[Pharmacological activities]	1.improve mucus clear rate: standard Tomentosa Rhodomyrtus Fruit oil (300mg of standardization Tomentosa Rhodomyrtus Fruit oil preparations including at least 20mg α-Pai vinyl, 75mg lemon vinyl and 75mg of 1,8- blade element) can stimulate globlet cell and gland secretion to reduce upper and lower respiratory mucus thickness, can increased swing frequency of cilia thus mucus of excluded volume is up, by stimulating Cilia cell[1].2. anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic reactions: standard Tomentosa Rhodomyrtus Fruit oil and 1,8- blade element can hinder 5-lipoxygenase activity and formation of leukotriene C4 in the acidophilus and Basophilic leukocyte of pigs and mice in vivo; can inhibit the content of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to be increased [2] in the nipple milk pool mucosal layer in vitro. Standard Tomentosa Rhodomyrtus Fruit oil, with OH class of oxygen free radicals and in interference with leukocyte, can slow the inflammatory process [3].
