Its active ingredients can regulate neurotransmitters. In addition, itsDisperse knots and reduce swellingCharacteristics: It is often used for carbuncle sores and can be ground into powder for external use. Modern research shows that its extracts have inhibitory effects on certain pathogenic microorganisms, but further verification is needed. Preparation methods must be strictly followed when using to reduce toxicity.

3. Modern research and precautions

In recent years, pharmacological research has found that the alkaloids in Arimaris haveAnti-inflammatory, analgesicPotential, animal experiments show that it has certain improvement in arthritis models (see table). However, it needs to be made clear that its toxic components (such as calcium oxalate needle crystals) need to be reduced through processing (such as ginger alum). Oral administration of raw products can easily cause oral mucosal irritation. Pregnant women and the infirm are not allowed to use it. Please follow the doctor’s advice when mixing.

Summary and reasonable application suggestions

As a traditional medicinal material, aroids have main functions of resolving phlegm and relieving spasms. Modern research has provided some scientific basis for its application, but it still needs to be combined with syndrome differentiation and treatment. When using it, attention should be paid to processing and attenuating the toxicity, and avoiding long-term use of large amounts of a single drug. It is recommended to use a reasonable combination under the guidance of a doctor for phlegm-dampness or wind-phlegm syndrome to maximize its efficacy.
