What are the effects of Chinese medicine Acanthopanax senticosus?

Acanthopanax and ginseng have similar effects, such as regulating body disorders, resisting fatigue, removing rheumatism, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and strengthening the stomach and promoting diuresis. Acanthopanax has many functions, which can increase the body's oxygen consumption and oxygen absorption, increase our exercise time and strengthen our physical fitness. When the brain lacks oxygen, people will feel tired and drowsy. Acanthopanax can regulate our body's central nervous system and dilate blood vessels, thereby improving blood volume in the brain. The method of consumption is very simple. It can be eaten as a vegetable, used in making dumplings, stir-frying, or serving cold dishes.

2. Impact on immunity

1. Inhibition of immune function: 30g/kg of the injection solution was injected intraperitoneally into mice once a day for 6 consecutive days. It had a significant inhibitory effect on spleen antibody-forming cells and could reduce the phagocytic rate and phagocytic index of peritoneal macrophages.

2. Anti-rejection test: The half-heart transplantation test in suckling mice showed that Acanthopanax acanthopanax has a significant anti-rejection effect.

3. Enhance immune function: Gavage of Acanthopanax polysaccharide to mice for 7 consecutive days can increase the macrophage phagocytic index. Mice were gavaged with total saponins from Acanthopanax acanthopanax for 3 consecutive days, and the serum antibodies were significantly higher than those in the control group.

Acanthopanax has a very good therapeutic effect on neurasthenia and insomnia. Many middle-aged and elderly people have sleep problems, and frequent insomnia leads to poor memory and other conditions. You can soak Acanthopanax in water and drink it every day, or you can soak it in wine and drink it. If the effect of using Acanthopanax senticosus alone is not obvious, you can use it in combination with several Chinese medicines as auxiliary treatment under the guidance of a doctor for better results.
