Deer tail also has kidney-tonifying pills? What effects does deer tail have on the human body?

We all know that velvet antlers have the function of nourishing the kidneys, but do you know what the deer tail has? In fact, deer tail also has the function of nourishing the kidneys. Let's take a look!

Nutritional value of deer tail:

Strengthens the waist and spine, and benefits the kidney essence. Used for waist and spine pain that cannot be flexed and extended, spermatorrhea, nourishes and strengthens, benefits the essence and replenishes the deficiency, strengthens the kidney and replenishes blood. It can treat back pain, dizziness and tinnitus. Efficacy: Strengthens the physique, replenishes the kidney and blood, promotes metabolism, treats impotence and spermatorrhea, dizziness and tinnitus; strengthens the muscles and bones, and benefits the qi and blood. Used for physical weakness, mental fatigue, soreness and weakness of the waist and legs, dizziness, kidney deficiency and cold essence, decreased libido, frequent urination at night, forgetfulness and insomnia, fear of cold and cold limbs, palpitations and fever, headache and insomnia, thirst, frequent urination at night, etc.

Pharmacological action:

Effects on the cardiovascular system:

Experiments on blood pressure, isolated hearts and blood vessels of various animals have shown that large doses of velvet antler essence can reduce the amplitude of cardiac contraction, slow down the heart rate, dilate peripheral blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Medium doses of velvet antler essence can significantly enhance the activity of the isolated heart, increase the amplitude of cardiac contraction and speed up the heart rate, resulting in increased cardiac output per beat and per minute, and more obvious recovery of the fatigued heart. It can restore the rhythm of an irregular isolated heart to normal. Small doses of velvet antler essence have no significant effect on the cardiovascular system. Oral administration of velvet antler essence can make the pulse full, increase blood pressure and make heart sounds stronger in chronic circulatory disorders accompanied by hypotension. The results of in vitro experiments show that when the concentration of velvet antler essence in the perfusion fluid is 10-5g/kg, it has a mild inhibitory effect on the contraction of the guinea pig atrium; when the dose is 100μm/heart, it has a transient mild inhibition on the movement and heart rate of the isolated rabbit heart, but has no obvious effect on the coronary flow. There are also reports that when the isolated rat heart is perfused with Rockwell's solution containing 0.5-1% velvet antler essence, the coronary flow can be increased, the systolic amplitude can be increased, and the heart rate can be slowed down. The overall experiment shows that giving velvet antler essence 0.5-5mg/kg to anesthetized cats can cause a transient decrease in blood pressure, which recovers after 2 minutes.

Effects on the nervous system:

2.1. Effect on the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia: Injection of 5 mg/1 kg of velvet antler extract or 100 μm/kg of acetylcholine into the lingual artery of anesthetized cats induced the same degree of contraction of the nictitating membrane. This direct effect on the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia could be inhibited by the ganglion blocking agent hexahydroquaternary amine.

2.2. Effect on EEG: 5-10 minutes after rabbits were injected with 3mg/kg of velvet antler essence through the ear vein, fast waves appeared in the motor cortex, visual cortex and amygdala, while continuous high-amplitude waves appeared in the hippocampus. When the dose was increased to 5mg/kg, 40 minutes after administration, fast waves appeared in the motor cortex, visual area and amygdala, while high-amplitude arousal waves appeared in the hippocampus, and no obvious EEG changes were observed in the hypothalamus.

Enhancement effect:

Deer antler essence can improve the body's working ability, improve sleep and appetite, and reduce muscle fatigue. Deer antler can significantly increase the oxygen consumption of rats' brain, liver, kidney and other tissues. Adding 25% or 50% of deer antler to the feed can make mice gain weight faster. For healthy and mature rabbits, after a certain period of time, after oral administration of a certain amount of deer antler powder or injection of deer antler extract, red blood cells, hemoglobin and reticulocytes can be seen to increase. Large doses can promote the regeneration of blood cells, especially red blood cells. Rats were gavaged with 0.4, 0.5, 2.0g/kg of red deer antler for 14-15 days, which had a significant effect of increasing body weight. Oral deer antler essence has a certain strengthening effect on general weakness, long-term illness and fatigue.

Impact on trauma:

Deer antler essence can enhance the regeneration process of ulcers and wounds that are difficult to heal and regenerate for a long time, and can promote the healing of fractures. Deer antler essence can improve abnormal brain waves, suppressed glycolysis, and reduced cervical medullary phosphokinase, glycerophosphokinase, and transaminase in rabbits with head and neck injuries. Deer antler essence has a significant enhancement effect on the anaerobic glycolysis of the injured rabbit diencephalon, brainstem reticular formation, neck and thoracic spinal cord, and also accelerates the recovery of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the above-mentioned parts of the injured rabbit.
