The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine fermentation, and provides use of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in increasing alkaloid and/or polysaccharide in Leonurus japonicus Houtt. According to the present invention, the Leonurus japonicus Houtt is fermented by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, so that the alkaloid content and the polysaccharide content of the fermented Leonurus japonicus Houtt averagely increases by 28.24% and 58.50% respectively compared with those of a non-fermented group, and the increase is extremely remarkable (P < 0.01). When the alkaloid content reaches the maximum value, the alkaloid content averagely increases by 44.51% compared with that of a non-fermented group, and when the polysaccharide content reaches the maximum value, the polysaccharide content averagely increases by 100.03% compared with that of a non-fermented group. The results show that the content of some active ingredients in the Leonurus japonicus Houtt before and after fermentation is remarkably improved, which helps to improve the efficacy.
