【Medicinal Analysis】
Mulberry fruit is used as medicine. It has a pungent and slightly bitter taste, warm in nature, and belongs to the liver and kidney meridians. It has the functions of dispelling wind and resolving phlegm, promoting Qi circulation, and relieving pain. It can be used to treat cough, asthma, heatstroke, stomach pain, diseases caused by qi stagnation, and women's leukorrhea.
Middle-aged and elderly people have weak organ functions and are prone to external pathogenic factors. Liver qi stagnation can even cause hearing loss. Mulberry fruit wine can regulate Qi and dispel stagnation, expelling pathogenic factors downwards, thus improving hearing and vision. Therefore, the "Simple Health Formula" states: "Mulberry fruit wine can treat long-term deafness. When drunk, hearing can be restored immediately, which has been proven effective."
Apart from treating hearing loss, according to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", mulberry fruit when stir-fried and taken with wine or decocted with wine can also treat phlegm-dampness and small intestine diseases. This is consistent with its warm and dispersing, and Qi descending effects.
The effects of mulberry fruit on the liver have also been confirmed by modern research. For example, its alcohol extract has antihypertensive effects. Mulberry fruit flavonoid glycosides have stable and long-lasting antihypertensive effects in anesthetized cats and dogs.
