Description

Excerpted from Benksy:  Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

  • Kills parasites:  While best for treating tapeworms, it is also useful in killing a wide variety of intestinal parasites including fasciolopsis, pinworms, and roundworms, as well as blood flukes.  The ability of the herb to drain downward helps in expelling the bodies of the parasites.*
  • Promotes the movement of qi, reduces accumulation, and leads stagnation out by mildly draining downward and unblocking the bowels:  for food accumulation and stagnant qi with abdominal distention, constipation, or tenesmus.*
  • Promotes the movement of qi and promotes urination:  for damp leg qi and edema due to excess.*
  • Also used for malarial disorders.*
