Description: Yan Hu Suo - Corydalis Yanhusuo: For collectors of Chinese medicine, this should be interesting!Concentrated Granules100 grams, 3.5 OuncesMade by E-Fong From China Hi! I’m no doctor of Chinese medicine, but I came into a case of this Yan Hu Suo. I saw that others sell it on eBay so I put up my listing too, only cheaper! At the moment, I have twelve of them. They’ve been in a dry home, in a drawer, for a while. I have no idea of their efficacy, but the bottles are all sealed. They have a plastic outer wrap- and about half have a plastic spoon attached- and the top is vacuum packed and therefore hermetically sealed. Apparently the tea you are supposed to make out of this powdered tuber tastes very bad. Also, NOT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR CONDITION AND DESCRIPTION. WHAT YOU SEE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU GET. If you are interested in the whole lot of 12, talk to me. I’m sure we can come to an agreement. Please look at all the photos before buying, sales are final. Thanks for looking! The more you order, the cheaper it gets. Ask any questions you may have, though please understand that I’ve never opened a bottle or used any. Cheers! History: Yanhusuo is first mentioned in Ben Cao Shi Yi (Omissions from the Materia Medica), written by Chen Cang-Qi in 720 CE. Corydalis yanhusuo is a plant species in the genus Corydalis. The Chinese name for Corydalis yanhusuo is yan hu suo (Chinese: 延胡索; pinyin: yán hú suǒ; lit. 'extended barbarian rope'). The Japanese common name is engosaku (エンゴサク) and the Korean common name is hyeonhosaek (현호색). English common names include yanhusuo, corydalis, and Asian corydalis. The tuber of this plant, frequently mislabeled as the root, is an important therapeutic agent in traditional Chinese medicine. It is native to high-altitude grasslands across China including in the provinces of Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, but is more widely cultivated. Pain Relief: A member of the poppy family, Corydalis yanhusuo is one of traditional Chinese medicine’s chief herbs for relieving pain. The rhizome is used. Like many Chinese herbs, it is traditionally taken as an aqueous extract (i.e., decocted as tea, although it is also given as tincture [1:3 to 1:5]) or in pill or capsule form. Substitution of other species of Corydalis for C. yanhusuo is not recommended because their actions appear to differ. Its primary active constituents are alkaloids, including berberine, corydaline, and tetrahydropalmatine. Various studies have compared Corydalis extracts to morphine and findings vary, indicating that they have from 1% to 40% the analgesic effect of morphine. From Amazon.com: Customers like the quality and pain relief of the health personal care product. They mention it works really well and is worth a trial. They also say it does relieve pain and is a good product to use to supplement pain management. However, some customers have reported that the taste is very bitter and does not make the most delicious drink. Chemical compounds: The alkaloid dehydrocorybulbine (DHCB) can be extracted from the roots of the plant. Tetrahydropalmatine is another major constituent alkaloid. Corydalis yanhusuo also contains the alkaloids glaucine and palmatine. It also contains the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor corydaline. N-Methyltetrahydroprotoberberines have been isolated from C. yanhusuo. Chinese Herb Actions: Moves Qi and Blood, Relieves Pain, Reduces Masses Important herb for pain off all types.
