Expanding on that good advice:

And tell them or your doctor if they ask about any #AlternativeMedicine, #FolkMedicine, #TraditionalMedicine, #CulturalMedicine, #Supplements, #Homeopathy and/or #Herbs that you're taking.

(And ignore any person who tries to interfere with clear patient-doctor communication.)

#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.
