Pharmacological Effects:
The main components of Lian Zi Xin (Lotus Plumule) are known for their ability to clear excess heart heat and calm the spirit. This herb is particularly effective for conditions caused by an overactive heart fire, such as dry mouth, insomnia, and vivid dreams. It helps to clear internal heat and detoxify the body, and it has a sedative effect, commonly used to treat heart-related symptoms such as agitation, restlessness, and insomnia.
In addition, Lian Zi Xin also works to clear heat and detoxify the body, reducing the burden of internal heat on the heart and blood vessels. It has antimicrobial and antiviral properties, making it useful for treating conditions caused by excess heat and dampness, such as mouth ulcers and certain skin conditions.
Modern research indicates that Lian Zi Xin contains active bio-compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which help enhance immunity, improve endocrine function, and reduce inflammation. It is also believed to have a mild blood pressure-lowering effect, providing supplementary support for individuals with hypertension.
