[source] tender stems and leaves of gramineous plant wheat. For plant morphology, please refer to "wheat".

[chemical composition] wheat straw contains a polysaccharide (3.4 g / 3.4 kg) which is mainly composed of pentose and hexose.

[pharmacology] wheat straw water extract has the effect of driving Ascaris lumbricoides, but its effective components have not been proposed yet. It is soluble in water and alcohol, but insoluble in organic solvents. For earthworm muscle samples, low concentration of excitation, high concentration of paralysis. It can inhibit the tension and contraction amplitude of human Ascaris lumbricoides section and rabbit intestine. It has no effect on blood pressure and respiration of rabbits. No toxic symptoms were observed after long-term oral administration or injection. The expelling rate was 69-78%, the complete expelling rate was 0-16%, and the egg reduction rate was 60-66.8%. The anthelmintic substance is mainly contained in the nodes of wheat straw. In terms of earthworm killing, the efficacy of buckwheat stalk was higher than that of barley stalk and wheat stalk. The anthelmintic substance is heat-resistant, but its efficacy will decrease if it is decocted too long. It has also been reported that hemicellulose in wheat straw has a high anticancer effect on mice. This effect is not a single dose of cytotoxic effect. Polysaccharides can be extracted from wheat straw, which has the effect of anti-180.
