Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, An Ye is decocted into teas and aromatic infusions to clear the lungs, ease the chest, and refresh the head. It is often brewed alone or blended with mint, chrysanthemum, and honeysuckle for a cooling daily tea. In southern Chinese households, the leaves are also simmered for steam inhalation and added to foot-soak water to warm the feet and lighten the body.
