The efficacy and effects of Panax ginseng flowers

Panax notoginseng flower, also known as Tianqi flower, is the part of the whole Panax notoginseng plant with the highest content of Panax notoginseng saponin. It has pharmacological effects such as sedative and tranquilizing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and hypotensive, and is commonly used to treat hypertension, migraine, and insomnia. It is also used to treat hypertension, migraine, insomnia, etc. It has the effects of detoxifying heat, calming the liver and brightening the eyes, losing weight, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, anti-inflammation, stopping bleeding, relieving pain, anti-cancer, nourishing and anti-aging, and enhancing the immune function of human. Let's take a look at the specific efficacy and effects of Panax ginseng flowers.

Clearing heat and detoxifying

Panax pseudoginseng flower is cool in taste and has the effect of cooling the blood, which can neutralize heat in the body, and at the same time, it can regulate the operation of qi and blood, invigorate blood circulation, unblock meridians, and promote the discharge of heat toxins out of the body.

Regulates the central nervous system

Panax ginseng flower can regulate the central nervous system, improve the excitation and inhibition process of the brain and bring it into balance; it can improve the ability of mental and physical work, increase the efficiency of work, and has the effect of anti-fatigue.

Dilate blood vessels

Panax notoginseng flower hot infusion, water decoction and water decoction alcohol extract have obvious dilating effect on isolated rabbit ear blood vessels, but this effect is not caused by the release of histamine, and has no effect on isolated rabbit ear blood vessels with preserved nerves. The total saponins in Panax notoginseng flowers had a transient effect on reducing arterial blood pressure and peripheral resistance in dogs in animal experiments.

Anti-inflammatory

The total saponin of Panax ginseng flower has inhibitory effects on ear Guo inflammation induced by croton oil in mice and rats, dye exudative inflammation induced by intraperitoneal injection of glacial acetic acid, as well as on ankle swelling and foot swelling in mice or rats induced by carrageenan, kaolin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, egg white and hyaluronidase. It also significantly counteracted the increase of capillary permeability in rat skin caused by 5-hydroxytryptamine, histamine and bradykinin, and also reduced the content of PGE in inflammatory exudates. After excision of bilateral adrenal glands, the total saponin of Panax ginseng flower still had significant inhibitory effect on the foot swelling in rats with carrageenan. However, there was no significant effect on vitamin C content in rat adrenal glands, suggesting that its anti-inflammatory effect may not depend on the pituitary-adrenal system, but is related to prostaglandin synthesis.

Anti-cancer

Panax notoginseng saponins contained in Panax notoginseng flowers can play an anti-tumor role by directly killing tumor cells, inhibiting tumor cell growth or metastasis, inducing tumor cell apoptosis or inducing tumor cell differentiation for reversal, enhancing and stimulating the body's immune function, etc.

Enhancement of immunity

Panax ginseng polysaccharide is an effective component in promoting immunity. Both polysaccharides of Panax ginseng flowers can promote the function of macrophages. The total glycosides of Panax notoginseng can also increase the total number of white blood cells and the percentage of lymphocytes in the blood, promote the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells, and also increase the production of humoral immune antibodies to a certain extent. Pharmacological experiments found that Panax notoginseng total saponin can significantly increase the phagocytosis rate and phagocytosis index of macrophages in mice, increase the total number of leukocytes in peripheral blood and reduce the movement index of leukocytes; Panax notoginseng aqueous decoction or Panax notoginseng polysaccharide has a significant role in promoting the production of antigen-binding cells in mice; Panax notoginseng saponin has a promotional effect on the mitosis of human lymphocytes in vitro. The above results indicate that Panax ginseng flowers have certain immunomodulatory effects.

Anti-oxidative aging

The abnormal accumulation of lipid peroxide (LPO) in the body disrupts the normal function of biological membranes and promotes aging and the occurrence of various diseases such as atherosclerosis. Experimentally, Panax ginseng powder made into a paste with distilled water can significantly reduce the content of LPO in the blood of rats, and the most significant reduction of LOP in brain tissue, which has anti-aging effect.

Hemostatic

Panax ginseng flower has good hemostatic effect and can significantly shorten bleeding and clotting time. Studies have shown that the hemostatic component of Panax notoginseng flower is mainly dencichine. Dencichine can induce platelet aggregation and deformation, and release ADP, platelet factor III and calcium ions to achieve hemostatic effect.
