Bletilla striata
Chinese name: Baiji (white mucilaginous root, white chicken), Gangen (sweet root), Baigen (white root), Baijiertou (white hen’s head/ top), Shantianji (mountain frog) Lian Ji Cao. Bak-kup in Hong Kong, Taiwanese (Hokien) dialect: Peh kiu (white ginger) Japanese: Shiran (purple orchid, Japanese Urn Orchid) Korean name: Jaran Vietnamese names: Bach cap; Hua lan tia Bletilla striata, commonly known as Baiji, is distributed in China, Korea, and Japan. Due to its high demand, it is also commercially grown in Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Guangxi, with Guizhou being the largest producer of top-quality Baiji. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Baiji has a taste described as bitter, sweet, and acerbic. Its nature is considered slightly cold, making it beneficial for the lungs, liver, and stomach meridians. In TCM, the tubers of Baiji are recommended to be cut into thin slices or crushed into a fine powder after cleaning and drying. When chewed, they become gluey in texture. The cut surface of the tubers is brittle, translucent-white, and somewhat sticky with a faint odor. The powdered form is slightly yellowish, odorless, and bitter. When mixed with water, the powder turns gluey, so it should be stored in airtight containers. The tubers of Baiji are used in the treatment of swelling and hemorrhage. They have properties that reduce swelling and promote the regeneration of muscle and other tissues. Baiji is given to patients with tuberculosis who cough up blood due to bleeding in bronchiectasis. It also helps with gastric bleeds, bleeding from trauma or burns, bleeding pustules, bleeding ulcers, fissure-in-ano, and skin fissures caused by exposure to cold. Additionally, Baiji is used to treat sores, scaling, and chapped skin. In Vietnam, Baiji is made into an emollient for burns. Baiji contains five antimicrobial agents, including three bibenzyls and two dihydrophenanthrenes. The bibenzyls present in Baiji have compounds such as 4,7-dihydroxy-1-p-hydroxybenzyl-2-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, 3,30-dihydroxy-2060-bis (p-hydroxybenzyl)-5-methoxybibenzyl, and 2,6-bis(p-hydroxybenzyl)-305-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybibenzyl. The two dihydrophenanthrenes found are 3,30-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2,506-tris (p-hydroxybenzyl) bibenzyl and 4,7-dihydroxy-2-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene. Additionally, Baiji contains four active bacterial compounds: p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and cinnamic acid. These compounds show predominant activity against Gram-positive bacteria and certain fungi. Scientists have discovered an antihelminthic substance in the tubers of B. striata growing on the Korean peninsula, which is effective against Clonorchiasis. Clonorchiasis is a disease caused by consuming raw freshwater fish or snails infected with the encysted cercaria of the liver fluke. This disease can lead to various complications, including cholecystitis, bile duct obstruction, cirrhosis of the liver, and an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma. Researchers have also developed a novel gene carrier using bioactive glucomannan, a polysaccharide isolated from B. striata (BSP). In experiments, this gene carrier successfully inhibited the expression of TNF-alpha, and scientists anticipate that it could be capable of delivering antisense nucleotides for anti-inflammatory therapy. Moreover, the conjugated B. striata polysaccharide shows promise as a delivery system for cytotoxic agents to treat tumors. It is even used as an embolization agent for the treatment of unresectable liver tumors. |
