Uncaria rhynchophylla
TCM herb used to calm liver wind and clear heat; used with Tian Ma for headache, dizziness, hypertension, and epilepsy.
Gou Teng (Uncaria rhynchophylla) is a traditional Chinese herb used to calm liver wind and clear heat, commonly employed for hypertension, headaches, dizziness, and epilepsy. Modern research indicates antihypertensive, neuroprotective, antiepileptic, and anxiolytic effects, primarily attributed to oxindole alkaloids such as rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline.
Rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline act as non-competitive antagonists at NMDA receptors, reducing excitotoxicity. They also inhibit voltage-gated calcium channels, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. Additionally, these alkaloids modulate GABAergic and serotonergic systems, contributing to anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects. Flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
