Cyrtosia septentrionalis (Rchb. f.) Garay
Syn. Galeola septentrionalis Rchb. f. Chinese name: Xue hong rou guo lan Chinese medicinal name: Shanshanhu Japanese name: Tsuchi-akebi, Dutuusoo Cyrtosia septentrionalis, also known as Galeola septentrionalis, is an orchid species found in shaded and sparse understory areas of forests. Due to limited insect pollinators in its habitat, this orchid has evolved an effective self-pollinating system. Phytochemistry: Various chemical compounds have been isolated from Cyrtosia septentrionalis, including several glycosides and eight phenolic derivatives. Some of the identified compounds are 2,4-bis(4-hydroxybenzyl) phenol, bis4(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-benzyl- (-)-2-isopropylmalate, bis4-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzyl- (-)-2-sec-butylmalate, 4-hydroxybenzylaldehyde, 4,40-dihydroxydiphenyl-methane, 4-hydroxybenzylalcohol, 4-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzyl alcohol (also known as gastrodin), and 5-methoxy-3-(2-[phenyl-E-ethenyl)-2,4-bis(4-hydroxybenzyl)phenol. Herbal Usage: In traditional herbal medicine, Cyrtosia septentrionalis is used to treat stiffness or spasms of the muscles. A paste made from the whole plant mixed with vegetable oil is applied to treat sores and fungal infections of the skin with ulceration. Additionally, the fruit of the plant, when prepared in decoction with liquorice, is used to treat gonorrhea. In Japan, decoction of the root of Galeola septentrionalis was historically used to treat gonorrhea. The ash produced by burning the plant was utilized as a hair tonic for scalp conditions. As with any herbal remedy, it is important to use Cyrtosia septentrionalis under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure appropriate dosage and safety. It is also essential to be aware of potential interactions with other medications or medical conditions.

Dendrobium capillipes Rchb. f.
Chinese name: Duanbang Shihu Dendrobium capillipes is an orchid species found in various regions, including Nepal, Northeast India, Yunnan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Phytochemistry: Dendrobium capillipes contains a compound called scoparone (6,7-dimethoxycoumarin), which has been studied for its potential effects on blood vessels. Scoparone has vasodilatory effects on the rat aorta, meaning it relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow. Apart from its effects on blood vessels, scoparone also exhibits other biological activities. It can stimulate white blood cells (lymphocytes) to undergo rapid replication and is used in the laboratory for chromosomal analysis. On the other hand, scoparone suppresses the response of human mononuclear cells, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system response. Additionally, scoparone stimulates dopamine biosynthesis by PC12 cells, which are nerve cells derived from a rat adrenal medulla tumor (pheochromocytoma). Dopamine is an essential neurotransmitter in the brain, and its deficiency is associated with neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease. Herbal Usage: In traditional herbal medicine, Dendrobium capillipes is used as shihu, referring to its classification as an orchid species in Chinese herbal medicine. As with any medicinal plant, the use of Dendrobium capillipes should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. While some compounds in the plant may show promising effects in research, their safety and efficacy in humans need further investigation. It's essential to understand that traditional herbal remedies should not be considered a substitute for medical treatment or advice from healthcare professionals.
