Drynaria is also known as rock ginger, climbing ginger, meat-breaking ginger, and stone-breaking ginger. It is a fern plant of the order Pteridales and family Osteoporaceae. Its roots can be dug and used throughout the year. It is a common Chinese medicinal material, generally growing on tree trunks or rocks in mountain forests, at an altitude of 500-700 meters. Drynaria fortunei plays a very good role in supplementing the nutrition of human bones. So, what are the effects of Drynaria fortunei? How to use Drynaria fortunei to treat diseases? The efficacy and function of bone drynaria: (1) Nourishing the kidney and strengthening bones: This medicine can promote the absorption of calcium by bones, increase blood calcium and blood phosphorus levels, and is beneficial to bone calcification and bone salt formation. The extract of Rhizoma Drynariae has a significant promoting effect on the calcium and phosphorus deposition in the primordium of chicken embryo bone, increases the activity of acid phosphatase in the tissue, promotes the synthesis of proteoglycans, and inhibits collagen synthesis. Rats with experimental bone inflammation were gavaged with a decoction of Drynaria fortunei for three consecutive months, which improved the function of cartilage red blood cells, delayed cell degeneration, and reduced the incidence of osteoarthritis, having a good therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis. (ii) Anti-drug toxicity: The decoction of this medicine has obvious detoxification effect on the toxic and side effects caused by kanamycin and streptomycin, can reduce the toxic effect of kanamycin on the cochlea, has a certain preventive effect on drug ototoxicity, protects the kidneys, and can reduce the damage of kanamycin to the kidneys. The dihydroflavonoid glycosides contained in this drug can significantly offset or weaken the hypnotic effect of isobarbital on mice. Sodium isobarbital is mainly metabolized by hepatic enzymes in the liver. Dihydroflavonoid glycosides have an inducing effect on hepatic enzymes, probably by activating hepatic enzymes to decompose sodium isobarbital. Therefore, Drynaria fortunei is a liver-protecting and detoxifying medicine. (III) Lowering blood lipids, anti-thrombotic and cardiotonic: Drynaria polysaccharide salt, steroid lactone and dihydroflavonoid glycosides all have the effect of lowering serum cholesterol. The effect of polysaccharide salts is particularly prominent. It has a significant effect in reducing experimental hypercholesterolemia in rabbits. While lowering lipids, it does not cause an increase in cholesterol in tissues. And it has anti-atherosclerotic effect. Electron microscopic observation showed that the lipid-lowering mechanism of polysaccharide salts is that polysaccharide salts have the function of protecting liver and adrenal organelles, thereby improving the metabolic process of cholesterol in cells. The above is an introduction to the effects of Drynaria fortunei, which has a good therapeutic effect on nourishing the kidney and strengthening bones, lowering blood lipids and blood pressure, and resisting viruses. Therefore, bone crushing is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to supplement bone nutrition, relieve joint pain, etc. However, when using Drynaria fortunei, it must be used under the advice and guidance of a doctor, so that it can achieve a good therapeutic effect. |
