About this herb
Japanese Knotweed Root, Hu Zhang.
Hu Zhang root, also called Japanese Knotweed, is a flowery perennial vine in the buckwheat family that is native to China, where it has been used for thousands of years in tonics to resolve toxicity. In traditional Asian herbal practices, it is known to enter the Liver, Gallbladder, and Lung channels. Records of its clinical use over the centuries depict a growing appreciation for its wide range of clinical actions, which can be summed up as follows: invigorates the blood, breaks up stasis, expels pathogenic wind, eliminates dampness, cools heat, and resolves toxicity. Most recently, its ability to transform phlegm and stop coughs has received significant attention.* (from Chinese Herbal Medicine Materica Medica, 3rd ed.)
These symptoms also include Amenorrhea and constipation due to the clumping of heat.
