Deodeok (Lance Asiabell, Bonnet bellflower)

Codonopsis lanceolata

Codonopsis lanceolata is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. While there are no specific recorded traditional uses for this particular species, it shares similar properties with other Codonopsis plants used in traditional medicine. Scientific evidence suggests that compounds from its shoots may enhance nitric oxide production and immune-related gene expression, indicating potential immunomodulatory effects. The peel extract of Codonopsis lanceolata has shown promise in alleviating symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) by modulating hormonal and immune responses as well as gut microbiota composition. Additionally, comparative genomics studies have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of Pseudocodon convolvulaceus, providing insights into its genetic structure and evolutionary relationships within the Campanulaceae family. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for Codonopsis lanceolata to date.
