1. Highly ornamental

When it comes to the effects of Chinese trumpet creeper, its ornamental value is what flower enthusiasts care about most, after all, it is one of the famous garden flowers. Its flowers are funnel-shaped, bright red or golden yellow, and brightly colored. Chinese trumpet creeper has a long flowering period; when it blooms, the branch tips continue to spread and grow, and the new shoots bloom in succession. That scenery is truly breathtaking!

2. Medicinally able to treat a hundred ailments

Chinese trumpet creeper is also called Ziwei, Jihua, Ziweihua, Youhua, Lingxiao flower, abortion flower, vine flower and so on. It is a flower with amazing medicinal value. It not only has the benefits of clearing heat and cooling the blood, resolving stasis and dispersing masses, and dispelling wind and relieving itching, but also has the effect of treating blood-stasis amenorrhea and painful menstruation, metrorrhagia and spotting, and blood-heat wind itching. Even more impressively, Chinese trumpet creeper can treat a hundred ailments. The specific ailments are the following 6 kinds:

① Treating women's and young women's blocked menstruation

When it comes to the effects of Chinese trumpet creeper, the first is treating gynecological diseases. Prepare 100 grams of Chinese trumpet creeper, and 50 grams each of dong quai and mao. Grind the above into a fine powder. Take 10 grams mixed with cold wine on an empty stomach. If about ten li have been traveled, take one more dose mixed with hot wine. It can not only treat women's and young women's blocked menstruation, but also treat all blood ailments such as pain around the navel and abdomen in women.

② Treating women's amenorrhea

Grind Chinese trumpet creeper into powder and take 10 grams each time, swallowing it with warm wine before taking. Although this method cannot cure women's diseases at the root, it is still quite good for treating women's amenorrhea.

③ Treating bleeding after defecation

If you have bleeding after defecation, you can soak Chinese trumpet creeper in wine and drink it, which has an improving effect on the body.

④ Treating metrorrhagia and spotting

In ancient times, medicine was not developed, and pregnant women often suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, so the phenomenon of losing both mother and child was extremely serious. Chinese trumpet creeper powder has a very good effect on this; take one square-inch spoonful with warm wine, and there will be improvement after three consecutive days.

⑤ Treating itching all over the body

Grind Chinese trumpet creeper into powder and take 5 grams mixed with wine. After taking it for several consecutive days, the symptom of itching all over the body will lessen until it disappears.

Regarding the benefits and effects of Chinese trumpet creeper, much has been introduced above, and I believe everyone has been amazed. However, although Chinese trumpet creeper is good, it is not suitable for everyone. It is understood that Chinese trumpet creeper also has contraindications, namely that those with weak qi and blood and pregnant women should avoid taking Chinese trumpet creeper. Some ancient books have corresponding records on this:

① "Treatise on the Nature of Medicinals": "It fears brine salt." ② "Essentials of Materia Medica Classification": "It must not be taken during pregnancy." ③ "Commentary on the Materia Medica": "It excels at breaking blood and dispersing stasis. For any woman with weak qi and blood, it should not be used at all, and it is definitely unsuitable for use before treatment."

Children should be careful; pregnant women can grow it

Is Chinese trumpet creeper poisonous? Obviously it is non-toxic, but the proponents of the poisonous theory got one thing right, and that is that children should not touch Chinese trumpet creeper. The "touch" here is not simple contact, but playing beside Chinese trumpet creeper for a long time, which is not allowed. This is because the fragrance of Chinese trumpet creeper is rather strong, and smelling it for a long time can harm the brain!

Especially since children are still in the stage of growth and development, the floral fragrance has a greater effect on them, and the pollen is also more irritating to the eyes.
