Function and Utility
The leaves of the paper mulberry tree are the leaves of the Moraceae plant. Distributed in East China, South China, Southwest China, Hebei, West China, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Hunan and other places. Contains flavonoid glycosides, phenols, organic acids, and tannins. It has the effect of cooling blood and diuresis. Treats vomiting blood, epistaxis, metrorrhagia, traumatic bleeding, edema and other diseases.
1. Cool blood and stop bleeding
The leaves of the tree have the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and can be used for various bleeding syndromes such as vomiting blood, epistaxis, metrorrhagia and sore bleeding. It is recorded in the classic book "Compendium of Materia Medica": The leaves of the tree are responsible for nasal congestion, and nasal congestion means persistent nosebleeds. Its young shoots are used as vegetables to treat wind-induced paralysis of the limbs and dysentery under the cypress.
|2. Diuresis and detoxification
The leaves of the tree have diuretic and detoxifying effects; it can be used to treat edema, hernia, dysentery, malignant sores and other diseases. There are also examples in ancient books: "Treatise on the Properties of Medicine": Stir-fried powder and cooked noodles are used to treat water dysentery. "Bielu": When I practice bathing soup, I get malignant sores and flesh. "Modern Practical Chinese Medicine": Make juice and apply insect poison and skin diseases.

1. Effect on the cardiovascular system: Pu leaf decoction and alcohol extract have significant antihypertensive effects on anesthetized dogs and sheep. The total flavonoid glycosides extracted from mulberry leaves were perfused into the isolated organs of rabbits, guinea pigs and rats at concentrations of 90μm/ml, 180μm/ml and 360μm/m|, which can significantly inhibit myocardial contractility. This inhibitory effect can be chlorinated Partially antagonized by calcium (CaCI2). While inhibiting myocardial contractility, it is accompanied by slowing of the heart rate, causing multiple arrhythmias in the atrium and ventricle, and has no significant effect on coronary flow [1]. Alcohol extract and total flavonoids also had similar effects on isolated atria of rabbits and guinea pigs, but had no significant effect on atrial contraction frequency. Total flavonoid glycosides were perfused into isolated rabbit ears at a concentration of 120 μg/ml, which significantly increased vascular outflow and showed a vasodilatory effect.
|2. Antibacterial effect: The acetone extract of Mulberry leaves has an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus. The total flavonoids extracted from Pueraria mulberry leaves have a protective effect on oxidative damage of immortalized epidermal cells in human immortalized epidermal cells exposed to lead and arsenic poisoning, reducing the content of malondialdehyde and increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.
