What are the medicinal values ​​of Alpinia oxyphylla

As the name suggests, Alpinia oxyphylla is a medicinal material that can directly act on the brain nerves. This medicinal material has a long history and has been used since the Han Dynasty. Now, as people have re-emphasized traditional Chinese medicine, it is appearing more and more frequently. What are the medicinal values ​​of this medicinal material? Let’s take a look at the relevant introduction below.

1. Effects on the heart

The methanol extract of Alpinia oxyphylla has the activity of enhancing the contractility of the left atrium of guinea pigs, and its minimum effective dose is 10-6g/ml. The reporter believes that the cardiotonic effect of phenoxyethanol is partly due to its inhibition of the sodium-potassium pump in the myocardium.

2. Effects on blood vessels

The methanol extract of the fruit of the Chinese ginseng has an antagonistic effect on the activity of calcium in the rabbit's aorta. Its active ingredient is ginseng alcohol. At a dose of 3×10-5mol, ginseng alcohol has a significant inhibitory effect on the contraction of the aorta caused by potassium chloride, but has no effect on the contraction caused by norepinephrine.

Effects on metabolism

Reports indicate that the compound preparation of Alpinia oxyphylla kernel, "Alpinia oxyphylla syrup", can improve energy metabolism and promote the synthesis of CA substances and cAMP. Animal experiments have shown that this preparation can increase the levels of NE, DA, cAMP in the mouse brain and plasma cAMP, and has the function of increasing memory and enhancing immunity.

4. Inhibit colon contraction

The water extract and ethanol extract of Alpinia oxyphylla have an inhibitory effect on the ileal contraction of guinea pigs induced by histamine and barium chloride; the water extract has moderate activity in inhibiting the growth of sarcoma cells and no toxicity was observed.

From the above introduction, we can see that the harm caused by Alpinia oxyphylla to the body is relatively small, and it brings more benefits. It is very effective in improving learning disabilities. If there are people in your family who are studying, you can let them take some Alpinia oxyphylla appropriately, but you have to persist for a long period of time to see the effect.
