What are the uses of the blackthorn plant?

The article on the Medlatec General Hospital website, with medical consultation from Dr. Duong Ngoc Van, states that the scientific name of Celastrus hindsii Benth is Celastrus hindsii Benth, also known by other names such as: bạch vạn hoa, cây bách giải, cây dây gối.

This is a woody vine that clings to larger trees when growing wild, but when cultivated, its branches intertwine to form clumps. The stem of the blackthorn is round, 3-10m long, light gray and hairless when young, but turns brown and hairy as it matures, gradually turning green.

To date, the main pharmacological effects of the blackthorn plant that have been studied and recorded include:

- Fighting tumors:The polyphenol, flavonoid, and quinon compounds in black sesame have the ability to fight tumor formation, inhibit cancer cell growth, and liquefy them, making them easier to destroy, thereby limiting the possibility of tumor metastasis.

- Antioxidants:All the active compounds in this plant can fight free radicals and reduce their damage to cells.

- Maintain stable blood pressure:Consuming black sesame seeds daily can stabilize blood pressure, especially for those with high blood pressure. For those with low blood pressure, adding a few slices of ginger to black sesame seed drink can help stabilize it.

- Improves liver function and detoxifies the liver:The active compounds in the blackthorn plant can support the treatment of cirrhosis, hepatitis, elevated liver enzymes, and combat secondary liver diseases.

- Improves sleep and appetite:Blackthorn is relatively good for people with physical weakness, frequent insomnia, and anemia. Furthermore, this plant improves blood circulation, helping to treat dizziness and lightheadedness.
