Role and efficacy of mulberry leaves 1
Effects of mulberry leaves: Evacuation of wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moistening the dryness, clearing the liver and brightening the eyes. Used for wind-heat cold, lung-heat dry cough, dizziness, headache, red eyes and blurred. 1, evacuation of wind-heat: used for wind-heat colds and eye redness and swelling, often with chrysanthemum. 2, clear the liver and brighten the eyes: used for wind and fire eye diseases (such as acute conjunctivitis). With the black sesame name sangma pill, used for liver yin insufficiency, liver yang hyperactivity caused by dizziness, blurred vision. 3, clearing the lungs and moistening dryness: for lung heat and dry cough: this product is bitter and cold to clear lung heat, sweet and cold yin, cool and moisten the lungs and dryness, so it can be used for dry heat injury to the lungs, dry cough with little phlegm, light can be used with almonds, Salvia divinorum, shellfish, such as Sang Apricot Soup; heavy can be used with gypsum, maitake, Agaricus blossom, and so on. The role of mulberry leaves: 1, mulberry leaves are good at dispersing wind-heat and drain the lung heat, wind-heat, headache, cough, etc., often with chrysanthemums, silver flowers, peppermint, beard, platycodon, etc. with the application. Mulberry leaves can not only be used for wind-heat caused by the eye red and shy, and can clear the liver fire, the liver fire on the inflammation of the eye red and swollen, with chrysanthemums, cassia seeds, psyllium, etc. with the application. As for the lack of liver yin, blurred eyes, mulberry leaves can also be used with nourishing the liver and kidney chasteberry, wolfberry, black sesame seeds. 2, mulberry leaves light and clear dispersal, can disperse wind-heat, but the role is weak. Clinically, it is mainly used to clear the lungs and liver, such as wind-heat attacking the lungs, coughing phlegm, or dry heat injury to the lungs, dry cough without phlegm; as well as wind-heat on the attack or liver fire inflammation, eye redness, swelling and pain and so on, for the commonly used drugs. With burdock, beard, the wind clear lungs; with gypsum, maitake, is dry and moisturize the lungs; with chrysanthemum, cassia seeds, is clearing the liver and eyesight. 3, mulberry leaves have antispasmodic effect. 4, mulberry leaves have antipathogenic microbial effects. Mulberry leaf decoction in vitro test on Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus B, diphtheria bacillus and Escherichia coli have a certain inhibitory effect. In addition, it can also kill leptospirosis. 5, mulberry leaves have anti-inflammatory effect. 6, mulberry leaves have hypoglycemic effect. The ecdysterone contained in a variety of methods induced by elevated blood glucose have hypoglycemic effect, can promote the conversion of glucose into glycogen, but does not change the blood sugar of normal animals. 7, mulberry leaves have the effect of lowering blood pressure. Mulberry leaf extract to the dog after anesthesia femoral vein injection, there is a temporary reduction in blood pressure, but does not affect the respiratory. 8, mulberry leaves have an effect on smooth muscle, the animal's uterus has an excitatory effect on the animal, the rat intestinal muscle has an inhibitory effect. 9, mulberry leaves also lower blood lipids, diuretic effect.Role and efficacy of mulberry leaves 2
(a) the efficacy of mulberry leaves mulberry leaves have evacuation of wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moistening dryness, suppressing the liver yang, clearing the liver and clearing the eyes, cooling the blood and stopping the efficacy of blood. It is used for wind-heat colds, lung-heat dry cough, dizziness and headache, red eyes and blurred. Evacuating wind-heat: Used for wind-heat colds and eye redness and swelling, often with chrysanthemum. Clearing the liver and improving eyesight: used for wind and fire eye diseases (such as acute conjunctivitis). With black sesame sangma pill, used for liver yin deficiency, liver yang hyperactivity caused by dizziness, blurred vision. Clearing the lungs and moistening dryness: used for lung-heat dry cough: the product is bitter and cold to clear lung heat, sweet and cold yin, cool and moisten the lungs, so it can be used for dry heat injury to the lungs, dry cough with little phlegm, light can be used with almonds, saxifrage, shellfish, such as sang apricot soup; heavy can be used with gypsum, maitake, Agaricus blossom, and so on. It has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding. Blood fever and vomiting blood, with 30 grams of mulberry leaves decoction, or with other cool blood to stop bleeding medicine. Mulberry leaves are rich in amino acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals