Popular in Chinese medicine, this herb is considered a remedy for bloated stomach, pressure in the chest, chills, fever, indigestion, malaria, menstrual problems, nausea, uterine prolapse, and vertigo. Its effectiveness for these problems has not been scientifically verified; but clinical tests suggest that it might be effective in the treatment of flu and tuberculosis. The Chinese regard this herb as especially useful for reducing fever and relieving irritability. Only the root is considered medicinal.
