What are the effects of Chinese medicine Shouwu

Traditional Chinese medicine has always been a wonderful way to maintain health and treat diseases in China. Compared with pharmaceutical drugs, traditional Chinese medicine can cure the root cause of the disease and has fewer side effects. Among the numerous traditional Chinese medicine formulas, various precious medicinal materials play a great role in helping to treat diseases while also playing a role in health care. Among them, Polygonum multiflorum is a very famous one. Polygonum multiflorum is a particularly important medicinal material both in ancient times and in modern times. So what are the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonum multiflorum?

Anti-aging effect Many scholars believe that a large amount of lipid peroxidation products accumulate in the bodies of aging animals, accompanied by a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity. The experimental results show that Polygonum multiflorum can significantly reduce the malondialdehyde content in the brain and liver tissues of elderly mice, increase the content of monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain, enhance the activity of SOD, and significantly inhibit the activity of monoamine oxidase-B in the brain and liver tissues of elderly mice, thereby eliminating the damage of free radicals to the body and delaying the occurrence of aging and diseases. The free radical theory holds that the production and deposition of lipid peroxides can cause a series of aging symptoms, so the content of lipid peroxides is one of the main indicators for evaluating aging. Polygonum multiflorum extract has a very obvious inhibitory effect on the production of lipid peroxides in mouse skin, indicating that Polygonum multiflorum has the effect of delaying skin aging and can be used as a good additive for anti-aging skin cosmetics. In addition, Polygonum multiflorum can significantly improve the DNA damage repair ability of peripheral lymphocytes in elderly rats, inhibit the activity of monoamine oxidase-B in the brain, affect the content of central neurotransmitters in the organism, thereby regulating central nervous activity and delaying brain aging.

Effect on the immune system: Polygonum multiflorum can antagonize the thymus atrophy and degeneration of mice caused by the immunosuppressants hydrocortisone or prednisolone, increase the weight of the thymus, adrenal glands, spleen and abdominal lymph nodes, increase the total white blood cell count, promote the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages, and reduce the content of circulating immune complexes in mice. Immunology believes that the decline of immune function is closely related to the aging of the body. The thymus is the central organ of the immune system and can effectively maintain the body's immune function. Polygonum multiflorum can delay thymus degeneration that occurs with aging, which may be an important mechanism for delaying aging and improving the body's immunity.

The Chinese medicine Shouwu has very good effects. It can not only be used as an important medicinal ingredient in medicinal formulas, but also as an ingredient in medicinal diets. The efficacy of Polygonum multiflorum is mainly reflected in its anti-aging health care and its effect on improving the immune system. Although Polygonum multiflorum is a precious medicinal material, it is also poisonous. People should not use it indiscriminately, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the body.
