Medical Value of Ornamental Spicy Tree

(1) Lowering blood sugar

In the traditional medical system of India, the oil from Kanla tree seeds is used to treat diabetes. Guava leaves are used to treat hypertension, and in Senegal and West Africa, guava leaves are used to treat diabetes.

It is reported that hospital administrators in Senegal suffer from diabetes. For three years, he regularly drank Guanlaye tea every day to control his blood sugar, without relying on drugs.

Experts from Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia have done experiments on rabbits and found that the water extract of Guanla leaves has hypoglycemic effect, which can reduce blood sugar concentration within 3 hours. Although its effect is lower than that of commonly used hypoglycemic drugs, the effect of Guanla on diabetes is preliminarily scientifically demonstrated.

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, the extract from the leaves, roots or bark of Guanla can be put into capsules, 2.08mg each, which can relieve the symptoms of diabetes for 8 days. It can be seen that the application of the ingredients for treating diabetes in Guanla leaves has entered the stage of systematic purification and preparation.

In addition to supplementing nutrition, ornamental trees can also prevent people from getting this disease. It contains huge amounts of elements such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Ma), sodium (Na) and phosphorus (P) and trace elements such as zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe), which can activate cells and enhance immunity. I believe that in the near future, after more experiments, Guanla can also become a new force in treating diabetes patients.

(2) Reduce hypertension

At present, the scientific research results show that the leaves of Guanla contain glycosides and high content of potassium, which not only has the effect of lowering blood pressure, but also helps to antagonize the high-sodium diet used by China people (high-sodium diet can lead to hypertension, and high-potassium diet can prevent hypertension). In addition, some research results also found that the extracts of Guanla pod and its epidermis, serous fluid and seeds also have antihypertensive activity. It is said that Guanla leaf juice has a stabilizing effect on blood pressure and can be used to treat anxiety. Doctors also pointed out that Guanlashu is a traditional medicine, which is likely to be developed into a medicine for treating hypertension.

In Haiti, Moringa leaves are also used to treat hypertension. In addition to high potassium, Guanla leaves do contain a special component with antihypertensive effect: 1992. Experts have separated five antihypertensive components from Guanla leaves: aconitine, aconitine, aconitine, aconitine and aconitine. This is the first time that mineralized amino acid compounds have been found in plant materials. Subsequent research found that the water extract of Guanyin tree can increase heart rate at low concentration, but it will decrease heart rate and blood pressure at high concentration. In addition, Guanla leaves also have the function of strengthening the stomach. The methanol extract of Guanla leaves can significantly prevent gastric injury caused by aspirin and serotonin, and can also significantly improve the cure rate of gastric injury caused by acetic acid.

(3) Anti-inflammatory and infection prevention

It is inevitable that there will be some minor injuries in daily activities, and sometimes there will be further suppurative infection. At this time, capsaicin contained in the roots of spicy trees can come in handy. As long as 0.5 ~ 3/& micro; G./cc concentration can inhibit the growth of many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Typhoid Bacillus, Enterobacteriaceae, Paratyphoid Bacillus, Shigella dysenteriae, Mycobacterium phlei and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At higher concentration (7-10&; Microscopic; G./cc) can also inhibit the growth of mold. The root of Guanla is made into topical ointment, which can be used as a medicine for trauma.

The methanol, ether or chloroform extract of guava leaves has a good control effect on dermatophytes. The extract of Guanla leaves can inhibit the growth of Rhodopseudomonas, dermatophytes and microcystic sores (pathogenic bacteria of Hong Kong foot). The extract of Guanla leaves can inhibit the growth of Trichophyton at the concentration of 10mg/mL, and can kill Trichophyton when it exceeds 20mg/mL.

The ointment is prepared from cold liquid of guava leaves and chrysanthemum leaves, aloe juice, basil, essential oil, frankincense, etc. Can be used for treating eczema with burning sensation, and can also be used for removing dead keratinized skin, such as corns. It can be seen that the anti-inflammatory effect of Guanlashu has advanced from traditional folk therapy to the field of fine chemical industry in which ingredients are extracted to make drugs. The components contained in the roots and seeds of Guanla have long been proved to have antibacterial activity, and the pterygium isolated from Guanla has also been proved to have antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.

(4) Anti-gastric ulcer

Gastric ulcer is caused by gastric wall ulcer and is a multifactorial disease. The etiology is complex, but it is not completely clear so far, which is caused by a comprehensive factor. Mainly caused by the following factors:

Genetic factors: gastric ulcer sometimes has a family history, especially in children, which can account for 25% ~ 60%. In addition, people with type A blood are more likely to get this disease than people with other blood types.

