Poria with hostwood is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history, which is widely used to treat insomnia and restless symptoms because of its unique sedative effect. Fu Shen can not only soothe the nerves and help sleep, but also nourish the heart and spleen and reconcile the body and mind. It is an ideal natural medicine.
1:The main components and functions of Fu Shen
Poria cum Ligno Hospite is mainly composed of polysaccharides, steroids and so on. Studies show that these components can effectively improve sleep quality, shorten sleep time and increase deep sleep time. If a single substance is extracted, it will not have a really good effect.
Fushen powder's calming effect is also recorded in detail in Compendium of Materia Medica, and its characteristics of "living by holding wood" suggest that this plant can absorb the essence of nature, so as to nourish the heart and spleen of human body, thus achieving the purpose of calming the nerves.
Modern medical research has also found that poria with hostwood has a remarkable effect on improving insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen, which is achieved through the mechanism of conditioning the body, which is different from ordinary tranquilizing products and achieves the goal by acting on a certain nerve, which coincides with the records in ancient medical books.
2:Comparison between Fu Shen and spine date seed
In traditional Chinese medicine, semen ziziphi spinosae is frequently used to treat insomnia because of its excellent sedative effect. However, with the increase of market demand, the price of Jujube kernel powder has gradually increased, and a large number of counterfeit and shoddy products have appeared on the market, which has troubled many insomniacs seeking natural treatment.
In contrast, as a rare but effective Chinese herbal medicine, Poria is as effective as Sour jujube kernel oil in treating insomnia, and even has more unique advantages in some aspects.
Fu Shen's soothing effect is milder and will not lead to drowsiness the next day, which is an important consideration for modern people who need to keep a clear head.
Fu Shen has more obvious curative effect in regulating the internal environment of human body, especially insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen. Fu Shen also has a certain function of promoting diuresis and removing dampness, which can achieve the effect of treating insomnia by regulating the internal environment, which spine date seed does not have.
Fu Shen not only has unique medicinal properties, but also has the support of modern research for improving insomnia. Poria is undoubtedly a worthy choice when choosing traditional Chinese medicine for insomnia. In the follow-up treatment, the application of Poria can be adjusted appropriately according to personal physique and specific symptoms of insomnia to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
We can see that Fu Shen, as a traditional Chinese medicine for insomnia, is a worthy choice because of its unique medicinal properties and effects. Especially for those who are not effective or have concerns about Zizyphus jujuba, Fu Shen provides another possibility.
Under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the rational use of Poria can not only improve the symptoms of insomnia, but also promote the overall health of the body.
3:What are the precautions when using Fushen Extract?
Before discussing the application of poria with hostwood in the treatment of insomnia, it is very important to know its applicable population and contraindications. Fu Shen, as a tranquilizing drug, is suitable for insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen, overthinking or emotional instability.
This kind of people usually show symptoms such as difficulty in falling asleep, shallow sleep, easy to wake up, MUBI, listlessness and so on. Fu Shen helps to restore the harmonious balance of the heart and spleen by nourishing the heart and spleen and calming the nerves, thus improving the quality of sleep.
Not all insomnia patients are suitable for using poria cocos. Especially those insomnia symptoms caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire, such as feeling hot, dry mouth, flushed face and hot flashes, etc., the use of Poria may not receive the expected therapeutic effect, and may even aggravate the symptoms.
It is the key to treat insomnia safely and effectively to correctly identify one's physique type and use Poria under the guidance of professional doctors.
Pregnant women, lactating women and patients with certain chronic diseases should consult doctors before using Poria to avoid possible side effects or drug interactions. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "the right medicine", so individual differences must be fully considered when choosing treatment schemes.
4:Scientific research supports poria cocos in treating insomnia
The main components in Poria are polysaccharides and steroids, which can soothe the nerves by regulating the central nervous system. Studies have shown that Fu Shen can effectively improve the symptoms of insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen, including but not limited to difficulties in falling asleep, frequent waking at night, MUBI and early waking.
For example, in an animal study, poria extract can significantly increase the non-rapid eye movement sleep time of experimental animals, which is related to deep sleep and is very important for restoring physical and mental health. Fu Shen also has a mild sedative effect, which can effectively alleviate anxiety and tension, which has a positive effect on relieving insomnia caused by psychological factors.
Fu Shen can improve the quality of sleep by nourishing the heart and invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the yin, yang, qi and blood of the human body. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the fact that the application of Fu Shen is not suitable for everyone. For insomnia patients with yin deficiency and excessive fire, the use of Fu Shen may be counterproductive, because the gentleness of Fu Shen may not be enough to calm the internal fire, and may even aggravate the symptoms. Before using poria cocos, it is particularly important to carry out physical identification and consult the advice of Chinese medicine practitioners.
In the field of modern medical research, although there are relatively few studies on the treatment of insomnia by Poria, the existing pharmacological research and experimental animal research provide scientific basis for its efficacy of calming the nerves and helping sleep. I hope that with the deepening of scientific research, we can fully understand the value and potential of Fu Shen extract in the treatment of insomnia.
5:Modern application and compatibility of poria cocos
In the practice of modern Chinese medicine, Poria is not only used alone in the treatment of insomnia, but also often combined with other medicinal materials to enhance its effect.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of insomnia are complex and diverse, involving the imbalance of heart, liver, spleen and kidney. It is often necessary to carry out personalized drug combination according to specific symptoms and physical differences during treatment.
For example, for insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen, Fu-Shen is often used in combination with Dangshen, Atractylodes macrocephala and other herbs to tonify the heart and spleen, soothe the nerves and help sleep.
For the sleep disorder caused by stagnation of liver qi, it can be combined with drugs such as Chaihu and Yujin to soothe the liver and relieve depression, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect. Poria can also be combined with Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Radix Polygalae and other herbs to enhance the efficacy of calming nerves and helping sleep.
In modern research, the compatibility of Poria with other medicinal materials has also been scientifically explored. Studies have shown that these drug combinations can regulate the physiological functions of the human body at multiple levels, not only improve the quality of sleep, but also enhance the overall health of the body.
For example, some studies have pointed out that the combination of Poria and Paeonia lactiflora can effectively alleviate the symptoms of insomnia caused by emotional fluctuations, and its mechanism involves regulating the balance of neurotransmitters and improving the function of the nervous system.
6:Fu Shen and Fu Ling are not the same!
Fu Shen is not poria cocos. They are homologous but have different medicinal parts and effects. Both Fu-ling and Fu-Shen are derived from the dry sclerotia of Poria cocos, a fungus of Polyporaceae, but Fu Shen is the part with pine roots (Poria wood) in the sclerotia, and fu ling is the main part of the sclerotia (after peeling). Although both of them have sedative effects, they have different degrees and other additional effects, and there is a clear distinction in the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, so you should carefully distinguish them when purchasing.
