What are the benefits of drinking water soaked with Hedyotis diffusa?

Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to Chinese medicine health preservation. Many people usually use Chinese herbal medicine to make tea as a way of health preservation, but many people do not particularly understand the pharmacology and medicinal properties of these Chinese herbal medicines. For example, many people drink water soaked with Houttuynia cordata, but they cannot clearly explain what the specific benefits are. So what are the benefits of drinking water soaked with Houttuynia cordata? What symptoms can be treated? Let me tell you about it below.

In vitro (equivalent to 6 g/ml of crude drug), it has a strong inhibitory effect on acute lymphocytic, granulocytic, monocytic and chronic granulocytic tumor cells (methylene blue test tube method); measured using a Warburg respirator, the inhibitory effect on the former two is also strong. The extract was used in experimental treatment of S-180 and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice, and Yoshida sarcoma in rats, but there was no obvious anti-cancer effect; 0.5-1 gram of crude drug/ml had an inhibitory effect on Yoshida sarcoma and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in vitro (methylene blue test tube method)

Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects: The antibacterial effect in vitro is not significant, and it only has a weak effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. The effects of the decoction on the phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system and the phagocytic activity of leukocytes in vivo and in vitro in normal and artificial appendicitis rabbits were observed. It was believed that its anti-inflammatory effect was due to factors such as stimulating the proliferation of the reticuloendothelial system and enhancing the activity of phagocytes.

Treats shortness of breath, cough and chest tightness due to lung heat. To treat venomous snake bites, take 15 grams of Oldenlandia diffusa and 250 grams of white wine, boil for 3 to 5 minutes, remove the residue, take 2/3 orally (take 2 to 3 times a day), and apply 1/3 to the wound. When applying the medicine, first suck out the venomous blood from the wound, clean and disinfect it, cover and bandage it with a sterilized cotton pad, and then moisten the dressing with the above-mentioned medicinal wine (to keep it moist). If you cannot drink alcohol, you can boil the water and then add an appropriate amount of white wine, but it is better to boil it with white wine.

Clears away heat, detoxifies, promotes blood circulation and promotes diuresis. Treat tonsillitis, pharyngitis, appendicitis, hepatitis, dysentery, urinary tract infection, and infantile malnutrition.

Through the above discussion, I believe everyone can understand the benefits of drinking water soaked with Hedyotis diffusa, but everyone should also pay attention to the fact that Hedyotis diffusa is a cold herb. Long-term use can damage the stomach and intestines, which is why many people suffer from diarrhea. It is recommended that if you want to take it, you should go to a regular tertiary hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and follow the doctor's treatment methods. Do not take this medicine alone on your own, as the effect is not obvious and it is easy to damage your stomach. Hope this helps.
