In this episode we’re talking about the science, folklore, and incredible uses of a very special adaptogen you’ve probably never heard of called Actrylodes – incredible for inflammation, gut issues, fat loss and a lot more.
According to Acupuncture today, “White Atractylodes is one of the most commonly used herbs in traditional Chinese medicine.
White atractylodes has been given a class I safety rating by the American Herbal Products Association, meaning that it can be consumed safely when taken in appropriate doses. However, because of its diuretic properties, it should not be taken by patients who are dehydrated.”
Atractylodes has been used for indigestion, stomachache, bloating, inflammation, fluid retention, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss due to cancer, allergies to dust mites, and joint pain(rheumatism).
Atractylodes Macrocephalae is considered one of the finest Qi tonics available. Used by martial artists to strengthen their legs and muscles this herb is commonly used in combination with other herbs to help build Qi and balance herbal formulas.
For example, it’s one of the main ingredients in Performance Tea’s Energy Blend – which you can get at our website – http://www.CraneFactor.com
It’s blended together with other extraordinary adaptogens like Reishi, Gotu Kola, Asiatic Dogwood, Licorice Root, Green Tea and others.
History/Folklore:
Atractylodes is a general tonic herb that supports the digestive system and balances the appetite. In China, it is used to help weight loss programs and is considered to tonify/strengthen the spleen. It’s warming properties make it mildly stimulating. It is widely used a safe diuretic and helps regulate fluid metabolism. With ongoing use it is recognized as aiding the control of appetite. It is considered one of the best tonic herbs in Chinese herbalism.
How did Chinese Medicine recognize these healing properties before modern science?
“According to: Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Volume 2018, Article ID 4041873”
“Regarding the adaptive immune system, AME increased the CD4(+) T cell population and major histocompatibility complex class II molecule expression in the spleen”
Additionally: “Oral administration of these lipid-soluble components showed anti-inflammatory activity in mice”

And Today we’re looking primarily at the fat loss and anti-inflmamatory properties of Actractylodes
Fat Loss and Anti-inflammatory Properties
In this study, they fattened up rats for eight weeks until they were obese, and then gave them Atractylodes, and resulted in a significant decrease in the relative weight of abdominal fat, total fat mass as well as relative weight of total fat, and also exhibited anti-inflammatory activity without affecting cell viability.
