The Benefits of Sterculia lychnophora
Diuretic and Anti-swelling: Sterculia lychnophora contains natural diuretic components. When infused in water and consumed, it effectively promotes urine production, aiding in relieving edema and promoting kidney function. Sterculia lychnophora gently stimulates the kidneys, accelerating urine excretion, which is the main reason for its diuretic effect.
Relieves Constipation: Sterculia lychnophora contains mild stimulants for the intestines, promoting bowel movement and reducing constipation. Additionally, its medicinal compounds exhibit antiviral properties, inhibiting virus growth in the intestines. This can help prevent colorectal cancer, colon cancer, and hemorrhoids.
Hypertension Prevention: Certain nutrients in Sterculia lychnophora can influence the central nervous system, enhance cardiovascular function, and improve blood circulation. Regular consumption in moderation can help prevent hypertension.
Heart Function Regulation: The polysaccharides and fucoidan in Sterculia lychnophora can strengthen the cardiovascular system, improving heart function and lung capacity. This, in turn, can help prevent heart diseases.
Skin Improvement: Sterculia lychnophora has the ability to absorb excess oil and reduce sebum secretion. This assists in cleansing the skin, improving roughness, dullness, and maintaining skin elasticity and radiance.
Throat Soothing: Sterculia lychnophora's cool nature affects the lung meridian and is effective in soothing and clearing the throat. It can relieve sore throat symptoms by reducing lung heat and is often used in combination with other heat-clearing and throat-relieving herbs.
