Introduction
Under normal circumstances, drinking water boiled with *Hypericum japonicum* (Tian Ji Huang) has effects such as clearing heat and dampness, promoting diuresis and reducing edema, detoxification, moistening the lungs to relieve cough, and improving skin conditions. Although drinking *Hypericum japonicum* tea offers various health benefits, caution is still required during use, as excessive consumption may lead to adverse reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it properly and in a reasonable manner under the guidance of a physician to ensure safe and effective utilization of its medicinal properties.
Generally, drinking water infused with Grangea Muryei (Senecio scandens) offers various benefits such as clearing heat and dampness, promoting diuresis and reducing edema, detoxifying, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and improving skin conditions. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Clearing Heat and Dampness
Grangea Muryei effectively removes damp-heat and damp-toxin from the body, helping prevent jaundice. Additionally, components such as quercetin and its 3-glucoside found in Grangea Muryei help reduce transaminase levels, thus protecting the liver.
2. Promoting Diuresis and Reducing Edema
Potassium salts and other components in Grangea Muryei promote kidney excretion and increase urine output, helping eliminate excess water and toxins from the body. It effectively alleviates symptoms such as edema and difficult urination.
3. Detoxification
Grangea Muryei can also relieve traumatic injuries and abscesses caused by excessive blood heat and toxicity. It effectively clears internal heat toxins and is beneficial for treating sores, swellings, and snake bites.
4. Moistening the Lungs and Relieving Cough
Rich in various active ingredients, Grangea Muryei directly acts on the lungs, offering effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, and alleviating asthma. It effectively alleviates dryness-induced coughing and throat discomfort.
5. Improving Skin Conditions
Grangea Muryei also provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helping improve skin issues such as acne and pigmentation. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce skin inflammation, while its antioxidant effects combat free radical damage, thereby promoting skin health.
In daily life, although drinking Grangea Muryei water offers numerous benefits, caution is necessary during use, as excessive consumption may lead to adverse reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it properly and safely under a physician's guidance to ensure effective utilization of its medicinal value.
