Broccoli nurtures the Qi and Blood to the meridian. It helps repair the structural damage to the synapse including the nerve ending and the neuromuscular junction and helps resume the innervation of skeletal muscle from the nervous system.
A neuromuscular junction is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber that links the muscle with the nerves. The function of the synapse is to transmit the signal from the motor neuron to the muscle fiber to regulate and control the muscle contractions. The skeletal muscle is innervated by the axons from the neuron. The innervation of the muscle from the nervous system is necessary for the muscle to perform the contractions and maintain muscle tone and avoiding atrophy.
 Synaptic transmission is a multistep process that takes less than 5 milliseconds. It involves the motor neurons releasing the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh), which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on the cell membrane of the muscle fiber. The binding of ACh to the receptor can depolarize the muscle fiber, causing a cascade that eventually results in muscle contraction.
Inflammation due to infection, injury, or an autoimmune disorder can cause damages to these sophisticated synapse structure and disrupt the signal transmission between the nerve and muscle fiber. Therefore, the muscle contraction will not be well regulated with the control of the nervous system. This can cause muscle injury and pain especially when the muscle either changes from a contracted position to a flexed position or change from a flexed position to a contracted position. Chronic inflammation and infection can result in poor innervation and cause loss of muscle tone and muscle mass.
Broccoli helps repair the structural damage in the nerve ending and the neuromuscular junction to allow skeletal muscle to resume the innervation from the nervous system. Patients can experience symptom improvement within 1 week with decreased pain and increased muscle strength. 6 weeks to 3 months of treatment are required to have a significant improvement.
If the synapse structure damage is caused by inflammation due to an autoimmune disorder or infection, other formulas that address the autoimmune and infections are also required.
