【Effects of Peach Kernel】
1. Anti-blood stasis effect:
The decoction of this ingredient can increase the blood flow in isolated rabbit auricular veins, indicating a vasodilating effect. When injected into anesthetized dogs, it can increase the blood flow and reduce vascular resistance in the femoral artery, exerting a direct dilating effect on blood vessel walls. This ingredient also has the ability to inhibit blood coagulation and hemolysis. Intravenous administration of a 50mg/ml peach kernel extract can accelerate the microcirculation in the liver of anesthetized rats, and the effect is dose-dependent, suggesting an improvement in liver surface microcirculation.
2. Anti-inflammatory effect:
Two protein components in this ingredient have significant inhibitory effects on acute inflammation induced by xylene in mice when administered intravenously.
3. Anti-allergic effect:
The water extract of peach kernel can inhibit the production of skin allergy antibodies in mice serum and mouse spleen hemolytic cells. The ethanol extract of peach kernel can suppress the pigment leakage caused by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction induced by serum containing skin allergy antibodies in mice.
4. Other effects:
Amygdalin has antitussive effect. The fatty oil (almond oil) in peach kernel has a vermifugal effect, with an efficacy of 80.8% against tapeworms and 70% against roundworms.
【Treatment for Hypertension】
When there is a high blood coagulation state or hyperlipidemia, appropriate medication can be used to prevent platelet aggregation, improve blood coagulation, and lower blood lipids. However, dietary therapy is more important. The dietary treatment principle for coronary heart disease is to strengthen the body's resistance, eliminate pathogenic factors, clear phlegm and eliminate stasis, promote blood circulation, and nourish Qi and blood. It is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, consume meat, fish, eggs, and milk in moderation, avoid strong alcohol, coffee, and strong tea, and avoid consuming sugary and spicy foods.
