The efficacy and function of Elsholtzia

1. Medicinal value:

Costusroot has very high medicinal value and is a common Chinese herbal medicine. Mainly used to treat diseases related to summer heat.

2. Ornamental value:

Osmanthus fragrans is easy to propagate by sowing and can bloom in the same year of sowing. The flower colors are beautiful, and in addition to the common purple, there is currently a white variant. The flowering period is relatively late, which allows it to stand out when flowering plants are rare; the dense branches allow it to be planted in large areas, which looks spectacular and is also its unique advantage; at the same time, it can resist cold and drought, and can adapt to different growing environments, and has a wide range of applications. All these determine that Osmanthus fragrans has a competitive advantage in decorating scenic spots and has a good development prospect.

3. Industrial value: applicable to different industrial fields.

1. Construction industry: can be used to prepare industrial paints.

2. Spice industry: Aromatic oils can be extracted from plants, and this substance can be used in industrial production. The extracted liquid has many advantages, mainly sterilization and insecticide. The extracted essential oils can be used in many different fields such as beauty, medical treatment, storage, etc., which is worth looking forward to.

3. Food industry: Volatile oils can be used as seasonings with a strong aroma and fresh taste. They can be used for cold dishes or cooking and are very popular among consumers. As a nectar source plant, the fragrance of its flowers is close to that of vitex nectar and has great potential for development.

4. Warehousing industry: The substance obtained from this plant can kill many insects and can be used in the warehouse storage industry, but it is still some distance away from widespread use.

4. Environmental protection value:

The roots of Elsholtzia ciliata distributed in the shallow soil layer make it particularly drought-resistant and can be used to avoid erosion damage to the soil. When planted in areas with relatively poor environmental conditions, it can not only conserve water and soil, but also serve as a source of nectar and provide a magnificent landscape effect. In the future, large quantities of this plant will be put into production and cultivation, which will have promising implications for ecological restoration and protection.
