Folding ear root is a Chinese medicine fishweed alias. Fishweed in water can play a certain role in clearing away heat and detoxification and other effects, but the active ingredients of the drug are difficult to precipitate when brewing water, so it often fails to achieve the effect of healing.
Fishweed is the dried above-ground part or fresh grass of Houttuynia cordata, family Houttuyniaceae. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying toxins, eliminating carbuncles and draining pus, and diuretic and diaphoretic (improving the problem of dribbling in urine and the problem of small amount of unavailability of urine).
It is used for treating lung carbuncles, heat sores and carbuncles (sores and carbuncles that appear on the surface of the skin due to excessive heat and toxins in the body), gonorrhea (increased frequency of urination, dribbling and astringent pain), and swollen and painful hemorrhoids. Adverse reactions to Fritillariae are occasionally diarrhea and stomach upset. Contraindications are not clear. Fishweed is contraindicated in cold deficiency and yin sores.
Before taking this medicine, you need a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the evidence and use the medicine under the guidance of the doctor, you can not take the medicine on your own, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
