What are the effects of Xanthium sibiricum soaking in water?

As the cold winter is getting closer, many northern regions have begun to snow heavily. At this time, people's immunity tends to drop rapidly, leading to colds and headaches. Therefore, how to drive away the cold and warm the body in the cold winter is a focus of many people's concern. In fact, soaking Xanthium sibiricum in water has a very good effect on our smooth winter. So what is the effect of soaking in water?

① Lowering blood sugar: 1 mg/kg of white crystalline glycoside (C31H-48O24S2) can lower the blood sugar level of normal rabbits.

② Effect on the respiratory system: 0.3 ml/kg of 100% decoction of Xanthium sibiricum has an antitussive effect on mice; 15 ml/kg has no expectorant effect on rabbits. Tincture injection has a respiratory stimulant effect on frogs, while large doses have an inhibitory effect.

③ Effects on cardiovascular system: Intravenous injection of Xanthium sibiricum has a transient antihypertensive effect on rabbits and dogs.

④ Anti-inflammatory effect: The diterpene hydroxy acid atractylodesin contained in this product has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects through the rat carrageenan edema test. The LD50 for intraperitoneal injection, subcutaneous injection and oral administration are 2.9, 5.3 and 350 mg/kg, respectively.

⑤ The decoction of Xanthium sibiricum has a certain antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus in vitro, and its acetone or ethanol extract also has an antibacterial effect on Trichophyton rubrum in vitro.

④ Treatment of malaria

Wash and mash 3 liang of fresh Xanthium sibiricum, add water and boil for 15 minutes, remove the residue, beat 2 to 3 eggs into the liquid and cook. Take the eggs and the medicine at once before the onset of malaria. If the condition does not improve after one administration, you can take it again according to the above method.

⑤ Treatment of mumps

Boil Xanthium sibiricum in water and take it 4 times a day for 3 days. Newborn baby: 1 qian per day, 1.5 qian per year for 1 to 2 years old, increase 1.5 qian for every 2 years of age thereafter, and 1 to 1.5 liang per day for those over 14 years old. Generally, for mild cases, it only takes 2 to 3 days to take the medicine. For severe cases, you can use mashed Xanthium sibiricum leaves to apply to the affected area. Patients with complications should be treated with other therapies.

⑥ Treatment of lower limb ulcers

Fry Xanthium sibiricum until it turns yellow and grind into powder 2-4 liang, add 4-6 liang of pork fat, and mash together into a paste. When using, first wash the wound with lime water (1 pound of lime, add 8 pounds of boiling water, let it stand for 1 hour to absorb the supernatant), wipe it dry, apply ointment, and bandage it. Change the dressing every 5 to 7 days in winter and every 3 days in summer.

From the above paragraphs, we should be able to fully see that drinking Xanthium sibiricum soaked in water can indeed lay a solid foundation for our physical health in winter. I would also like to emphasize that winter is the peak season for colds, especially for middle-aged and elderly people and infants and young children. Therefore, I hope we can supervise the elderly and children at home to adjust their diet structure and exercise outdoors more when they are free, so as to better stay away from colds.
