Effects of White Dragon's Beard Herb

1. Promote blood circulation and relieve pain

Few people know about White Dragon's Beard, but if you know it, you will definitely know its blood-activating effect, because promoting blood circulation and relieving pain is indeed one of the more well-known functions of White Dragon's Beard. The whole body of the eight-angle maple has the effect of promoting blood circulation, but its fibrous roots have the best effect. The effect of promoting blood circulation is suitable for healing wounds. Especially when encountering external wounds, coupled with its pain relief effect, it can reduce the pain when injured.

2. Relax the meridians

Blood and Qi generate vitality and energy for our body by circulating in various parts of our body. However, once our meridians are blocked, it may cause the belt meridian to be blocked, which will not only cause blood and Qi to stagnate, but also make our body weaker and weaker. Therefore, whether it is drinking white dragon beard medicinal wine or soaking feet in hot water, it has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, and can promote the smoothness of our meridians.

3. Eliminate rheumatism

Rheumatism is also caused by moisture in the body staying in the meridians and joints. As mentioned in the second point, White Dragon Beard has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, so it can also have the effect of dispelling wind and dampness. In addition, the eight-angle maple itself can promote blood circulation, excrete harmful substances from the body, and accelerate the body's metabolism. Therefore, the effect of White Dragon Beard in dispelling wind and dampness is also worth looking forward to.

However, because the star maple is toxic, the toxin in the white dragon beard is the strongest among all the main stems. Therefore, people without experience are not recommended to buy white dragon beard for consumption. They should choose the actual dosage according to their own situation after consulting a professional doctor. Don't use it recklessly. After all, we are responsible for our own health and safety.
