The efficacy and function of digitalis

The ornamental effect of digitalis

Digitalis flowers are very beautiful, with long stems covered with small flowers, which are white, pink or red. From a visual perspective, they are somewhat similar to flowers such as campanulas and hyacinths, and are still very ornamental.

Digitalis has relatively tall plants and beautifully shaped flowers. It can generally be used in the arrangement of flower beds and flower borders with excellent effects. Digitalis can also be used in garden plantings or natural flower arrangements to create a beautiful atmosphere.

Planting digitalis in potted plants also has good ornamental effects. Placing potted digitalis in a greenhouse can also make it bloom in early spring, which is more meaningful.

Medicinal effects of digitalis

Digitalis is an important medicinal material. As a cardiotonic, it can improve blood circulation, enhance the contractility of the myocardium, and has obvious medicinal effects.

Digitalis is mainly used to treat chronic congestive heart failure, can eliminate edema and have an effect on the condition.

Precautions for using digitalis

Although digitalis will show certain effects when used as medicine, we should also pay attention to the possibility of poisoning symptoms due to the drug.

Digitalis is not easy to excrete, and its accumulation in the body can easily lead to poisoning. Therefore, before taking digitalis, it is necessary to inquire about the medical history. It is best if the patient has not taken digitalis within two weeks before taking the medicine as usual. When taking the medicine, the dosage also needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation.

People with renal insufficiency or the elderly have slow excretion of digitalis, so the dosage of the drug should be smaller. And because each person's tolerance to drugs is different, specific medication needs to be adjusted according to actual circumstances.
