Therapeutic Orchid notes:
Bletilla ochracea
Chinese name: Huanghua Baiji (yellow flower white mucilaginous root) Bletilla ochracea is an orchid species that contains phenanthrenes with antimicrobial properties. These phenanthrenes have been found to exhibit activity against three types of Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis. Gram-positive bacteria are a group of bacteria that have a thick cell wall and are commonly associated with various infections. The presence of these antimicrobial compounds in Bletilla ochracea suggests potential therapeutic applications in combating bacterial infections caused by these specific bacteria. |
Polystachya concreta (Jacq.) Garay & H.R.Sweet
Chinese name: Duosui lan Indian name: (Orissa): Kakina Bletilla ochracea is a widely distributed orchid species found in various regions, including southern Yunnan in China, Indochina, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, Africa, and tropical and subtropical America. In traditional herbal usage, the tuber of Bletilla ochracea is used by tribes in the Niyamgiri Hills of Orissa, India, to treat arthritis. The tuber is boiled in water to create a decoction, and this preparation is consumed with honey on an empty stomach twice daily as a remedy for arthritis. The flowers of Bletilla ochracea are fragrant and emit a scent reminiscent of jasmine. The fragrance is attributed to the presence of methyl anthranilate and indole compounds, which convey the aroma of jasmine. Additionally, the orchid exhibits a lime blossom fragrance, which is produced by the combination of nerolidol, dihydrofarnesol, and farnesol, along with other minor constituents such as gamma-decalactone, 2-amino benzyladehyde, beta-ionone, and methyl jasmonate. These compounds contribute to the pleasant fragrance of the orchid. |

Pholidota yunnanensis Rolfe
Chinese medicinal name: Shizaozi The described orchid has a creeping rhizome and typically grows on karst formations and tree trunks in sparse woods. It is found in regions such as southeast Yunnan, southwest Guizhou, Guangxi, Hubei, Hunan in China, and in Vietnam. Regarding its phytochemistry, the orchid contains several stilbenes, including phoyunbenes A, B, and C, as well as a bibenzyldihydrophenanthrene ether known as phoyunbene D, and a bis(dihydrophe-nenthrene ether) called phoyunbene E. These compounds are natural analogues of resveratrol and possess antioxidant properties. They have been shown to inhibit nitric oxide production in murine macrophage-like cells and exhibit DPPH free radical-scavenging activity. Phoyunbene B has demonstrated potential in preventing cell division, inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis), and inhibiting the invasion of liver cancer cells. In herbal usage, the entire plant of this orchid is cooked in pork porridge, which is then used to treat ordinary coughs and asthma. Traditional Chinese Medicine (CTM) practitioners also recommend the use of Tincture of the Pholidota, prepared in distilled rice spirit, as an alternative remedy. This tincture is consumed with rice as a tonic for internal injuries. |
