Microscopic identification Leaf surface view: the old stork grass lower epidermal cells pericycle wall deep wave-like curved, sometimes thickened bead-like. Non-glandular hairs are mostly unicellular, a few 2-3 cells, 65-450 μm long, 13-25 μm in diameter, wall with warty protrusions. Glandular hairs are frequent, the head unicellular, oblong or orbicular-like, 9-20 μm in diameter; the stalk 1-3 cells. Stomata indeterminate or unequal, with 4-6 parvicellular guard cells. Calcium oxalate clusters of crystals rounded clusters, 7-30 μm in diameter. Application of the identification of the old stork and live, the two drugs are pungent, bitter, warm nature, function of expelling wind-dampness, pain relief, relief of the table, the main treatment of rheumatism paralysis and pain.

Antibacterial effect Decoction of the whole grass in vitro on human katalogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Fuchsia dysentery bacillus old stork
, Streptococcus b, pneumococcus, and so on, which contains tannins have a certain effect on its inhibitory effect, the Asian influenza A virus Jingke 68-1 strain and the parainfluenza virus I strain have more obvious inhibition of Sendai. The tannin contained in this product has a certain effect on its antibacterial effect, and has a more obvious inhibitory effect on Asian influenza A virus strain 68-1 and parainfluenza virus type I strain Sendai. The MIC of geraniol contained in this product on Serratia marcescens and Audouin's small holdfast is 0.39ml/ml. Antiviral effect The decoction of the whole herb has more obvious inhibitory effect on Asian influenza A virus Keike 68-1 strain and parainfluenza virus I Sendai strain (through chicken embryo, with blood ball agglutination test); its leaves and stems have stronger effect on the former, and the effect of the root is weaker; the tannins contained have little effect on the antiviral effect of the herb. The effect of ellagic acid on its antiviral effect is not significant. Screening test on the inhibition of influenza virus by chicken embryo, the old stork has a certain inhibitory effect. Antidiarrheal effect The water-soluble extract of Nepalese Stork's Nest, produced in Japan, has a certain antidiarrheal effect on rabbits. Rabbits fasting its decoction or dry extract, can inhibit the activity of the duodenum and small intestine, and promote the reverse peristalsis of the cecum, thus appearing antidiarrheal effect; but the dose is too large, it can promote the peristalsis of the large intestine and diarrhea effect. Therefore, its role is different from atropine. In addition to tannin, the active ingredient of antidiarrheal appears to be able to make the intestinal mucosa, especially the mucosa of the large intestine astringent substances. Coagulation Rabbit oral aqueous extract, can increase blood coagulation, may be related to the tannins contained (in the intestine into gallic acid, and later absorbed in the form of alkali salts). Cough suppressant: Alcohol precipitation decoction 11.6g/kg gavage, ammonia fog induced cough mice have cough suppressant effect, 7, 20g/kg gavage, electrical stimulation of anesthetized cats supraglottic laryngeal nerve induced cough method has a cough suppressant effect. Expectorant Alcohol sunken decoction 30, 50g/kg gavage, on the mouse phenol red excretion method, no expectorant effect. Anthelmintic effect Geraniol has the effect of repelling rat roundworms; Effect on gastrointestinal tract Small doses can inhibit the spontaneous activity of rats. Rats po, can inhibit gastrointestinal motility, but the stork has little effect on the movement of the large intestine. Diuretic effect Small doses of po have a mild diuretic effect on rats. Taste: pungent, bitter, flat. Attributes: to the liver, kidney, spleen meridian. Functions: Dispelling wind-dampness, clearing channels and stopping diarrhea.
