Patient's question:
I am 28 years old and haven't had a baby yet, but my menstrual cycle has always been unstable. Many people recommend that I try taking Pueraria, but I don't really know what Pueraria is. I've heard it's a health supplement, and it's quite expensive due to its limited availability. It's said that long-term use is good for the body, but I'm not sure if that's true. What kind of help do you need: What are the functions and effects of Pueraria?Doctor's answer:
1., also known as Pueraria starch, has a cooling effect, helps clear heat, stimulates appetite, promotes digestion, and is effective in diuretic and hangover relief. Puerarin extracted from Pueraria has the function of dilating coronary and cerebral arteries, lowering blood pressure, significantly increasing blood supply to ischemic tissues, and has beta-1 receptor blocking effects. It can significantly slow heart failure, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, alleviate myocardial ischemia, limit and reduce the size of myocardial infarction, and has anti-rapid arrhythmia effects. It can also lower cholesterol and blood viscosity, inhibit platelet aggregation, and improve microcirculation.
