Enhancing immunity

Oral-feeding pachman to mice (250, 500, 1000mg/kg) daily for seven consecutive days enhances the phagocytic function of macrophage of both healthy and cancerous mice.(12)

Diuretic effect

Administering alcohol-based extract of this herb to rabbits at 0.5g/kg daily for five consecutive days shows a diuretic effect.(13),(14)

Calming effect

Administered at the dosages of 5, 10, 20g/kg, the water decoction of fushen, a variation of this herb (with pine roots growing into it), counteracts the caffeine-induced excitation in mice.(15)
