What is the medicinal value of Fengdou

Do you know about Maple Dou? It is understood that Maple Dou is a processed product of Dendrobium, and the best quality Dendrobium is called Lao Yanshan Tiepi Maple Dou. It tastes light and slightly sweet, leaves no residue when chewed, and can stimulate the production of body fluids without being cold. It has the functions of promoting the production of body fluids, benefiting the stomach, nourishing yin, clearing away heat and relieving restlessness. Dendrobium officinale grows in the shade of cliffs, and ancient people often hung ropes on the cliffs or shot arrows to collect it. Dendrobium officinale is blessed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. It is an excellent health product. So what is the medicinal value of Fengdou? Let me learn about it together.

Nourishes the spleen and stomach

1. The spleen and stomach have the important role of digesting food and taking in the essence of water and grain to nourish the whole body. They are the source of nutrition. Therefore, whether nutrition is adequate or not mainly depends on the function of the spleen and stomach.

2. Dendrobium is a medicine that benefits the stomach and produces body fluid. It is recorded in "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and "Bencao Zaixin". People call it "gastrointestinal medicine". It is a commonly used medicine for treating epigastric pain and upper abdominal distension.

3. Modern experiments have confirmed that Dendrobium has a good inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori, a common pathogen in spleen and stomach diseases, and is helpful in treating Helicobacter pylori-positive diseases such as atrophic gastritis, superficial gastritis, and duodenal ulcers. At the same time, oral administration of Dendrobium decoction can promote the secretion of gastric juice, enhance the stomach's emptying capacity, and help digestion.

Protect liver and promote bile secretion

Dendrobium candidum[1] has a good choleretic effect. Medical experts of all dynasties have believed that Dendrobium candidum has the effect of nourishing liver yin and is an important medicine for treating various liver and gallbladder diseases. It can be used to treat hepatitis, cholecystitis, gallstones and other liver and gallbladder diseases.

Clearing away heat

1. Deficiency heat, manifested by a group of symptoms such as physical fatigue, dizziness, flushed face, palpitations, cough with little sputum, insomnia and forgetfulness, yellow and red urine, red tongue, and thin pulse.

2. "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Explanation of Materia Medica" respectively record "clears the stomach and eliminates empty heat" and "eliminates empty heat in the stomach and hemorrhoids". Compared with ordinary heat-clearing drugs, the false heat cleared by Dendrobium is completely a false heat, which is characterized by yin deficiency and excessive heat. Pharmacological experiments have shown that Dendrobium can significantly reduce the peak fever and temperature response index of heat-prone rabbits and shorten the heat-prone time.

Improve circulation

Dendrobium can nourish yin, moisten the meridians, dilate blood vessels, and thus promote blood circulation. Experimental results show that Dendrobium can significantly improve blood stasis symptoms, lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and can treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Tumor suppression

1. Dendrobium has a killing effect on certain cells of human lung cancer, ovarian cancer and promyelocytic leukemia, and has strong anti-tumor activity.

2. Clinical time shows that Dendrobium can be used as an adjuvant treatment for malignant tumors, which can improve the symptoms of tumor patients, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, enhance immunity, improve the quality of life, and prolong survival time.

The above is an introduction to the medicinal value of Fengdou, I believe everyone understands it. However, when choosing Dendrobium, you should check its color, observe its shape, smell its flavor, and chew its gelatin. The ones with iron skin color are the best quality; however, due to the limited production of Dendrobium officinale and its high price, a large number of Dendrobium officinale sold on the market are disguised as Huoshan Dendrobium. Especially on Taobao. Everyone must pay attention when purchasing.
