What are the benefits and functions of Aowujiao Grass?

Aowojiaocao is commonly referred to as Pyrrhia in China.

Pyrrhia generally has the effects of assisting in cooling the blood, regulating the lungs, promoting urine excretion, and alleviating cough. However, it is not recommended to use it privately for treating diseases.

1. Assisting in Cooling the Blood

Pyrrhia is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with a cold nature and a sweet taste. If one is frequently exposed to high temperatures and heat, wind-heat evil may enter the body through the skin, leading to an excess of wind-heat evil, affecting blood circulation, and causing blood-heat. Pyrrhia can be used as directed by a physician to reduce wind-heat evil in the body and slow blood circulation.

2. Assisting in Regulating the Lungs

An excess of wind-heat evil may also irritate the lungs, leading to symptoms of lung-fire excess and affecting lung ventilation. Pyrrhia can be used under a physician's guidance to help clear lung heat.

3. Assisting in Promoting Urine Excretion

Internal heat in the body may enter the bladder and other areas through blood circulation, leading to symptoms of damp-heat descending and causing frequent urination and incomplete urination. Pyrrhia can be used as directed by a physician to help regulate blood circulation and promote urine excretion.

4. Assisting in Alleviating Cough

Excess lung heat can irritate the lungs, causing frequent cough and pale complexion. Pyrrhia can be used as directed by a physician to gradually alleviate cough.

Note that if one's immune organs have an allergic reaction to the medicinal components in Pyrrhia, it is not recommended for use to avoid skin itching. Additionally, Pyrrhia has a cold nature, so those with spleen-stomach deficiency and loose stool should use it with caution. It is recommended to develop habits of drinking more water and urinating frequently. If one feels unwell, it is advisable to seek treatment at a formal hospital.
