We often see such ingredients in some drugs for clearing heat and tonifying the lung. What are the effects and functions of Baiji?
Efficacy of Baiji
Bletilla striata has the functions of clearing heat, tonifying blood and lungs. It is a traditional Chinese medicine. The efficacy and function of Bletilla striata can be learned from a folk rhyme: 'Bletilla striata tastes bitter, attacks and converges, swells and sores, and surgery is the best'.
Role of Baiji
1、 Treatment of lung disease
The lung tonifying effect of Bletilla striata was first recorded in Yi Jian Zhi by Hong Mai, a writer in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was recorded that at that time, a prisoner in a prison in Taizhou suffered lung injury and often hemoptysis. After grinding Bletilla striata into powder, the jailer fed the prisoner with rice soup and recovered in a few weeks. Bletilla, a prescription for tonifying the lung and stopping bleeding, was later included in the compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen.
2、 Treatment of chapped hands and feet
Bletilla striata is mainly used as medicine in tubers. It is better to have thick rhizomes, large and solid roots and no fibrous roots. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Bletilla striata tastes bitter, sweet and astringent, slightly cold in nature, and enters the lung meridian. It has the functions of hemostasis and detumescence. It can treat sore bleeding, carbuncle, swollen poison, ulcer and chapped hands and feet. Weinan materia medica says that it 'cures pain and injures lung qi, replenishes lung deficiency, stops cough, eliminates pulmonary rash, coughs blood and astringes Lung Qi'.
3、 Coagulation and hemostasis
The fresh bletilla tuber contains 14.6% water, 30.48% starch and 1.5% glucose, as well as volatile oil, mucus, Bletilla mannan and so on. The hemostatic effect of Bletilla striata is related to its colloidal components. It can significantly shorten the coagulation time, accelerate the sedimentation rate of red blood cells, agglutinate red blood cells and form artificial thrombus, so as to repair vascular defects and achieve hemostatic effect.
4、 Treatment of ulcer
Bletilla striata has anti ulcer effect and can treat gastric and duodenal ulcer. Because Bletilla striata is highly drilling, it can form a colloidal membrane in the stomach, so as to promote the healing of the ulcer surface. Moreover, the beneficial components in Bletilla striata have antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, and can form a protective film locally, which can control and prevent gastric infection.
