For the treatment of damp sores, ulcers that do not converge, sores and swellings, anal prolapse, and prolapse of the uterus, it can be applied externally or fumigated in a decoction, either alone or together with powdered alum.

Detoxification

The proteins of glandular cells are coagulated causing secretion inhibition, producing dryness of mucous membranes and precipitation of proteins in nerve endings, which can present a weak local anesthetic phenomenon. Tannic acid can form insoluble compounds with several metals, alkaloids or glycosides, and is therefore used as an antidote.

Astringent

In the past, ellagic acid was used to treat burns (crusting to protect the wound, avoid external stimulation, reduce pain and loss of body fluids), but it is no longer used in modern surgery because of its major drawbacks (crusting, covering infection, preventing the growth of normal tissues, especially large absorption can harm the liver, etc.). Tannic acid has no effect on normal small intestine movement, and can stop diarrhea because of its astringent effect and reduce intestinal inflammation.

Antibacterial

In vitro test of pentaphyllum has obvious antibacterial or bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, as well as typhoid, paratyphoid, dysentery, anthrax, diphtheria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. In addition to tannic acid, pentaphyllum also contains other antibacterial active ingredients, mainly in the skin, the decoction of pentaphyllum heart has no antibacterial effect.

Other

The decoction of Fructus Schisandrae has inhibitory effect on influenza A PR8 strain inoculated in chicken embryos, and this effect may be related to the ellagic acid contained in it. In vitro spermicidal test showed that 10% pentosperm glycerol solution (1:1) has spermicidal effect. Ellagic acid can form insoluble compounds with several metals, alkaloids or glycosides, and thus can be used as an antidote.

Poisonous side effects of pentaphyllum

Tannic acid preparations should not be used if there are irritants such as bacteria and poisons in the gastrointestinal tract. Tannic acid can more or less interfere with the absorption of food (precipitation of protein), but in the alkaline environment of the small intestine, protein can be released again, so a small amount of tannic acid in food or drink is harmless, but a large amount, such as excessive tea, can slow down the absorption of food. Larger amounts can even cause irritation, corrosion, especially on an empty stomach can lead to pain, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation.
