What are the effects of lotus money grass

Lotus money grass can be found in most parts of my country, especially in rural areas. It is also called money grass, falling money grass, etc. It is the dried above-ground part of the blood-activating dandelion. Unexpectedly, this usually inconspicuous perennial vine can also be used as a Chinese herbal medicine for treating diseases, and its medicinal value is also quite high. Lotus money grass can be eaten or used externally. It has the effects of promoting dampness and relieving stranguria, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Of course, the specific effects are definitely not limited to these. Let's talk about it in detail below.
