Hepatitis B belongs to the category of jaundice and dystocia (pain in the region of the ribs) in traditional Chinese medicine. Andrographis paniculata is effective in relieving damp-heat hepatitis B, but whether it is effective or not is mainly determined by the patient’s condition and the patient’s physical tolerance, and the symptomatic treatment is the only way to receive good results.
Andrographis has the efficacy of clearing away heat and dampness, dispelling wind and clearing collaterals, detoxifying and eliminating swelling, and it is mainly used for tuberculosis, jaundice with damp-heat, pain in the ribs, bruises and pain in bruises, and rheumatism and paralysis, and so on. Therefore, Penetrating Stone has some therapeutic effect on damp-heat type B hepatitis.
It is important to note that the effect of a single Chinese medicine is weak, and other medicines can be used together under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Pregnant women should not take Andrographis paniculata.
