It has a certain blood pressure lowering effect. Modern research has found that in addition to its medicinal uses, Dendrobium officinale can also regulate the body's immune function, improve fatigue, and lower blood pressure and blood sugar.

According to the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", Dendrobium officinale "benefits the stomach, promotes fluid production, nourishes yin and clears away heat. It is used for fever-related body fluid injuries, dry mouth and polydipsia, insufficient stomach yin, retching after eating less, and deficient heat after illness." If it does not subside, there will be yin deficiency and fire exuberance, bone steaming, tuberculosis and heat, blurred vision, and weak muscles and bones." So many functions boil down to two words: nourishing yin. Whether it is a fever, thirst, or dizziness, as long as there is a lack of yin and body fluids, Dendrobium officinale is suitable.
