In Suzhou area of Jiangsu Province, Ai Di tea is not big for a thousand years. Its stems and leaves are used as a strong agent and have hemostatic effect. Its root bark has the function of detoxification and blood breaking. A lot of people still don't know what kind of health preserving effect does Aidi tea have? Let's take a look at the efficacy, function and edible method of Aidi tea.
Relieving cough and eliminating phlegm. Cough, expectorant obvious, but also a little antiasthmatic effect.
Relieving cough and asthma, clearing away dampness and heat, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Used for cough, phlegm, rheumatism, jaundice, edema, amenorrhea, aching muscles and bones, traumatic injury. It has antitussive and expectorant effect, and has inhibitory effect on pneumococcus, Staphylococcus aureus and influenza virus.
1. Dispelling phlegm and relieving cough: it can be used to treat cough, asthma and phlegm, whether the lung is cold or hot. It can also be used as tablet.
2. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis: it is used for abdominal pain due to blood stagnation, amenorrhea, rheumatism, traumatic injury, blood stasis, swelling and pain. 3. Diuresis and dampness infiltration: it is used to treat dampness heat, jaundice, edema and adverse urination.
1. Chronic tracheitis: Aidicha 35g, decocted in water, taken three times, or with this preparation.
2. Tuberculosis, tuberculous pleurisy: Aidicha, Prunella vulgaris each 12g, Stemona, Baiji, Tiandong, Mahonia leaf, mulberry skin each 9g, decoction.
3. Acute icteric hepatitis: Aidicha 30g, brown sugar appropriate amount, red jujube 10 pieces, decoction.
4. Traumatic injury, rheumatic arthralgia, irregular menstruation and so on: it can be used in combination with other drugs.
The results showed that the effect of Aidicha was as follows
1. Antitussive effect
The main antitussive component is catechin. The antitussive effect of Catechin on experimental cough in cats and mice is equivalent to 1 / 4-1 / 10 of codeine phosphate, It has obvious antitussive effect on cough caused by electrical stimulation of superior laryngeal nerve or ammonia solution after 30-80 minutes, lasting for about 3-7 hours. The effect of intraperitoneal injection is faster and stronger. The dosage above 5 g / kg body weight has obvious antitussive effect within 10-40 minutes, It was reported that catechin-1 may be a central antitussive drug acting on the midbrain, but it could not antagonize the effect of nicothamide on the respiratory center. Catechin-1 had no synergistic effect on the central inhibitors thiopental sodium and pentobarbital sodium, and did not produce central inhibitory effect at high dose, Therefore, it is a selective inhibitor of cough center
2. Expectorant effect
The results showed that Aidicha decoction had obvious expectorant effect on mice (phenol red method), and the effect was similar to that of Platycodon grandiflorum, and the effect of intraperitoneal injection was stronger. The effective components of Aidicha Decoction were flavonoid glycosides. It was proved that the flavonoid glycosides could increase the tracheal secretion of mice (phenol red method) and rats (capillary method), It can promote the expectoration of tracheal cilia in anesthetized cats
3. Antiasthmatic effect
There is no antiasthmatic effect of short tea 1 and three terpenes in the Ardisia japonica, while the flavonoid has obvious antiasthmatic effect (ammonia spray) for intramuscular injection or intraperitoneal injection of guinea pigs. Mild convulsion after administration, but it can resume itself, but the effect of asthma is not obvious by gavage. Its volatile oil also has antiasthmatic effect, but it only needs to reach toxic dose.
4. The function of antiviral microorganism
The results showed that the water decoction of Ai Di Cha had a certain inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and influenza virus. After removing tannins, its antibacterial effect disappeared. Ai Di Cha No.1 had inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Ai Di Cha flavone had stronger effect, but it was difficult to reach the effective concentration in vivo, The results showed that the ethanol soluble (water-insoluble) part of the whole herb of Ardisia Sinica had a better therapeutic effect on pulmonary tuberculosis. The extract of Ardisia Sinica had a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro. The inhibitory activities of ardiolol I and II against Mycobacterium tuberculosis were also observed. The bactericidal effect of volatile oil from Ardisia Sinica was stronger than that of eucalyptus oil in vitro, The effect of volatile oil on Escherichia coli was similar to that of eucalyptus oil, but the antibacterial potency of volatile oil from different batches was different.
