Core Tip

Core Tip: Bletilla striata has shown notable effects in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Clinical studies indicate that it can not only alleviate ulcer symptoms but also promote ulcer healing and enhance patients’ quality of life. The mechanisms of action of Bletilla striata and its traditional Chinese medicine compound formulations require further investigation and are believed to involve multiple processes, including anti-inflammatory activity, antioxidant effects, and promotion of gastric mucosal repair.
