What are the effects and functions of buffalo horn powder

Buffalo horn powder is actually a substance made from ground buffalo horns. It can be used as medicine and has excellent cardiotonic, anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effects. It can also reduce the permeability of capillaries and has a good sedative effect. Because ether or 95% ethanol extract can be extracted from buffalo horn powder, it can also promote coagulation substances and achieve hemostatic effect.

Pharmacological Action

The main effects include cardiotonic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, sedative, tranquilizer, shortening bleeding time, reducing capillary permeability, and stimulating the pituitary-adrenal cortex system.

Strong Heart

Buffalo horn decoction has the effect of enhancing the contractile force of isolated frog hearts. Its decoction or aqueous solution of ether extract has enhancing effect on isolated toad heart and isolated rabbit heart. This effect is similar to that of rhinoceros horn decoction.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-infective

Oral administration of buffalo horn decoction has a certain anti-inflammatory effect on inflammation caused by injection of fresh egg white into the plantar of rats or mice. Subcutaneous injection of the drug significantly enhanced the phagocytic function of the mouse reticuloendothelial system; it had a significant protective effect on mice infected by intraperitoneal injection of Escherichia coli or beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, and significantly reduced the mortality rate.

Calm, calm

Ether or 95% ethanol extracts of buffalo horn have a sedative effect on rats. Buffalo horn decoction 90g/kg body weight was gavaged to mice for 3 consecutive days. It had no obvious effect on the effects of pentylenetetrazol and caffeine, but it could prolong the latency period of reaction and the survival time of animals, and the reaction rate and mortality rate of animals. At the same time, it could prolong the sleep time of animals in the sodium pentobarbital group, indicating that buffalo horn has a certain calming effect, and its site of action on the central nervous system may be mainly in the spinal cord.

Shorten bleeding time

Buffalo horn decoction has the effect of significantly shortening bleeding time, with a shortening rate of 43.24%. In an experiment using decalcified sheep plasma, it was found that buffalo horn contained no substances that promoted coagulation, except calcium. Continuous administration for 2-4 weeks can reduce capillary permeability. These effects indicate that buffalo horn also has the efficacy of cooling blood and removing spots, which is consistent with the result that it can reduce bleeding spots in the clinical treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

The above is an introduction to some of the effects and functions of buffalo horn powder. Through these contents, we now know that buffalo horn powder can forcibly resist inflammation and infection, and at the same time it can also better shorten the bleeding time. Therefore, in life, if it is widely used, it can bring good health care effects to health.
