What are the three precious Chinese herbs in the "Blood Sugar Lowering Trio"?

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, the "Three Treasures for Blood Sugar Reduction" typically refer to three kinds of herbal ingredients that have an auxiliary effect in lowering blood glucose levels. These herbs are believed in TCM to regulate the balance of Qi and blood, and enhance the function of the spleen and stomach, thereby helping to control blood sugar levels.

The following are common combinations of these "Three Treasures for Blood Sugar Reduction" and their primary therapeutic effects:

1. Panax notoginseng powder, Salvia miltiorrhiza powder, and Dendrobium powder: These have the effects of benefiting the stomach, promoting the production of body fluids, and lowering blood sugar, making them suitable for auxiliary treatment of hyperglycemia.

2. Pueraria lobata root, mulberry leaf, and Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit): Pueraria lobata root contains flavonoids that can dilate blood vessels, increase coronary artery blood flow, improve myocardial metabolism, and lower blood sugar. Polysaccharides in mulberry leaves enhance the body's sensitivity to insulin. Siraitia grosvenorii promotes the secretion of insulin from pancreatic islet cells, all of which help improve blood glucose control.

3. Dioscorea opposita (Chinese yam), Pueraria lobata root, and prepared Rehmannia glutinosa: Dioscorea opposita tonifies the spleen, nourishes the lungs, strengthens the kidneys, and benefits essence. Pueraria lobata root disperses pathogenic factors, promotes the secretion of body fluids, generates yang energy, and stops diarrhea. Prepared Rehmannia glutinosa nourishes the blood, enriches yin, and benefits essence and marrow.
