This uncommon Chinese herbal medicine is actually a wild weed, and its name has scared off many people seeking medicine

Summer is drawing closer and closer, and many wild vegetables are now officially coming onto the market, among which there is one very popular wild vegetable.

This wild vegetable is called Andrographis paniculata, but it has little to do with the plant of extremely high medicinal value we are talking about today; they merely share the same name.

This plant is called Andrographis paniculata, and Andrographis paniculata is divided into a vegetable version and a Chinese herbal medicine version. The Chinese herbal medicine version of Andrographis paniculata is also called Lanhe lian, Jinxiang cao, Chunlian qiuliu, and so on, and because of its name it once scared off many people seeking medicine.

Andrographis paniculata is an annual herbaceous plant. It has effects such as reducing swelling and relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, and reducing inflammation, and can be used to treat diseases such as gastroenteritis, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, cholecystitis, high blood pressure, and venomous snake bites.
