The efficacy and function of plum stem

After thousands of years of sedimentation and accumulation, the types and quantities of Chinese medicine have become quite astonishing. Therefore, choosing Chinese medicine to treat some difficult and complicated diseases always has a very good effect. Next, I would like to recommend a Chinese medicine, plum stem.

[Source] It is the leafy branches of the plum plant of the Rosaceae family.

【Functions and indications】 "Dao Ting Ji": "To treat women who have been suffering from miscarriage for three months, boil three to five plum stems into a thick soup and drink it, and then drink longan soup."

【Excerpt】 《*Dictionary》

[Source] From "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica": Plum stems from all plum trees can be used, with green calyx ones being preferred. All plum trees have air strips, which are green in color. These strips have no leaves, and are just stems growing out of the branches. Xue Shengbai once said that they are effective in unblocking the upper and lower diaphragm qi. These are air strips, not stems. The stems are used, and those with leaves and branches are used as medicine.

Above we introduced what plum stem is. We know that plum stem is actually a kind of Chinese medicinal material that can bring us health benefits and has almost no major side effects, so you might as well try it in your spare time.
