Sterculia lychnophora
TCM seed that expands dramatically in water; clears heat, opens voice, and moistens intestines; used for dry throat and voice.
Pang Da Hai (Sterculia lychnophora) is a traditional Chinese medicinal seed used primarily as a demulcent for dry throat, hoarseness, and mild constipation. Upon steeping in hot water, the seed expands dramatically due to its high mucilage content, which coats and soothes mucous membranes. Key active compounds include bassorin, mucilage, galactan, and sterculin, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and laxative effects.
The mucilage and polysaccharides (bassorin, galactan) in Pang Da Hai form a viscous gel that adheres to pharyngeal and intestinal mucosa, providing a protective barrier and reducing irritation. This demulcent action may also stimulate mucin secretion and modulate local inflammatory cytokines. The laxative effect is attributed to the bulk-forming properties of the gel, which increases stool volume and stimulates peristalsis via stretch receptors. Additionally, sterculin and fatty acids may exhibit mild anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways.
