Can Gastrodia elata prevent Alzheimer's disease? Experiments provide the answer
Experiments at the China Medical Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Taiwan, China found that Gastrodia elata can improve learning and memory impairment, and besides helping to maintain health, it can also prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease. Since toxicity tests have confirmed it to be non-toxic, the institute plans to develop Gastrodia elata into products similar to pickled cucumbers or health beverages. Hsieh Ming-tsun, president of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Taiwan, China, and Wu Chi-jui, a PhD at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, have recently devoted themselves to research on the effect of Gastrodia elata in improving learning and memory impairment, and found that gastrodin, the main active component in Gastrodia elata, can increase adrenal hormone secretion, increase the body's utilization of blood sugar, and thereby activate brain function.
