Purple ginger is also known as Rocky Ginger, which has the effects of activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, dispelling wind and removing dampness, and can be used in the treatment of bruises, bone fractures, menstrual disorders and other conditions.
The medicinal source of Purple Ginger is the rhizome of Southwestern Ghost Lantern Bush and Feather Leaf Ghost Lantern Bush of the Tiger’s Ear family. It is cool in nature, and its effects include invigorating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, dispelling wind and removing dampness, and astringing and stopping diarrhea. It is beneficial in treating or improving bruises, fractures, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, rheumatic pain, traumatic bleeding, enteritis and other conditions.
It is worth reminding that purple ginger has the effect of activating blood, so pregnant women should be prohibited. In addition, the choice and use of Chinese herbs is recommended under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the evidence, not to take the drug on their own, so as to avoid the wrong condition.
