Cassia Seed disperses wind-fire to cool the eyes, moistens the Intestines, nourishes the Liver and Kidney yin - Bensky

Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

• Clears the Liver and the eyes: for red, swollen, and painful eyes from heat or wind-heat in the Liver channel. Also for eye problems such as photosensitivity, night blindness, and insidious loss of vision without visible physical changes to the eye.*
• Calms the Liver and anchors the errant yang: for headaches and dizziness from ascendant Liver yang. Recently this function has been expanded to include hypertension.*
• Moistens the Intestines and unblocks the bowels: for dry or infrequent stools or chronic constipation, especially when there is an aspect of Liver yin deficiency.*
• Recently used to prevent atherosclerosis as it lowers both blood pressure and serum cholesterol.*
