The efficacy and function of five-leaf clover

1. Antibacterial

Decoction of clover in a test tube can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Pneumococcus. In addition, the tannic acid it contains can also play an antibacterial role.

2. Antidiarrhea

Clover can stop diarrhea. Boil it and feed it to rabbits to inhibit the activity of the small intestine and duodenum, and promote the retrograde peristalsis of the cecum, which can achieve the effect of stopping diarrhea. However, if the dosage is too large, it will promote the peristalsis of the large intestine.

3. Diuretic

Clover has a diuretic effect, and small doses can have a mild diuretic effect on rats.

4. Anti-virus

Boiling it in water can significantly inhibit certain influenzas. Its root is less effective, and the tannic acid it contains does not play a big role in fighting viruses.
