luo han guo decoction

Luo Han Guo decoction is a traditional Chinese herbal preparation made by boiling the dried fruit of *Siraitia grosvenorii* (monk fruit) in water. It is primarily recognized for its high concentration of mogrosides, particularly mogroside V, which serve as natural non-caloric sweeteners and possess significant anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and expectorant properties. In clinical research, specifically studies conducted by Guigang City People's Hospital, the decoction is administered orally to mitigate postoperative throat complications such as sore throat, hoarseness, and cough following tracheal intubation during surgery. The mechanism of action involves the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators and the soothing of irritated respiratory tissues.
