Doctor's answer (1)
Mulberry root possesses hypoglycemic, diuretic, dampness-resolving, and detoxifying properties. It also helps dispel wind, unblock the meridians, tonify Qi and blood, clear heat and fire, and delay aging.
Mulberry root is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. In daily life, if symptoms such as cough, toothache, or “excess heat” (a TCM concept referring to inflammatory or hyperactive conditions) occur, a small amount of mulberry root may be steeped in hot water for drinking to help eliminate toxins from the body—however, excessive consumption should be avoided.
It is recommended to use mulberry root only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
