　　Medicinal value:

　　Vaccaria seeds (also known as forbidden palace flower, grinding cage herb, or wheat-blue vegetable) have a slightly bitter taste and neutral nature, often used to activate blood circulation, regulate menstruation, promote lactation, reduce swelling and eliminate abscesses, promote urination, and stop bleeding; mulberries are sweet and cold in nature, and can nourish liver and kidney, calm wind, and enrich yin.

　　When these two herbs are stewed together with salty and warm sea shrimp, they are highly effective for irregular menstruation, insufficient postpartum lactation, boils and abscesses, stomach weakness with poor appetite, and deficiency of liver and kidney yin. They are especially suitable for those suffering from dim vision and tinnitus.
