Introduction
Under normal circumstances, litchi seed may have effects such as relieving cold-induced pain, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, promoting qi circulation and dissipating nodules, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, and improving cardiovascular health. If this medicinal substance is needed, it is recommended to use it under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid unnecessary bodily harm. During medication, one should maintain regular and light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods.

Under normal circumstances, lychee seed may have various effects such as dispelling cold and relieving pain, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, promoting qi circulation and resolving nodules, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, and improving cardiovascular health. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Dispelling Cold and Relieving Pain

Lychee seed has a warm nature and taste, and possesses properties that disperse cold and alleviate pain. It can be used to treat conditions such as epigastric distension and pain, dysmenorrhea, and postpartum abdominal pain.

2. Strengthening the Spleen and Regulating the Stomach

Lychee seed helps regulate spleen and stomach functions, offering certain improvement for symptoms related to spleen and stomach deficiency and indigestion. By promoting the secretion of digestive fluids, it accelerates food digestion and absorption, thereby reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Promoting Qi Circulation and Resolving Nodules

Lychee seed is warm in nature, sweet with a slightly astringent taste, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It has the effect of regulating qi flow, relieving pain, dispersing nodules, and reducing swelling.

4. Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects

Rich in active compounds such as polyphenols, lychee seed exhibits certain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps combat damage from free radicals and protects cells against oxidative stress.

5. Improving Cardiovascular Health

Lychee seed can reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis, and promote blood circulation, thus helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

If this substance is to be used medicinally, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to avoid unnecessary harm to the body. During treatment, maintain regular and light meals, and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and onions, which may negatively affect health.

What are the consequences of not treating a child's hemangioma?
The consequences of untreated infantile hemangiomas may generally include effects on physical appearance development, increased risk of infection and ulceration, compression of surrounding tissues, bleeding risks, and impaired functional development. Impact on appearance: If a hemangioma develops in exposed areas such as the face or neck, it may gradually enlarge with age, deepen in color, or become raised, potentially leading to permanent pigmentation or scarring, thus affecting the child's physical appearance.

Is a blood vessel tumor under the tongue serious?
In general, the severity of a hemangioma under the tongue needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. Hemangiomas that are small, cause no discomfort, and do not affect eating or speaking are usually not serious. However, larger hemangiomas that cause discomfort or impair function may be more serious. In daily care, it is important to avoid consuming food that is too hot or too hard, and to minimize friction and irritation to the affected area.

Is the decision to perform surgery for splenic hemangioma based on its location?
Surgical intervention may be necessary in cases where the hemangioma is located in a special position, such as near the splenic hilum, areas with dense vasculature, or adjacent to surrounding organs, as these are prone to external forces, enlargement, compression of surrounding tissues or blood vessels, leading to abdominal pain, bloating, and even risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Even if the hemangioma is in a relatively favorable location, a large tumor volume may impair splenic function due to mass effect, and such cases should also be considered for surgical treatment.

How to completely cure skin hemangioma
Complete eradication of cutaneous hemangiomas requires selecting an appropriate treatment approach based on the specific characteristics of the lesion. Common methods include local injection therapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, oral medication, and cryotherapy. Standardized treatment can effectively eliminate the lesion and reduce the risk of recurrence. If a cutaneous hemangioma rapidly increases in size, ulcerates, or affects appearance and function, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.

Where are hemangiomas most dangerous when they grow?
There is no definitive answer to "where hemangiomas are most dangerous," but hemangiomas located around the eyes, in the throat and airway, intracranial areas, liver, or at the extremities of limbs are considered higher risk. These may compress vital organs, impair function, or even lead to life-threatening complications, thus requiring close monitoring and timely intervention. If a hemangioma is found in any of these areas and abnormal symptoms develop, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Should hemangiomas be treated with sclerotherapy?
Not all hemangiomas require sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is only suitable for certain types and cases of hemangiomas; some hemangiomas may not need treatment or can be managed through other approaches. If a hemangioma shows rapid growth or affects bodily functions, prompt medical consultation is recommended. This applies particularly to superficial or deep small-to-medium-sized hemangiomas, especially venous malformation-type hemangiomas.

Do skin hemangiomas require treatment?
Not all cutaneous hemangiomas require treatment. Most cutaneous hemangiomas are asymptomatic, grow slowly, and do not affect appearance or function; these can spontaneously regress over time and do not need specific intervention. Only those hemangiomas that pose risks or impact daily life require treatment. If a cutaneous hemangioma rapidly enlarges, ulcerates, bleeds, or affects appearance and function, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.

Are liver hemangiomas common?
Hepatic hemangiomas can occur multifocally, but this is not the case for most patients. Clinically, solitary hepatic hemangioma is more common. When multiple lesions are present, they usually involve only 2–3 foci and are mostly asymptomatic, often detected incidentally during routine physical examinations. They generally do not significantly affect liver function. However, if any of the multiple hemangiomas exceed 5 cm in diameter or are accompanied by abdominal pain, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.
