Expelling wind, removing dampness, anti-inflammatory and analgesic

Efficacy and functions of lamb's ear chrysanthemum

The dispelling and dehumidifying effect of lamb's ear comes from its active ingredients such as flavonoids and volatile oils, which can effectively relieve joint swelling and pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Studies show that its anti-inflammatory effects are similar to those of NSAIDs, but with fewer side effects. In addition, Lamb's Day extract also has a significant inhibitory effect on neuropathic pain and is suitable for people with long-term strain or muscle soreness after exercise.

Promotes blood circulation, relieves pain and bruises

In terms of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, Lamb's Fragrance can promote local microcirculation and accelerate the dissipation of congestion. It is often used as an auxiliary treatment for bruises and injuries. Folks often crush it for external application and take it internally to enhance the effect. Modern pharmacological experiments show that its active ingredients can shorten the coagulation time and reduce tissue edema, and is suitable for the recovery period of sprains or mild trauma.

Heat-clearing, detoxifying and respiratory applications

The heat-clearing and detoxifying properties of Lamb's Fragrance have a certain effect on relieving wind-heat colds and sore throat. Its volatile oil components can inhibit a variety of respiratory pathogenic bacteria and relieve symptoms of cough and phlegm. In the south, it is often used in combination with honeysuckle and mint to make tea to prevent seasonal influenza.

Comprehensive application and precautions

Although lamb's ear chrysanthemum has many uses, it needs to be used based on syndrome differentiation. Pregnant women and those with weak constitution should use it with caution to avoid excessive gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to combine other medicinal materials according to your constitution under the guidance of a doctor, such as combining angelica to enhance the blood-activating effect, or astragalus to nourish qi and strengthen the surface. For daily use, it is mainly decoction or soaked in wine. For external application, pay attention to skin allergy testing.
