The efficacy and function of cattail grass

1. Use as medicine

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, cattail grass can be harvested at any time and used as medicine. After collection, it needs to be washed with water and then dried in the sun, so that it can be used as medicine.

According to research, cattail grass can be mainly used to relieve lung heat and remove toxins from the body. It also has a sweet, slightly stimulating taste and a cold nature, and can be used to regulate the lungs and liver. In addition, it can play the important role of resolving phlegm, relieving cough and treating hemostasis. Many people regard it as the first choice of traditional Chinese medicine for cough caused by lung heat.

2. Stop bleeding

It has been mentioned above that cattail grass can be used to stop bleeding when used as medicine. In fact, even if it is not used as medicine, cattail grass can also have a miraculous effect in stopping bleeding. If you grind cattail grass into powder, and if you have a wound that won't stop bleeding, just sprinkle the cattail grass powder evenly on the corresponding wound area, or apply it to the wound with gauze, it can stop the bleeding immediately and the effect is relatively long-lasting.

3. Treat gastrointestinal diseases

Recently, research on the western medicine uses of cattail grass has also made progress. The special ingredients in cattail grass can be used to protect the integrity of the mucous membrane on the surface of the skin. By utilizing this function and combining it with certain Western medicine techniques, it can repair gastric bleeding, relieve gastrointestinal inflammation, kill viruses, promote faster wound healing, and effectively prevent cells from being infected again during the healing process.

4. Treat cough

Since cattail grass itself is cool in nature, it can clear the lung heat generated in the human body. It can also dissolve the phlegm accumulated in the trachea and expel it after dissolving it, which can play a role in relieving cough. In actual treatment, about 8 grams of cattail grass is usually taken and boiled with clean water. After boiling, the patient can take it directly.
