What is Yanghuzicao?

Yanghuzicao is a type of traditional Chinese medicine derived from the whole plant of the Cyperus lanceolatus, a species of Cyperaceae. It has medicinal value and can achieve the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, draining pus and removing dampness. However, it should be used under the guidance of a doctor and should not be used blindly.

After taking Yanghuzicao, it can help improve symptoms of internal heat excess, such as relieving oral ulcers and tongue sores. It can also help improve symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, liver fire, stomach fire, and lung fire. It can also assist in eliminating toxins from the body, which is beneficial for improving skin edema and pain caused by severe damp-heat. After patients experience symptoms such as allergic eczema, yellow water sores, and pediatric sheep beard sores, this medicine can be used for treatment.

The appropriate dosage and usage should be selected based on personal conditions, and it can be taken orally or applied externally. However, for individuals with deficient cold or deficient spleen and stomach, it is generally not recommended to use this medicine, as it may worsen their symptoms and have adverse effects on their bodies.
