- digestive: it helps the digestion and more particularly reduces abdominal distension and intestinal bloating
- cerebral tonic: it is good against mental fatigue and it improves the memory
- abnormal sweats regulation: it helps to control menopausal sweats and other excessive sweats that are due to hormonal disorders
