The efficacy and function of Scrophularia ningpoensis is mainly used to treat irritability, restless sleep, rashes on the body, insomnia, and sore throat caused by febrile diseases.

The efficacy and function of Scrophularia

1. It is used for symptoms such as heat entering the blood, thirst, red tongue, irritability, restless sleep, unclear consciousness or rashes on the body due to febrile diseases. When warm evil enters the blood, it damages the yin and robs the fluid, causing thirst and red tongue. When it invades the pericardium, it causes irritability and coma. Scrophularia can clear away heat and cool blood, and has the effect of nourishing yin and promoting body fluid. It is often used together with fresh Rehmannia, Ophiopogon japonicus, Coptis chinensis, Forsythia suspensa, Lonicera japonica, and Bambusa longituba for the above symptoms.

2. Used for sore throat, red eyes, scrofula and tuberculosis. Sore throat can be caused by exogenous wind-heat or yin deficiency and virtual fire.

Scrophularia can treat all of them. If you are affected by wind-heat, you must take pungent and cool antipyretic drugs such as mint, burdock, etc.; if you have false fire, you must use yin-nourishing drugs such as fresh rehmannia, ophiopogon, etc. Therefore, Scrophularia is a commonly used drug in laryngology, especially for treating false fire. As for the symptoms of red eyes with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, this product can be used together with raw rehmannia, semen cassiae, herba prunellae, herba scutellariae, and buddlejac. For the treatment of scrofula and tuberculosis, it can be used together with Fritillaria, oyster, etc.

3. Scrophularia is salty and cold in nature, moist and fluid in texture, and has the functions of nourishing yin, reducing fire, detoxifying, and promoting the circulation of qi. When combined with fresh rehmannia, moutan bark, red peony root, etc., it can clear away heat and cool blood; when combined with large rehmannia, ophiopogon japonicus, etc., it can nourish yin and increase fluid; when combined with burdock fruit, isatis root, etc., it can detoxify and relieve sore throat; when combined with large rehmannia, semen cassiae, buddlejac, cicada shell, etc., it can improve eyesight and remove cataracts; when combined with oyster, fritillaria, prunella vulgaris, etc., it can disperse nodules and eliminate scrofula; when combined with honeysuckle, angelica, and liquorice, it can detoxify and reduce swelling.

4. The effect of Scrophularia ningpoensis in nourishing kidney yin is similar to that of Rehmannia glutinosa, so the two medicines are often used together. However, Scrophularia ningpoensis is bitter and can laxative, clear away heat, detoxify and relieve sore throat. It has a wide range of clinical applications and is generally not used as a long-term tonic. Rehmannia glutinosa is specifically used to nourish the kidney and yin, and can be used as a long-term yin-nourishing medicine.

The above introduces in detail the effects and functions of Scrophularia ningpoensis. I hope that everyone can have a more scientific understanding of this and pay attention to these common sense understandings, so that it can achieve good results for our physical health and the treatment of some adverse diseases. If you have a sore throat, you can also use it to treat it.
