Use as medicine

Its roots can be used as medicine to relieve symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, neurasthenia, and dizziness. It can also be used externally to reduce swelling, remove blood stasis and treat injuries. Also, in northern Vietnam, its roots are used as an anti-dysentery medicine and a tonic.

We can dig its roots in winter, wash and slice them, and then dry them for internal or external use. The specific method of internal use is to take three to five cents of it and boil it into a soup and drink it.
