Dr. Zhang Xiuhong

The main component of Scrophularia is scrophuloside, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-aging, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Scrophularia can also lower cholesterol levels in the blood, maintain cardiovascular health, and help prevent diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and heart attacks. It offers significant protective effects on the liver by inhibiting liver cell damage, reducing hepatic inflammation, and improving liver function. Additionally, Scrophularia promotes blood circulation, enhances immune function, helps delay aging, improves skin condition, and slows down the aging process.

Scrophularia is cold in nature and should be used with caution by individuals with deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach to avoid exacerbating symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Patients should use Scrophularia only under the guidance of a physician to prevent adverse reactions from self-medication.
