What are the effects and functions of fish star grass root

When it comes to Houttuynia cordata, many people don’t know much about it, but when it comes to Pleurotus eryngii or Houttuynia cordata, many people are more familiar with it. It has great medicinal value, tastes sweet, and can be eaten raw or served cold. Houttuynia cordata is a natural antibiotic with great anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing, antiviral and anti-radiation effects. People who face computers and mobile phones for a long time can eat some of it, which can prevent radiation very well. So what other effects and functions does Houttuynia cordata have?

A large number of studies have confirmed that Houttuynia cordata has anti-radiation effects, which is not only suitable for flight crews, but also for office workers who are often close to radiation sources. Drinking Houttuynia cordata tea regularly can reduce the harm of radiation to the body. Office workers may wish to prepare a cup of Houttuynia cordata tea during work.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Houttuynia cordata is pungent in taste, slightly cold in nature, and enters the lung meridian. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, eliminating carbuncle and draining pus, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria. It is often used to treat lung abscess, lung heat cough, sores, swelling and toxins. Modern pharmacological research shows that the volatile oils, houttuynia cordata and other ingredients contained in Houttuynia cordata have a strong inhibitory effect on various pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pneumococcus, as well as influenza virus and Leptospira, and can enhance the phagocytic ability of white blood cells and macrophages, thereby improving human immunity. In addition, it has diuretic, antitussive, antiasthmatic, tissue regeneration promoting, anti-tumor and radiation protection effects.

Houttuynia cordata tea is very simple to make. You only need to pick out impurities from a small amount of fresh Houttuynia cordata, wash it with clean water, drain the water and boil it. After boiling over high heat, wait for two minutes, turn off the heat immediately, drain the medicine soup and you can drink it. Do not throw away the cooked Houttuynia cordata. You can add water next time you drink it and cook it again using the same method before drinking it. It can be cooked 3 times in total, which is just enough for one day.

However, it should be noted that when cooking Houttuynia cordata, do not cook it for as long as you cook other Chinese medicines. For dried Houttuynia cordata, the anti-inflammatory ingredients will evaporate after long-term cooking. If you don't have the conditions to boil water, you can also directly use dried Houttuynia cordata to make tea. Pour in boiling water and soak it for a while. It also has an anti-radiation effect.

Contraindications of Houttuynia cordata:

1. Do not take it if you have deficiency-cold syndrome or negative external ulcer.

2. "Ming Yi Bie Lu": Eating too much can cause shortness of breath.

3. Meng Shen: Eating it for a long time will cause weakness, damage Yang Qi, and consume essence.

The herbal Houttuynia cordata is different from the prepared Houttuynia cordata. People may be allergic to the injected Houttuynia cordata, but not necessarily to the herbal Houttuynia cordata. This is because various solvents are added to the production process of injections, which increases the chance of allergies. This is not the case with herbal medicines, which are purely natural.

I believe everyone is familiar with the above side effects and contraindications of Houttuynia cordata. Although Houttuynia cordata is good, improper use can also lead to adverse consequences, so you should consider the situation before consuming it.
