Effects and contraindications of rutabaga

Rutaceae alias: Rutaceae root, taste: sweet, cold. Returning to the lung meridian and stomach meridian. It is used for fever and thirst, stomach heat and vomiting, lung heat and cough, lung carbuncle and pus, and fever and astringent pain. Let's take a look at the specific effects and contraindications of rutabaga root.

Quench thirst and relieve irritation

It is sweet and cold in nature, and can clear the actual heat in the lung and stomach, as well as relieve thirst and irritability.

Clearing heat and draining pus

Lutea root, like the lung meridian, is good at clearing lung heat, dispelling phlegm and draining pus. It can be used to treat coughs and coughs caused by wind-heat and thick phlegm, and can also be used to treat coughs and coughs of pulmonary carbuncles with thick phlegm and fishy smell.

Anti-vomiting

It can clear stomach heat and stop vomiting. It can be used together with fresh reed root and bamboo rhizome to stop vomiting.

Diuretic

It can be used to treat hot and astringent pain, short urine and other symptoms.

Pharmacological effects

Inhibitory effect on skeletal muscle

It can inhibit the contraction response induced by electrical stimulation of frog neuromuscular specimens and the oxygen uptake and anaerobic glycolysis of rat diaphragm, and inhibit the response of actin-adenosine triphosphate system, as well as a relatively weak central inhibitory effect, as shown by the sedative effect on rats and mice, and can be antagonistic to caffeine.

Sedative effect

The preparation inhibited the contractile response to electrical stimulation of frog neuromuscular specimens and the oxygen uptake and anaerobic glycolysis of rat diaphragm, and inhibited the response of the actin-ADP system, and also had a relatively weak central depressant effect, manifested as sedation in both rats and mice, and was antagonistic to caffeine.

Analgesic effect

In the EEG of rabbits stimulated by rehmannia preparation, there was an increase in wave amplitude and a decrease in frequency, indicating an inhibition of the functions of the central nervous system. In the rat tail electrical stimulation test, there was an analgesic effect, similar in intensity to that of aminopyrine.

Antipyretic effect

Rutabaga also has an antipyretic effect, and has a better antipyretic effect on TTG (refined complex polysaccharides of Pseu-domonas fluorescens) fever, but has no effect on fever caused by dinitrophenol.

Neuroinhibitory effect

Rutabaga has a transient inhibitory effect on the polysynaptic reflex (cat peroneal nerve - gastrocnemius specimen). Intravenous injection of rutabaga can cause a transient decrease in blood pressure in rabbits, subcutaneous injection can cause a slight decrease in blood glucose, and inhibit the isolated toad heart and isolated rabbit intestine.

Contraindications to the consumption of rutabaga

Since rutabaga is a cold drug, it is effective in removing heat and relieving cough, but remember that rutabaga is prohibited for people with a cold spleen and stomach, and people without a cold spleen and stomach should not take it together with croton.
