The Efficacy and Functions of Tiger Thorn
Disease description:
I heard that Hu La Ci (a Chinese herb) can clear heat and detoxify. Could you please tell me what other benefits it has?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Ziyi
In addition to clearing heat and detoxifying, Motella (Tiger Thorn) also has the effects of dispelling wind, eliminating dampness, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. With its cool nature, Tiger Thorn can be used to treat lung-heat cough, suppurative tonsillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, itchy rashes due to wind rash, as well as boils and carbuncles. It is also effective in dispelling wind and dampness, and is commonly used clinically for treating rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, Tiger Thorn shows good therapeutic effects on sore throat, toothache, and traumatic injuries. However, it should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor to achieve optimal results.
