What are the medicinal properties of Acanthopanax?

Speaking of Acanthopanax, I believe many people don’t know what it is. We rarely see this kind of thing in our daily life, but just because we don’t know about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. On the contrary, for a few people, this kind of Acanthopanax has a good effect in treating diseases. Our Chinese theory of traditional Chinese medicine relies on a variety of Chinese medicinal materials, and fully understanding these can help us cure diseases.

[Pharmacology]

(1) Acanthopanax senticosus fluid extract and acanthopanax glycosides can enhance the body's resistance to harmful stimuli, stimulate the endocrine system of the sex glands and adrenal glands, accelerate the formation of glycogen in the body, and protect against radiation damage. They can also regulate pathological processes, adjust blood sugar and blood pressure, and normalize them (this disease resistance and regulatory effect of Acanthopanax senticosus is stronger than that of ginseng, and acanthopanax glycosides are stronger than ginsenosides).
