Houttuynia cordata is also named crushed ears by the people. It is distributed in the south of Qinling mountains and Huaihe River in China, and is mostly born in mountains and valleys. Houttuynia cordata has special odor. Its leaves and roots can be used as wild vegetables, as well as medicine. It has the effect of clearing heat, dispelling heat and detoxifying.

Houttuynia cordata also grows in Henan, but no one eats it at all. The Houttuynia cordata was no longer popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang since it was gradually "civilized". As for the northerners who had never seen houttuynia, for the first time they ate the herb, and were often three days sick.

Eating Houttuynia was a matter of eating habits. Southerners ate houttuynia for a long time, not as a fishy smell, but as a delicacy. Besides being a wild vegetable, the leaves of Houttuynia could also be used to wrap up raw fish and slow down the deterioration of fish. In addition, houttuynia could also be used to fry pungent soups to relieve the heat. From smell to curative effect, houttuynia could be used in a similar way to today's huoxiang Zhengqi water.

Houttuynia cordata is now a useful ingredient of herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill produced by Dr. Lee Xiaoping in Wuhan. It is a pure Chinese medicine and can be used to treat many urogenital system diseases, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, orchitis, etc.
