Monk fruit is a precious plant of the Cucurbitaceae family unique to my country, and is known as a good medicine and fruit. The fruit is rich in glucose, fructose and multiple vitamins, etc. It has a wide range of uses and is sold well in domestic and foreign markets, enjoying a high reputation in the international market.

【Function and indications】

It can clear away heat and moisten the lungs, relieve cough, relieve sore throat, and smooth the intestines and relieve constipation. It is used for dry cough due to lung fire, sore throat and loss of voice, and dry intestines and constipation.

【Pharmacological action】

1. Antitussive effect: D-mannitol has an antitussive effect. It can also be used for cerebral edema, can increase blood osmotic pressure, reduce intracranial pressure, and has a stronger dehydration effect than urea and lasts longer. It can also be used for edema caused by large-area burns and scalds, prevent and treat acute renal failure, reduce intraocular pressure, treat acute glaucoma, and replace sugar as a sweet food or flavoring agent for diabetic patients.

2. Effect on the intestine: Luo Han Guo fitness tea (containing 77.5% Luo Han Guo, 15% tea leaves, and 7.5% Luo Han Guo preparation) has no significant effect on the spontaneous activity of isolated small intestine of mice, but can enhance the spontaneous activity of isolated small intestine of rabbits and dogs. It has an antagonistic effect on the tonic contraction of the intestine caused by acetylcholine or barium chloride, relaxing the intestine and relieving spasm; it also has an antagonistic effect on the relaxation of the intestine caused by adrenaline, restoring the spontaneous activity of the intestine. This shows that Luo Han Guo fitness tea has a two-way regulatory effect on the motor function of the intestine.

Luo Han Guo fitness tea was given to anesthetized dogs by gavage, and there was no significant effect on blood pressure and electrocardiogram.

I originally thought that monk fruit was just a seasoning used to make tea to enhance the flavor, but I didn't expect that the medicinal value of monk fruit is so high. Whether you are sick or not, drinking some monk fruit tea regularly can cure diseases and strengthen your body. People should develop the habit of understanding medicinal materials, which is beneficial to everyone.
