liangcha is documented as part of Lingnansupported
Scope: a 2010–2012 study of 300 people across 12 sociolinguistic groups
Note: A reported traditional-medicine use is a separate matter from clinical efficacy.
All informants were recorded as gathering and cultivating the plants with cultural and economic value, and the consumption of liangcha was recorded as part of Lingnan's regional culture and way of life.
Limitations: The reported medicinal uses are traditional-medicine knowledge, not evidence from controlled trials.
