What are the medicinal properties of Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla is an expensive traditional Chinese medicine that can effectively help us treat dizziness and headaches that we are prone to. It is very effective in improving insomnia and dreaminess that we are prone to. It is also very effective in treating symptoms of neurasthenia that we are prone to. Let us popularize the medicinal properties and effects of Pulsatilla.

Pulsatilla is bitter and cold in nature. It enters the stomach and large intestine meridians and has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping dysentery, drying dampness and killing insects. It is mainly used to treat heat-toxic dysentery, epistaxis, hemorrhoids, leucorrhea, vaginal itching, carbuncle, and scrofula.

Pulsatilla is an important medicine for treating amoebic dysentery, and it is effective when used alone in large doses. The commonly used prescription Bai Tou Weng Decoction is made with this product as the main medicine, combined with Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense and Fraxinus chinensis. It can be used to treat both amoebic dysentery and bacillary dysentery.

This product is poisonous, and the root is the most poisonous. The whole plant contains protoanemonin, and the root contains anemonin. The whole herb without the roots has a cardiotonic effect, and its cardiotonic ingredients are wengyin and wenling. It has a stimulating effect on the mucous membrane when applied externally and can be used as a foaming agent. If taken in excess or by mistake, it can have a strong irritating effect on the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, and is toxic to the heart and blood vessels. It can cause visceral vasoconstriction and peripheral vascular dilation, and in severe cases, it can inhibit the respiratory center and lead to death.

Contact with skin and mucous membranes may cause swelling and pain. After excessive oral administration or accidental ingestion, the first symptoms of stomatitis include burning and swelling in the mouth, which may lead to difficulty chewing, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, black and foul-smelling stools, and even constipation, as well as rapid and weak heartbeat, decreased blood pressure, circulatory failure, difficulty breathing, and dilated pupils. In severe cases, death may occur within more than 10 hours.

The medicinal properties of Pulsatilla striata are far more than those listed above. Especially for some elderly people who often have problems with blood vessel blockage, taking Pulsatilla striata can also help us promote blood circulation in blood vessels, and can help us greatly reduce the chance of lower limb arteriosclerosis, which is prone to occur in ourselves. The effect is quite good.
