Kudingcha (Ilex kudingcha) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with the following functions and effects:

1. Clearing heat and detoxifying: Kudingcha has significant effects in clearing heat and detoxifying, and is suitable for symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and oral ulcers caused by heat toxicity. Its active components can reduce inflammatory responses in the body and help promote the elimination of toxins.

2. Reducing swelling and relieving dampness: Kudingcha also helps alleviate swelling and dampness. It can relieve symptoms such as edema, reduced urine output, and jaundice caused by damp-heat. Its diuretic effect aids in expelling dampness from the body and improves discomfort caused by damp-heat.

3. Antibacterial and antimicrobial: Kudingcha contains multiple antibacterial components that can inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses, offering certain therapeutic adjunctive effects for diseases caused by infections.

As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Kudingcha should be used under the guidance of a doctor or licensed practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
