Pharmacological use:
1. Increase the immunity function.
2. It has an exciting effect on the epithelial system of the hanging kidney.
3. Can be excited and fascinated by the central axis of the Divine Sutra, and have a strong heart for use.
4. Uterine has analgesic effect on mice.
5. Both Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and Subpolygonum multiflorum Thunb are used for local anesthesia.
