The efficacy of plantain leaf porridge

1. Diuretic effect

Normal people take 10g of Plantago seed decoction orally, which has a diuretic effect, but the total volume of the decoction and the amount of water taken per day are not recorded, lacking strict control.

The decoction of plantain seeds has no obvious diuretic effect. Plantago asiatica seeds also have no diuretic effect.

2. Effect on joint capsule

When a small amount of Plantago decoction is injected into the rabbit knee joint cavity multiple times, synovial inflammation occurs first, followed by connective tissue hyperplasia, so it is possible to restore the original tension of the relaxed joint capsule. It can be used clinically for temporomandibular joint subluxation. The seeds of Indian oviparous Plantagoovata contain a large amount of mucilage, which can be used as a bulk laxative and has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol in humans. Alcohol extracts can lower the blood pressure of anesthetized dogs and cats, inhibit isolated rabbit hearts and frog hearts, excite the intestines of rabbits, rats and guinea pigs, and can be inhibited by atropine, so it is believed to have a cholinergic effect. 5% Plantago decoction 0.05-0.2ml injected into the rabbit knee joint cavity can promote the hyperplasia of the synovial connective tissue of the joint capsule, thereby restoring the original tension of the relaxed joint capsule. Plantago decoction does not show a diuretic effect on normal humans, rabbits, and rats.
