A guide to Japanese Knotweed and its properties:
Traditional Use:
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this herb has been used for over 2,000 years, first recorded in the Supplementary Records of Famous Physicians during the late Han Dynasty. It is known for clearing heat, detoxifying, improving circulation, eliminating phlegm, and relieving coughs and asthma, thereby supporting overall systemic health. Traditionally, it has been used to treat traumatic injuries, jaundice, chronic infections, nervous disorders, hypertension, bronchitis, thick phlegm, and amenorrhoea from blood stagnation. It also appears in classical formulas for abscesses, burns, and snakebites and is valued for its anti-aging and longevity-promoting effects.
