How to dry Cynomorium songaricum

Most people are not very familiar with Cynomorium songaricum. It is a plant that is often used to nourish the kidneys. It matures in July and August every year. It is best to let this plant dry naturally after picking, and dry it in a cool place. However, if it is cut into slices, it can be dried under the sun, and the final product will be black. This article introduces the properties and functions of Cynomorium songaricum. If you don’t know much about it, you can take a good look at it.

It is best to dry it in the shade, or dry it in the sun after slicing, so that the color will be relatively better. If the whole root is dried in the sun, it will take a long time to be completely dried, so it is easy to be oxidized for a long time, so it is particularly easy to be sunburned to a black color.

The role of Cynomorium songaricum:

1. Eliminate free radicals

Cynomorium songaricum can enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mouse serum and mitochondria, and can effectively eliminate free radicals in mice. In addition, Cynomorium songaricum can increase the activity of lipid peroxidase, thus having anti-aging effects. In addition, it also has the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis.

2. Impact on immune function

Cynomorium songaricum has the effect of enhancing animal immune function. Experiments have shown that it has a significant promoting effect on the humoral immunity of yang-deficient and normal mice, and its mechanism may be related to increasing the spleen and lymph nodes.

Cynomorium songaricum can increase the reduced neutrophil count in yang-deficiency mice, thereby enhancing the body's defense function.

3. Tolerance to hypoxia and anti-stress

The total sugars, total glycosides and total steroids of Cynomorium songaricum can prolong the survival time of mice resistant to hypoxia at normal pressure and hypoxia induced by isoproterenol sulfate, prolong the survival time of mice injected with air intravenously, and increase the duration and number of mouth opening of decapitated mice.
