Dr. He Haochen
Qinjiao has the effects of clearing heat, nourishing blood, and promoting urination. It can be used to treat symptoms such as cough due to lung heat, deficiency fatigue, cough caused by blood deficiency, indigestion, diarrhea, edema, and insomnia. Qinjiao clears heat-toxins from the body and alleviates symptoms of heat-related illnesses, such as fever, cough, and sore throat. It also nourishes the liver and kidneys, enhances blood circulation, thereby improving symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, dizziness, and dry mouth. In addition, Qinjiao has a diuretic effect that helps eliminate excess fluid from the body and relieve edema.