and flavonoids and other physiologically active substances, is a good Chinese medicine and health food. China's Han Dynasty "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" called mulberry leaves for the "immortal grass", with blood, wind, cooling, liver and qi, hypotensive diuretic effect; can be seen, the ancient medical doctors have recognized the mulberry leaf is in addition to the heat to stop sweating of the medicine. According to the "Materia Medica Summary" records: "to tea, often served to stop sweating"; According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is clearly documented: "decoction of tea, thirst can be quenched". According to the Yuan Dynasty Zhu Danxi in the "Danxi Xinfa" has recorded: "frost mulberry leaves research powder, rice drink service, stop night sweats." The late Ming and early Qing dynasty famous doctor Fu Qingzhu is particularly good at using mulberry leaves to stop sweating, he has formulated "stop sweating Shendan", "curb sweating pills", "stop sweating Ding Shendan" and so on a number of formula, all with mulberry leaves as the main drug, reputation mulberry leaves For "collect sweat of the wonderful products". Modern medicine has proved that mulberry leaves are good functional food, it can lower blood pressure, lipid, anti-aging, increase endurance, lower cholesterol, inhibit fat accumulation, inhibit the generation of blood clots, inhibit the propagation of harmful bacteria in the intestine, inhibit the generation of harmful oxides, the most prominent function is to prevent diabetes. (B) the role of mulberry leaves According to research, the dried mulberry leaves contain 25% to 45% crude protein, 20% to 25% carbohydrates, 5% crude fat, as well as rich in potassium, calcium and vitamin C, copper, zinc, boron, manganese and other trace elements. Mulberry leaves contain ecdysone, lupinone and target aromatic glycosides, mulberry glycosides and a variety of amino acids, vitamins, cestogens, folic acid, folic acid, folic acid, endocannabinoid creatine, phytoestrogens and other substances needed by the human body, with anti-stress, anti-aging, enhance muscle endurance, regulation of adrenergic function and other effects. The fourth national census found that a county in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, longevity is more, one of the main reasons is that here planted mulberry trees, the local people are accustomed to using mulberry leaves as a substitute for tea to drink, but also eat mulberries all year round. Mulberry leaves contain more folic acid, each gram of mulberry leaves contains 105 micrograms of folic acid. As a pharmaceutical raw material, folic acid is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids, anti-anemia and growth promotion, and can treat stomach cancer, gastrointestinal pipeline disorders, loss of appetite, malnutrition and rash dermatitis, etc., which is of great significance to human health. Anti-coagulant effect Mulberry leaf extract can significantly prolong the whole blood coagulation time in mice and significantly prolong the plasma activated partial thromboplastin (APTI) time, plasminogen (PT) time and thrombin (TT) time in rabbits. Since the initiation of coagulation process is divided into exogenous and endogenous, APTI reflects the activity of endogenous coagulation pathway, PT reflects the activity of exogenous coagulation pathway, while TT reflects the same pathway of both ****, i.e., prothrombin activity. It shows that mulberry leaf has a direct inhibitory effect on thrombin - fibrinogen reaction. Blood pressure lowering effect The rutin, quercetin, quercetin in mulberry leaves can increase the contractility and output of the isolated and in situ frog heart, and reduce the heart rate. Rutin makes the lower limbs of the toad and rabbit ear vasoconstriction, quercetin can dilate coronary blood vessels, improve myocardial circulation. γ-aminobutyric acid, rutin, quercetin has a blood pressure lowering. γ-Aminobutyric acid is a neurotransmitter, which can promote the metabolism of brain tissue and restore the function of brain cells, and at the same time, it can improve the blood flow to the brain, enhance the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme I, and contribute to the reduction of blood pressure. Lowering blood lipids, lowering cholesterol, anti-thrombosis and anti-atherosclerosis effects Mulberry leaves have the effect of inhibiting the formation of fatty liver, lowering serum fat and inhibiting the formation of atherosclerosis. The active ingredients include DNJ, phytosterols, flavonoids and so on. Mulberry leaves contain flavonoids that strengthen capillaries and reduce blood viscosity, in addition, mulberry leaf tea contains antibodies within the LDL-lipoprotein oxidation