So what are the effects of soaking Polygonum multiflorum in water? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Immunomodulatory effects

Chinese medicine believes that deficiency of vital energy is the basic factor leading to aging and is also the inherent cause of the peak of geriatric diseases. White Shouwu is good at replenishing the body's essence and blood. Sufficient blood means strong positive energy, which can enhance disease resistance and delay the onset of aging. Experiments have shown that the water-soluble part of White Shouwu and its total glycosides have the function of protecting the integrity of the immune organ structure, regulating and enhancing humoral immunity and cellular immunity. White lecithin can increase the ratio and absolute number of AEAE (+) lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.

Secondly, the vitamins A, F, G, B, phospholipids, trace selenium, ketones and their hydroxyl compounds contained in White Shouwu are all effective antioxidants. They can reduce the content of lipid peroxides in serum, liver, brain, heart and lung tissues, protect the body from the invasion of free radicals, and prevent the formation of arterial atherosclerotic plaques. They are of great significance. Cynanchum multiflorum and its water-soluble parts can obviously reduce the formation of B-like spots, which are of great significance. White Snakehead Multiflori and its soluble parts can significantly reduce MAO-B activity, which is of certain significance in regulating the monoamine system and reducing chemical damage to the brain.

Anti-tumor effect

Tumor is a serious disease that affects human health and longevity.

Elderly people are more susceptible to cancer due to their weakened immune system. Total glycosides of Cynanchum multiflorum have obvious anti-cancer effects on EAC, S180, H22, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (CNF2), liver cancer (H7402) and other cancer strains, among which H7402 is the most sensitive. It has obvious inhibitory effects on transplanted tumors, EAC, LEWIS lung cancer and S180 sarcoma, with tumor inhibition rates of 42%, 38%, and 69.9% respectively. It can also prolong the survival time of animals and enhance the immune function of tumor-bearing animals.

In research and experiments, scholars and experts have also found that Polygonum multiflorum can significantly enhance the anti-cancer effect of chemotherapy drugs and reduce their side effects, especially blood circulation.

Promoting hair growth

Chinese medicine believes that hair is the residue of blood and the external manifestation of kidney. The growth and loss, moisture and dryness of hair are closely related to blood, qi and kidney essence. White Shouwu is not only a commonly used medicine for nourishing blood and improving essence, but also a precious product for health preservation and anti-aging, so it has the effect of promoting hair growth.

Experiments have shown that topical application of total phospholipids from Polygonum multiflorum can increase the average diameter of rabbit ear hair and pores, shift the distribution curve to the right, reduce the distance between groups, and accelerate the growth rate of hair fibers. When experts were separating the monomers of the effective ingredients of Cynanchum multiflorum, they discovered a new substance and named it Cynanchum multiflorum dibenzophenone. Preliminary analysis shows that benzophenone in Polygonum multiflorum may be the essence of its hair-blackening function, and its application value in other aspects needs further study.

Modern scientific research results have provided a theoretical basis and a large amount of experimental data for the application of this traditional precious treasure, Polygonum multiflorum, in the fields of medicine, beauty, food, etc.

Protective effect

Total glycosides of Cynanchum multiflorum have a significant protective effect on the liver of hemolytic anemia caused by acetophenone, and can restore the enzyme activity of the damaged animal liver to varying degrees, and some can even restore it to normal levels.

Total glycosides can improve the body's hypoxia and enhance the body's vitality by strengthening the metabolic function of liver cells. Total glycosides can also inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions induced by ethanol or caused by acetophenone, thereby playing a good protective role on the damaged liver. The alcohol-resolving and liver-protecting effects of White Snakehead Multiflori are derived from this.
