When people hear the name, they feel like they are going to eat stones. The most important function of this kind of congee is diuresis and antibacterial. So what is it? What's the effect of Erchen congee? Let's share with you.
The "Er Chen" in the ER Chen congee refers to Chen PI and Chen Fuling, which are made of sulfone stone and lotus seed. Poria cocos contains β - Poria cocos glycan, Poria cocos acid and other effective ingredients, which has diuretic, antibacterial and hypoglycemic effects. Lotus seed is rich in starch and raffinose, which can nourish heart, kidney and spleen. Orange peel contains hesperidin and chuanchenpi, which can regulate qi, strengthen spleen, dry dampness and dissipate phlegm.
effect:
① Diuretic effect
Tuckahoe Decoction 3 g or the commonly used clinical dosage has no diuretic effect on healthy people. Intravenous injection of decoction 0.048 g / kg in dogs does not increase the urine volume, nor does it have any effect or weakness on rats, nor does oral Decoction of rabbits (close to the dosage of clinical people) increase the urine volume. However, the diuretic effect of Poria cocos is still worthy of further study. Poria cocos contains 97.5mg% potassium. Calculated with 30% water decoction, Poria cocos contains 0.186mg/ml sodium and 11.2mg/ml potassium. Therefore, Poria cocos promotes the excretion of sodium regardless of the content of sodium (because the content of sodium is too low), while the increase of potassium excretion is related to the large amount of potassium salt it contains.
Wuling powder has obvious diuretic effect in dogs (intravenous injection), healthy people and rabbits (oral Decoction) with chronic ureteral fistula, and rats (oral alcohol extraction solution). In dogs' experiment, it can increase the excretion of sodium, potassium and chlorine, but the main diuretic drugs in Wuling powder are Alisma and Atractylodes macrocephala. It has also been reported that WULINGSAN decoction can not prove diuretic effect when it is taken orally to rats and the dosage is increased to 1g / 100g.
② Antibacterial action
Poria cocos was not found to have antibacterial effect in vitro. Ethanol extract can kill Leptospira in vitro, while water decoction is ineffective.
③ Effect on digestive system
Poria cocos has a direct relaxation effect on the isolated intestine of rabbits, a preventive effect on the ulcer caused by pylorus ligation of rats, and can reduce the gastric acid.
④ Other functions
Poria cocos can reduce blood sugar, tincture and extract can inhibit Toad's isolated heart, and ether or ethanol extract can strengthen heart contraction. It has no antiemetic effect on pigeon vomiting caused by digitalis.
Many people will think that it is a kind of common stone. In fact, it is a very good kind of stone. It may not be herbal medicine. It gives you a kind of illusion. Erchen's congee is very helpful for those who have high blood pressure and uremia. I hope it will help you.
