Dr. Zhang Ziyi
Scrophularia has the effects of warming and tonifying the liver and kidneys, strengthening the spleen to treat deficiency, invigorating Qi, and calming the mind. It is a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicine for treating various diseases. Scrophularia is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, which help regulate the body's immune system, enhance resistance, and prevent disease. Amino acids such as phenylalanine and glutamine in Scrophularia can inhibit cholesterol synthesis, helping to lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Various organic acids in Scrophularia can suppress intestinal inflammation, improve digestive system function, and assist in treating indigestion, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal disorders.
