Birth, aging, illness and death are the life processes that everyone has to go through, no one is an exception. Some diseases can be cured easily, but some are not so easy. There are thousands of kinds of medicines that can be used to treat diseases. Each medicine has its own unique medicinal properties, and different medicines are used to treat different diseases. It is also possible that one medicine can treat multiple diseases. As for what kind of disease to treat with what kind of medicine, only doctors know clearly.

Speaking of radish seeds, many people are definitely not aware of this. This is a special medical term, but it is actually a common species that everyone knows. It has another name, radish seeds, which is the seeds of white radish. Now everyone should know what this is.

1. Effect of anti-pathogenic microorganisms:

Radish seed water extract has significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli, and the water extract also has different degrees of inhibitory effect on Trichophyton concentricum, Trichophyton schrenckii, Microsporum audouinii, Microsporum ferrugineum, Microsporum woolly and Nocardia asteroides. Radish extract at a concentration of 1 mg/ml has significant inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria in vitro, and the MICs for Staphylococcus, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli are 40, 125, 125 and 200 mcg/ml respectively.

2. Detoxification effect:

Radish extract has a significant detoxification effect when mixed with bacterial exotoxins in vitro. When diluted to 1:200, it can neutralize 5 lethal doses of tetanus toxin, 1:500 can neutralize 4 lethal doses of diphtheria toxin, and when diluted to 1:1600, it can still reduce the skin necrosis effect of diphtheria toxin.

3. Antihypertensive effect:

Radish seed water extract has a significant antihypertensive effect. For anesthetized rabbits, cats and dogs, intravenous injection can cause the blood pressure of animals to drop. The results of the study on the effect of radish seeds on acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in rabbits showed that intravenous injection of radish seed injection (1ml is equivalent to 1g of raw drug) at a dose of 0.3-1.2ml/kg can significantly reduce experimental pulmonary hypertension and significantly reduce systemic arterial pressure. The intensity of radish seeds in reducing pulmonary and systemic arterial pressure is basically the same as that of phentolamine. Increasing the dose of radish seeds failed to increase the intensity of reducing pulmonary and systemic arterial pressure, but only prolonged the blood pressure reduction time, which was significantly longer than phentolamine. Continuous micro-intravenous injection can inhibit pulmonary hypertension caused by acute hypoxia and reduce the side effects of reducing systemic arterial pressure.

Don't underestimate the usefulness of radish seeds. As mentioned above, radish seeds have a lot of medicinal value. Not to mention radish seeds, even the white radish that we often eat is of immeasurable benefit to the body. White radish is often called native ginseng. Just from this sentence, we can know that the role of white radish is not small. So we can eat it often.
