Note:
The cholagogue effect
of shu gu jiang huang is synergistical effect of curcumin
and the essential
oil of the herb. To
preserve the evaporating oil do not over heat or over cook the
herb.
Compared to
jiang huang (Curcuma Longa.; Curcuma domestica)
Curcuma xanthorrhiza
is a better choice.
Jiang huang contains
the ingredient of bisdesmethoxycurcumin of 29% and shu gu jiang huang
does not contain any.
It is the bisdesmethoxycurcumin that can decrease bile flow. The ingrediant
xanthorrizol (a phenolic sesquiterpene) that inhibits Staphylococcus
Aureus (SA) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
is not found in jiang huang (Curcuma longa).

註﹕
束骨薑黃
之助分泌膽汁之作用是其揮發油薑黃素 聯合其他成份引起的。所以此藥不宜久煎以免揮發油損失。薑
黃含有 29% 去二甲氧基姜黄素 (bisdesmethoxycurcumin)。
此成份能防礙膽汁之分泌而束骨薑黃不含此化合物質。 故比起薑黃﹐束
骨薑黃應是較好的選擇。
束骨薑黃
化學成份之一﹐酚醛樹脂 倍半帖類 (phenolic sesquiterpene) 之
xanthorrizol 可抑制金黃葡萄球菌 與 已產生抗 Methicillin
藥性之 金黃葡萄球菌。薑黃或鬱
金不含此成份。

Reporting in the Dec. 7, 2004, online edition of the
Journal
of Biological Chemistry, the research team also determined curcumin
is more effective in inhibiting formation of the protein fragments than
many other drugs being tested as Alzheimer's treatments.
