Geranium for facial paralysis

I believe many of you have heard of facial paralysis. There are many cases of facial paralysis in the news in winter. For example, last year it was popular to wear clothes that exposed the ankles, and as a result, some people suffered from facial paralysis. Facial paralysis causes great stress to the patient himself. So, can the Chinese herbal medicine geranium be used to treat facial paralysis? Everyone may not be very clear about this. Regarding this issue, let's take a closer look at the detailed introduction of the article.

Also known as old stork's beak, old crow's beak, tendons, old tendons, and old sheep tendons. This product comes from the dried above-ground part of the Geranium, geranium or wild geranium of the Geranium family. The former is commonly known as long-billed geranium, and the latter two are commonly known as short-billed geranium. The fruits are harvested when they are nearly ripe in summer and autumn, tied into bundles and dried. Perennial herb, 35 to 80 cm tall. The stem is prostrate or slightly tilted, with many branches. The leaves are opposite, with leaf stems 1.5 to 4 cm long, with flat, curled soft hairs, 3 to 5 deeply lobed, nearly pentagonal, slightly heart-shaped at the tip, the lobes are nearly angular, obtuse or pointed at the apex, with neat serrated edges, emerald green on the upper side with procumbent hairs, light green on the lower side, and covered with soft hairs along the petiole. Leaf flowers, about 1 cm in diameter, 2 on each pedicel, axillary, pedicel long and slender. Calyx 5, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, sparsely growing soft hairs, 5 awns on top, obovate, milky white or dark red.

Antiviral therapeutic effect: the decoction of wolfsbane has a significant inhibitory effect on the Asian influenza A virus infection Jingke 68-1 strain and the parainfluenza virus type I Sendai strain (based on chicken embryo, hemagglutination test). The leaves and stems are more effective against the former, while the roots are less effective. The tannins contained in them have little effect on its antiviral therapeutic effect. According to the selection experiment of chicken embryo on the inhibition of cold virus, geranium has a certain inhibitory effect.

It has the effect of treating diarrhea. The imported water-soluble extract of Burmese geranium has a certain effect in treating diarrhea in rabbits. When rabbits eat its decoction or dry extract on an empty stomach, it can inhibit the activity of the duodenum and colon and promote the reverse peristalsis of the cecum, thus producing the effect of treating diarrhea. However, if the dosage is too large, it can promote the peristalsis of the intestines and produce a laxative effect. The effect of anesthetic is different from that of atropine. In addition to tannins, the ingredients for treating diarrhea seem to contain substances that can make the intestinal mucosa, especially the large intestine mucosa, astringent. Coagulation effect: Oral administration of the water extract by rabbits can enhance blood coagulation, which may be related to the tannins it contains (converted into gallic acid in the intestine and then absorbed in the form of alkaline salts). The decoction of antitussive alcohol was administered orally at 11.6 g/kg, which had an antitussive effect on mice with ammonia mist-induced cough. The decoction of 7 and 20 g/kg administered orally had an antitussive effect on cats with electrical stimulation anesthesia to induce cough on the superior laryngeal nerve.
