Qingqianliu tea possesses the effects of dispelling wind, drying dampness, relieving itching, and eliminating parasites, and is used to treat pruritic skin conditions—often in combination with Kochia fruit (Fructus Kochiae) and Dictamnus root-bark (Cortex Dictamni). The active constituents in this herb can scavenge free radicals, thereby exerting an anti-aging effect. Individuals who habitually consume greasy foods are prone to developing damp-heat in the Spleen and Stomach—a contributing factor to elevated blood lipid levels. Hyperlipidemia, in turn, promotes arterial hardening (atherosclerosis), and prolonged elevation of blood lipids may ultimately lead to hypertension.
