It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, diuresis and reducing jaundice, reducing swelling and dissipating knots. It is mainly used for hepatitis, jaundice, bruises and skin infections. Its core effects include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hepatoprotective and wound healing, while its secondary effects involve relieving sore throat and improving digestive function. The content will focus on its pharmacological effects, clinical applications and precautions to avoid exaggerated publicity and ensure that the information is objective and reliable.

Its active ingredients (such as flavonoids and phenolic acids) can inhibit the growth of a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, and have a significant inhibitory effect on common bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It is often used clinically to treat inflammatory diseases such as skin purulent infections and pharyngitis. Studies have shown that its extract can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNF-α) and relieve symptoms of tissue redness, swelling, heat and pain.

Its active ingredients can promote bile secretion, reduce serum bilirubin, and repair liver cell damage. Animal experiments show that Difungi can reduce carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis and improve liver function indicators (such as ALT, AST). Traditionally, it is often combined with Artemisia wormwood and Gardenia jasminoides to enhance the curative effect.

External use to reduce swelling and bruises

Ground fungus can be applied externallyReduce swelling and dissipate knots, to treat bruises, bruises, blood stasis, swelling and pain. Its volatile oil component can promote local blood circulation and accelerate the absorption of congestion. Folks often pound the fresh grass and apply it on the affected area, or mix it with safflower and angelica to make an ointment.

Comprehensive application and precautions

Although the functions of ground fungus are diverse, it needs to be used based on syndrome differentiation. People with spleen and stomach deficiency should take it with caution, and pregnant women should not use it. Modern research supports its hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, but the specific dosage should be followed as directed by your doctor. Combining the theories of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Diturna has significant potential in the auxiliary treatment of infectious diseases and liver diseases. Its standardized extraction process needs to be further explored in the future.
