In addition, Alisma orientalis has the effects of inhibiting the formation of kidney stones, reducing blood sugar and lipids, anti atherosclerosis, anti fatty liver, anti nephritis, immune regulation, and other functions.

It grows in shallow water zones of lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds, and also grows in swamps, ditches, and low-lying wetlands.
