In
Western herbalism, cuscuta was traditionally used to treat liver, spleen, and
gallbladder disorders such as jaundice ; and to support liver function. Other
traditional Western claims for cuscuta are that it is a mild diuretic, and that
it can be used to treat sciatica and scurvy. Extracts of the herb have a very
bitter taste. In traditional Chinese medicine, the seeds of cuscuta, called tu
si zi, have been used for thousands of years. According to traditional Chinese
healers, cuscuta seeds have a neutral nature and a pungent, sweet taste. They
are associated with the liver and kidneys and are used in formulas that help
both yin and yang deficiencies, depending on the patient's condition and the
other herbs in the formula. Cuscuta is also used in the Indian system of
Ayurvedic healing to treat jaundice, muscle pain, coughs, and problems with
urination.Cuscuta is one of nine herbs included in the manufacture of
Equiguard, a Chinese herbal medicine recommended for kidney and prostate
disorders.
