The function of cicada flower
Studies at home and abroad show that cicada flower has multiple effects of improving immunity, resisting fatigue, protecting kidney, improving sleep, resisting tumor, protecting liver, resisting radiation and improving eyesight, and it is a magical ancient Chinese medicine. The cultured cicada flower contains mannitol 2. 18%, polysaccharide 2 1.73%, amino acid 19.76%, cordycepin 0.005% and adenosine 0.05%, which is similar to natural cordyceps sinensis, but no toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury and lead are detected. Therefore, cicada flower can be used as a substitute for Cordyceps sinensis, and it can also achieve the function of nourishing and preserving health. The mycelium of cicada flower was produced by artificial fermentation and polysaccharide was extracted from it. Taking Cordyceps polysaccharide as positive control and Grifola frondosa polysaccharide as reference test, lymphocyte transformation test, Ea and E rose test and specific immune rose test (macrophage phagocytosis test, anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibody titer test) were carried out on mice. The results showed that polysaccharide from cicada flower had obvious effect on improving immune function.

The clinical application of Professor Chen Yiping from Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Director Derek lv from the Department of Internal Medicine confirmed that the cicada flower has the functions of reducing serum and urine creatinine, increasing endogenous creatinine clearance rate, increasing serum protein content and reducing urinary protein excretion. Therefore, it is effective for patients with chronic renal insufficiency in the early and middle stages. Further research confirmed that cicada flower has a good effect on tubulointerstitial lesions, which can protect renal tubular cells Na+-K+-ATPase, reduce lysosomal injury and lipid peroxidation, improve renal hemodynamics, and reduce endothelial cell injury and coagulation function. Therefore, it is considered that cicada flower can improve renal function.

Cicada is suitable for people.

1, cicada flower is suitable for people: the elderly with low immunity, such as dyspnea, pulmonary fibrosis, angiosclerosis, various liver diseases, various kidney diseases, heart failure, impotence, fear of cold, dry skin, impatience, insomnia, tumor, metabolic syndrome, lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, prostatitis, and colds, and people with postpartum weakness and sub-health.

2, cicada flower is not suitable for the crowd: patients with rheumatoid arthritis should take less, children, pregnant women and lactating women, people with colds, fever and cerebral hemorrhage should not eat, and those with real fire or evil winners should not use it.

The mechanism of action of cordycepin is that it has a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of mouse tumor cell lines. Cordycepin can penetrate into RNA and phosphorylate into 3 ˊ-ATP in cells, which will inevitably lead to obstacles in the absorption and maturation of mRNA and affect the synthesis of protein, thus achieving the effect of inhibiting tumors. Cordyceps sinensis has a strong inhibitory effect on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KD) cells.

The clinical use of cordycepin is mostly adjuvant therapy for malignant tumors, and the symptoms are improved by more than 9 1.7%. It is mainly used for patients with malignant tumors such as nasal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia and brain cancer. The content of cordycepic acid in Cordyceps militaris is 3.09 g, and that in wild Cordyceps militaris is 5.54 g.. Cordyceps acid is a kind of D- mannitol, which can increase the osmotic pressure of plasma and make the water in the tissue enter the blood vessels, thus reducing tissue edema and replenishing plasma.

Cordyceps acid is mostly used for brain edema, preventing and treating acute renal failure, regulating heart, brain and blood vessels, promoting metabolism, improving microcirculation, lowering blood lipid and blood pressure. The content of Cordyceps polysaccharide in Cordyceps militaris is 12.8g, while that in the wild is 7.0g The mechanism of action of Cordyceps polysaccharide in human body is: promoting the proliferation and differentiation of T lymphocytes, macrophages and leukocytes, producing various immune active factors, promoting the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow stem cells and germ cells, and promoting the metabolism and blood circulation of cardiac and brain cells.

Pharmacological tests of Cordyceps polysaccharide show that Cordyceps polysaccharide has the functions of anti-tumor, anti-infectious diseases, enhancing sexual function, tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, benefiting qi, resisting aging and prolonging life. Has obvious curative effect on senile chronic bronchitis and pulmonary heart disease. It can improve the detoxification ability of the liver and help the liver. Lowering blood sugar and blood fat is used by anemia patients to enrich blood and enhance the nutritional blood flow of spleen. Cordyceps polysaccharide has strong biological activity and wide adaptability, and also has the effects of hypoxia tolerance, analgesia and sedation.

Golden cicada flower is sweet in taste, cold in nature, and has the function of nourishing liver and improving eyesight. It is suitable for floaters, cataracts, night blindness and blurred vision.

Materials: cicada flower 1 2, yam 22/2, wolfberry fruit 1 2, sheep liver 1 2 and 5 candied dates.
