Chicory, as a traditional Chinese medicine, is slightly bitter, salty and cold, and has the functions of clearing away liver-fire, benefiting gallbladder, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Clinically, it is often used to treat damp-heat jaundice, edema and oliguria.
People who have seen popular science the day before yesterday should know that the uric acid-lowering components in chicory include chlorogenic acid, cichoric acid, aesculin, organic coumarin and sesquiterpene. At the same time, it can also lower blood sugar and protect the liver.
Pueraria lobata is the dried root of pueraria lobata, a leguminous plant. Pueraria lobata is the most common medicine for treating diabetes and its complications in traditional Chinese medicine. However, later studies show that Pueraria lobata can obviously reduce the swelling of gouty arthritis in rats, and has the effects of reducing uric acid and regulating spleen and kidney deficiency in gouty patients.
Mulberry leaves are the dried leaves of Mulberry, a Moraceae plant. Flavonoids contained in mulberry leaves have been proved to have the effects of regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, relieving gout joint inflammation and inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity in uric acid metabolism, thus reducing uric acid production in vivo and blood uric acid.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the above three kinds of traditional Chinese medicines are plants with the same origin of medicine and food, which are highly safe, and all have the functions of regulating metabolism, protecting liver and kidney, resisting inflammation and promoting uric acid reduction.
If the three herbs are reasonably compatible, can a high uric acid gout substitute tea be made, which can reduce uric acid, relieve gout inflammation and prevent gout attack without damaging liver and kidney?
Today's popular science will share a medical study and give scientific answers to gout patients.
In order to confirm whether the tea substitute composed of chicory, root, mulberry leaf, Phyllanthus emblica and corn stigma can reduce uric acid and resist gout, the medical staff did the following research.
First, the researchers selected 50 mice and divided them into 5 groups: blank group, hyperuricemia group, allopurinol group, high-dose group and low-dose group of tea substitutes, each group 10 mice, and then treated each group in different groups accordingly.
The results show that:
1. high and low doses of tea can reduce blood uric acid, inhibit xanthine oxidase activity and promote uric acid excretion;
2. High-dose and low-dose tea drinks can improve the liver and kidney damage caused by high uric acid, and can improve the inflammatory infiltration of liver and kidney tissues to varying degrees, and the effect of high-dose tea drinks is more obvious;
3. Both high and low doses of tea and allopurinol can significantly reduce the inflammatory index of gouty arthritis;
4. High and low doses of tea can significantly reduce the swelling degree of gout joints in Jiangdu and reduce the infrared temperature of joints.
5. High and low doses of tea can significantly reduce the level of inflammatory factors in gouty arthritis and improve the immune level.
In a word, this study shows that the tea substitute composed of chicory, kudzu root, mulberry leaf, Phyllanthus emblica and corn stigma can inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase, promote uric acid excretion, reduce the concentration of blood uric acid, and achieve the curative effect of treating gout, and the damage to liver and kidney is not as good as that of allopurinol-tea substitute in treating liver and kidney tissue of mice, indicating that it has protective effect on liver and kidney while treating gout.
Tea substitute can improve the degree of joint swelling, joint temperature and joint pathological manifestations in mice with gouty arthritis to varying degrees. It is said that tea substitute in Ming Dynasty also has the function of protecting joints.
