Efficacy and function of psoralea corylifolia;
First of all, "Kaibao Materia Medica" once recorded: "Treat five strains of seven injuries, wind deficiency and cold, bone marrow injury, kidney cold and nocturnal emission." Psoralea corylifolia belongs to the kidney meridian, so it has the effect of tonifying kidney and helping yang. Psoralea corylifolia can be used for kidney yang deficiency, warming vital signs, tonifying kidney and strengthening waist. In the course of treatment, kidney-tonifying drugs such as Semen Cuscutae and Eucommia ulmoides are often used to treat cold pain in the waist and knees and impotence of the lower body. Psoralea corylifolia is often combined with kidney-tonifying drugs, such as Qing 'e Pill and Psoralea corylifolia Pill.
Secondly, Psoralea corylifolia belongs to spleen meridian, so Psoralea corylifolia has the effects of strengthening spleen, warming spleen and stopping diarrhea. Psoralea corylifolia can be used for diarrhea caused by deficiency of spleen and kidney yang. In the course of treatment, it is often combined with Schisandra chinensis and Evodia rutaecarpa, and is often used to treat diseases such as deficiency-cold diarrhea.
Psoralea corylifolia can also be used for deficiency asthma caused by renal failure, and it is often used with drugs with isothermal dryness such as cinnamon and ginseng. For external use, it can also treat vitiligo.
In the research of modern medicine, scientists also found that Psoralea corylifolia can dilate coronary arteries, excite the heart and improve the power of the heart, so Psoralea corylifolia can prevent hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can also contract the uterus and reduce the amount of bleeding. In this way, Psoralea corylifolia can be used for postpartum hemorrhage, metrorrhagia and other diseases. External use can cause local skin pigmentation, so Psoralea corylifolia has a certain therapeutic effect on skin diseases.

Although the efficacy of Fructus Psoraleae is varied, the consumption of Fructus Psoraleae is limited. So, what are the taboos of Psoralea corylifolia?
Taboo of Psoralea corylifolia:
"Kaibao Materia Medica" once recorded that Psoralea corylifolia taboo "kidney deficiency nocturnal emission, women's blood-gas abortion." It can be seen that Psoralea corylifolia is not suitable for pregnant women, and it is easy to cause fetal discomfort, which can lead to abortion in severe cases. So pregnant women are forbidden to eat.
Because Psoralea corylifolia has the function of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, it can cause jealousy, dry mouth, bitter taste, nocturnal emission, dry stool, short and astringent urine and other adverse reactions to those with yin deficiency and excessive fire, so it is not suitable for those with yin deficiency and excessive fire to take Psoralea corylifolia.
Psoralea corylifolia has some estrogen-like effects, such as thickening endometrium and contracting uterus, so it should be used with caution for some male friends, especially infertile friends, and some friends with yin deficiency should be very cautious when eating.
Psoralea corylifolia, although its medicinal value is very good, but as the saying goes, "medicine is three points toxic", so be careful when using medicine, don't eat it casually.
