The efficacy and function of Artemisia

Artemisia annua is a dry and flowering Artemisia frigida of the Asteraceae family. It is warm in nature and spicy in taste. It has the effects of moistening the lungs and removing dampness, relieving cough and pain, clearing away heat and detoxifying, facilitating urination, and reducing inflammation and removing insects. It has therapeutic effects on rheumatism, heat, cold and dampness, cough, urinary problems, cholecystitis, parasites, pinworms, typhoid fever and other diseases. Let’s discuss the actual interpretation of the effects and functions of Artemisia annua.

Artemisia annua is also good for bile secretion and jaundice, lowers blood lipids, resists aortic atherosclerosis, fights tumors, reduces blood cell transaminase, and lowers cholesterol. Promote bile metabolism and metabolic effects. In addition, Artemisia annua also has inhibitory effects on Shigella dysenteriae, Pneumococcus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and other bacteria.

Clears away cold and dampness, relieves jaundice

(1) Artemisia has significant bile-promoting and jaundice-relieving effects.

Artemisia white can continuously increase the total bile flow in patients with cholelithiasis, reduce the cholesterol component in bile, and prevent the formation of cholesterol stones.

No matter for normal experimental animals or for rats with liver damage induced by CCl4, it has the effect of promoting bile secretion and metabolism.

(2) It can reduce the level of blood transaminase and alleviate the degree of liver swelling, ballooning, fatty degeneration and necrosis.

Ingredients such as Artemisia capillaris chromone, 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin, and Artemisia capillaris flavonoids all have liver-protecting effects.

Liver protection: induce liver enzymes, enhance the liver's detoxification function, maintain the details of liver cytoplasm and promote liver regeneration.

(3) It has a significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus outside the body.

It has a certain inhibitory effect on Shigella dysenteriae, hemolytic streptococcal infection, Pneumococcus, diphtheria, bovine and human tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, pathogenic floccules, and skin fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus versicolor. The antibacterial specific components of Artemisia capillaris are mainly artemisia arginine ketone, p-hydroxyacetophenone and other volatile oil components.

(4) Lowering blood lipids and preventing aortic atherosclerosis. Artemisia capillaris can reduce blood cell cholesterol and β-protein in animals with hyperlipidemia, sharply reduce the cholesterol content in the pulmonary artery wall, and alleviate atherosclerotic plaque degeneration in the aortic wall.
