After administration, Pinellia praeparata can treat carbuncles, abscesses, and snake bites. It also moistens the lungs, relieves coughing, and enhances respiratory function. When people experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux, taking an appropriate amount of Pinellia praeparata can help suppress stomach rebellion and alleviate these symptoms. However, patients should use this herb only under medical supervision and must not take it blindly on their own to avoid adverse reactions and potential harm to health.
