What are the effects, functions and contraindications of Stretching Grass?

In fact, as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, Stretch Muscle Grass can activate meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and can also effectively solve problems such as bruises and injuries. However, if pregnant women or people with excessive bleeding use Stretch Muscle Grass blindly, it will not only fail to achieve the therapeutic effect, but may easily cause more adverse injuries. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to scientific understanding of the contraindications of Stretch Muscle Grass.

1. Relax muscles and activate joints

It can be used for skin, muscle and joint lameness caused by cold, dampness and blood stasis.

(1) It is used for numbness of the skin, which is often seen in people with weak constitutions due to external pathogenic factors (wind, cold and dampness) invading the blood vessels. This product can be used to promote the flow of qi and blood and dredge the meridians.

(2) It is used for joint pain caused by wind-cold-dampness. It can dispel wind and cold, dry dampness and eliminate arthralgia, and relax muscles and activate collaterals.

(3) Used for injuries caused by falls, this product can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

2. Dehumidification

This product is pungent, bitter and warm in nature, and has the function of lowering qi and removing dampness. It is used for stomachache caused by qi stagnation, and can soothe the liver, relieve depression, and lower qi and eliminate stagnation.

"Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" says: "It can relieve gas, eliminate the fullness and blockage in the chest, push out the food left in the stomach, and eliminate the hard mass in the abdomen for a long time, and eliminate edema.

3. Dehumidification and detoxification

It is used for herpes zoster, also known as shingles, which is mostly caused by Qi deficiency that cannot promote water circulation, blood stasis and dampness accumulation. This product can promote Qi and blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dry dampness and detoxify.

4. Cooling

The water extract of lycopodii herb has a cooling effect on experimental fever in rabbits. Its active ingredients are lycopodine, lycopodium clavate, and lycopodium clavate poison. Lycopodium intravenous injection also has a cooling effect on cats.

5. Treat rheumatic fever

Smilax glabra is warm in nature and has no traditional Chinese medical evidence of clearing away heat and reducing fever. However, pharmacological studies have shown that its active ingredients have the effect of lowering body temperature and can therefore be used to treat fever caused by rheumatic diseases.

Taboos of Stretching Grass

"Sichuan Chinese Medicine Annals": "Pregnant women and those with excessive bleeding should not take it."

After understanding these effects and functions, I believe that everyone should have a deeper understanding of the medicinal uses of Stretch Marks Grass. Do not be blind in the use of these medicines. Although they have good medicinal value, if your physical condition does not allow it, blind use will only cause more adverse effects and harm.
