He Zi, also known as "Sesame Paste," contains ingredients such as sesame oil, dextrin, hawthorn powder, and dextrin. Its main effects include clearing heat and detoxifying the body, promoting diuresis and relieving constipation, moistening the lungs to stop coughing, lubricating the intestines to relieve constipation, nourishing and hydrating the skin, and exhibiting antibacterial and antiviral properties. He Zi can be used to treat symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, and sore throat. Additionally, it may be used in treating urinary system disorders such as frequent urination, urgency, and hematuria, as well as respiratory conditions including chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma. It is also effective for digestive system issues such as indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation. Although He Zi has various therapeutic benefits, it should not be taken in excess. It is recommended to take it under the guidance of a physician.
