Nutritional Information and Properties
Ophiopogon is an herbal plant, very similar to asparagus. It is considered extremely healthy for the heart and the lungs. Chinese herbalists believe that it can be used to relieve yin deficiencies and cool the body from within. The chemical compositions of the herb are useful for the treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia, somnambulism, and some other parasomnias. It also exhibits properties of deep penetration into the skin and is therefore used in topical ointments, balms, and moisturizers, which can help you moisturize dry and scaly skin. The herb may also be used for emotional and psychological disorders caused due to hormonal imbalances. Though widely used after being mixed with several different types of herbs, ophiopogon is hardly ever used on its own. Some of the herbs that ophiopogon is mixed with, include coptis, clehnia, asparagus root, fritillaria and rehmannia. While ophiopogon is a therapeutic herb with many benefits, it can cause side effects when consumed in large quantities. It is best to use it sparingly if you have a cold. Also try and avoid using this herb when you have a deficient or a malfunctioning spleen. Excessive consumption of the herb can also cause diarrhea.
