Anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antipyretic
This is an important herb for arthritic and rheumatic conditions
that exhibit pain, swelling, and redness and for muscular
spasms. Chinese herbalists recommend this herb for the treatment
of asthenic fever associated with wasting, such as infantile
malnutrition, tuberculosis (TB) and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS). For these conditions, it is combined with
anemarrhena and lycii root bark. It is also used as a diuretic
and as a laxative. It is effective for relieving jaundice
and dysuria.
