The efficacy and function of Dipsacus asper

Medicinal value

This is its most well-known function. As a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been recorded in books long ago, which means it has a very ancient history of medicinal use. Its characteristics are "bitter, spicy, and slightly warm", and its main effects are related to this.

The first function is to promote the healing of bone injuries. The decoction of this plant can promote the opening of capillaries at the broken end of the bone, speed up blood flow and accelerate cell proliferation. In this way, the speed of wound recovery will be accelerated accordingly.

The second function is resistance to bacteria. This plant contains a substance called "volatile oil", which has a very good inhibitory effect on certain pathogens.

The third effect is anti-inflammatory. Experiments have shown that this plant can relieve general inflammation and other symptoms such as swelling and pain.

In addition, it also has some hemostatic, analgesic and liver and kidney nourishing effects, which is of great significance to the human body.

The specific method of collection is relatively simple. It is to be collected before frost, dig up the whole root, remove the soil on the root, bake it with fire or dry it in the sun, and then make it into a brew. The usage is also very simple. Take six to fifteen grams and boil it into a soup or mash it and apply it on the affected area. However, one thing that needs to be noted is that allergic reactions may occur after taking it, so be sure to consult a professional before taking it to prevent adverse reactions.
