What are the benefits and effects of Mo Pan Zi (Grindstone Plant) herbal medicine?
The herbal medicine referred to as the "grinding plate" is actually Abutilon indicum. Abutilon indicum has the effects of dispersing wind-heat, resolving phlegm and stopping cough, as well as reducing swelling and detoxifying. However, it should be used after being prescribed by a doctor based on syndrome differentiation and should not be taken blindly. Abutilon indicum has a sweet and mild taste, with a cool nature, and is associated with the lung and kidney meridians. It can disperse wind-heat, resolve phlegm and stop cough, as well as reduce swelling and detoxify. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as cold and fever, cough, diarrhea, deafness, otitis media, pharyngitis, mumps, urinary tract infections, traumatic injuries, and skin and subcutaneous tissue infections. However, when taking medication, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, taking the medication on time and in the correct dosage, and not taking too much to avoid adverse effects. People who are allergic to this medicine and pregnant women should avoid taking it to prevent discomfort after taking it. If discomfort occurs after taking the medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor promptly to avoid affecting health. During medication, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol, and refrain from eating spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and pepper, as these may affect the normal efficacy of the medication and prevent it from achieving the desired therapeutic effect. Drinking more lukewarm water can replenish the body's water and is beneficial for disease recovery.
