Morinda
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.

Cornus
Description:Cornus florida, or flowering dogwood, is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for its showy white or pink spring flowers. Its bark is rarely used in medicine. The tree grows 15-30 feet tall with a spreading crown and red berries in late summer, attracting birds. Its oval leaves turn vibrant red in autumn. Popular in landscaping for its beauty and adaptability, Cornus florida's bark may have antiparasitic effects, including antimalarial properties comparable to quinine and sulfadiazine. It also destroys snails carrying the tropical parasite Schistosoma. A methanol extract of its bark can inhibit heart activity, even stopping the heartbeat at high doses. The use of American dogwood in dietary supplements is uncommon.

Atractylodes
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.
