Grapes are sweet, sour and flat, and enter the lung, spleen and kidney meridians, which can replenish qi and blood, strengthen bones and muscles, dredge meridians, relieve stranguria, reduce swelling, facilitate urination, nourish kidney and benefit liver. Grape roots and leaves are also Chinese herbal medicines. Grapes are prone to diarrhea and should not be overeating. Medically, it has the functions of tonifying kidney, strengthening waist, nourishing blood, lowering blood pressure and stimulating appetite, especially in the prevention and treatment of neurasthenia, stomachache, abdominal distension and cardiovascular diseases. Herbs in southern Yunnan say "tonify qi and blood, relax tendons and activate collaterals". "The Picture of Materia Medica in Southern Yunnan" says that treating acne is toxic, and the fetal qi is rushing up, and the decoction is drunk immediately. Herbal rejuvenation says warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen. "Living Diet Spectrum" holds that it "benefits qi and nourishes kidney, liver and yin, strengthens bones and muscles, quenches thirst and prevents miscarriage".
