Dwarf Lily-turf

Ophiopogon japonicus

Ophiopogon japonicus, commonly known as麦冬 (mài dōng) in Traditional Chinese Medicine, has a long-standing tradition within East Asian herbal practices. Traditionally, it is used for treating dryness and heat symptoms, including coughs, sore throats, and constipation, reflecting its role in nourishing yin and clearing heat. Scientific evidence regarding Ophiopogon japonicus is limited but promising. Studies have shown that the plant extract, particularly ophiopogin D, may exhibit anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) effects by targeting specific molecular pathways. Additionally, various metabolites identified from different species of Ophiopogon show potential in improving heart failure outcomes; however, more research is needed to confirm these findings and identify the most effective extracts. Safety-wise, no major issues have been recorded for Ophiopogon japonicus. There are currently no reports of significant adverse effects or drug interactions associated with its use.
