Pseudostellaria root

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Pseudostellaria Root contains cyclic peptides, polysaccharides, saponins, and other constituents. Cell and animal studies have explored immune, metabolic, antioxidant, gastrointestinal, and tissue-support pathways, but evidence remains mainly preclinical.

Human clinical evidence for a standardized single material is limited. Dose, interactions, allergy, quality control, and long-term safety require further controlled research.

Traditional Function

In traditional Chinese medicine, Pseudostellaria Root is sweet and slightly warm. It is used to tonify Qi, strengthen the Spleen and Lung, nourish fluids, and support recovery from deficiency. Its use is interpreted according to Qi and fluid deficiency patterns.
