Ciliary poppy, nicknamed Chinese Oregano, is a plant whose leaves (Xiang ru) are widely used in Asia to give taste to dishes.
In TCM, Xiang ru drains moisture in order to evacuate mucus, in other words, waste from the body.This type of plant always has a diuretic action : Xiang ru detoxifies the body by encouraging urination and helps to reduce swelling and edema by draining excess water.
