(2) Antiviral purpose: It inhibits viruses causing influenza.
Lotus Fruit
Traditional Uses
Dispels toxic heat in the heart, benefits kidneys, strengthens spleen, controls diarrhea, astringes, for Spleen deficiency, diarrhea, excessive dreaming, involuntary emission, functional bleeding, leukorrhea
Scientific Research
(1) Purpose on smooth muscle: The alkaloids of the herb relax smooth muscle, methylcorypalline dilates coronary arteries, and demethylcoclaurine relaxes smooth uterine muscle.
