Echinacea extract, as a natural plant extract with extensive medicinal value, has been widely used in many cultures and traditional medicine since ancient times. This extract is of great interest because it contains a variety of active ingredients, such as polyphenols, caffeic acid derivatives and polysaccharides, which give it unique medicinal properties. In this paper, the medicinal value and unique features of Echinacea extract will be deeply discussed, and its positive effects on human health will be analyzed from multiple perspectives.
As people age, the number of white blood cells in the body gradually decreases, leading to a weakening of the body's resistance to external pathogens. The unique feature of echinacea extract is that it can increase the number of granulocytes and white blood cells in the body, improve the chemotaxis of monocytes and neutrophil viruses and produce bacteriolytic effects, thus enhancing human immunity. This immune-boosting effect allows the body to more effectively fight off the invasion of various bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of infection.
The active ingredients in Echinacea extract stimulate hydrocarbon receptors on the surface of lymphocytes and macrophages, producing immune stimulation. This stimulation can increase the phagocytosis ability of macrophages, and then stimulate macrophages to increase the number of tumor necrosis factor, interferon, and leukocyte interleukin. These bioactive substances can destroy tumor cells, thus playing a role in cancer prevention and anticancer. In addition, echinacea extract can also improve the activity of non-specific T cells, produce interferon, promote the secretion of lymphocytes, and further enhance the anti-tumor ability of the body.
Cell activity is one of the important indicators of human health. The polysaccharide component of Echinacea extract can stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and promote the secretion of adrenocortical hormone, thus improving the cell activity. This effect helps to maintain the normal metabolism and function of cells, delay cell aging, and maintain the vitality and health of the body.
The anti-infection effect of echinacea extract is particularly important for patients before and after surgery and those who are susceptible to infection. The polysaccharide component can inhibit the activity of hyaluronidase (hyaluronidase), stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and the synthesis of glucosinase, and produce corticosterone effects. These effects help to promote the secretion of adrenal corticosteroids, which in turn play an anti-infection role. In addition, the active ingredients in echinacea extract can also enhance the phagocytosis ability of macrophages, further destroying pathogens and reducing the symptoms of infection.
Echinacea extract contains hyaluronidase, which has antiviral activity properties. This component can inhibit the activity of pathogens such as influenza, herpes and blistering viruses, blocking viral receptors on the cell surface, and thus acting as an antiviral. This antiviral effect gives echinacea extract a unique advantage in the prevention and treatment of viral infectious diseases.
The polysaccharide component in Echinacea extract stimulates the growth of fibroblasts and promotes the secretion of adrenal corticosteroids, thus contributing to tissue renewal and wound healing. This has a positive effect on the healing of wounds such as skin wounds, burns, ulcers, and can accelerate the healing process of wounds and reduce the formation of scars.
To sum up, the unique medicinal value of echinacea extract lies in its multi-faceted pharmacological effects. It can enhance human immunity, prevent cancer, improve cell activity, resist infection, antiviral, and promote tissue renewal and wound healing. These unique features make echinacea extract have a wide application prospect in medicine, health care products and animal health. However, although the medicinal value of echinacea extract is well recognized, it is still necessary to follow the advice and guidance of a doctor when using it to ensure that its medicinal effects are safe and effective.
