Wu Zhu Yu (Euodia Ruticarpa) has a marked warming effect on the body, helping to relieve headaches and a wide range of digestive problems[254]. Euodia fruit is analgesic, anthelmintic, appetizer, astringent, carminative, decongestant, deobstruent, diuretic, stimulant, stomachic and uterotonic[174, 176, 178, 218, 240].*
Euodia Ruticarpa is used in the treatment of gastritis, nausea, headaches, edema, beriberi and post-partum pains[147]. The partially ripe Euodia fruit is gathered in late summer and can be dried for later use[254]. The Wu Zhu Yu root bark is astringent and vermifuge[218]. Extracts of the Euodia plant show antiviral, antitumor and anti-inflammatory activity[218]. This species was ranked 14th in a Chinese survey of 250 potential antifertility plants[218].*
