1. Skin Health
The herb's antibacterial, antifungal and antipruritic properties make cnidium ideal for skin treatments. Holistic
practitioners use the extract for numerous skin conditions including dermatitis, eczema, ringworm, rash and itching.
2. Men's Health
>Skeletal Muscle
Osthole has been implicated in increasing AMPK-mediated glucose uptake into myocytes (both C2C12 and L6) in
dose and time dependent manners, although tested mostly at 12.5-50uM and also affects hepatocytes to a less
potent extent.
Osthole apparently may also phosphorylate (activate) Akt, and the downstream proteins of AS160 and GSK3; another
mechanism by which GLUT4 may be increased.
> Erections
Cnidium Monnieri is, supposedly, a frequently prescribed herb among Chinese Medicine practitioners for male
impotence. It has traditionally been used for treatment of male erections (or the lack thereof) alongside Epimedium
Sagittatum (related to Horny Goat ) and the plant Semen Cuscutae.
There may also be central (brain) effects as well, due to the ability of osthole to induce glutaminergic neurotransmission
(see Neurology section).
3.Liver Interactions
>Fatty Liver
Osthole is able to reduce fatty liver induced by Alcohol.
