The Chinese Pharmacology Dictionary states that it "specializes in nourishing the qi and fluid of the lungs and stomach, and when the qi and fluid are prosperous, the kidney water is naturally produced." It is said that it is good at nourishing yin and producing body fluid, and treating various symptoms of yin deficiency and body fluid deficiency.

2. Enhance physical fitness

Dendrobium has the function of nourishing yin and blood. The "Materia Medica" of the Qing Dynasty said that Dendrobium can replenish the kidney and accumulate essence, nourish stomach yin, and increase qi and strength; Dendrobium contains rich polysaccharides. Experiments have shown that Dendrobium polysaccharides have the effect of enhancing immune function and can enhance the phagocytic ability of peritoneal macrophages on chicken red blood cells.

3. Nourishes the spleen and stomach

Dendrobium is a medicine that benefits the stomach and produces body fluid. It is recorded in "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and "Bencao Zaixin". People call it "gastrointestinal medicine" and it is a commonly used medicine for treating epigastric pain and upper abdominal distension. Modern experiments have confirmed that Dendrobium has a good inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori, a common pathogen in spleen and stomach diseases, and is helpful in treating Helicobacter pylori diseases such as atrophic gastritis, superficial gastritis, and duodenal ulcer.

4. Protect liver and promote bile secretion

Dendrobium has a good choleretic effect. Doctors of all dynasties have believed that "Dendrobium candidum" has the effect of nourishing liver yin and is an important medicine for treating various liver and gallbladder diseases. It can be used to treat hepatitis, cholecystitis, gallstones and other liver and gallbladder diseases.

5. Strengthen muscles and bones

After people enter middle age, "the human yin energy is halved" (Zhu Danxi). The body's yin essence begins to weaken, and the muscle and bone functions gradually decline. Dendrobium can nourish the yin fluid, and the yin fluid can lubricate the joints, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, facilitating joints, and enhancing resistance to rheumatism. Modern pharmacological research shows that Dendrobium can improve stress resistance and has good anti-fatigue and hypoxia resistance effects.

Experimental results show that Dendrobium can significantly improve blood stasis symptoms, lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and can treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

7. Lowers blood sugar

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of diabetes is mainly based on kidney yin deficiency and early heat of the lungs and stomach, and its pathological characteristics are deficiency of both qi and yin. Dendrobium can nourish yin, clear away heat and moisten dryness, and has been a special medicine for the treatment of diabetes since ancient times. Clinical studies have shown that Dendrobium can not only enhance insulin activity, but also significantly lower blood sugar levels and restore blood sugar to normal.
