The dried aerial part of Glechoma longituba (Lamiaceae). Cool, pungent and bitter, entering the Liver, Kidney, and Bladder channels. Clears heat, drains dampness, and frees strangury to expel stones; a folk remedy for urolithiasis. Also resolves toxicity and reduces swelling; fresh herb poultice is effective externally for sores and bruises.
Reference range for non-pregnant adults. Not a personalized prescription. Pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric use require specialist supervision.
Protective guidance only — when to avoid or use with caution. This block deliberately omits pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric dosing: any such use must be managed by a qualified TCM practitioner or appropriate specialist.
