What are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine Shouwu

Polygonum multiflorum is favored by many people due to its unique medicinal value. Polygonum multiflorum has particularly great effects. It can not only replenish blood and promote blood circulation, but also resist aging. The effects of Chinese medicine Polygonum multiflorum are far more than these. It can also promote adrenal cortex function, promote blood circulation, lower blood lipids, protect the liver, and also have the anti-aging and oxidation mentioned above. Shouwu is a traditional Chinese medicinal material with very obvious medicinal effects. Now many shampoos will use Shouwu, which can make hair shiny and regenerate. The effects of traditional Chinese medicine Shouwu are mainly listed below:

1. Promote adrenal cortex function:

Polygonum multiflorum can significantly increase the weight of the adrenal glands in mice and antagonize the inhibitory atrophy of the adrenal cortex in mice caused by cortisone.

2 Raw Blood:

Polygonum multiflorum can significantly promote hematopoietic function. Polygonum multiflorum extract can significantly increase the number of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow of mice, and the number of bone marrow granulocyte-monolineage progenitor cells and erythroid progenitor cells is significantly increased. The number of peripheral blood reticulocytes increased significantly. The fact that Polygonum multiflorum promotes hematopoietic function is related to the combined effects of anthraquinone glycosides, rich lecithin and a large amount of organic iron.

3. Lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis

Shouwu and Shouwu Yanshoudan can significantly inhibit the formation of experimental hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. Polygonum multiflorum powder can reduce the total cholesterol in rats' blood by 42%, triglycerides by 89%, and β-lipoprotein by 54%. It can also significantly reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the aorta and significantly increase the HDL-C content in serum.

4. Vascular dilation and anti-myocardial ischemia

Polygonum multiflorum can increase coronary blood flow, slow down heart rate, and has a certain protective effect on experimental acute myocardial ischemia, significantly reducing elevated T waves. It has an excitatory effect on isolated frog hearts, and its cardiotonic effect on fatigued hearts is more significant. Polygonum multiflorum-emodin and methyl-emodin have strong vasorelaxant activity.

The effects of Chinese medicine-prepared Polygonum multiflorum are mainly the ones mentioned above. Eating Polygonum multiflorum is very different from other Chinese medicinal materials. It requires a lot of attention. For example, it is not suitable to take it at the same time as some animals' blood when eating Polygonum multiflorum, because Polygonum multiflorum itself has the effect of blood tonic. If mixed with the blood of other animals, it will lose the blood-tonifying effect of Polygonum multiflorum itself. Shouwu should be placed in a ventilated and dry place to prevent moisture. If any adverse reaction occurs after taking Shouwu, you should stop taking it.
