It lives in the wild in many countries and is a perennial plant of the Caryophyllaceae family. The color of the flowers is very beautiful, so it can be regarded as an ornamental plant. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it has a very cold nature. After consuming it, the coldness in the body will increase significantly. Because it contains a relatively large amount of saponins, it has a certain detoxifying effect. It is very suitable for drinking in water during the hot summer to eliminate the heat.

2. Lowers Blood Pressure

It is rich in potassium and relatively low in sodium, which is very typical for this type of medicinal material. After soaking it in water or boiling it, the potassium in it will dissolve in the water in large quantities. After eating it, it can regulate the body and reduce the pressure in blood vessels. It is very suitable for people with hypertension.

3. Promote menstruation

It also has a certain function in activating menstrual blood circulation. If a girl has irregular menstruation, drinking it as tea or other traditional Chinese medicine three to five days before her period can help normalize her menstruation. But please note that it is cold in nature, so you cannot eat too much during this period, otherwise the uterine cold will worsen.

4. Diuretic

Because it contains a lot of potassium ions, it helps the excretion and reabsorption of urine. Moderate consumption of this type of medicine can help enhance kidney function and aid urination. Because this type of medicine is cold in nature, it can also be used if the bladder is very hot and dry. Hospitals often use it to treat gonorrhea, and the effect is very good.