Chemical factors: long-term drinking or taking aspirin, corticosteroids and other drugs are easy to cause this disease. In addition, long-term smoking and drinking strong tea seem to have a certain relationship;

Life factors: patients with peptic ulcer may be related to irregular diet, and overwork can also induce the disease;

Mental factors: mental stress or anxiety, sentimentality and excessive mental work are also inducing factors of this disease. It may be caused by vagus nerve excitement and excessive gastric acid secretion;

Infection factors: Marshall proved that Helicobacter pylori is the ultimate culprit of gastric ulcer, not caused by excessive pressure or acidic food.

In addition, the disease can also occur on the basis of other primary diseases, such as burns, severe brain trauma, gastrinoma, hyperparathyroidism, emphysema, liver cirrhosis and renal failure, and is called "secondary ulcer". This may be related to gastrin, hypercalcemia and excessive excitement of vagus nerve.

Scientists take rats as experimental objects, and the extract of Guanla leaves has a significant protective effect on gastric injury caused by aspirin and serotonin. In addition, it was found that Guanla extract had obvious curative effect on chronic gastric injury caused by acetic acid.

(5) Prevention of osteoporosis

According to research, before adulthood, bone formation is more than destruction, and calcium will continue to accumulate in bones, and the bone density will reach the highest at the age of 35-40, and then the speed of bone formation is less than that of bone loss. In the first 5 to 10 years after menopause (about 45 to 50 years old), bone loss accelerates to about 0.5 to 1% per year. In old age, men lose about 20% to 30% of their bones, while women may lose as much as 40% to 50%. Therefore, the prevention of osteoporosis should start from the first day of birth. Osteoporosis is not a patent for the elderly, and the professor of pediatrics pointed out that adolescents may also get osteoporosis.

According to the reports of relevant authorities and experts, it is not an ideal method to treat such diseases only by drugs or animal proteins. From the test results, it can be concluded that ornamental trees contain extremely high plant calcium, and each 100g dry powder of ornamental leaves contains 1320mg calcium. As long as 75g can provide 1000mg of calcium for men, 60g can provide 800mg of calcium for women. For the elderly, although they don't eat much, it is absolutely acceptable to eat a few spoonfuls of Guanla leaf powder every day.

(6) Anti-tumor

Tumor is a new organism formed by the abnormal growth of cells in local tissues under the action of various carcinogenic factors at the gene level, leading to their clonal proliferation. It is generally believed that tumor cells are monoclonal, that is, all tumor cells in a tumor are descendants of mutant cells. Tumors are generally divided into benign and malignant types. All malignant tumors are collectively called cancer.

Tumors are essentially genetic diseases. Benign tumors have little influence on the body, mainly showing symptoms of local compression and obstruction, and their influence is mainly related to the site and secondary changes. If it happens in important organs, it will also have serious consequences.

In traditional Indian medicine, the roots of Viburnum are used to treat tumors. The antitumor activity of several compounds isolated from ethanol extract of seeds was tested, and the inhibitory effect of Viburnum Viburnum extract on lymphoblastovirus was observed. The results showed that almost all the extracts had inhibitory effects.

(7) promoting sleep

Sleep is one of the most familiar activities in our daily life. About13 of a person's life is spent in sleep. When people are asleep, they can make people's brains and bodies rest, rest and recover. It is helpful for people's daily work and study. Improving the quality of sleep scientifically is the guarantee for people's normal work, study and life. Sleep quality is an important factor for physical and mental health. The market survey results show that with the increasing mental stress, poor sleep quality has troubled many people and even caused diseases. Overcoming insomnia can start with diet, and properly strengthening nutritional supplement can effectively improve sleep quality. Ornamental trees are rich in nutrition and natural plants, which are very suitable as such nutritional supplements.

It has also been reported that the extract of Guanla leaf powder has an effective inhibitory effect on the central nervous system in mice, which can relax muscles, lower body temperature and prolong sleep time. The sleep time of the experimental group fed with high dose of Guanla leaf powder is twice as long as that of the control group fed without Guanla leaf powder. To sum up, it should be a safer and healthier method to treat insomnia by replacing sleeping pills with Guanla with balanced nutrition.

In addition, viewing wax trees can also prevent fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis, and it also has a good effect on people who often smoke and drink.
