Its primary use is to drain dampness and promote urination, making it a useful treatment for oedema. It also calms the spirit, resolving conditions including insomnia and palpitations.
Modern Research
Found to have diuretic, sedative and anti-tumour effects. The decoction of the herb is an immune enhancer.
