Snakeberry, also known as "wild strawberry and ground bayberry", belongs to the Rosaceae family. It grows thin vines on the spot and grows roots and branches at each node. This plant produces small red fruits shaped like strawberries in summer. It has been used as medicine since ancient times. It is named "snakeberry" because it is good at treating snake and insect bites. It is native to areas south of Liaoning Province in my country and is widely distributed in South China, mostly growing on hillsides, river banks, grasslands, and humid places. As early as the third century AD, snakeberry was recorded in "Ming Yi Bie Lu". Snakeberry has a sweet and sour fruit and can be used to make wine. The whole plant and roots are used as medicine and have been recorded in many herbal books throughout the ages. This herb is sweet, bitter and cold in nature and acts on the lung, liver and large intestine meridians. Functions: clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and dispersing stagnation, relieving pain and reducing swelling. In clinical practice, snakeberry is mainly used for its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects to treat carbuncles, furuncles, redness, swelling, heat and pain in the affected area, or ulcers and pus discharge. In addition, snakeberry can be used to treat sore throat caused by excessive heat and fire. When treating sore throat, you can use this product to make a decoction instead of tea, or use the decoction to gargle. In addition, fresh snakeberry can be mashed and applied externally to treat snake and insect bites, burns from water or fire, etc. In addition, because this product can reduce swelling and disperse nodules, it can be used to treat scrofula, goiter, and even cancer pain. Modern pharmacological research shows that snakeberry has strong anti-tumor, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, can promote immune function, and inhibit the central nervous system. In clinical practice, snakeberry has good effects in treating esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer and other digestive tract tumors. This product can be used for treatment of advanced tumors. In addition, snakeberry is antibacterial and is effective in treating bacterial dysentery, appendicitis, etc. The common dosage of this product is: decoction for oral administration, 15-30g, or external use, mashed and applied or ground into powder for sprinkling. This product has a certain degree of toxicity, but it is not life-threatening if ingested by mistake as rumored. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once pointed out that eating snakeberry can cause symptoms such as chills all over the body and drooling in the mouth, so try not to ingest it by mistake. |
