Traditional Uses

In Chinese folk herbalism, Liu Yue Xue has long been gathered in early summer and simmered whole, often with roots included, for daily decoctions. It is traditionally paired with herbs such as Ji Gu Cao or honeysuckle in cooling summer drinks, and rural households have also used the boiled liquid externally for skin comfort. In TCM theory it is considered bitter, cool, and entering the liver and spleen channels.
