【Benefits of Drinking Xianhecao Soaked in Water】
1. Anti-cancer
This type of herb has excellent anti-cancer effects. According to research conducted by relevant personnel, when the extract of Xianhecao is injected into cancer cell culture and normal cell culture for 6 consecutive days at a concentration of 500μg, it can completely eliminate cancer cells while normal cells continue to proliferate without damage.
2. Hemostasis
If you often experience bleeding, you can use this type of herb for hemostasis, as it is very effective. Coarse Xianhecao extract can promote blood coagulation in animals. For example, when injected into the veins of rabbits, it significantly shortens the clotting time, increases platelets, promotes platelet formation, and increases blood calcium levels.
3. Blood sugar reduction
For patients with high blood sugar, the frequency of using this type of herb is relatively high, as it can effectively lower blood sugar and enhance cell resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in daily life.
In addition, Xianhecao extract can adjust heart rate in mice, rats, and rabbits, stimulate fatigued skeletal muscles, reduce the contraction amplitude and tension of isolated rabbit intestines, and inhibit the peristalsis of mouse intestines.
