Interactions

Notes

  • In some regions of southern China it is drunk as a tea to prevent Summerheat disorders.
  • For constipation it is usually taken alone as a tea.
  • Its sticky, slippery quality allows it to enter the Colon and clear deep-seated Heat and constipation.
  • It is particularly well suited to habitual constipation.
  • Steeping 3g in boiling water and drinking the infusion produces a mild purgative effect; larger amounts can cause pain, rumbling and watery diarrhea.
  • It acts much like Rx. et Rz. Rhei Da Huang and is effective for treating edema.
