What are the effects and functions of parasitism?

The parasite is actually a plant of the Loranthaceae family, but it has great medicinal value. It is now mainly used to treat low back pain, strengthen children's backs, stabilize pregnancy, and treat yin deficiency and strengthen yang. It can also effectively treat rheumatic paralysis and miscarriage and hemorrhage. Therefore, in normal times, of course, you can also learn more about its effects, so that you can better exert its effects.

Parasitism comes from two plants, mistletoe and mistletoe, of the Loranthaceae family. They often parasitize on trees such as pear, elm, birch, maple poplar, and liquidambar. Mistletoe may be an inconspicuous medicinal plant in China.

The use of parasite as a traditional Chinese medicine was first recorded in "Shennong's Herbal Classic". Its original name was mulberry parasite and it was listed as a top-grade product. It has been recorded in herbal books of all dynasties and is now a commonly used Chinese medicine. "Shennong's Herbal Classic" says: "It treats low back pain, stiff back in children, carbuncle, stabilizes pregnancy, nourishes the skin, strengthens hair and teeth, and grows eyebrows and beard." "Bencao Zaixin" says: "It replenishes qi and warms the middle, treats yin deficiency, strengthens the yang, benefits bones and joints, promotes menstruation, replenishes blood and harmonizes blood, stabilizes pregnancy and relieves pain." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that parasitic plants are bitter and sweet in nature, and are neutral. They have the functions of tonifying the liver and kidneys, strengthening the tendons and bones, eliminating rheumatism, dredging meridians, benefiting blood, and stabilizing pregnancy. It is mainly used to treat low back and knee pain, weak muscles and bones, hemiplegia, athlete's foot, wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, miscarriage, hemorrhage, and postpartum milk retention.

Chemical composition analysis showed that it contained effective ingredients such as flavonoids, oleanolic acid, and amyl alcohol. Pharmacological experiments have confirmed that it has antihypertensive, cardiotonic and diuretic effects, and has a dilating effect on the isolated rabbit ear blood vessels with cholesterol-induced arteriosclerosis. Based on long-term clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine, it is concluded that parasites have the characteristics of not only eliminating rheumatism, but also nourishing the liver and kidneys and strengthening the tendons and bones. For arthritis, weak tendons and bones, and sore waist and knees caused by blood failure to nourish the tendons, and liver and kidney deficiency, it is often used together with Duhuo, Eucommia ulmoides, Achyranthes bidentata, and Angelica sinensis, such as Duhuo Jishe Decoction; it also has a stabilizing effect on the fetus, and is used for fetal leakage and fetal movement disorder, and is often used together with Dipsacus asper, donkey-hide gelatin, and Artemisia argyi.

The above is an introduction to the efficacy and effects of parasites. After analyzing and introducing these contents, I hope that everyone will have a more scientific understanding of Chinese medicine family planning. Before using any Chinese medicine, of course, you must consult a more professional doctor and try to avoid blind use of medicine and the adverse effects caused.
