Patient's question:
Hello, is Houttuynia cordata effective for gynecological inflammation? Does Houttuynia cordata have the effects of bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, and can it be eaten frequently?Doctor's answer:
Houttuynia cordata has antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. In clinical diagnosis, it can be used to treat acute upper respiratory tract infections and other viral diseases. However, its anti-inflammatory effect is somewhat limited. Mild inflammation can be treated with Houttuynia cordata, but for severe gynecological diseases, such as bacterial vaginosis or fungal vaginosis, using Houttuynia cordata alone is ineffective. It is necessary to combine it with conventional Western medicine for treatment.
