What are the effects of motherwort

I believe everyone is very familiar with motherwort, but not many people know clearly about the effects and functions of motherwort. Motherwort is a traditional Chinese medicine. It has a good effect on the treatment of many diseases, such as some gynecological diseases and chronic ulcerative colitis in women. So, what are the effects and functions of motherwort? Let's learn about it together.

1. Motherwort promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. People with yin deficiency and blood deficiency should not take it.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that motherwort is bitter and cool in nature, enters the pericardium and liver meridians, and has the effects of activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation, and eliminating water. It can treat irregular menstruation, dystocia, postpartum blood loss, abdominal pain due to blood stasis, metrorrhagia, hematuria, hematuria, carbuncles, ulcers, etc. It can be taken orally or applied externally.

It should be noted that women with yin deficiency and anemia should not take it.

2. Motherwort can be brewed into tea or boiled in water for external application

Motherwort and brown sugar are added to make tea. Brown sugar has high nutritional value and is rich in riboflavin, carotene, niacin and trace elements such as manganese, zinc, chromium, etc. It has the effects of nourishing blood and qi, activating blood circulation and relaxing muscles, warming the spleen and stomach, and resolving blood stasis and promoting new blood. This recipe is delicious and nourishing, and is mainly used to treat dull pain in the lower abdomen after childbirth, pain when pressing, light-colored and scanty lochia, dizziness, tinnitus, pale complexion, light-red tongue, thin coating, and weak and thready pulse.

You can also wash the motherwort, boil it in water, and wash your face with it, which will help remove spots on your face.

3. Drinking tea is not a good idea. Don’t drink on an empty stomach.

The ancients once said, "A cup of tea in the morning is better than a robber breaking into a poor house", which means it is not suitable to drink tea on an empty stomach in the morning. Because drinking tea on an empty stomach dilutes the gastric juice, reduces the function of gastric acid, hinders digestion, and affects the absorption of protein, it can easily cause inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

In addition, tea should be drunk in moderation and avoid excessive tea drinking because tea contains caffeine. Excessive tea drinking can cause anxiety, irritability, insomnia, palpitations and other symptoms, leading to poor sleep. It can also inhibit gastrointestinal motility, hinder digestion, and reduce appetite.

After the detailed description of the above content, I believe that everyone now has a deeper understanding and knowledge of the efficacy and functions of processed motherwort. Indeed, motherwort has many efficacy and functions, but motherwort is not all good without any harm. Before eating motherwort, everyone must pay attention to their own physical condition, and eat motherwort with caution based on their actual situation.
