The efficacy and function of yew

1. Medicinal effects

A substance called paclitaxel can be extracted from yew trees, which can effectively inhibit cancer. This is its greatest medicinal benefit, and that is why it is extremely popular in the market, and many people with cancer are eager to buy it. And we all know that cancer is the most terrible disease in the world today because there is no medicine that can truly cure it. However, since the discovery of extracts from yew trees, there has been a way to treat cancer. However, because the extraction process is too complicated and the content is extremely small, a lot of yew trees are needed to supply it, which is why yew trees are so rare. In addition, the leaves of yew can be made into medicine to play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic role.

In addition, it can also be used to make yew wine, which not only tastes great, but also has health-promoting effects such as anti-cancer and lowering blood pressure. Therefore, yew wine is an excellent health product.

2. Used as logs

Because the trunk of yew is hard and has a good color, it can be used to make furniture. Especially its roots are even more peculiar. We can carve them into root carvings of various shapes based on the shape of its roots. In addition, the furniture made of it generally has an extremely smooth and bright surface, clear texture, and a natural beauty. In addition, it is very corrosion-resistant and not easy to deform, so it is loved by collectors, so its collection value is also very high.

3. Greening effect

Its trees are beautiful and more suitable for bonsai. When its seeds mature, the tree will be full of red fruits, which, against the backdrop of green leaves, are extremely beautiful. Therefore, it is loved by many people and is grown as a bonsai in the courtyard, where it has great ornamental value.

4. Purification

Yew can absorb harmful substances in the air, improve air conditions and provide us with a better living environment.
