Pomegranate tree root can be decocted in water.

Pomegranate root is a Chinese herb, which is the bark of the pomegranate tree, containing alkaloids such as isogarnetine, pseudogarnetine and methylisogarnetine. The existence of the so-called pomegranate dermatophylline, which was not confirmed in earlier literature, may be isogarnetodermatophylline.

Pharmacological effects:

①Anthelmintic effect

Garnetine on the tapeworm killing effect is very strong, 1:10,000 garnetine hydrochloride in 5 to 10 minutes can kill tapeworms, but 1:50,000 on the tapeworms against the excitatory effect. Later it was proved that this active ingredient was actually isogarnetine. The anthelmintic effect of pseudogarnetine is not real.

Fresh pomegranate peel contains a large amount of tannin, clinical observation proved that the alkaloids and tannin combination than those who do not combine the anthelmintic effect is good, this is because the tannin can make the alkaloids into insoluble and thus difficult to absorb compounds, which can be sufficient to play a role in intestinal parasites. Due to the toxicity of pomegranate peel, it has been replaced by better drugs.

②Antibacterial effect

In vitro test on Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, Vibrio cholerae, dysentery bacillus, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever bacillus. Aspergillus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Mycobacterium tuberculosis have obvious inhibitory effect. It also has an inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogenic fungi. Its antibacterial effect may be related to the large amount of tannin contained in it.

③Antiviral effect

First injected into the chicken embryo urinary bladder cavity, half an hour after the inoculation of influenza virus (A PR8 strain) or first inoculated with the virus and then injected with the drug, incubated for 48 hours and then hematocrit test, proved that pomegranate peel decoction diluted to 1: 10000 ~ 1: 100000 still inhibit the role of influenza virus. Its action may also be due to the high content of tannin.

④Other effects

Female rats or guinea pigs can reduce the rate of conception after serving the powdered peel. Rabbits infused with root bark water infusion can promote blood clotting.

Grafting methods of pomegranate:

1, long branch cuttings: mostly used for direct gardening or a small amount of propagation in the courtyard, planting points dug 60 cm to 70 cm in diameter, 50 cm to 60 cm deep planting pits, outside the pit with a rotting soil fertilizer 5 kg or so and then mixed with the topsoil spare, each pit Insert 2 to 3 1 to 2-year-old 80 cm to 100 cm long plugs.

Plugs and the ground angle of 50 degrees to 60 degrees, inserted into the pit 40 centimeters to 50 centimeters deep, and then fill in the soil while stepping on the ground, and finally flooding and fixing the tree plate, covered with mulch or mulch to preserve moisture.

2, the pressure strip propagation: before the sprouting of the mother tree inter-root larger sprouting tiller from the base of the ring cut wounding to promote rooting, and then cultivate the soil 8 cm to 10 cm, to maintain soil humidity. After the fall, the rooted plants will be broken away from the mother plant into seedlings. Can also be bent in the spring tiller into the soil 10 cm to 20 cm and cut with a knife wound several places to promote the development of new roots, the upper part of the top and make it upright, and then cut off the connection with the mother plant, with the root of the seedling planting can be dug.

3, seed propagation: in August to September when the fruit is ripe will be picked, take out the seeds, rubbed off the outer seed coat, dry and store. Spring February to March sowing, before sowing the seeds will be soaked in warm water at 40 ℃ for 6 to 8 hours, to be the seed coat expansion before sowing.

Sow the soaked seeds in 25 cm row spacing in the culture soil, covered with 1 to 1.5 cm thick soil, covered with grass, watered once thoroughly. Later, keep the potting soil moist, soil temperature control between 20 to 25 ℃, after about a month will be able to send out new shoots and new roots.
