Pictures of Chinese medicine Prunella vulgaris

The Chinese medicinal material Prunella Vulgaris is harvested in the summer when the flower spikes are half-dry, so there is a word "Xia" in its name. Apple Green Natural Chinese Medicine masters say that Prunella Vulgaris is a Chinese medicinal material. Its main growth environment is in the grass on barren mountains, roadsides, and hillsides. For those who lack Chinese medicine health care methods, they will find Prunella Vulgaris unfamiliar. Let me introduce Prunella Vulgaris to you and let's learn about it together.

It is recorded in Shennong's Herbal Classic that Prunella Vulgaris "treats heat and cold, scrofula, fistula, head sores, ruptures, and disperses goiter, gas accumulation, and swelling and dampness of the feet." Hence, Prunella Vulgaris is the origin of disease prevention. Apple Green Natural Chinese Medicine Master said that Prunella Vulgaris is a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and dampness. Generally, people with excessive liver and gallbladder fire can use Prunella Vulgaris to treat symptoms such as irritability, eye pain, red and swollen eyes, dry mouth, bitter mouth, bad breath, headache and dizziness, and everyone has achieved satisfactory treatment results. The effect of Prunella Vulgaris in clearing away liver fire can be clearly reflected. In addition, the extract of Prunella Vulgaris also has the effects of anti-arrhythmia and relieving depression. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat lymph tuberculosis, heart problems, mastitis, thyroid nodules and other diseases.

As the saying goes, "all medicines are poisonous to the point of being cold", and the effects of Prunella Vulgaris tend to be cold in nature, and it is mainly used to treat some "hot" diseases. Therefore, it is not suitable for people with a cold constitution, so pregnant women and children must be careful. Apple Green Natural Chinese Medicine Master said that Prunella Vulgaris can only exert its therapeutic effect if it is used properly, so you must be careful not to let the medicine become drug poison and harm the body. When using Prunella Vulgaris, you must communicate with the doctor more, because some medicines will cause some side effects when combined, and some people with certain constitutions will also have unpleasant things when using medicines. In order to avoid this, everyone should use it properly.

This is the end of the introduction of Prunella Vulgaris as a Chinese herbal medicine. I believe everyone has seen that the difference between medicine and food is that the partiality of medicine is greater than that of food. Therefore, when using Prunella Vulgaris, you must pay attention to the usage and dosage. You cannot take the medicine on your own. It must be a prescription given by the doctor.
