Generally speaking, Tiequantou is a name used in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the root, leaf, or whole herb of the plant Rabdosia longituba from the Lamiaceae family. Its functions and effects include assisting in lowering blood pressure, promoting diuresis and reducing edema, stopping bleeding, relieving swelling and pain, clearing heat, and detoxifying. If needed, it should be used under the guidance of a physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Assisting in Lowering Blood Pressure

Tiequantou contains abundant potassium, which helps promote the excretion of sodium from the body, aiding in maintaining electrolyte balance and thereby assisting in lowering blood pressure to some extent.

2. Promoting Diuresis and Reducing Edema

Tiequantou has the effect of promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It can improve symptoms such as edema and difficult urination, helping to expel excess water from the body and maintain electrolyte balance.

3. Stopping Bleeding

Tiequantou has astringent properties that help stop bleeding. It can be used to treat conditions such as rectal bleeding, hematuria, and traumatic bleeding, helping to control bleeding, reduce blood loss, and promote wound healing.

4. Relieving Swelling and Pain

Tiequantou helps reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is effective in alleviating ailments such as rheumatic joint pain, toothache, abdominal pain caused by food accumulation, and dysmenorrhea.

5. Clearing Heat and Detoxifying

Tiequantou has a bitter taste and cold nature, entering the heart and liver meridians. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying and can be used to alleviate discomforts such as sore throat, oral ulcers, and red, swollen, and painful eyes caused by excessive internal heat.

However, it should be noted that Tiequantou is cold in nature, so appropriate dosage should be observed during use to avoid excessive intake, which may damage the stomach and spleen, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
