History

First appeared in Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica, classified as upper class.

Traditional Usage

Made from crushed oyster shell, muli is salty, astringent and cool in nature, entering the liver and kidney channels. It calms liver yang, helping to relieve symptoms of sadness, insomnia and dizziness; dissipates nodules; neutralises stomach acid; and prevents excessive loss of fluids such as profuse sweating.

Modern Research

Its extract is able to inhibit the growth of poliovirus in vivo.
