Artemisia annua has the effect of clearing heat and inducing dampness, and can be used to treat rheumatism and paralysis, jaundice and other effects.
Artemisia annua is a Chinese herb with a bitter, slightly sweet taste and cool nature, which has the effects of clearing heat and diuresis (removing heat and dampness from the body), cooling blood and stopping bleeding (cooling and moistening the blood to prevent bleeding).
Artemisia can treat damp-heat jaundice, hot diarrhea, rheumatism paralysis, and can also treat heat and toxicity (fire in the body is too exuberant) resulting in lung heat, coughing and wheezing, sore throat, as well as coughing up blood, spitting out blood, traumatic bleeding and other conditions.
The adverse reactions and contraindications of Artemisia annua are not clear, and its use needs to be under the guidance of a TCM physician to identify the evidence, and should not be used without authorization, so as to avoid the wrong medicine and damage to the body.
