The Efficacy and Effects of Drinking Water Infused with Clematis Root

The effects and functions of drinking herbal tea made from Clematis (Wei Ling Xian) are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. **Expelling Wind and Eliminating Dampness**: Clematis has significant effects in dispelling wind and dampness, and is effective in treating symptoms such as rheumatic pain, limb numbness, and pain in the muscles and bones. Drinking Clematis-infused water can effectively alleviate these symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. 2. **Promoting Blood Circulation and Relieving Pain**: Drinking Clematis tea helps promote circulation through the meridians and relieve pain. It shows notable efficacy in alleviating conditions such as traumatic injuries, fish bone impaction in the throat, and breast swelling with pain. Its analgesic effect through meridian regulation is widely recognized in clinical practice. 3. **Relieving Bone Spur Discomfort**: Clematis also helps in relieving discomfort caused by bone spurs. Under the guidance of a physician, patients may combine Clematis with other herbs such as vinegar-processed licorice (Zhi Gan Cao), cinnamon (Guan Gui), and myrrh (Mo Yao) to enhance its effectiveness in treating bone spur-related symptoms. Patients should use Clematis appropriately under medical supervision.
