Cycas flower is a type of traditional Chinese herb with a sweet taste and cold nature. Clinically, it is commonly used to treat symptoms such as mouth and tongue ulcers or nosebleeds caused by excessive liver fire, or blood stasis due to external injuries. Its main functions are clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis. Mammary hyperplasia is primarily caused by aseptic inflammation stimulating local tissues or nerves, leading to swelling and pain in the breast area. Some patients may also experience poor blood circulation. Taking Cycas flower can, to a certain extent, promote local blood circulation, help dissolve accumulated blood, and thus contribute to the treatment of mammary hyperplasia.

However, it should be noted that this herb is not recommended to be taken together with hot-natured substances, as this may lead to mutual antagonism between the substances and reduce therapeutic effectiveness. Additionally, women who are menstruating should avoid taking Cycas flower, as it may significantly increase menstrual flow and cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.
