Dendrobium Huoshan, also known as Dendrobium Huoshan, is a plant that grows widely in the Dabie Mountains of Huoshan County, Anhui Province, China. It is a national first-class endangered medicinal plant and is known as the "Millennium Emperor Herb, the Giant Panda in the Pharmaceutical Realm". Dendrobium Huoshan grows on cloud-shrouded cliffs, crevices between cliffs and towering ancient trees. It is born on tree trunks and valley rocks in mountain forests and takes at least 6 years to mature. Its growth environment is harsh, and it needs to be in an environment with humid air, fertile soil, and cool and shaded light. Dendrobium Huoshan is rich in polysaccharides, Dendrobium alkali, protein, and 20 kinds of amino acids required by the human body. It has significant medicinal value and wide applicability. Due to its long growth cycle, extremely low yield, and resource depletion caused by excessive mining, Dendrobium huoshan is particularly precious. Dendrobium huoshan is not only an important medicinal material in the field of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, but also an important choice for modern people to pursue a healthy lifestyle。
The specific treatment mechanism of Dendrobium huoshan for diabetic patients mainly involves the pharmacological effects of its polysaccharide components, activating the increase of pancreatic beta cells and the decrease of alpha cells. In the treatment of diabetes, Dendrobium huoshan polysaccharide can reduce blood sugar levels and effectively prevent and treat diabetic complications. In addition to directly lowering blood sugar, Dendrobium huoshan can also inhibit the decomposition of hepatic glycogen caused by adrenaline and promote hepatic glycogen synthesis, reduce the source of blood sugar, increase blood sugar pathways, thereby lowering blood sugar levels, enhancing insulin activity, and has a good repair effect on insulin damage, so that blood
The growth environment of Dendrobium huoshan
1. Humidity: Dendrobium huoshan likes a humid environment and avoids drying. The air humidity should be kept above 60%, and some materials even mention that the air humidity should be kept at about 80% all year round.
2. Light: Dendrobium huoshan likes a half-yang and half-yin environment, and the light should not be too strong. Although Dendrobium huoshan likes a half-yin environment, light can be appropriately increased during the peak growing season (May to August) to promote photosynthesis while avoiding direct sunlight
3. Soil: It is suitable to grow on a well-ventilated, loosely drained, humus-rich substrate. Such as a seedbed made of bricks or stones, and filled with rough and moisture-absorbing gravel and a layer of bark
4. Temperature: The temperature can be adjusted through facilities such as greenhouses or greenhouses to ensure that it does not exceed 8 ° C in winter and 32 ° C in summer, and that there is a sufficient frost-free period of not less than 220 days.
5. Altitude simulation: Dendrobium needs to grow at a high altitude of 300 to 900 meters.
Through the above method, the natural growth environment of Dendrobium huoshan can be simulated as much as possible under artificial conditions, thereby promoting its healthy growth.
Why is Dendrobium huoshan so expensive?
1. Low yield and slow growth: Dendrobium huoshan has a long production cycle and a slow production process. It can only grow to 3 cm long in three years. Compared with those grown in other regions, its growth rate is significantly slower. This growth condition is extremely harsh and its reproductive capacity is low, resulting in very little yield.
2. Over-mining leads to resource depletion: Due to the high popularity of Dendrobium huoshan, the large market demand, coupled with the narrow distribution area and high environmental requirements, there has been a long-term phenomenon of only harvesting species, resulting in very little wild production and the species is on the verge of extinction. In addition, in the early 20th century, driven by interests, the over-mining of Dendrobium almost brought the species to the brink of extinction.
3. Exhaustion of wild resources: Dendrobium huoshan (including Dendrobium officinale) has been unrestrained for its medicinal value, resulting in the depletion of wild resources and becoming a highly endangered species. Long-term destructive harvesting has kept its wild resources in a state of critical endangerment.
4. Dependence on the ecological environment: The quality of Dendrobium huoshan is directly affected by a good ecological environment. Only in green waters and lush mountains and specific environmental climate conditions can high-quality Dendrobium huoshan be bred. This shows that the growth of Dendrobium huoshan is highly dependent on a specific ecological environment.
The low yield and slow growth of Dendrobium huoshan, combined with over-mining and dependence on specific ecological environment, led to the depletion of its wild resources, which had a serious impact on the environment and wild populations.
A method to identify the authenticity of Dendrobium huoshanensis and Dendrobium huoshanensis
1. Observe the shape: Dendrobium huoshan plants are short, the stem is 3 to 9 cm long, and the bottom is thick and the top is thin. Dendrobium huoshan has different thicknesses at both ends, one is thick and the other is thin, and the roots are thicker and thinner. This is obviously different from the common Dendrobium corneum and other Dendrobium officinale in the market. The latter is golden in color, relatively fine, and has very little gum, and the taste is like dry straw.
