The medicinal properties of Cyperus rotundus processed with vinegar also undergo some changes. Cyperus rotundus itself has a mild medicinal property, the raw Cyperus rotundus has a cold medicinal property, while the vinegar-processed Cyperus rotundus has a warm medicinal property.

Xiangfu has the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. It can be used to treat symptoms such as chest and abdominal distension and pain, and irregular menstruation caused by liver depression and qi stagnation. Vinegar-coated Cyperus rotundus is made from Cyperus rotundus vinegar, which not only enhances the effect of regulating qi and relieving pain, but also has miraculous effects in treating irregular menstruation and chest and abdominal distension and pain caused by liver depression and qi stagnation.

Vinegar-scented Cyperus rotundus cannot be stir-fried in an iron pan. Not only vinegar-scented Cyperus rotundus, but most Chinese medicines are not suitable for stir-frying or decocting in an iron pan.

Because many Chinese medicines are acidic, they will corrode the containers and react with the metal ions in the iron pot. In mild cases, they will cause the drugs to become ineffective, and in severe cases, they will produce some harmful substances that are harmful to the human body.

Not only iron pots, but also aluminum pots and other metals are not recommended for preparing Chinese medicine. You can use pottery pots or casseroles.
