bubble_chart Modern Pharmacology

According to pharmacological studies, this product can inhibit the dissolution of fibrin, promote the bone marrow's production of platelets, shorten bleeding time, and thus achieve hemostatic effects. Domestic and international clinical reports indicate that this product has good efficacy for various types of bleeding. It is also said that this product not only has hemostatic effects for thrombocytopenic purpura, bleeding from aplastic anemia, hemophilia, pseudohemophilia, congenital hereditary telangiectasia bleeding, and thrombasthenia, but also has a certain therapeutic effect on the primary diseases. It is speculated that the hemostatic principle, in addition to the above, may be related to multiple factors such as increasing the quantity of platelets, improving the quality of platelets, enhancing the contraction function of capillaries, and improving defects in coagulation factors. The effective hemostatic components of this product are soluble in water, hence it is effective when decocted and taken. The hemostatic effect of peanut skin is 50 times that of peanut kernels, so attention should be paid to the dosage when using it. This product can be collected from candy factories and oil mills, or peanut bran can be used as a substitute. Peanut leaves can treat insomnia, and the decoction should be taken twice a day, in the morning and evening.
