[Application of Nuomi Vine in Treating Pediatric Food Stagnation]
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Nuomi Vine has the effect of cooling and reducing swelling. Whether applied topically as fresh Nuomi Vine or consumed as a decoction, it can effectively reduce swelling and inflammation.
The root of Nuomi Vine resembles ginseng, so it contains a lot of moisture. As long as the root is not damaged, this plant has strong vitality.
Nuomi Vine is widely distributed in southern China and often grows on embankments, field ridges, roadsides, hillsides, and moist ditches. It is not picky about its growing environment, as long as it is in a damp place.
The stems and leaves of Nuomi Vine are tender and all green. However, if it grows in a relatively dry place, the leaves will be darker green and the stems will be purplish-red, possibly due to absorbing more ultraviolet light. But their medicinal effects are the same.
When children have abdominal pain and food stagnation, drinking Nuomi Vine decoction a few times at home can be effective.
