typha latifolia pollen

Typha latifolia pollen, widely known as Puhuang in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a natural substance harvested from the male flowers of the common cattail. It is primarily utilized for its potent hemostatic properties, effective in treating both internal and external bleeding. The pollen's biological resilience is attributed to the presence of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins and the formation of intracellular sugar glasses, which protect cellular integrity during desiccation. Pharmacological studies indicate that its active constituents, including flavonoids like quercetin and various sterols, contribute to its ability to promote blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, and exert anti-inflammatory effects.
