Goosegrass has excellent effects in dispelling wind and cold, opening nasal passages, stopping coughing, detoxifying, and relieving itching. How can we generally use goosegrass?
Treating soft tissue contusions
Take 200 grams of fresh goosegrass, wash it with water and let it air dry. Then heat an iron pan and put the goosegrass in, flipping it several times before adding 100 milliliters of 60-degree rice wine. When it is hot, pour it into a double-layered gauze and rub it on the affected area.
Treating corns
Peel the thick skin of the corn, then mash fresh goosegrass and apply it to the affected area. After 3 to 5 days, remove it.

Grind goosegrass into fine powder and inhale it through the nostrils several times a day. Initially, there may be discomfort such as a runny nose and tearing.
Treating bruises and sprains
