What are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine roasted Polygala?

In daily life, we often hear friends who are under long-term high pressure complain about their poor sleep, which causes them to feel tired the next day and unable to devote themselves to work and study better. Such a vicious cycle greatly reduces their work and study efficiency. Therefore, most of them will take the traditional Chinese medicine roasted Polygala to relieve insomnia. So what are the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine roasted Polygala? Let us take a look at it in the following time.

Nature and flavor: pungent, bitter, warm.

Meridians: Enters the heart, kidney and lung meridians.

Function: palpitations, forgetfulness, carbuncles, ulcers and swellings, cough with sputum, insomnia and nightmares.

Clinical application: 1. Used to calm the mind. It is used to treat irritability, mental confusion, palpitations, and insomnia caused by stagnation of heart qi or deficiency of heart blood, and congestion of phlegm. It can be seen in neurasthenia or insomnia after illness. It is used for its ability to relieve depression and calm the mind, but it is ineffective when used alone, and needs to be combined with Poria, Ziziphus jujuba seeds, etc., such as Guipi Decoction (see under Longan Meat), Yangxin Decoction (see under Poria), and Yuanzhi Decoction.

2. It is used to resolve phlegm and treat cough and wheezing caused by cold phlegm, but its effect is relatively weak and needs to be combined with Fritillaria cirrhosa, Pinellia ternata, Poria cocos, etc.

Appendix 1: In the past, some people believed that Polygala tenuifolia could improve the essence and strengthen the will, and cure forgetfulness, but in fact, Polygala tenuifolia has no such effect. Our predecessors have already refuted this, saying that Polygala tenuifolia "can be used to clear phlegm and promote qi, but it cannot improve the essence and strengthen the will."

Dosage: 1~9g, most commonly 4.5g. Excessive amounts can cause vomiting.

Prescription example: Yuanzhi Decoction (Zhengzhi Zhunsheng): 4.5g each of Polygala, Astragalus, Angelica, Ophiopogon (core removed), Ziziphus jujuba seeds, Dendrobium, 9g Codonopsis, 2.1g Poria, 1.5g Licorice, decocted in water.

Appendix 2: Xiaocao is the above-ground part of Polygala tenuifolia, and its leaves are mainly used. Its properties are roughly the same as those of Polygala tenuifolia. It is used in ancient prescriptions, but modern prescriptions all use Polygala tenuifolia, not Scutellaria baicalensis.

The above paragraphs introduce us in detail some of the effects and functions of the traditional Chinese medicine roasted Polygala tenuifolia. I believe that as long as friends have read the above content carefully, they will have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of these effects. But I still want to say one more thing. No matter how busy we are at work, we still have to arrange our work and rest time reasonably so that our brain can get enough rest.
