Archeological sites from different areas confirm that purslane was commonly used - not an incidental plant, as fossilized remains were found in garbage sites.

#Purslane is an #annual #succulent used in #traditional #Chinese #medicine (TCM) for centuries - it's known as “vegetable for long life.” In #TCM - it's used to cool the blood, stop bleeding, clear heat & neutralize toxins. Dried parts are used for treatment of fever, dysentery, diarrhea, carbuncles, eczema & hematochezia.
Whole #plant is #edible & has soury flavour.