2. Taste the taste: The real Dendrobium huoshan maple bucket has a hard taste, less crispy residue, and will have a gum that sticks to the teeth. At first, it will feel very dry and hard, and slowly chewing will find that it is more and more sticky to the teeth. And Dendrobium coppericum has very little gum, and the taste is like dry straw.
3. Smell the smell: Authentic Dendrobium huoshan will have a faint grassy fragrance and no other peculiar smell.
4. Auxiliary methods: including observing the color (the color of Dendrobium huoshan is mostly cyan or cyan), trying to break the maple bucket to see if it is easy to break, etc.
The differences and advantages of Dendrobium huoshan in the treatment of diabetes are mainly reflected in the following aspects
1. Regulate the endocrine system and promote insulin secretion: Dendrobium huoshan can lower blood sugar by regulating the human endocrine system and promoting insulin secretion, which can not only stabilize blood sugar but also improve symptoms for diabetic patients.
2. Repair islet cells and improve microcirculation: In addition to directly acting on the regulation of blood sugar, Dendrobium huoshan can also repair islet cells, improve microcirculation, and reduce the occurrence of complications 60. This is an important advantage of Dendrobium huoshan in the treatment of diabetes, because it involves multiple layers of the disease, not just blood sugar control.
3. The role of polysaccharide components: The polysaccharide components in Dendrobium huoshan have been shown to effectively reduce blood sugar levels in diabetes models. This shows that Dendrobium huoshan has a certain scientific basis and practical effect in lowering blood sugar.
4. Application of nourishing yin and clearing heat: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of anti-thirst disease (diabetes) is yin deficiency-based, with dryness and heat as the standard. Therefore, nourishing yin and clearing heat is the basic law for the treatment of anti-thirst disease 67. Dendrobium huoshan, because of its sweet taste and slightly cold nature, conforms to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diabetes, and can benefit the stomach and produce fluid, nourish yin and clear heat.
5. Comparison with other Chinese herbal medicines: Although Dendrobium huoshan and other Chinese herbal medicines such as mulberry branch total alkaloid tablets also have the effect of treating diabetes, the uniqueness of Dendrobium huoshan lies in its comprehensive therapeutic effects, including regulating endocrine, repairing islet cells, improving microcirculation, and nourishing yin and clearing heat.
6. Indications: For type 2 diabetes, studies have investigated the clinical effect of different dosage forms of Dendrobium mixture sequential prescription in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, indicating that Dendrobium mixture sequential prescription can be used to treat type 2 diabetes.
The recommended dosage and course of treatment for diabetic patients are as follows
1. Dried Dendrobium is used 5 to 15 grams at a time, and fresh Dendrobium is used 15 to 30 grams at a time. This suggests that the amount of Dendrobium used varies depending on its dry or fresh state.
2. For Dendrobium huoshan (a specific type of Dendrobium), eat three or four a day. The "piece" here may refer to the granular Dendrobium huoshan product, the exact size of which is not clearly stated in the evidence.
3. The general dosage of Dendrobium is 6 to 12 grams per day, and fresh products need to be doubled (ie 15 to 24 grams). This is consistent with the one-time dosage of Dendrobium and Fresh Dendrobium, further confirming the amount of Dendrobium used in different states.
4. Dendrobium huoshan polysaccharide has been studied to reduce blood sugar and lipid levels in diabetic patients, and has anti-diabetic cataract effects. Although this evidence does not directly provide specific dosage and course of treatment information, it highlights the potential value of Dendrobium huoshan polysaccharide in diabetes management.
In addition to its therapeutic effect on diabetes, Dendrobium huoshan also has the effect of improving immunity, preventing and treating hyperlipidemia, diabetic eye disease and other diseases. However, due to the limited effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating diabetes, Dendrobium huoshan is mainly used as an adjuvant treatment for diabetes. Especially diabetic patients with yin deficiency, if they have symptoms such as dry tongue, dry pharynx, and less saliva, they can eat Dendrobium huoshan to recuperate their bodies. However, if diabetic patients are afraid of cold, cold, strong yin qi, and insufficient yang qi, they are not suitable for eating Dendrobium huoshan. Therefore, when diabetic patients consider using Dendrobium huoshan as an adjuvant treatment method, they should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid excessive use, which will increase the metabol
Diabetic patients considering the use of Dendrobium huoshan as an adjuvant treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor to avoid excessive use, increase the metabolic burden on the body, and affect liver and kidney function
