This product is a perennial climbing herbaceous plant of the Polygonaceae family, with medicinal tuberous roots. It has a bitter-sweet taste and neutral nature, capable of both detoxification and tonification—a truly dual-purpose ingredient. Its red color enters the blood, nourishing blood and calming the spirit while also regulating the liver and lowering lipids.

1. Bitter taste—promotes bowel movement, treats malaria, skin warts, scrofula, and whooping cough.
2. Sweet taste—darkens hair and strengthens the kidneys.
3. Red color—enters the blood to calm, aid sleep, lower cholesterol, and treat post-concussion sequelae.
