Luobuma root can treat heart disease. Luobuma root has effects such as clearing heat, promoting diuresis, sedation, anticonvulsion, and enhancing myocardial contractility. It helps coronary heart disease patients regulate liver and kidney meridians, reduce blood lipid levels, and improve immune function, thereby achieving therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease. However, this medication should not be taken long-term; it is necessary to discontinue use appropriately to prevent adverse symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
