传统用途
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 积雪草 (Jī Xuě Cǎo) has been used for centuries. It is traditionally used to calm the spirit (shen) and settle the heart-mind. It nourishes yin and blood to promote a healthy, radiant complexion in TCM beauty formulations. It opens the orifices and sharpens the intellect — used traditionally for forgetfulness and mental fog.
