Qian Cao is a Chinese herb with a sweet, salty taste and slightly cold nature, which belongs to the liver, gallbladder, kidney and bladder meridians. It has the effect of inducing dampness and relieving yellowing, diuretic and diaphoretic (to improve the problem of dribbling in urine, and the problem of insufficient and inaccessible urine volume), detoxifying and reducing swelling. It is useful in treating jaundice, edema, rheumatic paralysis, malaria, diarrhea, gonorrhea, carbuncle, sores and ringworm.
Qianqiang has the effect of diuretic and diuresis, lithification and stone removal, so drinking Qianqiang can be used to treat kidney stones.
Moneywort is cold in nature, so it is not suitable to be taken in large quantities for a long time as a single medicine for all cases of external wind-cold, internal cold injury, spleen and stomach deficiency (spleen and stomach weakness and cold), and kidney yang deficiency (deficiency of yang qi in kidneys). Qian Cao can promote diuresis and lymphatic drainage, and long-term use of it may cause injury to fluids and depletion of the body’s vital energy. It should not be taken in large quantities for a long period of time by people with deficiency of yin, low fluid and weak qi. It should be used with caution for those without water-dampness. Not suitable for pregnant women.
