The effect of tangerine stem tea

Platycodon grandiflorum can protect our lungs. Platycodon grandiflorum tea can have the benefit of reducing phlegm, and Platycodon grandiflorum soaked in water can treat symptoms such as hoarseness. Drinking Platycodon stem soaked in water has anti-inflammatory effect. It can also reduce our blood sugar level and can relieve phlegm and cough. Therefore, drinking Platycodon stem soaked in water is very effective.

1. Expectorant and antitussive effects: Oral administration of 1g/kg of the decoction of this product to anesthetized dogs can significantly increase the excretion of respiratory mucus, and its compressive strength is comparable to that of ammonium chloride. It also has a significant expectorant effect on anesthetized cats. It has been reported that the expectorant effect of citrus saponin is stronger than that of Poygala senega L. and second only to that of Poygala senega L. The results of the phenol red method test on mice were weaker than those on Polygonum multiflorum. The saponins contained in Platycodon grandiflorum cause a certain degree of irritation to the pharyngeal mucosa and gastric mucosa when taken orally, which in turn causes the respiratory mucosal secretion to be more active, dilutes the sputum and promotes its excretion, making platycodon grandiflorum saponins have an antitussive effect. The median effective dose for antitussive effect after abdominal injection in guinea pigs is 6.4 mg/kg.

2. Effect of lowering blood lipids: Oral administration of 200 mg/kg of water or alcohol extract of Citrus grandis can lower blood glucose levels in rabbits. The blood lipid lowering curve of the water extract is similar to that of oral administration of 25-50 mg/kg tolbutamide. Continuous oral administration of 500 mg/kg of water and alcohol extracts for 4 days also had a lipid-lowering effect on experimental alloxan diabetic rabbits. The reduced glycogen was also restored after medication, and the increase in food-induced blood sugar levels was inhibited. The effect of alcohol extracts was stronger than that of water extracts.

3. Effects on the respiratory system: When rats were injected intravenously with spoofed citrus saponins, transient decreases in blood pressure, slowed heart rate and respiratory depression were observed. For paraffin-sectioned guinea pig auricles, higher concentrations showed a negative myotonic effect. Introducing 200-800 mg/kg crude citrus stem saponins into the aorta of anesthetized dogs can reduce the friction resistance of the coronary and limb blood vessels and increase blood volume. Its compressive strength is comparable to that of papaverine. When 4 mg/kg is injected intravenously, it can also increase coronary and hind leg blood volume, accompanied by transient hypotension. This telangiectasia is thought to be a direct effect on peripheral blood vessels.

4. Inhibit gastric acid metabolism and anti-ulcer effect: Abuse of citrus stem saponins at a dosage less than 1/5 of the median lethal dose has the effect of inhibiting gastric acid metabolism and anti-peptic ulcer in rats. At a dosage of 100 mg/kg, it can almost completely inhibit the gastric acid metabolism caused by cardiac ligation in rats. Introducing 25 mg/kg of platycodon saponins into the duodenum of rats can prevent the occurrence of peptic ulcers, and its efficacy is comparable to that of subcutaneous injection of 10 mg/kg atropine. However, the preventive effect of 100 mg/kg oral administration on stress ulcers is twice as weak as that of subcutaneous injection of atropine 10 Mg/kg. In the rat acetic acid-induced ulcer model, platycodon saponins can significantly reduce the ulcer index, and the efficacy of the 25 mg/kg group per day is higher than that of the 200 mg/kg group of licorice extract FM100 per day.

Conclusion: Based on the above introduction, do you have a better understanding of Platycodon grandiflorum? It can naturally nourish health, clear away heat and promote lung function, relieve sore throat, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, relieve cough and moisten the lungs, disperse wind, clear heat and detoxify, promote lung function and relieve cough, so eating Platycodon grandiflorum is good for the human body.
