Fishweed is a medicinal substance, soak water to drink can play a role in clearing away heat and detoxification, but it is difficult to achieve medicinal efficacy, the treatment of diseases need to be based on the physician’s evidence under the guidance of the main use of medicines.
Fishweed has the effect of clearing away heat and removing toxins, eliminating canker sores and pus, diuretic and diaphoretic (to improve the urine dribbling, the urine volume is not enough to get through the problem). It can be used for treating lung carbuncle and pus, lung-heat cough, heat-poisoned sores and carbuncles (sores and carbuncles appearing on the surface of the skin due to excessive heat and toxins in the body), damp-heat gonorrhea (increased frequency of urination, drenching and astringent pain), and damp-heat diarrhea (diarrhea caused by feeling damp-heat evils), and other conditions.
Fishwort in water can play a similar role to the above, but the active ingredients of the drug in water are limited. Patients with symptoms need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional physician to identify and rationalize the use of medication, so as not to delay the condition.
