Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Dong Ling Cao is decocted alone or combined with other herbs to make a cooling daily tea, especially during warm seasons. It is often brewed with ingredients like honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, or liquorice root to soften its bitterness and round out the flavor. In some regional traditions, it is simmered into light herbal soups or taken as a simple infusion after meals.
