Lotus root is used to treat illnesses during hot weather.

Besides being used as food, lotus root is used as medicine to treat many diseases, especially those related to hot weather.

Lotus root juice or soup can treat several ailments such as fever, excessive thirst, vomiting blood, hematuria, nosebleeds, and subcutaneous bleeding. These conditions often occur on hot days due to abnormal body temperature regulation through the urinary tract. Lotus root has diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to clear the urinary tract.

Lotus root also has excellent hemostatic properties. When a patient shows signs of vomiting blood, passing blood in stool or urine, etc., crushed lotus root with a little sugar added should be taken orally to stop the bleeding.
