Plantain has a certain therapeutic effect on gout, but it is not a magic weapon and cannot be used blindly. Its efficacy in treating gout is based on its diuresis, stone elimination, and nephritis aspects. For the common raw grass in rural areas, it can be regarded as a cost-effective drug for treating gout, but it is not a specific drug. The specific analysis is as follows: 1. Plantain has a diuretic effect, which can promote the discharge of uric acid and reduce uric acid. The whole plant of the fresh medicinal plant is used.
Plantain is a relatively common diuretic herb, and most of the causes of gout are high uric acid. The diuretic properties of plantain can discharge uric acid. Drinking it with boiled water is indeed good. It’s just that only fresh grass is effective in treating gout. The hay sold in many online stores is already far less effective. At present, fresh grass does not have a systematic supply chain, so it can Not many are available for purchase.
When boiling hay plantain, it needs to be boiled long enough to have a diuretic effect. Generally, it takes 20 minutes after the water is boiled to make slightly yellow plantain tea. It is better to drink it when it is boiled into a yellowish green color, and when it comes to dry medicine, it is better to have no flowers. 2. Plantain has a therapeutic effect on early gout caused by nephritis.
Plantain also has a therapeutic effect on nephritis. Nephritis is partly caused by high uric acid. During treatment, the whole hay plant of Plantain is used, with the root being the most important, followed by the leaves. However, the effectiveness of the root of Plantain needs to be It reaches its best stage when it blooms, so young plantain will not work.
Most of the prescriptions for nephritis are used together with other drugs. Plantain alone is not very useful for nephritis. When nephritis has developed, it should not be used blindly. Instead of trying to treat a disease unilaterally, professional medical personnel are needed to prescribe and prepare prescriptions. Therefore, although nephritis can be cured, it cannot be cured by one prescription. 3. Plantain is a commonly used herbal medicine for stones, and it has a therapeutic effect on stone-type gout.
Both plantain and money grass are important herbs for kidney stones. When used, the flowering plantain is also used successfully, but when it is processed, it is no longer dried, but There is a difference between "sun-drying", sun-drying and sun-drying, but now the processing of herbal medicines is no longer systematic. Many herbal farmers just dry them in the sun and sell them to pharmacies. People who grow medicine no longer know much about processing and other processes, which is why some of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine has been compromised.
Plantain is used a lot in the treatment of stones, especially in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals everywhere. It has almost become a must-have field. However, most of the processing of Chinese herbal medicines is based on dehydration. The "stem" is mainly used. Not everyone understands the functions of other processes, which also increases the dosage of plantain.
In general, although plantain has a certain effect on gout, it is not an elixir. It is still necessary to let professionals prescribe it. Blind use is not advisable.
