What are the effects and functions of Digupi?

I believe that for many middle-aged and elderly friends, even if they have a lot of retirement benefits, they cannot feel happy. Because what they want most is the health of their bodies, so that they can live longer. However, due to some unknown reasons, symptoms of high blood pressure always appear, so they usually use Rehmannia glutinosa to relieve the condition of high blood pressure. So what are the effects and functions of Rehmannia glutinosa? Please join me in taking a look in the following time.

The role of the root bark

1. Effects on the cardiovascular system: The infusion, tincture and decoction of Radix Rehmanniae have a significant antihypertensive effect on anesthetized dogs, cats and rabbits when injected intravenously, accompanied by a slowing of the heart rate and a quickening of breathing; the effect of the infusion seems to be better than that of the decoction; repeated administration can produce varying degrees of rapid tolerance. The concentrated tincture also exhibits a long-lasting and stable antihypertensive effect when injected intramuscularly into anesthetized dogs and cats or when the decoction is administered orally to unanesthetized rats. The antihypertensive effect of Lycium bark is related to the central nervous system, and it may also have the effect of blocking sympathetic nerve endings and directly dilating blood vessels. During the period of hypotensive treatment, there were no obvious changes in the electrocardiogram except for a slower heart rate and a decrease in T waves. A toxic dose could cause partial or even complete block of atrioventricular conduction in the guinea pig's heart.

2. Hypoglycemic effect: When rabbits were gavaged with a decoction of Radix Rehmanniae, their blood sugar levels first increased for a short time, then decreased permanently, and did not recover after 4 to 8 hours. It has no significant antagonistic effect on hyperglycemia caused by injection of epinephrine. When the extract was injected subcutaneously into rabbits, blood sugar was also lowered. Another extract from the root of bearded wolfberry caused a significant and lasting decrease in blood sugar in rats and increased carbohydrate tolerance. Its blood sugar-lowering effect was due to the guanidine derivatives it contained.

3. Antipyretic effect: Rehmannia root bark has a significant antipyretic effect on rabbits with artificial fever. Its ether extract and the aqueous extract of the residue after ethanol extraction had no effect, while the ethanol extract, water extract or aqueous extract of the residue after ether extraction all had an effect. Its antipyretic effect is weaker than that of aminopyrine and is approximately equal to that of other antipyretics.

4. Anti-pathogenic effect: The decoction of Radix Rehmanniae has a strong inhibitory effect on Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi A and Shigella flexneri, but has no effect on Staphylococcus aureus; it has an inhibitory effect on the cytopathic effect of the Asian influenza A virus strain Jingke 68-1; it is a low-efficiency antibacterial drug for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The above paragraphs have given us a good introduction to the efficacy and functions of Rehmannia glutinosa. I sincerely hope that my friends can read the above content carefully so that they can have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of the efficacy and functions of Rehmannia glutinosa. Of course, I also hope that everyone can clearly know some Chinese medicines that are incompatible with Rehmannia glutinosa, so as to avoid more accidents.
