White atractylodes
Atractylodes lancea
Atractylodes lancea is a traditional Chinese medicine used for digestive complaints. It has been traditionally employed in East Asian practices, particularly in China and Japan, to aid digestion and manage related issues. Scientific evidence indicates potential antibacterial activity against Salmonella Choleraesuis, with both low- and high-dose Atractylodes lancea polysaccharides showing promise in alleviating certain conditions through gut microbiota remodelling and regulation of the 1-carbon cycle. Additionally, it has been observed to alleviate lung injury by reshaping gut microbiota and restoring tryptophan metabolism in mouse models. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Atractylodes lancea, though further research is needed to fully understand its effects and applications.

Traditional use
What the science says
- The study found that a prescription including Atractylodes lancea, Mume Fructus, and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella Choleraesuis both in vitro and in vivo.
- Both low-dose (50 mg/kg/d) and high-dose (100 mg/kg/d) Atractylodes lancea polysaccharide alleviate MASH by regulating the 1-carbon cycle through intestinal flora remodelling.
- Atractylodes lancea polysaccharides alleviated lung injury by reshaping gut microbiota and restoring tryptophan metabolism in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus-induced lung injury.
- The study identifies key genes and metabolites associated with quality differences between A. chinensis and A. japonica, affecting Atractylodin synthesis.
