Dendrobium can improve gastrointestinal function and relieve constipation

Speaking of Cordyceps Sinensis, everyone is familiar with it, but when it comes to Dendrobium officinale, few people know it.
The habitat of wild Dendrobium candidum is very unique. It mainly grows on tree trunks or epiphytes on cliffs. It also needs the help of insects for cross-pollination. Generally, pollination is poor and the results are very few. The seeds are as small as dust and do not contain endosperm. They are difficult to germinate naturally and require symbiosis with fungi to obtain nutrients to complete germination. Therefore, the natural reproduction rate is extremely low, growth is slow, and coupled with predatory mining, wild resources are now on the verge of extinction.
In contrast, the natural reproduction of Cordyceps sinensis in alpine areas is much easier. Cordyceps sinensis is mainly distributed in alpine zones and snow-capped mountains and grasslands in Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, Guizhou and other places.
The formation of Cordyceps sinensis occurs when bat moths living in alpine areas lay eggs in the soil when they reproduce. When the eggs slowly transform into bat moth larvae, they are infected by the Cordyceps fungus and then wriggle to two or three centimeters above the surface. In places where the body is filled with mycelium, it dies, which is called winter worm. In the early summer of next year, when the weather gets warmer, grass heads will grow from the heads of the larvae, and they will emerge from the ground as they grow. This is summer grass. People found that after they were dug and dried, they became what we usually see.
Dendrobium officinale has quietly become popular in the health care market
Due to technical bottlenecks, Dendrobium officinale has been priceless for a long time. In recent years, with the maturity of wild planting technology, there is no essential difference in the content of active ingredients between artificially grown Dendrobium officinale and wild varieties. As a result, this rare medicinal material has once again been highly praised by the traditional Chinese medicine and health care circles.
At present, in the Pearl River Delta with Guangdong as the center and the Yangtze River Delta with Zhejiang as the hinterland, the health-preserving consumption of Dendrobium candidum is very popular. In Zhejiang alone, the annual production and sales of Dendrobium candidum reaches about 100 million yuan. In Hunan, Dendrobium officinale has also begun to become the first choice of some high-end health care professionals.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and prescribes the right medicine. According to the yin and yang balance theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the functional performance of the human body is yang, and the structural status of the organs and tissues in the body is yin. The emergence of chronic diseases and sub-health is just a symptom. It is basically a symptom of poor condition of internal organs, loss of negative substances, inability to control yang, and decreased nourishment function.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that insufficient Yin fluid leads to numerous diseases. Especially in the south, the climate is hot, which makes it easy to get fever and deplete yin fluid. In addition, Hunan people like spicy and greasy food, which is more likely to cause symptoms of yin deficiency. Insomnia, dreaminess, dry mouth, listlessness, low immunity, etc. are all manifestations of yin deficiency syndrome.
Thousands of years of medical research has confirmed that Dendrobium officinale is rich in dendrobium polysaccharides and mucilage substances that nourish yin and retain water, and are extremely effective in relieving and treating yin deficiency syndrome in the human body. It is the best medicinal material to nourish yin and moisturize dryness, and treat yin deficiency diseases such as low immunity, sub-health, oxidative aging, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, tumors and physical deficiency due to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, oral ulcers and sore throat. "Supplements to the Compendium of Materia Medica" praises Dendrobium officinale as a treasure for nourishing yin and nourishing yin. Xie Zongwan, a famous modern doctor, praised that the ointment is rich in fat and has the greatest power of nourishing yin! .
Her value has not yet been fully recognized
The therapeutic and health-preserving effects of Dendrobium officinale are accurate and have been verified by traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It was listed in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" many years ago. "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty records that Dendrobium officinale is of top grade: it is mainly used to treat injuries, remove paralysis and lower the qi, replenish the five internal organs due to fatigue and thinness, strengthen yin and replenish essence. Taking it for a long time will strengthen the intestines and stomach. Tonify internal deficiencies, calm stomach qi, grow muscles, eliminate pathogenic heat and prickly qi in the skin, cause pain in the feet and knees, cold numbness and weakness, calm down the mind and eliminate panic. Lighten your body and prolong your life. It replenishes qi and removes heat, treats weakness in waist and feet in men, strengthens yang, wind-induced paralysis of skin and muscles, chronic coldness in bones, and nourishes kidneys and strengthens strength. It strengthens the muscles and bones, warms the internal organs with water, nourishes the mind and clears the Qi, cures spontaneous sweating due to fever, and discharges pus and pus from carbuncles. Dendrobium officinale has been listed separately in the 2016 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China.
Dendrobium officinale has been rare and endangered in nature for a long time, and its resources are very limited. Except for Zhejiang, Guangdong, Beijing and other places, it is rarely used by the medical community. Therefore, for a long time, Dendrobium officinale has been unfamiliar to many people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and its medicinal value is far from being recognized by the medical and health market.
