The medicinal value of Chinese herbal medicine Guanmutong is very high, but at the same time, it is highly toxic. Although it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and reducing inflammation, Guanmutong should never be used excessively. Therefore, we must pay attention to its usage when using it.
Usage 1
Guanmutong is effective in treating hot and painful urination, edema, as well as promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It can also relieve diarrhea caused by damp-heat, facilitating the elimination of damp-heat through urine.
It is often used in combination with Plantago seeds and Clematis to treat bladder damp-heat, short and red urine, dribbling urination, and painful urination. For edema, it is often used in combination with Poria and Mulberry bark.
Usage 2
Guanmutong is used to treat menstrual disorders and insufficient lactation. It can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, making it effective in treating blood stasis and menstrual disorders. It is often used in combination with Safflower, Peach kernel, and Salvia miltiorrhiza.
If Guanmutong is used to treat insufficient lactation or lactation obstruction, it can be used in combination with Herba Leonuri and Chinese pangolin. Guanmutong can also promote blood circulation in the meridians and relieve joint pain caused by damp-heat. It is often used in combination with Mulberry twigs and Coix seeds for this purpose.
Usage 3
Guanmutong can treat oral ulcers and red urine caused by heart irritation. It can clear the heart meridian heat and relieve intestinal heat, making it effective in treating conditions such as heart inflammation, oral ulcers, or red urine caused by the downward movement of heart fire into the intestines. It is often used in combination with Rehmannia root, Licorice, and Bamboo leaves.
