According to reports from all over the world, the curative effect is different. Most of them observed that Lobelia chinensis had diuretic effect, sometimes purgative effect, but the diuretic volume was very different, and a small number of cases had no increase in urine volume. Diuretic effect of the emergence of different speed, most in 1-5 days, to promote the elimination of ascites or reduce, can play a role. At the same time of eliminating or reducing ascites, it can also improve physical signs, increase appetite, improve nutrition, or improve hemogram, improve liver function, and create conditions for antimony treatment. However, there are many factors affecting the curative effect of Lobelia chinensis. The main factors are: 1) confusion of plant varieties and different collection time; 2) improper preservation or transportation of plants, resulting in mildew; 3) improper processing of drugs, resulting in damage of active ingredients by high temperature; 4) different body conditions; and so on.
