The chameleon plant, known in Chinese as Yu-xing-cao, in traditional medicine is used to treat lung abscess, edema, urinary infections, chronic bronchitis, hemorrhoids and rheumatism.
The Chinese healers believe that problems involving lungs are often interrelated with kidneys and that is why this remedy has included the Misai Kuching, Mau Sou Chou in Cantonese, an established medicinal herb in many cultures of Asia.
Studies show Misai Kuching has anti-allergic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. It is used as a remedy for arteriosclerosis (capillary and circulatory disorders), kidney stones, diabetes and nephritis.
The traditional believe is that the kidneys store the essence of life and is attributed for reproduction, growth and development, and in assisting other organs like the lungs. Thus any deficiency in the kidneys causes widespread implication on the whole body.
In recent years, Misai Kuching has been recommended for controlling cholesterol and blood pressure. It has been proven to remove uric acid through its diuretic activity, which is the main pathway for its therapeutic activity.
When added with the ginseng herb Radix Astralagus membranaceus, Lunmate serves as an effective remedy for symptoms related to the lungs, including bronchitis and cough due to the weakness of the lungs.
However, Lunmate is specially formulated to cleanse toxic residues in the lungs of hardcore smokers. After consuming continuously the remedy for 7-10 days, breathing will improve and throat irritation will be reduced. It also helps provide a better feel of the throat, taste sense and voice and improves appetite as well.
Smokers are recommended to continue the lung cleansing until the colour of stool returns to normal indicating the cleansing process is complete. However, if stopped halfway the stool colour also returns to normal as the cleansing process stops.
