The Chinese name of this herb literally means "Bitter Grass" and it is so bitter that it goes right through your heart.
It's a common plant in Singapore and many grow it as a potted plant. The leaves are extremely bitter and if you chew on a leaf the bitterness stays in your mouth for a long long time ( 1 hour?). The entire plant can be uprooted, washed then dried in the sun for a few days until it becomes almost brittle. After which it can be ground to a powder (together with the roots) to be used when you need to cure your sore throat.
