Baihuashe Shecao, also known as Oldenlandia diffusa, is a commonly used traditional Chinese herb that has functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, reducing swelling and alleviating pain. It is primarily used in the treatment of various infectious diseases such as sore throat, tonsillitis, enteritis, and dysentery. It also shows certain therapeutic effects on urinary system disorders such as urinary tract infections and nephritis.
Baihuashe Shecao has significant functions of dispelling wind and eliminating dampness. It is often used to treat rheumatic pain, muscle and bone pain, and also shows good therapeutic effects for skin conditions caused by rheumatism and fractures. Moreover, Baihuashe Shecao promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, making it effective for treating dysmenorrhea, bruises, and contusions. Its multiple active ingredients help improve blood circulation and alleviate pain caused by blood stasis and swelling. Additionally, Baihuashe Shecao can enhance immunity, increase hemoglobin levels, and delay aging. Furthermore, Baihuashe Shecao is often used as an adjunctive treatment for tumors, as various alkaloids and flavonoids contained in it are believed to have certain anti-tumor activity.
The usual method of administration is decoction for oral intake, with a dosage ranging from 1 to 30 grams. However, individuals with spleen deficiency, loose stool, or diarrhea should use it with caution.
