People often use motherwort to make tea to drink, which is a great influence on people, especially women's friends in terms of health, because people have a deep understanding of the efficacy of motherwort, not only can be used to drink, but also can be soaked in feet, so motherwort foot soak efficacy and effect is what?
The efficacy and role of motherwort foot soak
1, the role of the uterus: motherwort decoction, ethanol extract and motherwort alkaloids on rabbits, cats and other animals in the isolated uterus has an excitatory effect. Motherwort has the role of diuretic swelling, contraction of the uterus, is used by generations of medical doctors to treat gynecological diseases of the key drugs. What are the effects of motherwort foot soak, motherwort foot soak can promote blood circulation, blood circulation, because motherwort has a wide range of functions, is a better blood circulation of Chinese medicine. Specifically, the efficacy of motherwort foot soak is mainly for the treatment of female diseases, especially for dysmenorrhea has a good effect.
2, on the cardiovascular effect: motherwort on the isolated guinea pig heart, with isoprenaline caused by myocardial ischemia model, can significantly increase the coronary flow and quite significantly slow down the heart rate. The static injection of motherwort preparation makes anesthetized dogs significantly increase coronary flow, reduce coronary resistance, slow down the heart rate and reduce the output and the role of the left ventricular work.
3, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-thrombosis: In vitro experiments have proved that motherwort and its extracts have antagonistic effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in normal animals. In vivo experiments also proved that motherwort can significantly reduce the total number of platelets in the peripheral circulation and platelets and their aggregates in the alveolar wall capillaries. Motherwort has a significant dissolving effect on red thrombus in rabbit pulmonary circulation. In addition, motherwort has the effect of enhancing cellular immunity of the body.
Side effects of motherwort
1, toxicity. Motherwort has very low toxicity . Motherwort injection was given to mice intravenously, the LD50 was 30-60g/kg. motherwort total base was given to mice intravenously, the LD50 was 572.2±37.2mg/kg. motherwort base was given to rats intraperitoneally, 2mg each time for 4 consecutive days, there was no obvious adverse reaction. Total motherwort alkaloids were administered to rabbits subcutaneously at 30mg/kg/d for 2 weeks with no significant effect on feeding, body temperature and defecation. The feed of 50% dried motherwort powder was fed to adult rats for 80 days, showing no toxic reaction or fertility change.
2. Effects on cardiovascular. Small doses of motherwort alkaloids on the isolated frog heart, there is an enhanced contractile effect, the use of large doses, anti-inhibition phenomenon. This inhibitory phenomenon may be due to the excitation of vagus nerve endings. Frog vascular perfusion with epsom salts showed vasoconstriction, and the degree of constriction was proportional to the concentration of the test solution used. With epsom saline (2mg/kg) injected into the vein of anesthetized cats, the blood pressure drop was seen, and it could be recovered after a few minutes, and this kind of momentary temporary blood pressure drop phenomenon could still be found after both sides of the vagus nerve were cut off, if atropine was used first, and then epsom saline was injected, the drop in blood pressure was no longer as significant as before, so it could be deduced that the lowering of blood pressure of epsom saline was not keyed to the vagus nerve and might be caused by excitatory effect on the endings of the vagus nerve. The blood pressure reduction effect is not in the vagus nerve, but may be caused by the excitatory effect on the vagus nerve terminal.
