The efficacy of the Chinese herb Alisma (Ze Xie)

Alisma is a commonly used herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying the body. It primarily consists of ingredients such as Platycodon root, Siwu (a traditional formula), Immature Bitter Orange, Reed Rhizome, White Peony Root, Poria, and Atractylodes. It has various therapeutic effects, including clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving exterior symptoms and clearing the liver, reducing swelling, and alleviating pain. Alisma can be used to treat symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and conditions involving phlegm-damp-heat. Additionally, it promotes blood circulation to remove blood stasis, moistens the intestines, and relieves constipation.
