Originally from Europe, Lysimachia owes its name to the Sicilian king Lysimachus who would have been the first to discover its benefits. Integrated into the Chinese pharmacopoeia for several centuries, Lysimachia (Jin qian cao in Chinese) is recommended for people who experience digestive disorders.

In Chinese medicine, Jin qian cao is used to soothe the Liver : it eliminates toxins present in the liver in order to stimulate its functioning. In addition, it helps to thin the bile so as to improve digestion.
