The efficacy and function of small tongcao

Smilax glabra is a shrub plant that generally grows in areas with relatively high altitudes. It is mainly eaten as a medicinal material. It can play a good role in treating yellow and red urine and preventing internal heat. It is not eaten directly in daily life, but is mainly added to some cooking ingredients. This will be more conducive to the efficacy of the medicine and achieve the effect of health care.

Because smilax glabra is still a wild medicinal material, we cannot take these plants casually when we see them in our lives. If we recognize them incorrectly or use them incorrectly, it will easily bring adverse effects and endanger our health.
