According to scientific research, the lung cells of human embryonic tissue can live for twelve generations after being treated with Liuwei Dihuang decoction. Generally speaking, this kind of cultured cells (called primary cells) obtained from human embryos after treatment are different from subculture cells. This kind of primary cells will degenerate after two or three generations at most, and some will die soon. This shows that Liuwei Dihuang decoction, a famous prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, has certain anti-aging effect.
In order to understand the anti-aging effects of prescriptions for tonifying kidney and invigorating qi, researchers in Taiwan chose Liuwei Dihuang Decoction for tonifying kidney and Sijunzi Decoction for invigorating qi to study, and found that Liuwei Dihuang Decoction did have anti-aging effects on human embryonic lung cells, but Sijunzi Decoction did not. The lung cultured cells treated with Liuwei Dihuang decoction can improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes, avoid being attacked by peroxide free radicals, and then prolong the generation of cell survival.
Extended data:
Remember that three kinds of people should not take Liuwei Dihuang Pills:
One, there is no obvious symptoms of kidney yin deficiency should not be.
Kidney yin deficiency is manifested as soreness and weakness of waist and knees, vexation and fever, dizziness and tinnitus. Although Liuwei Dihuang Pill has the function of tonifying kidney, even if healthy people take it for a short time, it will not have any side effects, but if they take it for a long time, they are likely to have full stomachs, loose stool and loss of appetite.
Second, it is not suitable for those with obvious kidney yang deficiency.
Kidney-yang deficiency is mostly manifested as pale complexion, soreness and coldness of waist and knees, weakness, preference for warmth and aversion to cold. Many patients with erectile dysfunction think that it is caused by kidney deficiency, so they take Liuwei Dihuang pills on their own initiative, but it is often counterproductive. Because the kidney is only an important organ of the urinary system, it is not directly related to the strength of sexual function.
Three, kidney yin deficiency but poor spleen and stomach function is not suitable.
Although Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a drug that tends to tonify yin, there are many drugs that nourish yin in the prescription, and people with poor stomach function will interfere with digestive function after eating it. Therefore, even if you belong to kidney-yin deficiency, but the spleen and stomach function is not good, it is not recommended to take it.
