1.Clear Heat and Detoxify
In traditional Chinese medicine, fish is considered to be cold in nature and belongs to the lung meridian. It has the effect of alleviating symptoms such as lung heat-induced cough, swollen throat, sore throat, and abscesses and toxins. Both the fresh and dried forms can be used for external application by crushing and applying, or for internal use by decocting. Both methods can help clear and detoxify heat toxins.
2.Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
The fishinulin (decylglyoxal) in fish has inhibitory effects on pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and influenza bacillus. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for respiratory tract infections and urinary system inflammations.
3.Diuretic and Anti-Bloating
Its component quercetin can promote capillary dilation, increase renal blood flow, help eliminate excess water, and relieve edema or poor urination.
4.Regulating immunity
Studies have shown that the polysaccharides of Houttuynia cordata can enhance the activity of macrophages and improve the non-specific immune function of the body. However, the specific mechanism still needs to be further verified.
5.Auxiliary hypoglycemic effect
Animal experiments have shown that the extract of Houttuynia cordata may delay sugar absorption by inhibiting the activity of glycosidase, but its clinical effect on human diabetes has not been clearly determined and it cannot replace drug treatment.
