Medical Benefits and Effects of Paulownia
Under the dual verification of traditional Chinese medicine classics and modern pharmacological research, Paulownia, a fast-growing deciduous tree, is gradually revealing its medicinal mysteries. The purple sea of flowers that bloom in April not only adorn the streets of urban and rural areas, but the active components contained in the bark, flowers, and fruits also show惊人的 potential in the fields of antibacterial and anticancer medicine.
Scientific Analysis of Medicinal Ingredients
Natural Antibacterial Defense System
The latest research from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences found that when the concentration of propanol substances extracted from Paulownia bark reaches 0.5mg/ml, the inhibition rate against Staphylococcus aureus can reach as high as 92%. The unique levorotatory sesamin in its xylem has also been proven to penetrate the virus envelope, reducing the activity of influenza virus by 78%.
Anticancer Substances with Dual Mechanisms
The journal "Anticancer Plant Research" in 2023 pointed out that the ursolic acid contained in Paulownia can not only directly inhibit the DNA replication of cancer cells but can also enhance immune surveillance function by activating NK cells. Animal experiments show that mice that consume 200mg/kg of ursolic acid daily have a tumor volume reduction rate of 43%.
Cardiovascular Regulation System
The unique iridoid compounds in its fruits can bidirectionally regulate blood pressure: After continuously taking Paulownia extract for 3 months, hypertensive patients had an average reduction in systolic blood pressure of 18mmHg; while hypotensive groups showed a stable increase, and the component syringin can shorten the clotting time to 1.3 times the normal value.
Expansion of Clinical Application Scenarios
Modern preparation technology has transformed its active ingredients into 12 dosage forms: 1. Nasal spray for the treatment of allergic rhinitis with an effective rate of 89%; 2. Enteric-coated tablets to control the recurrence rate of chronic enteritis reduced by 62%; 3. Ophthalmic gel to improve conjunctivitis symptoms time reduced by 40%. Clinical data from grade A tertiary hospitals show that the use of antibiotics in the treatment of respiratory system infections with Paulownia preparations has been reduced by 53%.
