1. Radix
Linderae
Function of the
herb:
-
For treatment of distension with pain in the lower
abdomen due to cold.
-
To warm up the kidney and disperse cold
-
Treats frequent urination and urinary incontinence
along with possible weak low back with cold and
soreness
-
Strengthen the will
1)
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown that
Radix Linderae
contains PEP (Prolyl
endopeptidase) inhibitors that can improve the functions
of proline-containing
neuropeptides, e.g., vasopressin "kidney hormone", substance P, and thyrotropin-releasing
hormone "brain hormone" (TRH). These neuropeptides
are involved in the processes of learning and
memory, renal and other physiological activities.
(Neuropeptides are
neuroactive molecules which helps to coordinate,
integrate, and regulate physiological processes in all
organisms, throughout all phases of development. Acting
as neurohormones, neurotransmitters, and/or
neuromodulators, they maintain physiological homeostasis
and influence important behavioral patterns.)

2)
Clinical studies by European scientists have
shown that the destructions of
neuropeptides, thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) and
arginine-vasopressin (AVP), by
prolyl
endopeptidase
can
be inhibited by PEP (Prolyl
endopeptidase) inhibitors.
PEP
(Prolyl
endopeptidase) inhibitors can be found in plants like
Radix Linderae 69566
3)
Research scientists from Japan said Lindera
strychnifolia, a medicinal plant, has long been used for
the treatment of cardiac, renal and rheumatic diseases.

4) Clinical studies by western scientists have shown that the extract of
Radix Linderae (RL) slowed down the progression of
diabetic nephropathy (disease of the kidney). It
resulted in a better renal function as evaluated by
creatinine clearance (Ccr) and serum creatinine. Kidneys
of the RL extract-treated group showed glomeruli with
greater area and cell population etc.

5)
Research scientists from Japan confirmed Lindera
strychnifolia has
analgesic and anti-inflammatory
action.

6)
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown the
levels of tissue prolyl
endopeptidase (PEP) activity were highest in kidney of adult
rats. 1849/90
7)
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown
that Prolyl
endopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme (enzyme that
digest protein) which could have a neuropeptide
catabolising (destructive) role in the central nervous system.
The activity of the
enzyme was higher in the human than in the rat brain.
Prolyl
endopeptidase enzyme are also found in the kidneys.

2. Fructus
Psoraleae
Function of the
herb:
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown that
Radix
Angelicae Sinensis, Radix
Rubiae and Fructus Psoraleae can improve kidney
functions.
The results before and after treatment showed an evident
difference, with low function before treatment and
normal after treatment.
54885
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown that
Psoralea corylifolia
stimulates bone formation.

3. Fructus
Corni
Function of the
herb:
Clinical
results demonstrate that
Fructus corni can promote a protective
antioxidant defense state by affecting some important
enzymatic and nonenzymatic oxidant-scavenging systems
and may thus be useful for the prevention or treatment
of disorders associated with oxidative damage in the
kidneys.
31(2):221-5
4. Fructus
Rubi
Function of the
herb:
-
Used for treatment of frequent urination
5. Radix
Angelica Sinensis
Function of the
herb:
Clinical studies by western scientists have
shown that
Radix Angelicae Sinensis has hematopoietic
effect (formation
of blood cellular components)
on person suffering from anemia cause by chronic renal
failure.
Therefore result showed that
Radix Angelicae Sinensis
improves kidney functions.
