O. diffusa is an herb found in East Asia and Southern China. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of liver diseases, snake bites, and tumors. Laboratory studies suggest that this herb may inhibit the growth of cancer cells and stimulate the immune system to destroy or engulf tumor cells. Animal studies show that certain chemicals found in this herb may help lower cholesterol and have anti-inflammatory effects.

More research is necessary to confirm whether this herb can be used safely and effectively for any condition in humans.
