Its name is disgusting! But it can cure many chronic diseases

I don’t know why, it has such a not very elegant name - chicken shit vine!

Maybe some people have a preconceived feeling of rejection when they see this name, but if you give it a chance to prove itself, perhaps your impression of it will change greatly.

Chicken shit vine, also known as chicken arrow vine and stinking vine, is a vine plant that is six to nine feet long, with round stems and branches. It smells like chicken shit when crushed! After reading this, do you know the origin of its shocking name?

The leaves of the chicken shit vine are opposite, mostly oval or elliptical, and vary greatly in size and shape.

The spathiphyllum also flowers in white with purple, bell-shaped, axillary and terminal panicles. The fruit is spherical and straw yellow when ripe.

Although the name of the chicken shit vine may come from the smell of crushed chicken shit, which makes it feel more humble, it is actually not very picky about its growing environment. It can take root and grow firmly by the ditch, river, or in bamboo forests and bushes, and often climbs on other plants or rocks, neither humble nor arrogant.

In fact, the appearance of the chicken shit vine is not that terrible, or it is even a bit pretty. The green leaves, light flowers, and elegant fragrance all give people a fresh and refined feeling. It's just that the name of "art photography" ruins the impression.

What are the effects of chicken shit vine?

Don't underestimate this vine plant. Its roots, stems and leaves can all be used as medicine. However, the roots have to be harvested in autumn and winter, then cleaned and dried for later use.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the stems and leaves of the Chinese poop vine are slightly sweet and astringent, while the roots are bitter and slightly warm.
