Houttuynia cordata is also known as Houttuynia cordata, Houttuynia cordata, and stinky grass. It is not only a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and the whole plant can be used as medicine, but also a famous wild vegetable, mostly edible in its tender stems, leaves and underground stems. It is harvested in summer when the stems and leaves are lush and there are many flower spikes. Pull out the whole herb, remove impurities and dry it in the sun.

Many functions of Houttuynia cordata are well known, such as clearing away heat, detoxifying, and losing weight. But what most people know about its effects are basically those used by adults. In fact, Houttuynia cordata is very safe and can be eaten by infants and young children. Moreover, Houttuynia cordata has antiviral and immunity-enhancing effects. In normal times, especially in spring and autumn, giving your baby Houttuynia cordata tea can effectively resist influenza and colds.

Houttuynia cordata has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, eliminating carbuncle and draining pus, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria. It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is often used together with reed root, platycodon, and trichosanthes to treat lung abscess with pus vomiting (equivalent to lung abscess in modern medicine), phlegm-heat, wheezing and cough. When used for heat and toxic sores, it can be used together with wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, honeysuckle, etc., or it can be used alone with fresh products and mashed for external application.

I believe that through the description of the above paragraphs, most friends have a better understanding and cognition of the above questions. But I still want to tell you that although the taste and effect of Houttuynia cordata are quite good, we still have to find foods that are incompatible with it, so that we can avoid their simultaneous appearance in our diet and avoid more accidents. However, some patients with cough should avoid eating Houttuynia cordata.
