The Chinese medicine yuzhu has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness (treating dryness in the body by replenishing yin), generating fluids and quenching thirst (quenching thirst by secretion of saliva), and is useful in treating dryness and heat coughs (coughs caused by feeling heat or dryness), and thirst due to injury to fluids (thirst occurs as a result of insufficient fluids), and other conditions.
Jade Bamboo is the rhizome of Jade Bamboo, a plant of the genus Rhizoma Polygonatum, family Liliaceae. It is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and belongs to the lung and stomach meridians. Clinically, it is mainly used for the treatment of dry-heat cough, thirst due to insufficient fluid, external sensation due to yin deficiency, headache and body heat.
The adverse effects of yuzhu are not known, but it should be noted that it is forbidden to be taken by people with phlegm-dampness and stagnant qi, and should be taken with caution by people with spleen deficiency and loose stools.
Relying on a single medicine to treat the disease is usually limited in efficacy, if discomfort occurs, the patient should consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to use medication.
