The application of madder in our life is also very extensive. As a traditional Chinese medicine, madder not only has a very high medicinal value, but also has a very good health care effect. Of course, madder is very effective in treating many diseases in our body. So do you know about the medicinal value of madder? Let's take a look at it together.

1, hemostasis

We can't have smooth sailing in life, and there will often be some bumps, but sometimes we bleed when we break our arms or legs. What should we do? At this time, we can use some madder. We can grind madder and apply it to the wound, which can help us stop bleeding quickly. Madder can promote blood coagulation in our body. The results showed that the calcium recovery time, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time on white pottery were shortened. Oral administration of madder charcoal can also significantly shorten the time of tail bleeding in mice. Madder can also obviously correct the coagulation disorder caused by heparin.

2. Anti-platelet aggregation

In vitro, swertiamarin has a strong inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and collagen in rabbits.

3, increase the role of white blood cells

The crude extract of madder has the effect of increasing white blood cells. One of its effective components for increasing white blood cells is phenolic carboxylic acid glycoside with aromatic ring, and the derivative of this effective component, rubidate, has been synthesized artificially.

4, antitussive phlegm effect

The method of inducing cough by spraying ammonia water and the method of excreting phenol red proved that mice had obvious antitussive and expectorant effects by taking 75g/kg of Radix Rubiae decoction orally, but the filtrate precipitated with ethanol was ineffective.

5, antibacterial effect

In vitro experiments showed that the aqueous extract of madder root had certain inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Influenza Bacillus and some skin fungi. Alizarin also has inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus.

Madder has a unique therapeutic effect on many diseases of our human body. Madder can not only stop bleeding, but also help us to treat many diseases such as cough and excessive phlegm. Of course, madder also has a very good anti-platelet aggregation effect, so the medicinal value of madder is very high. We can treat these symptoms by taking madder.
