What are the effects and functions of Digupi

I believe everyone is familiar with wolfberry. It is a very common Chinese medicinal material in our lives. It is very helpful for people's health, especially for women and the elderly and weak people. Drinking wolfberry water regularly or putting some wolfberry in food can play the role of replenishing qi, nourishing blood and strengthening the kidneys. In fact, wolfberry is a very good Chinese medicinal material. In addition to its fruit that can help people, its root bark is also very helpful to people. The root bark of wolfberry is called Di Gu Pi, which is often used in traditional Chinese medicine. So do you know what are the effects and functions of Di Gu Pi?

1. Effect on the cardiovascular system: Intravenous injection of the extract, tincture and decoction of Radix Rehmanniae to anesthetized dogs, cats and rabbits had a significant hypotensive effect, accompanied by a slow heart rate and accelerated breathing; oral administration to unanesthetized rats also had a significant hypotensive effect. Intravenous injection of 0.375g/kg of Radix Rehmanniae injection to anesthetized dogs can reduce their blood pressure to zero and cause death. Repeated injections of small doses did not show rapid tolerance. The methanol extract of Lycium bark also has obvious antihypertensive activity when injected intravenously into rats at 0.5g (raw drug)/kg. During the antihypertensive period of Di Gu Pi, the electrocardiogram showed a slow heart rate, prolonged PR interval, and reduced T wave. A moderate dose could cause partial or even complete block of atrioventricular conduction in the guinea pig's heart. In addition to the central nervous system involvement, the antihypertensive effect of Lycium bark may also be related to its effect of blocking sympathetic nerve endings and directly relaxing blood vessels. In addition, Lycium barbarum A and Lycium barbarum B have anti-adrenocorticoid and renin effects, which is also one of their antihypertensive mechanisms.

2. Hypoglycemic effect: When rabbits were gavaged with a decoction of Radix Rehmanniae, their blood sugar levels first increased for a short time, then decreased permanently, and did not recover after 4 to 8 hours. It has no significant antagonistic effect on hyperglycemia caused by injection of epinephrine. When the extract was injected subcutaneously into rabbits, blood sugar also decreased. Another extract of the root of bearded wolfberry can cause a significant and lasting decrease in blood sugar in rats and improve carbohydrate tolerance. Its blood sugar-lowering effect is due to the guanidine derivatives it contains.

3. Effect of lowering blood lipids: Intragastric administration of Rehmannia glutinosa extract can reduce the serum total cholesterol content of experimental rabbits, but has little effect on triglyceride content and no obvious effect on liver fat content. Betaine has an anti-fatty liver effect.

4. Antipyretic effect: Oral administration or injection of the water extract, ethanol extract and ether residue water extract of the Cortex Rehmanniae has a significant antipyretic effect on artificially fevered rabbits. Its ether extract and the aqueous extract of the residue after ethanol extraction had no effect. Its antipyretic effect is weaker than that of aminopyrine and is approximately equal to that of other antipyretics.

What are the effects and functions of Lycium bark? After reading the introduction above, I believe everyone understands that the root bark of wolfberry is no less effective than the fruit of wolfberry. Lycium barbarum is a treasure from top to bottom and can be of great help to people. With the development of life, more and more people have symptoms of three highs. Regularly taking water soaked with Lycium bark can solve this problem very well, so you can try it often.
