When it comes to moss, everyone is familiar with it. Whether in the city or outside, moss is not a rare thing.

In fact, moss also has certain medicinal value. In this article, let’s take a look at the medicinal value of moss.

Moss is a bryophyte that grows year-round in wetlands, walls, wells, roofs and water. Its medicinal value mainly includes:

1. To treat burns, burn the moss on the wall into ashes, mix it with appropriate amount of vegetable oil and rub it on the affected area.

2. To treat hemorrhoids and prolapse, take 15 grams of moss from the wall, dry it over fire and grind it into fine powder. Also use 5 pairs of sheep's hoof shells, 30 grams each of stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica, 60 grams of Poria cocos, and 15 grams of Sophora japonica flowers, grind them into fine powder, add a little rice to make pills, take 3 grams every night before going to bed, and take it for 1 month to cure.

3. To treat bleeding from trauma, take the moss from the water, dry it, and grind it into fine powder. After disinfecting the wound, sprinkle the powder on it and apply pressure bandage.

4. To treat acute and chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, scrape a small amount of fresh moss from the wall (without mud or sand) every day. Wrap it with a small piece of clean gauze, and insert it into the nostrils (alternately into both nostrils) before going to bed, and remove it the next morning. After the nasal congestion is relieved, runny nose and other accompanying symptoms completely disappear, continue to use this method for 3 to 4 days. It will be cured and it is unlikely to relapse.
