  Morinda officinalis

  Description:

  Morinda officinalis, commonly known as Ba Ji Tian, is a perennial plant highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine for its root, which is rich in active compounds. These include morindolide, an iridoid lactone, iridoid glucosides such as monotropein and deacetyl asperulosidic acid, anthraquinones, monoterpene glycosides, and sterols like beta-sitosterol. Additionally, the root contains succinic acid, nystose, inulin-type hexasaccharide, and heptasaccharide, while its essential oil comprises compounds such as 1,2-benzedicarboxylic acid, hexadecanoic acid, hexanoic acid, nonanoic acid, aldehydes, alkenes, benzenes, and lactones. Ba Ji Tian is traditionally used to tonify the kidneys, invigorate yang, support bone health, alleviate joint pain, and enhance vitality. Moreover, constituents isolated from Ba Ji Tian have demonstrated antidepressant properties, potentially through increasing serotonergic effects. Laboratory research indicates that its antidepressant effects are linked to oligosaccharides, which impact the brain-derived neurotrophic factor pathway in the medial prefrontal cortex. Commonly prepared as a decoction or in powdered form, Ba Ji Tian continues to be a key component of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Glycyrrhiza uralensis

  Description:

  Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The root of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is often consumed in the form of candy, tea, and supplements. Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.

  Atractylodes macrocephala

  Description:

  Atractylodes is a genus of flowering plants native to eastern Asia, with its roots being used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), traditional Japanese medicine (Kampo), and traditional Thai medicine. It is found in formulations like ninjin-yoei-to and shenling baizhu san. Pharmacokinetic studies show that atractylodin, a major bioactive compound, is absorbed rapidly after oral administration, with peak plasma concentrations reached within 0.5-2 hours. The root contains sesquiterpenoids, sterols, and essential oils, with constituents like atractylenolides and atractylon. These compounds contribute to various purported pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and gastrointestinal effects, but more research is needed for a better understanding of its overall effectiveness in these areas.
