Dr. He Haochen
Purslane exhibits potent anti-edematous, detoxifying, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-dysenteric effects. Additionally, purslane can reduce blood viscosity, promote vasodilation, and inhibit platelet aggregation, thereby playing a beneficial role in both the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. For individuals who spend prolonged periods working at a computer, regularly consuming purslane is especially recommended, as it effectively supports eye health and visual acuity.
