1. Clearing heat and detoxifying: It can treat symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle aches, and can also be used for infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever, and dysentery.
2. Promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis: It can treat conditions such as swelling, bruising, lymphadenitis, and varicose veins, as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases like cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
3. Promoting diuresis and reducing edema: It can treat symptoms such as edema, nephritis, and kidney stones, and can also help manage chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
