Rhinitis is stubborn and annoying, causing many problems in patients' lives. I believe that some people may not be able to cure their rhinitis even after seeing doctors and taking medicine countless times, and the disease will recur again and again. When using traditional Chinese medicine to treat rhinitis, in addition to the well-known Chinese herbal medicine Xanthium sibiricum, there is also a magical "magic flower" - magnolia.

What is a "demon flower"?

In early spring, the magnolia flowers bloom before the leaves. They are white in color, have a sweet fragrance, and sway refreshingly on the branches, which is unique and charming.

Magnolia, also known as magnolia, magnolia, purple magnolia, and magnolia. Mainly produced in Henan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Hubei, Zhejiang and other places, the magnolia tree has vigorous vitality and can grow in plains, mountainous hills and barren slopes. It is one of the precious tree species for beautifying urban gardens or residential courtyards.

Did it suddenly dawn on you that magnolia is the "magnolia" in our daily life? It is incredible that the "beauty" that is so common around us can also be a medicinal herb for treating rhinitis. Now let’s take a look at the effectiveness of magnolia flowers in treating rhinitis.

Effect of rhinitis treatment

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "The pungent and warm nature of magnolia can move the qi into the lungs and help the clear yang in the stomach to move upward, so it can warm the middle and cure diseases of the face, eyes and nose."

The pungent, fragrant and warm magnolia flower is light in texture and thin in breath. It can flow through the lung meridian and relieve depression and open the orifices. It is an important medicine for treating sinusitis or other symptoms such as headache and nasal congestion caused by various reasons.

Clinical studies have shown that magnolia flower preparations applied to the nasal mucosa can produce a layer of coagulant, reducing secretion and exudation. At the same time, due to the dilation of microvessels, local blood circulation improves, which can also promote the absorption of secretions.

The oil extracted from magnolia flowers is made into oil gauze and stuffed into the nasal cavity to treat hypertrophic rhinitis, with an effective rate of over 92%.

Magnolia flowers are mostly used externally, but can also be decocted and taken internally. For the convenience of taking, Chinese patent medicines such as rhinitis pills and rhinitis tablets have been made.

According to modern pharmacological research, the volatile oil contained in magnolia flowers has the effect of constricting the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa and can replace ephedrine; its volatile components have the effect of contracting the uterus and lowering blood pressure.

Modern Chinese medicine uses it to treat acute and chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, sinusitis, paranasal sinusitis, etc., with magnolia flower as the main medicine, supplemented by angelica dahurica, saposhnikovia divaricata, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Bupleurum chinense, and Xanthium sibiricum, all of which have good therapeutic effects.
