Banlangen Tea 200g

Traditional Chinese medicine attributes various properties to Ku Ding (and many other plants): the ability to disperse embarrassment, cleanse the head and eyes, and release toxins. For this reason, it is used for the common cold, rhinitis, itchy eyes, red eyes and headaches. It is also said to calm the nerves and relieve thirst, especially when suffering from an illness that causes fever or severe diarrhea. It transforms phlegm and relieves coughing, which is why it is used to treat bronchitis. Finally, it is said to facilitate digestion and improve concentration and memory. Some research suggests that the herb, both Ilex and Ligustrum, improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and lowers blood lipids, including cholesterol. It is reputed to prevent heart and brain deterioration and maintain proper body weight. Ku Ding tea made from robustum has also been found to have tea-like antioxidant effects, as well as anti-inflammatory properties.
