In life, when we get sick, we often first choose Western medicine or Chinese patent medicine, which are quick-acting medicines to resist the disease. Therefore, we often ignore the knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine brought to us by the ancients. Like many people, I didn’t know what unicorn herb was. Later, I saw unicorn herb in many folk remedies, so I looked up some information to learn more about it. The unicorn lotus is a plant unique to China. It has many functions and effects, but it is also poisonous. For this reason, we must first understand the effects and functions of unicorn lotus: 1. Unicorn lotus has significant therapeutic effects on treating snake bites. Unicorn lotus is a traditional Chinese medicine with excellent detoxification effects. It has a good therapeutic effect on human snake bites. During treatment, fresh unicorn lotus can be crushed and then applied directly to the injured area. Change it once a day. After using it several times, all toxins in the body can be eliminated. 2. Unicorn lotus can also treat bruises and relieve symptoms such as limb numbness. When people are injured, they can mash the whole herb of fresh unicorn herb into a paste, then add liquor or lees and mix well, and apply it to the part of the hand. Change it once a day, and after three to five times, the symptoms of redness, swelling and pain will disappear. 3. Symptoms such as stroke, cold, headache, and rheumatism can also be treated with single horn lotus. 4. The tuber of Unicorn Lotus is also called White Atractylodes, and its beauty effect is mainly on the face. It can be used for whitening, removing tinea versicolor, keloids, and acne. Many products use white aconite, which is often used as a beauty additive or preservative and in skin care products. 5. In vitro experiments have shown that the ether and butanol extracts of Unicorn Herb have the effect of inhibiting S-180 and Ehrlich ascites cancer cells. Podophyllotoxin can inhibit mitosis in the middle stage of cells and has a significant inhibitory effect on animal tumors. 6. According to folk investigations, the wine brewed with unicorn lotus has a unique and mellow taste. Regular drinking of this wine, as well as drinking water boiled with unicorn lotus, can prevent many diseases. The effects and functions of unicorn lotus are very rich, but we must note that unicorn lotus is also a toxic Chinese medicinal material and must not be used casually. If you need to use it, you should consult a doctor first to ask about the dosage and method, and try to avoid unnecessary trouble. In addition, pregnant women should use it with caution, and people with yin deficiency, blood deficiency and wind, or excessive blood heat and wind should also use it with caution! |
