I generated an image to represent persicae semen. If you can remember the image then you can remember the functions of the herb.
Notice she is in a red room which represents blood. If you can remember the room and the color then you already know the herb category, which is also the primary function; it moves the blood.
Of course this herb supports the heart. The taste represents an effect it has on the body. In this case, it is NEUTRAL. This usually means that it is safe for long term use.
Notice the clot. This is part of the clinical picture and related pathologies, such as stroke.
A clot can cause an ischemic stroke (blockage). This herb could be part of a preventative strategy.
A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a ruptured vessel, in which case blood movers would be contraindicated (should not be taken).
Because this herb moves the blood, it has been very useful in treating patients with post COVID circulation issues. Spike comes from COVID and damages the blood and impairs blood flow.
The systemic blood stasis turns the tongue body purple.
It also helps the lungs.
This herb is a star player for painful menstruation, which is typically from poor blood flow in the uterus.
In fact, this herbs moves blood in the entire lower compartment.
The SWEET tastes refers to lubricating the intestines (most seeds have that quality).
It can be combined with antimicrobial herbs to treat infections and abscesses.
The story of the image continues to describe more functions. This herb is great for physical traumas.
Headaches too.
The BITTER flavor has a detoxification effect.
When not to take it.
