Some introductions about Houttuynia cordata from Wikipedia:

Houttuynia cordata (simplified Chinese: 鱼腥草; traditional Chinese: 魚腥草; pinyin: yúxīng cǎo; literally: “fishy-smell herb”; Japanese: dokudami 蕺草, literally “poison blocking plant”; Vietnamese: giấp cá; Lao: pak kao tong ຜັກຄາວທອງ; Thai: phakkaawtong ผักคาวตอง, ผักคาวทอง, พลูคาว; Korean: 약모밀, 어성초). In Manipur, it is known as toningkok, in Tangkhul as Ngayungna in Hmar as Aithang, in Meghalaya it is known as Jamyrdoh, in Chakma as Mosondori, in Mizo as Uithinthang, and in thadou as “Aithanglou”, Hrama in Poula. In Rongmei, it is called as “Gancmaluh”. In English, it is known as fish mint, fish leaf, lizard tail, chameleon plant, heartleaf, fishwort, and bishop’s weed. It is one of two species in the genus Houttuynia (the other being H. emeiensis), a flowering plant native to Japan, Korea, southern China, and Southeast Asia, where it grows in moist, shady places.

Culinary use
It is grown as a leaf vegetable, particularly in Vietnam, where it is called giấp cá or diếp cá, and is used as a fresh herbal garnish. The leaf has an unusual taste that is often described as ‘fishy’ (earning it the nickname “fish mint”), so it is not enjoyed as universally as basil, mint, or other more commonly used herbs.

In northeastern India, particularly Meghalaya, it is locally known as ja myrdoh and used in salads or cooked with other vegetables. In Manipur, it is known as toningkok and used as garnish over eromba and singju, ethnic side dishes. In Garo, it is known as matcha duri, the leaves used raw as salad leaf, or ground (usually the tender roots) with dry fish, chillies and tamarind into chutneys. In Assam (Assamese) it is called “Masunduri” and popular mostly among the tribes. It is taken raw as salad and cooked along with fish as fish curry.

In the southwestern Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, and Sichuan, the roots are used as a root vegetable and are known as Zhe’ergen (折耳根). The leaves are also consumed.

In Japan, the beverage dokudami cha (Japanese: ドクダミ茶; literally “Houttuynia cordata tea”) is made from the dried leaves.

Traditional use
Houttuynia cordata is used in traditional Chinese medicine for pneumonia and was used by some Chinese scientists in an attempt to treat SARS. Its use in traditional Chinese medicine (in injection form) can cause severe allergic reactions.
