The efficacy and function of spring flowers

Formosan magnolia, also known as gardenia, generally refers to the white magnolia of its origin, and also refers to magnolia jasminoides and purple magnolia. It is a dead leaf shrub or bush plant of the genus Formosan magnolia in the family Magnolia family. It is native to the central and western regions of my country and is widely cultivated throughout the country. With the development of modern science and technology, academic research has discovered that gardenia has many health benefits. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the functions and effects of gardenia.

Its flower buds and roots are urgently needed Chinese herbal medicines in countries around the world. It has a calm effect, a spicy taste, can dispel cold, open the lung meridian, regulate the orifices, relieve pain, has astringent properties, is bactericidal, and has the effects of contracting the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa and lowering blood pressure.

Local astringent effect

The volatile oil of gardenia buds has the effect of contracting the blood vessels of the mucous membrane.

Reduce blood pressure effect

The water and alcohol extracts of the dried powder of the buds of the Japanese lily have the effect of lowering blood pressure when injected intravenously, abdominally or intramuscularly on anesthetic animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, etc.). Intramuscular injection also has a blood pressure-lowering effect on non-anesthetized dogs, reducing blood pressure by more than 40% at 1 gram/kg (calculated according to the raw drug). It also has a blood pressure-lowering effect on experimental renal hypertensive rats. It has no significant effect on dogs with renal hypertension, but has a significant blood pressure-lowering effect on the elderly with "primary" hypertension. The blood pressure lowering component is dissolved in a portion of medical ether in the oil removal solution transfer station. In terms of the principle of lowering blood pressure, it seems to have little to do with the central nervous system, but is caused by directly inhibiting the heart, especially softening blood vessels and nerve fiber blockage. The blood pressure lowering effect is not significant when taken orally, probably because the ingredients are not easily digested and absorbed. The root contains magnolol, so it has the effect of lowering blood pressure.

For striated muscle

The bioalkaloid crystals in the buds of Formosan Spring have a curare-like effect when collected from frog abdominal muscle specimens; while the water decoction, on the contrary, has an acetylcholine-like effect. Comparative experiments were conducted on the specimens collected using different acquisition methods, and it was confirmed that the buds of the spring flower have the same characteristics as those produced in Japan, but the former has stronger effects.
