Shi Hu Dendrobium Nobile Lindl #3630
Dendrobium is a member of the orchid (Orchidaceae) family and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries to treat thirst, fever, diabetes, infection, inflammation, cancer, protect eyesight, and improve appetite and digestion. (opss.org)
It benefits the stomach and promotes fluid, nourishes yin, and clears away heat. It is used for fever, yin injury and loss of body fluid, dry mouth and polydipsia, loss of appetite and retching; deficiency and heat after illness, and dark eyes [dim vision].
Dosage Oral administration: decoction 6~15g, then drink; or pill, powder; or boil ointment. Fresh Dendrobium has a strong ability to clear heat and generate fluid, so it is suitable for those who suffer from heat and body injury. Dried Dendrobium is suitable for those with stomach deficiency and heat injury.
Cautions: Those with yin not injured in the early stage of febrile fever, those with damp-febrile disease not getting dry, [watery phlegm, nausea], and those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold [for example watery diarrhea] should avoid using it.
