1 Protecting liver: LiverDamage after carbontetrachloride poisoning was reduced by treating with Sedumsarmentosum Bunge [1].

2 Bacteriostasis: Sedum sarmentosum Bunge possesseshepatoprotective effect, estrogenic effect, immune suppression and angio-tensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, as well as bacteriostasis [2].

3 Anti-inflammatory effect: Sedum sarmentosum Bunge can relieve the symptoms of experimental colitisthrough TGF-β1,IL-2 and IL-10 [3].

4 Antihypertensive effects: ACE-inhibiting properties andmay thus be used as antihypertensive components [2].

5 Immunityinhibition:The aqueous extracts from Sedum sarmentosum Bunge improve the immunologicalfunctions [4-6].

6 Estrogenic effects: Sedum sarmentosum Bunge canincrease the estrogenic effect [7].

1. Pressure sore: Fresh herbs were mash up with 75% alcohol and apply on the sore. 36 cases of elderly patients were treated and the overall cure rate was100% ^[2].
