Cooling blood and stopping bleeding is one of the important effects of Artemisia argyi. When people experience symptoms such as nosebleeds and purple spots or vomiting blood, they can directly grind fresh Artemisia argyi and extract the juice, then dilute it with boiling water and consume it.
In addition, when treating purple spots on the skin, adding Rehmannia glutinosa, Paeonia lactiflora, and Angelica sinensis can enhance the therapeutic effect.

Artemisia argyi can clear heat and dampness. It has significant therapeutic effects on various damp-heat diseases, especially symptoms such as diarrhea, bloody or white, and anal burning. Taking Artemisia argyi can alleviate these symptoms.
In addition, Artemisia argyi also has certain therapeutic effects on chronic hepatitis and cholecystitis in humans, but it needs to be used in combination with Pinellia ternata, Rheum officinale, and Gardenia jasminoides.
