Is orchid a traditional Chinese medicine? What are its functions?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have a neighbor who has been married for eight years without having a child. There is a folk remedy in our area that suggests brewing orchid flowers in water to drink, and she became pregnant after not too long. Now my family is also asking me to drink this, and to satisfy the elders' wishes, I have agreed. But I don't dare to drink it casually. I would like to ask the doctor, is there such a herb that can treat infertility? And are there any side effects to drinking it? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Its main effects are whooping cough, tuberculosis, neurasthenia, dizziness and lower back pain, urinary tract infections, leukorrhea, etc!
