Poria cocos is a common traditional Chinese medicine in our lives, its efficacy and role also have many benefits to the human body, and it can be used as medicine, but also as a medicinal diet, which is in line with the theory of the homology of Chinese medicine and food, is a rare spleen and dampness medicine.
Poria cocos is also called cocos, cocos, pine potato, etc., since ancient times, it has been regarded as one of the "eight treasures of traditional Chinese medicine", and it is indispensable in the medical books of the ancients. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia summarizes the research results of predecessors in great detail.Poria cocos is sweet, light and flat. Return to the heart, lungs, spleen, and kidney meridians. Poria cocos is good for water infiltration, strengthens the spleen, calms the mind and calms the nerves. It is used for edema, less urine, phlegm and dizziness, spleen deficiency and less food, loose stools, diarrhea, restlessness, palpitations and insomnia.
Poria cocos is spherical, oblate or irregular block, different sizes, and weighs from two to more than ten catties. The surface is black-brown or tan, and the skin is thin and rough, with distinctly raised wrinkles, often with earth. weight, hard quality, not easy to break; The section is uneven, granular or powdery, the outer layer is light brown or light red, the inner layer is all white, a few are light brown, delicate, and visible cracks or brown pine roots and white velvety pieces are embedded in the middle. The smell is none, and the chewing sticks to the teeth. It is better to have a firm weight, brown and slightly shiny skin, deep wrinkles, white and delicate cross-section, and strong tooth stickiness. The white poria has been cut into thin slices or cubes, and the color is delicate and powdery. It is crunchy, easy to break and break, and sometimes the edges are yellowish-brown.
The existing literature has verified that Poria cocos extract has anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, improving memory, regulating urinary system, lowering blood sugar and blood lipids, sedative hypnosis, liver protection and other biological activities.
1.Improve immunity and anti-tumor: The triterpenoids and polysaccharides in Poria cocos can reduce the immune response of the experimental body to anti-tumor drugs by inhibiting enzyme activity, block the cell cycle, activate the emergency apoptosis pathway of cancer factors such as gastric cancer cells, colon cancer cells, breast cancer cells, lung cancer cells, and liver cancer cells, thereby inducing apoptosis, and showing a good reversal effect on increasing intracellular accumulation and retention of anti-tumor drugs and drug resistance in the body.
2.Reducing blood sugar and blood lipids: Experiments have proved that the compounds separated from the sclerotia cocos have the function of synergistically exhibiting significant insulin-like activity, which can replace insulin to stimulate the liver's uptake of glucose, form liver glycogen for storage, reduce the stimulation of insulin levels in the body, and can also induce triglyceride accumulation and inhibit lipolysis in differentiated adipocytes, which has the potential to treat metabolic syndrome or diabetes.
3.Sedative hypnosis: In traditional medicine, there is a description of the efficacy of Poria cocos to calm the mind and treat restlessness, palpitations and insomnia, and the research results of modern pharmacokinetics have also reached a high degree of compatibility with it. The complex of Poria cocos extract can significantly enhance the hypnotic effect of pentobarbital, reduce the potential difference of nerve cells, and make the nerve conduction rate tend to be moderate, and the total triterpenoids of Poria cocos have significant antiepileptic effects, which has great pioneering significance in the current research of sedatives in China.
