When it comes to Banlangen, I'm afraid that 80% of Chinese people are aware of it because of the 2003? SARS? has made Banlangen a household name and a star Chinese medicine.

Banlangen efficacy

Banlangen, is the dried root of the cruciferous plant woad, which is also well known as the big green leaf is the big leaf of woad. That is, the root and leaves of the same plant, woad, are the root and leaves of the same plant.

Taste bitter and cold, to the heart, stomach meridian. It has the effect of clearing heat and removing toxins, cooling the blood and relieving the pharynx. In ancient times, it was often used for warm epidemics, rotting throat, dengtongue, carbuncle and so on. In life, it is mainly used for sore throat, dry mouth and throat caused by heat in the lung and stomach, and acute tonsillitis with the above symptoms.

In the treatment of colds and flu, Panlangen clearing heat and detoxification effect is really good, there is a similar fever and elevated body temperature and other situations with compound Panlangen punch can play a better effect of fever.

From SARS, avian influenza to influenza A, everywhere you can see the figure of the blue root, but also be used in the plague when the poison, the plague more viral or bacterial infections. So the question is, can the blue root antiviral kill bacteria?

Hou Xianbang, Li Juan, et al. in rats in the antiviral pharmacodynamic material basis of the study, the separation of the components of the root of the blue, found that the 4 (3H) - quinazolone and glycyrrhizin on the influenza virus neuraminidase activity has a significant inhibitory effect. Panax quinquefolium exerted antiviral effects while reducing inflammation and tissue damage. In addition, acidic polysaccharides in Panax quinquefolium inhibited influenza virus neuraminidase activity.

The anti-inflammatory effect of Panax quinquefolium was demonstrated in a study by Chen Zhiwei et al. The aqueous decoction extracted fractions of Panax quinquefolium possessed antioxidant activities such as SOD activity and elimination of free radicals, and protected the cells from oxidative damage and reduced inflammation.

Banlangen aqueous decoction extract fraction has obvious inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Escherichia typhimurium, Aerobacterium paratyphi, dysentery (shigella, fusarium) bacillus, and Enterobacteriaceae. Currently approved and marketed Banlangen injection can be used against influenza fever, viral pneumonia and other antibacterial anti-inflammatory.

But up to now, there is no clinical trial data published on the use of Panlangen for antiviral purposes, and there are no approved indications related to antiviral. The main reason why Panax quinquefolium can play an important role in the antiviral process is because of its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Often influenza and the like are accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, which corresponds to the strong points of Panax quinquefolium.

Panax quinquefolium toxicity and use notes

Panax quinquefolium toxicity is minimal, with a very small number of people experiencing mild gastrointestinal symptoms when taking regular amounts.

Banlangen is only suitable for the treatment of febrile illnesses such as wind-heat colds and influenza, and is not suitable for other types of colds such as wind-cold colds.

Banlangen is cold and cold in nature, and although there are no reports of poisoning, it should not be used in large quantities over a long period of time. If you drink a lot of it, it may hurt your stomach and cause indigestion and other illnesses due to the bitter cold.
