The roots act mainly on the spleen, lungs and stomach, raising secretion of body fluids and blood sugar levels, lowering the blood pressure and stimulating the immune system. The roots and the whole plant are taken internally in the treatment of low energy, poor appetite and digestion, anaemia, shallow breathing and debility after illness. The dried herb is used for treating poor appetite, loose stools, shortness of breath, cough, asthma, and weak and low voice, for shortness of breath and thirst due to consumption, and for dizziness and palpitation. |
