Saussurea involucrata (Snow Lotus) is a medicinal and edible herb. Drinking its infused water generally has functions such as warming the kidney and invigorating yang, dispersing cold and removing dampness, nourishing the liver and kidney, regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding, and beautifying the skin.

1. Warm the kidney and invigorate yang

Dried Snow Lotus enters the kidney meridian and has the effect of warming the kidney and enhancing yang. It can be used to alleviate symptoms caused by kidney yang deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, cold intolerance, cold limbs, impotence, and premature ejaculation. By warming and nourishing kidney yang, it enhances kidney function, boosts the body's yang energy, and improves the state of physical coldness caused by kidney yang deficiency.

2. Disperse cold and remove dampness

Drinking Snow Lotus infused water can effectively dispel cold and dampness. It is effective in treating conditions caused by cold-dampness, such as rheumatic pain and impaired joint movement. It helps expel cold-damp pathogens from the body, reduce joint pain and swelling, and improve joint mobility.

3. Nourish the liver and kidney

Dried Snow Lotus can also replenish the liver and kidney, enhancing their functions. For symptoms caused by liver and kidney deficiency, such as weakness in the waist and knees, drinking Snow Lotus infused water can nourish the liver and kidney and strengthen tendons and bones, helping to alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life.

4. Regulate menstruation and stop bleeding

Dried Snow Lotus has a regulatory effect on gynecological disorders in women, such as irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, and leukorrhea. It can both warm the meridians and dispel cold, and also activate blood circulation to regulate menstruation. It promotes blood circulation, regulates female endocrine function, and alleviates symptoms such as irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea caused by cold coagulation and blood stasis. In addition, Snow Lotus also has a hemostatic effect.

5. Beautify the skin and enhance complexion

Dried Snow Lotus contains multiple beneficial components with antioxidant properties. It can remove free radicals in the body, reduce damage to skin cells, and delay skin aging. Additionally, drinking the infused water can promote blood circulation, help improve skin tone, making the skin more rosy and smooth, thereby achieving beautifying and skin-enhancing effects.

It is recommended to drink an appropriate amount of water infused with dried Snow Lotus, avoiding prolonged and excessive consumption. A light diet should be maintained, adequate rest ensured, and overexertion avoided to prevent adverse effects on health.
