Boat-fruited Sterculia is a dry and mature seed of deciduous tree Boat-fruited Sterculia. This medicine was first seen in Compendium of Materia Medica, commonly known as Dafa. Because of boiling water, it cracked and expanded, almost filling the whole cup, hence the name.
Chinese medicine believes that boat-fruited Sterculia is cold and sweet, which has two major effects. One is to clear lung qi, which can be used for acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by wind-heat invading the lung, such as fever, sore throat, dry mouth and dry cough when catching a cold; The second is to clear the bowels and relieve constipation caused by excessive internal heat.
The following conditions are not suitable for boat-fruited Sterculia: First, the constitution of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold is manifested as loss of appetite, cold pain in the abdomen, warm and pressure, and thin stool. At this time, taking boat-fruited Sterculia is easy to cause diarrhea and damage vitality; Second, cough and sore throat caused by cold and cold, manifested as aversion to cold, physical weakness, cough with white phlegm; Third, the cough caused by lung yin deficiency is also characterized by dry cough without phlegm and hoarseness, but this situation is mostly a chronic respiratory disease.

Modern pharmacological research also proves that boat-fruited Sterculia is not suitable for long-term use.
Phytochemical research found that the outer layer of seed of Sterculia lychnophoroides contains tragacanth mucin, and the pericarp contains galactose, pentose and other components. Another study shows that boat-fruited Sterculia can promote small intestine peristalsis and produce mild diarrhea, so people with bad stomach should not take it for a long time; The drug also has the effect of lowering blood pressure, so people with normal or low blood pressure may be at risk of hypotension if they take it for a long time; In addition, the water extracts of the shell, soft shell and nut of boat-fruited Sterculia have certain analgesic effects, among which the nut has the strongest effect, and its analgesic principle is unknown, but it is certain that taking boat-fruited Sterculia for a long time is also potentially dangerous.
Animal pharmacological toxicity experiments also show that boat-fruited Sterculia has certain toxicity. Its nuts (fat-removed dry powder) can cause dyspnea and dyskinesia in animals; The experimental dog will die if it is taken in large quantities continuously, and pulmonary congestion and edema can be seen at autopsy.
