What is the function of mulberry leaves?

Mulberry leaves have the effects of dispelling wind, clearing lung, moistening dryness, calming liver, improving eyesight, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. It is suitable for patients with exogenous wind-heat, damp heat constitution, and liver-yin deficiency, and the taboo population is pregnant women, menstrual period, deficiency cold and excess cold syndrome.

Efficacy details:

1. Lowering blood pressure: Quercetin in mulberry leaves can dilate coronary vessels and improve myocardial circulation. γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, which can promote brain tissue metabolism and brain cell function recovery, improve cerebral blood flow, enhance the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme ⅰ, and promote blood pressure reduction.

2. Lowering blood lipid: Mulberry leaves can lower blood lipid, and Mulberry leaf extract can inhibit the increase of blood lipid and atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemia.

3. Anticoagulation: Mulberry leaves can prolong the coagulation time of whole blood in vivo, and prolong the time of activating partial thromboplastin, prothrombin and thrombin in plasma.

4. Anti-tumor: Mulberry leaves can inhibit chromosomal mutation's diseases and gene mutation, improve human immunity and prevent cancer cell formation. The main functional components are DNJ, flavonoids, morin, γ -aminobutyric acid and vitamins. In addition, DNJ produces immature sugar chains on the surface of tumor cells by inhibiting the activity of glycosidase, which weakens the metastatic ability of tumor.

5. Anti-aging: Quercetin, phenolic compounds, vitamin C and other components contained in mulberry leaves can prevent oxidative damage by inhibiting or scavenging free radicals, effectively remove superoxide anions produced by biological oxidation, and have the effect of delaying aging.

6. Bacteriostasis: Mulberry leaf juice has a good inhibitory effect on most Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and some yeasts, and the required bacteriostatic concentration is low, the pH value range is wide, and the thermal stability is strong.

7. Detoxification: DNJ minerals contained in mulberry leaves can relax the bowels and effectively relieve the accumulation of toxins in the body.

Extended data:

Mulberry leaves, mainly produced in Zhejiang, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other places, are dry leaves of mulberry trees. Mulberry leaves can disperse wind and heat, clear lung and calm liver, and improve eyesight.
