What are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine epimedium

Epimedium is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine with high medicinal value. It can play a good role in treating insomnia and neurasthenia. It also has certain effects on the prevention and treatment of chronic bronchitis. Epimedium is good in promoting endocrine regulation and has a good positive effect on immune function. The cardiovascular system also has certain therapeutic effects.

1. Treatment of neurasthenia:

One is to use 3% epimedium decoction for penetration, once a day, 10 to 20 times as a course of treatment. A few patients also took sedatives. The longer the treatment course, the better the effect; the earlier the symptoms begin to improve after treatment, the better the effect.

2. Treatment of chronic tracheitis:

When treated with single-ingredient Yinyanghuo Pills, the efficacy is poorer in older patients, but there is no obvious relationship between the duration of the disease and the efficacy; the expectorant and antitussive effects are better, but the antiasthmatic effects are poor; the short-term control and apparent efficacy of patients who undergo two courses of treatment are significantly improved compared to those who undergo one course of treatment.

3. Effects on endocrine

The main ingredient of Epimedium is Epimedium, which can significantly promote the development of epididymis and seminal vesicles in young mice. Epimedium has an androgen-like effect.

4. Impact on immune system function

The number of T cells, lymphocyte transformation rate, antibodies, antigens and phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system are low in patients with kidney deficiency, but they can be improved through treatment with kidney-tonifying drugs such as Epimedium.
