Yep, one of the most important herbs in the TCM Materia Medica.
It has a number of important uses in TCM as well as the ones you've mentioned. Its also part of the reason it plays such a large part in Chinese diet and recipes, as the idea was that eating it regularly and cooking with it would prevent these illnesses from happening.
You are very on point boss. Such an important herb to benefit us. I just hope we all see the importance and consume more of it.
