Prunus armeniaca
TCM seed for cough, asthma, and constipation with lubricating properties.
Xing Ren (Prunus armeniaca seed) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb primarily used for cough suppression, asthma relief, and constipation due to its lubricating properties. Its key active compounds include the cyanogenic glycoside amygdalin, along with emulsin, prunasin, and oleic acid, which contribute to its pharmacological effects. Despite limited modern evidence (Grade C), it remains a common antitussive and laxative in TCM practice.
Amygdalin is hydrolyzed by emulsin to release hydrogen cyanide, which at low therapeutic doses may suppress the cough reflex via central nervous system action and reduce airway irritation. The oleic acid and other fatty oils in the seed provide a lubricating effect on the intestinal mucosa, promoting bowel movements and alleviating constipation. Additionally, prunasin may contribute mild bronchodilatory effects, though the overall mechanism is not fully elucidated and relies on traditional empirical use.
