Jujube seed (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae) exerts sedative and hypnotic effects, alleviating symptoms such as anxiety, tension, and neurasthenia in patients. It also protects against myocardial injury induced by hypoxia and hypoglycemia. Additionally, jujube seed is rich in vitamin C; its administration enhances the body’s antioxidant capacity and boosts immune function.
