More detailed description

Korydalis is known by several other names depending on the region, tradition, or species. Here are some common alternative names:

Scientific:

-Korydalis yanhusuo (the most commonly used species in traditional medicine)

-Korydalis ambigua (another species with medicinal value)

Common:

-Yan Hu Suo: traditional Chinese name widely used in herbal medicine.

-Asian poppy: Belongs to the poppy family (Papaveraceae).

-Fumewort: Old English name referring to its appearance.

Regional or traditional names

-Turmeric root: In some contexts, Corydalis tubers are called this because of their yellowish color, although this has nothing to do with turmeric itself.

-Golden tuft: used to refer to some species with yellow flowers.

-Crested root: refers to the tuberous root used for medicinal purposes.

The tubers (underground root structures) of the Korydalis plant are the main part used for medicinal purposes. These tubers are rich in active ingredients, particularly alkaloids such as tetrahydropalmatine (THP), which are responsible for the analgesic, sedative, and mood-enhancing effects of Korydalis. Other parts of the Corydalis plant, such as the stems, leaves, and flowers, are not commonly used in traditional medicine because they contain lower concentrations of active ingredients.

Main alkaloids in Corydalis:

Tetrahydropalmatine (THP) – is the most studied alkaloid in Corydalis. It works by interacting with dopamine receptors and other neurotransmitter systems, thereby reducing pain and promoting relaxation.

-Analgesic (pain relief)

-Sedative

-Muscle relaxant

Dehydrocoribulbine (DHCB) – is particularly effective in relieving inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

-Antifungal

-Anti-inflammatory

Corybulbine – Corybulbine is believed to support nervous system health and promote relaxation.

Effects:

-Mild sedative

-Neuroprotective

How these alkaloids work

Dopaminergic modulation: THP and DHCB act on dopamine receptors, which helps reduce pain and induce relaxation.

Interaction with the opioid system: Some alkaloids can interact with opioid receptors, increasing their analgesic effects without causing addiction like traditional opioids.

Anti-inflammatory effects: Alkaloids such as DHCB reduce inflammation, which contributes to pain relief.

Synergistic effects

The combination of these alkaloids creates a synergistic effect that makes hakninu effective for pain relief, stress reduction, and muscle relaxation.
