摘要:

Houttuynia cordata is an important traditional Chinese medicine. It is widely used for clearing heat and detoxification, reducing  swelling and treating sores, diuresis and dehumidification. It is also used to treat lung carbuncles, ulcers, hemorrhoids,  rectal bleeding, spleen and stomach heat, which are caused by excess heat, heat toxicity, dampness, and disease heat. Modern  pharmacological experiments have shown that H. cordata has antibacterial, antiviral, immune enhancing, diuretic and other  effects. This article reviews the chemical components and biological activities of H. cordata to provide reference for clinical  application.
