Different Chinese medicine betel nut and edible betel nut

Many people have such questions. Isn't betel nut a Chinese medicine? Since betel nut is a first -class carcinogen, why can I still get medicine? Yu Weifang, director of the Chinese Pharmaceutical House of the Department of Pharmacy of Ningbo Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that betel nut has a long history as a blind Chinese medicine. Pharmaceutical betel nuts have the effects of insecticidal, accumulation, qi, and water. They mainly kill gastrointestinal parasites such as tapeworms and tapeworms, treat gastrointestinal stagnation, stagnation, abdominal pain and stools, and eliminate edema diseases.

However, it should be noted that the medicinal betel nuts and the type of betel nut on the market are different. Pharmaceutical betel nuts are taken from mature seeds, and betel nuts are used to use immature young fruits. Moreover, the medicinal betel nuts have been prepared by boiled, sliced, and fried before use, and the side effects have been much less. There is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which requires doctors to do syndrome differentiation, and the use time is relatively short.

Physical and chemical damage dual prong

As early as 2003, the World Health Organization Cancer Research Center listed betel nut as a first -class carcinogen. So why are so many people who like such dangerous things?

According to Yu Weifang, betel nut contains more betelne alkali. This substance can stimulate the secretion of endogenous adrenal corticosteroids, make people's heartbeat, face red, and a sense of pleasure, so many people use it to refresh God to refresh the gods. Essence Betel nuts are similar to caffeine, cigarettes, and alcohol, belonging to the fourth type of mental active substances, so you can't stop it once you eat it.

According to reports, it will produce a nitrobilin component when chewing betel nut, which is a first -level carcinogen. The betel nut itself is relatively hard, and the betel nut fiber contains is rough, so eating betel nut often hurts the oral mucosa and teeth. Long -term consumption of betel nut can cause oral damage for a long time without healing, forming chronic damage to local oral cavity, and inducing problems such as chronic inflammation, cell proliferation and even cancer.

If the way cigarettes cause damage to our human body are mainly "chemicals", then the way of betel nut to the human body is "chemical and physical".
