on mice has confirmed that the antitussive effect of oral administration of 500 mg/Kg hyperoside is not inferior to that of oral administration of codeine 80 mg/Kg, but the hyperoside component in lacquer is very small. Wedgeroot 3-digalatin has a similar structure and function to hyperoside and is the key cough and expectorant component of lacquer. In addition, clinical laboratory tests found that the acid-base mucopolysaccharide fiber in the sputum of patients taking Zeqi tablets decreased, so it is inferred that Zeqi can inhibit the formation of acid-base mucopolysaccharides and have the effect of expectoration.

2. Anti-pain effect: Zeqi has inhibitory effects on mouse sarcoma S180, S37, mouse sepsis and other tumor strains. Two individual substances, lacquer A and B, were isolated from lacquer, and scientific studies have shown that they both have anti-cancer properties.

3. Other effects: Zeqi has a certain effect on tuberculosis in clinical medicine, but its decoction, diluted fermentation extract and distillation have no inhibitory effect on tuberculosis bacteria in vitro.

4. Toxic side effects: The emulsion of lacquer is highly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Contact with the skin can cause redness or even inflammation and ulceration, but clinically, when its decoction is taken orally, even at a dosage of approximately 150g/kg, no significant toxic or side effects have been observed, probably because the harmful ingredients are insoluble in water. If fresh grass or milky white liquid is accidentally ingested, the oral cavity, esophageal and gastric mucosa may become inflamed and eroded, with burning pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea. Severe cases may lead to dehydration and even metabolic acidosis.
