Description Red sage is a hardy, deciduous, perennial flowering plant that normally grows about 80 to 100 cm tall. The whole plant is covered with dense yellowish pubescence and glandular hairs. The plant is found growing in hillsides, stream sides, forests, light woodland, clearings and sunny sides of hills in the west and southwest provinces of China. The plant prefers moist, sandy and well-drained soil and full or half sun. Roots are long, thin, cylindrical, and covered with earthy red skin. Stems have four prisms and branch on upper part. The herb is propagated by root division in spring. The root is harvested from late autumn through to early spring. Leaves Leaves are simple, opposite and with odd pinnate. Petiole is 1.3-7.5 cm, densely retrorse villous, petiolule 2-14 mm. Leaflets are about 3-7 and are 1.5-8 cm long and 1-4 cm wide, blades or leaflets are circular to broadly lanceolate, pilose, densely so abaxially, margin crenate and apex acute to acuminate. Both surfaces of the leaves are covered densely with white pubescence. Flower The inflorescence is terminal and axillary verticillaster, with 3 to 10 flower each round and an alienated raceme arranged by many rounds of flowers and covered with hairs and sticky glands. Flowers grow in whorls, with light purple to lavender blue corollas that are nearly 2.5 cm (0.082 ft.) long, with a dark purple calyx. Flowering normally takes place from June to September. Fruits Fertile flowers are followed by 3.2 mm long and 1.5 mm wide, oblong nutlets that are dark brown or black when ripe, and wrapped in persistent calyx. Health benefits Danshen is a powerful herb with a lot of properties that could improve your health. It is presently going through trials and may even become the first traditional Chinese remedy to gain approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Below are some of the well-known benefits of Red Sage 1. Prevents Heart attack The whole herb (rather than isolated constituents) has been used in China to assist patients who are recovering from a heart attack, and it appears to support heart function at this critical time. Clinical research in China, however, has shown that Red sage is most effective when taken as a preventive, rather than as a remedy after the heart attack has taken place. (1) 2. Circulatory stimulant Red sage has been honored by the Chinese for thousands of years as a circulatory stimulant. Like hawthorn, it is a safe effective remedy for many circulatory problems. It mostly benefits the coronary circulation, opening up the arteries and improving blood flow to the heart, and is thus supportive in treating coronary heart disease. Although it does not lower blood pressure, it relaxes the blood vessels and improves circulation throughout the body. 3. Circulatory congestion Red sage is used traditionally to treat conditions caused by blood stagnation, mainly those affecting the lower abdomen, such as absent or painful menstrual periods and fibroids. 4. Sedative The sedative action of Red sage helps calm the nerves, and it is thus helpful in treating angina, a condition made worse by anxiety and worry. Palpitations, insomnia, and irritability also benefit from Red sage's sedative properties. 5. Cooling herb Red sage is a soothing remedy that is used to remove "excess heat," mostly in the heart and liver. It can also relieve inflammatory skin problems, such as abscesses, boils, and sores. 6. Improve Osteoporosis Clinical trials involving red sage show that it has effectively targeted osteoporosis. It's supposed that the herb provides strong compounds targeting specific pathways in bone resorption and bone formation. 7. Neuro protective Effects Research has displayed that acute treatment with herbal extracts containing red sage and cacao has neuro protective effects in stroke models. When stroke animals received red sage and cacao extracts, they showed a significant reduction in ischemic cell death and better performance in routine motor and neurological tasks. 8. Menstruation and Fertility Salvia miltiorrhiza is commonly taken for menstrual problems like irregular bleeding. There isn't actually much hard evidence that it has an effect. It just hasn't really been studied, so most of the evidence relies on clinical use in traditional medicine and not on severe trials.(2), (3) Danshen also has estrogen-like effects in rats, which may help improve menopause symptoms.(4) 9. Bone Health Studies in rodents suggest that compounds in Red sage might allow bones to heal from fractures more quickly. The herb also prevents bone loss in menopausal rats.(5), (6), (7) 10. Heals Wounds Research has shown that it consists of anti-microbial properties too. These anti-microbial properties can be beneficial to humans and plants alike, since Red sage root could be manufactured into a natural protection for agricultural crops. The tested Red sage root compound demonstrated antimicrobial properties against eight bacterial species and one fungal species.(8), (9) 11. Antibacterial and Insecticidal Activity Red sage kills certain species of bacteria, including bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, in dishes. Moreover, it was used to make a silver-based compound that can kill both bacteria and the mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus.(10), (11), (12) 12. Reduces Risks of Ischemic Stroke Two clinical researches have demonstrated that Red sage root, when combined with other traditional Chinese medicines, can reduce the rate of ischemic stroke as well as the mortality of strokes. Ischemic stroke occurs due to blood clots and is the most common type of stroke in older adults. Red sage extract, combined with other traditional herbs, treat the convalescent phase of ischemic stroke (after the stroke has occurred). (13) Red sage root is also believed to help prevent stroke recurrence. Naoxintong capsule, which consists of Red sage root, is in Phase IV of clinical trials. The capsule is effective at preventing the recurrence of strokes after the first stroke and decreasing the negative impacts of strokes. These studies, combined with the heart medication studies, show that Red sage root is coming to be recognized as a powerful ingredient in Western medicine.(14) 13. Treats Liver Fibrosis Research has shown that Red sage root is an effective treatment for liver fibrosis, which is the buildup of scar tissue, due to hepatitis B. Over time, scar tissue can prevent the blood infusion in the liver, hardening the cells. Red sage root compound called salvianolic acid B was shown to inhibit the production of cells, called LX-2, that become scar tissue. Fibrosis has varying levels of severe ness with cirrhosis as the most severe. Applying Red sage compounds during the less severe stages could help prevent degeneration into severe cirrhosis. (15) 14. Improves Vision for Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical trial is presently recruiting patients for testing the effects of Red sage root in treating poor vision and blindness, which can stem from diabetes. Degeneration of vision is often caused by bulging or leaking blood vessels. Though this study is evaluating a non-heart condition, the study demonstrates that Red sage root is capable of treating blood-based disorders in other areas of the body.(16) 15. Relieves Menstrual Cramps Red sage root has been used to treat menstrual cramps for millennia in China; the treatment may soon be available in the United States as well. Red sage root promotes a healthy menstrual cycle when sharp fixed pain and clotting of the blood occur, another form of 'blood stagnation.'" Research is presently underway examining the efficacy of treatments from two different areas in China. If approved, a Red sage based menstrual drug would be a more natural alternative to Midol.(17) |
