Research Findings
- Gastrodin, an active component of tall gastrodia tuber, promotes the secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, contributes to the recovery of neurological function, and protects neural cells against injury.[1]
- Ethanol extract of Gastrodiae rhizoma induced proliferation and neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells, suggesting its potential benefits on neural stem cell-based therapies and neuroregeneration in various neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries.[2]
- Gastrodiae Rhizoma treatment exerts an effective inhibition of diverse diseases and disorders, including convulsion, oxidative stress, mental disorders, amnesia, cardio-cerebral-vascular diseases, and inflammation, among others.[3]
- Gastrodiae Rhizoma ethanol extract enhances pentobarbital-induced sleeping behaviors and increased rapid eye movement via the activation of γ-aminobutyric acid- ergic transmission in rodents.[4]
Cautions
No Data.
Report on adverse effect
Urticaria, drug eruption [5]
