Platycodon
grandiflorum
(Radix
Platycodi Grandiflori, Jie Geng)
Platycodon is the principal
herb in Chinese medicine for diseases of the lungs and throat,
and is commonly used for inflammatory conditions of the eyes,
ears, and sinuses. The herb has a strong expectorant and antitussive
effects and is included in many cough formulas, usually in
combination with licorice.
The active components of platycodon
— saponins, sterols, and triterpenoids — reduce
inflammation and thin the sputum. It helps to treat skin swellings,
including abscesses in the lungs and intestines. It also aids
to soothe sore throats and relieve hoarseness. Platycodon
is commonly added to formulas to direct the actions of the
other herbs to the upper body.
