1. Stone removal

The polysaccharide components contained in Lysimachia christinae can strongly inhibit calcium oxalate crystals, and these crystals are the main culprit behind kidney stones. So Lysimachia christinae can effectively inhibit the formation of stones and has a good stone-removing effect.

2. Clearing heat

Lysimachia christinae has a "cold" property and a certain heat-clearing effect. When combined with medicinal herbs such as dandelion and Rohdea japonica, its heat-clearing effect is even better.

3. Anti-inflammatory

Lysimachia christinae contains certain flavonoids and has strong oxidizing capacity, and can inhibit the growth and reproduction of many bacteria, so it has a good anti-inflammatory effect.

4. Boosting immunity

Lysimachia christinae can enhance the activity of phagocytes in the body. As an indispensable part of the immune system, phagocytes can engulf invading bacteria and infected body cells. Lysimachia christinae can increase their activity, which is equivalent to improving the human body's immunity.

5. Treating venomous snake bites

Because Lysimachia christinae has a certain detoxifying effect, it can also be used for venomous snake bites. However, it is generally only used for simple initial treatment; for a complete cure, you still need to go to the hospital for professional treatment.
