Green Fruit

Introduction

Green fruit, also known as "olive", is named because the fruit can be eaten fresh when it is still green. It is mild in nature, sweet, astringent and sour in taste. It clears away heat, relieves sore throat, promotes fluid production and detoxifies. It is used for sore throat, cough, thirst, fish and crab poisoning, etc. There is a book with the same name "Green Fruit".

Green fruit is also called admonition fruit, because it tastes bitter when first eaten, but after chewing for a long time, it is sweet and delicious with endless aftertaste. It is a metaphor that although loyal advice is unpleasant to the ear, it benefits the people and is good for people's health. Olives are also called "fortune fruit". This name was given by overseas Chinese. This not only shows that Fuzhou has a large production of green fruit in history, but also expresses the attachment of overseas Chinese to their hometown (Fuzhou). This green fruit, called "the fruit of heaven", brings a harmonious and beautiful life like heaven. The preciousness of the green fruit tree is because it is rare. Only with the favor of God can such a precious gift be obtained. Only by working hard and carefully creating quality can a green fruit as precious as a gift from God be created.

Medicinal value of green fruit

①Hypoglycemic effect

Indians have reported that Hainan Syzygium seeds can be used to treat diabetes in clinical practice. Experiments have shown that the alcohol extract of the seeds can

Oral administration of seed alcohol extract to rabbits has a hypoglycemic effect, and its intensity is similar to that of D860 but slightly weaker. Oral administration of seed alcohol extract to alloxan-induced diabetic rats (oral administration at the same time as or 5 days after alloxan injection) for 7 to 27 days can reduce blood sugar to normal, eliminate glycosuria, and improve polyphagia. For normal rats, a single intraperitoneal injection of a small or large amount of the above extract can cause blood sugar to rise first and then fall, while a medium amount can increase blood sugar. Daily intraperitoneal injection of a small amount can also slightly reduce blood sugar. A single oral administration of a large amount does not affect blood sugar levels. If taken orally for 3 consecutive days, blood sugar will first rise slightly or then fall slightly. Subcutaneous injection of water extract to dogs has a significant and lasting hypoglycemic effect, but oral administration has no effect, and bark extract also has no hypoglycemic effect.

②Other functions

Feeding animals with the leaves has a weak estrogen-like effect. The volatile oil of the leaves has an antibacterial effect in vitro. The warm infusion of the fruit has an expectorant effect on rabbits (phenol red method), but has no antitussive effect on mice (ammonia spray coughing method). The isolated guinea pig bronchial perfusion test showed that it had no bronchial dilation effect, and had no antipyretic effect on artificially fevered rabbits. Anesthetized rabbits were orally administered 1-1.25 g/kg of the infusion, and there was no significant effect on the electrocardiogram within 2 hours.
