What are the medicinal effects of Lophatherum gracile

Now that people's living standards have improved, basically every meal is filled with meat and fish. This has, to some extent, led to an increasing number of people suffering from the three highs. Some doctors will recommend that people suffering from the three highs drink water soaked with Lophatherum gracile, which can effectively improve their condition. Apart from this, what other medicinal value does Lophatherum gracile have? The following is a brief introduction to this issue.

1. Cardiotonic effect

The canadensis glycoside contained in the root of Lophatherum gracile can increase the contraction amplitude of the isolated and in situ cat hearts, slow down the heart rate, and then cause arrhythmia, and finally the heart stops beating in the contraction phase. The nature and speed of its action are similar to those of strophanthus glycoside. Central nervous system depressants such as sodium pentobarbital can weaken its cardiotonic effect. Experiments on in situ cat hearts using extracts from the roots of Lophatherum vulgare also showed a cardiac glycoside-like effect.

2. Diuretic effect

The water extract of Apocynum venetum leaves and its burnt residue have a diuretic effect. After rats orally took the water extract of Apocynum venetum leaves, the total urine volume in 6-24 hours and 24 hours increased by 50.60% and 32.28% respectively. At the same time, the excretion of urinary sodium and urinary potassium also increased accordingly, but there was no significant difference in the concentration of urinary potassium and urinary sodium between the treatment group and the control group.

3. Anti-aging effect

The extract of ramie leaves can delay aging or prolong lifespan of fruit flies, silkworms and mice. The extract of Apocynum venetum leaves can reduce the lipofuscin content in the mouse viscera to varying degrees, and can generally increase the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver and heart of mice of different age groups. Luobu Ma tea can increase the SOD value and HDL-e in red blood cells, which may be beneficial for preventing arteriosclerosis.

Nowadays, people spend a lot of time on mobile phones and computers every day. The radiation from these things is very high. Lobu hemp has a certain anti-radiation effect. If you can eat a small amount of Lobu hemp every day, you can effectively reduce the damage caused by radiation to the human body. However, please note that people with poor spleen are not suitable for contact with Lobu hemp.