of components, so mulberry leaves in the weight loss, improve hyperlipidemia at the same time, but also the prevention of myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Japanese expert Doi Yoshiyo confirmed that mulberry leaf extract has inhibitory effect on the elevation of serum lipids and atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemia. Mulberry leaf tea can make hyperlipidemic rats serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), HDL-C/TC significantly higher (p hypoglycemic effect Since ancient times, Chinese medicine will be mulberry leaves as the treatment of thirst (i.e., diabetes mellitus in modern medicine) of traditional Chinese medicine in the clinic, the Japanese ancient book "eating tea to maintain health" also recorded that mulberry leaves have the effect of improving "drinking water disease" (i.e., modern medicine diabetes mellitus), and the Japanese book "eating tea to maintain health" also recorded that mulberry leaves have the effect of improving "drinking water disease" (i.e., modern medicine diabetes mellitus). The Japanese book "Eating Tea for Health" also records that mulberry leaves have the effect of improving "drinking water disease" (i.e. diabetes in modern medicine). Domestic and foreign research data confirm that alkaloids and polysaccharides are the main hypoglycemic components of mulberry leaves. The hypoglycemic effect of mulberry leaves is realized through two ways: one is through the alkaloid DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin) on disaccharide catabolism enzyme activity inhibition, thereby inhibiting the absorption of disaccharide in the small intestine, reducing the peak value of blood glucose after eating (Kimura, 1995); the second is through the mulberry leaf alkaloid fagomine and mulberry leaf polysaccharides to promote β-cells must be insulin, and insulin can promote the cellular response to insulin, which is the main component of diabetes mellitus. Insulin can promote cellular utilization of sugar, hepatic glycogen synthesis and improve glucose metabolism, and finally achieve the effect of hypoglycemia (Chen Fujun et al., 1996). Polyhydroxydesmethylscopolamine isolated from Morus alba has a strong glycosidase inhibitory effect (Asano et al., 1994); N-Me-DNJ, GAL-DNJ, and fagomine can significantly reduce blood glucose levels, of which GAL-DNJ and fagomine have the strongest hypoglycemic effect (Kimura et al., 1995). Bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory effects Mulberry leaf juice has a good inhibitory effect on the growth of most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some yeasts (Fan Lixiang, 2001). Moreover, the required inhibitory concentration is low, the pH range is wide (4~9), and the heat stability is strong. The rutinoside in Mulberry significantly inhibited traumatic edema in rats and prevented the development of conjunctivitis, otolaryngitis, and pulmonary edema. Mulberry leaves have strong anti-inflammatory effect, which is consistent with the efficacy of dispelling wind and clearing heat (Chen Fujun et al.,1995) Antiviral and antitumor effects Mulberry leaves can prevent cancer cell production and improve human immunity, the main functional components are DNJ, flavonoids, sanguinarine, γ-aminobutyric acid and vitamins, and can inhibit chromosomal mutations and gene mutations.DNJ has significant antiretroviral activity ( Tierney,1995). DNJ has significant antiretroviral activity (Tierney, 1995). Its IG30 is ~ μg/mL, and the inhibitory power increases with the increase of DNJ dose(Ouyang Zhen,2003).The inhibitory rate of DNJ on tumor metastasis is that its inhibitory mechanism may be that DNI produces immature carbohydrate chains on the surface of the tumor cells by inhibiting the activity of glycosidase, which weakened the metastatic ability of the tumor. Kim (2000), a Korean scholar, found that two flavonoids, quercetin-3-β-D-glucopyranoside and quercetin-3-7-dioxo-β-D-glucopyranoside, which were isolated and purified from mulberry leaves, showed significant inhibitory effects on the growth of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Sanshin in mulberry leaves has anticancer activity, and vitamins in mulberry leaves have inhibitory mutagenic effects. Anti-aging and anti-fatigue effects The Institute of Clinical Pharmacology of Zhejiang University, through four years of experiments (Zhao Lijun et al., 2004), confirmed that mulberry leaves have similar tonic and anti-aging effects as ginseng. Ginseng is a hot tonic, while mulberry leaf is a clear tonic, no contraindications, can be used by young and old, and suitable for all seasons. In addition, quercetin, phenolic compounds, vitamin C and other components contained in mulberry leaves can prevent oxidative