The following editor of Four Seasons Health Network will introduce to you the effects and functions of Bletilla striata powder.

The efficacy and function of Bletilla striata powder:

Modern pharmacological research shows that Bletilla striata contains Bletilla striata gum and glucomannan, which have a significant inhibitory effect on human tuberculosis bacteria and can inhibit Gram-positive bacteria; the water extract also has an inhibitory effect on Microspores of Trichophyton in test tubes. Based on this, the Dermatology Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine used it in combination with other Chinese medicines such as Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, and Aconitum carmichaelii to make a powder that can treat chloasma, which has achieved obvious results in clinical practice.

Melasma is also known as "liver spots", Chinese medicine calls it "dark and black", and Western medicine calls it facial chloasma pigmentation skin disease. It is one of the common facial skin diseases. It can occur in both men and women, and is most common in women.

Chloasma in women is related to factors such as sun exposure, medication, pregnancy, and menstrual disorders. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, if Qi and blood are abundant and meridians are unobstructed, the face will be radiant and beautiful. If Qi is stagnant or evil enters the meridians, the meridians will be blocked, Qi will stagnate and blood will stagnate, causing a dark face. If the spleen fails to function, or the body is weak after an illness, the blood is weak and the skin is not nourished, then gray-brown spots will appear. If the kidney Qi is insufficient and the kidney water is depleted, the color will be reflected on the outside as dark spots. If the spleen is trapped by dampness, the dampness will stagnate and the meridians will be blocked, then chloasma will appear on the face.

Based on this theory, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has developed the "Freckle Removing and Whitening Powder" with Bletilla striata as the main ingredient through years of clinical practice. This powder has the effects of promoting qi and blood circulation, unblocking meridians, nourishing blood and nourishing the body, warming and dispersing, and clearing turbidity and nourishing the skin. It has taken a gratifying step in eliminating chloasma.

In fact, a Chinese medicine like Bletilla striata powder is mainly used to stop bleeding and relieve pain. It has a good effect on very common skin diseases and can be used by both men and women. However, nowadays women suffer from chloasma more often, and most of them have problems with insufficient kidney qi and poor blood circulation, which can be treated with Bletilla striata powder.
