Strychnos nux-vomica has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, blood circulation promoting, muscle contraction enhancing, and nerve function improving effects and functions.

1. Analgesia

The alkaloids contained in nux vomica can inhibit the transmission of pain signals, thereby achieving an analgesic effect.

2. Anti-inflammatory

Certain components in nux vomica can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing inflammatory responses such as tissue redness and swelling.

3. Promotes blood circulation

Strychnos nux-vomica can dilate blood vessel walls, increase blood flow, help improve microcirculation disorders, and enhance blood supply.

4. Enhance muscle contraction

Strychnos nux-vomica can stimulate muscle cells to produce excitability, causing muscle fibers to contract rhythmically, thereby enhancing muscle strength.

5. Improves nerve function

Strychnos nux-vomica has a certain excitatory effect on the central nervous system, which can enhance the excitatory process of the cerebral cortex and improve thinking ability.

When using nux vomica, care should be taken not to use too large a dose to avoid poisoning symptoms; pregnant women and breastfeeding women should also use it with caution.