damage by inhibiting or removing free radicals. Mulberry leaf has the effects of ginseng-like tonic and anti-aging, stabilizing the function of the nervous system, relieving emotional excitement caused by physiological changes, increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase in the body, preventing the production of harmful substances in the body, reducing or eliminating the lipofuscin that has already been produced and deposited in the body (Huang Dong et al., 2000). Mulberry leaves can improve the tolerance of mice to high temperature stimulation and prevent the adrenal cortex distribution function from being low due to stress stimulation, and when the adrenal function is low, mulberry leaves can normalize it. Mulberry leaves can prolong the time of swimming and baton twirling in mice, and has the effect of enhancing the endurance of the organism and prolonging the life span of Drosophila melanogaster. It can effectively remove the superoxide anion produced by biological oxidation, and has the effect of delaying aging (Tang Fadie et al., 2000). Anti-filarial effect The single mulberry leaf injection has an anti-filarial effect, and mulberry leaves can be used for the treatment of filarial elephantiasis and celiac disease (Yao Lianchu, 1996; Wang Peiyi, 1999), and its mechanism of action may be the result of the combination of anti-inflammatory, decongestive, tissue-softening, and antimicrobial effects of the constituents of the mulberry leaf, such as rutin, quercetin, isoquercitrin, coumarin, and clathrin, etc. The antispasmodic and antimicrobial effects of mulberry leaves are also well known in the treatment of filarial diseases, and the treatment of filarial diseases can also be used for the treatment of filarial diseases. Antispasmodic, anti-ulcer effect Quercetin in mulberry leaves can reduce the tension of intestinal and bronchial smooth muscle, and its antispasmodic effect is stronger than that of rutin, rutin can reduce gastric motility in rats, and can relieve barium chloride-induced spasms of small intestinal smooth muscle, and subcutaneous injection of rutin 5-10 mg/kg can significantly reduce the number of foci of gastric ulcers induced by ligation of pylorus in rats (Xu Ailian et al., 2005).Improvement of intestinal function, lubrication of the stomach and the stomach.
Improvement of intestinal function, laxative and weight loss DNJ minerals and unabsorbed sugars in the small intestine enter the large intestine and are fermented by the intestinal flora, producing butyric acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and other organic acids, making the intestinal environment acidic, increasing the acidity of intestinal contents, inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria, and regulating intestinal tract, improving constipation, and improving the feeling of bloating and fullness of the abdomen. With diarrhea and laxative, reduce the occurrence of certain acute abdomen, protect the intestinal mucosa and weight loss and so on.Expanded reading
What are the benefits of mulberry tea?
Lowering blood sugar, blood lipids
Modern pharmacological research shows that mulberry leaves have the effect of lowering blood sugar, but does not change the normal level of blood sugar, in addition, mulberry leaves contain certain amino acids can stimulate the secretion of insulin, and can reduce the rate of consumption of insulin. Mulberry leaves also have the effect of lowering blood pressure, promoting protein synthesis, eliminating cholesterol in the body, and lowering blood lipids.Detoxification
Mulberry leaves are rich in selenium and germanium and other rare elements, so mulberry leaf tea can be said to be a natural antioxidant, able to remove free radicals in the body, so that the body of the toxic substances are oxidized, and enhance the oxygen content of the blood, thereby improving the body's metabolism.Weight loss
Mulberry leaf tea has the effect of eliminating edema and improving edema-type obesity. This is because the mulberry leaf has obvious water effect, diuretic effect, so as to discharge excess water in the body tissue, so often drink mulberry leaf tea can improve edema obesity.Improvement of skin color
The benefits of drinking mulberry leaf tea can also improve the skin pigmentation, this is because the mulberry leaf contains rue glucoside, quercetin, isoquercitrin and other organic acids, in addition, it is also rich in vitamins, a variety of amino acids, etc., can regulate and improve the metabolism of the skin tissues, in particular, inhibit the occurrence of hyperpigmentation and the development of have a role. It can regulate and improve the metabolism of skin tissue, especially inhibit the occurrence and development of pigmentation.Mulberry tea brewing method
