Pinellia is often used in formulas to help ease morning sickness during pregnancy, as well as vomiting and nausea. While the raw roots or tubers are toxic, properly prepared, it is widely used to dry phlegm and treat flu symptoms caused by excess phlegm. It is used externally to treat ulcers, abscesses and warts.
