Treat inflammation with pennywort

In addition to being used as a vegetable, I heard that Vietnamese coriander can also treat many diseases. Please tell me about the medicinal effects of Vietnamese coriander.

Enhudra fluctuans Lour (Hingtsha repens Roxb. Tetractis paludosa Blume), also known as fragrant coriander, buffalo coriander, water chrysanthemum, scientific name Enhudra fluctuans Lour (Hingtsha repens Roxb. Tetractis paludosa Blume), belongs to the daisy family.

The plant is floating or submerged, several meters long, with a 3-lobed corolla and bisexual flowers. It grows commonly in ponds and lakes throughout the provinces of our country. People often pick young leaves, use them fresh or dry them as medicine.

Vietnamese coriander is used to treat indigestion, bloating, hemoptysis, and uterine bleeding. For external use, crush and apply to inflamed areas. Use 12 to 20 grams per day in decoction form. For external use, there is no dosage.
