What is houttuynia? What is it used for?
Houttuynia is a perennial plant native to east Asia. Considered a weed by some, it is nevertheless an essential component of many herbal remedies. The plant can reach a height of more than three feet, with small, white flowers. The entire plant is harvested between summer and autumn. After gathering, it is cleaned and dried in the sun, then used raw.
How much houttuynia should I take?
The typical dose of houttuynia ranges between 15 and 30 grams. It is usually decocted for drinking, but can also be applied externally to the skin. Because houttuynia contains a volatile oil, it cannot be decocted for long periods of time.

Whole, dried houttuynia can be found at many herbal shops and specialty stores. Chopped and powdered houttuynia is also available at some locations.
What can happen if I take too much houttuynia? Are there any interactions I should be aware of? What precautions should I take?
As of this writing, there are no known side-effects associated with houttuynia, nor are there no any known drug interactions. As always, make sure to consult with a licensed health care provider before taking houttuynia or any other herbal remedy or dietary supplement.
