The summary is as follows.

Nourishes Yin essence, promotes the production of body fluids and quenches thirst, and treats complications of dry mouth and tongue caused by radiotherapy for malignant tumors

[Ming] Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Orchid flowers taste spicy, neutral, sweet and non-toxic." "Its aroma is fragrant, can promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst, moisturize muscles, and treat thirst and gallbladder disease." "... to treat thirst, use orchid leaves, this is the origin." Modern medical research uses radium (cobalt 60) to carry out radiotherapy and chemotherapy on some malignant tumors or cancer surgery, achieving certain results, but it has a certain harm and functional impact on the tissues and organs around the tumor. For example, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, laryngeal malignant tumors (mucosal dermoid carcinoma), upper and middle esophageal cancers, etc., lead to the destruction of various glandular ducts in the oral cavity, especially the three pairs of large laryngeal glands, submandibular glands, and sublingual glands, as well as the upper gastrointestinal mucosal gland cells, resulting in a significant decrease in the metabolism of the glandular ducts, resulting in symptoms such as dry and hot throat, dry tongue and lips, and dry mouth and thirst.

In fact, the effects and functions of orchid are very wide-ranging. Li Shizhen first recorded orchid in the Compendium of Materia Medica. Orchid has the effects of promoting fluid and quenching thirst, clearing away heat and removing fire. It has unique effects on the treatment of common pneumonia, nausea and retching and other diseases. Orchid itself can regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If there are sinus cancer, gastroptosis, gastrointestinal indigestion and other diseases, you can use orchid to soak and take.
