What's the difference between Leigonggen and Tripterygium Wilfordii? Is the effect the same? I only see tripterygium wilfordii in the Chinese medicine shop, but there is no tripterygium wilfordii root. Where can I sell it?
Leigonggen is an Umbelliferae herb. Its roots have been used in Asia for centuries. It is believed that it can promote cognition and be used to treat various skin diseases, from intractable wounds to leprosy. Some people also use Leigonggen to treat hypertension, rheumatism, fever and neurological disorders. Leigonggen is a topical ointment, which is used to treat heart disease, water retention, hoarseness of throat, bronchitis, children's cough and skin problems. In summer, it gets angry, and we will also cook some Leigonggen to make herbal tea.
Tripterygium wilfordii has anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects, and has effects on immune function, humoral immunity, cellular immunity, anti-tumor and anti-fertility. But tripterygium wilfordii is a highly toxic drug, especially for skin. When using tripterygium wilfordii, the skin should be strictly peeled. Women should be very careful when using tripterygium wilfordii, and it is best to follow the doctor's advice. It's completely different from Lei Gonggen, and of course it can't be universal!
