Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.

Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Cornus Officinalis" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.

A Network Pharmacology published in 2021 in the journal Plants found that A combination of extracts from chrysanthemum were found to be more effective in treating hyperuricemia and potentially developing anti-hyperuricemic functional foods. The methodology used in this study involved treating human liver cancer cells, mouse renal proximal tubule cells and hyperuricemic mice with uric acid extracted from two different plants, specifically L. (Ci) and Siebold and Zucc. (Co). It was found that the extracts from these two plants, both individually and in combination, suppressed the activity of certain enzymes involved in uric acid metabolism and influenced the expression of corresponding proteins. In discussing the results, the study identified that the combined effect of these two extracts was significantly stronger in suppressing uric acid accumulation compared to using each extract on its own. This was evidenced by an increased excretion of waste products associated with uric acid metabolism when using the combination of Ci and Co. There was also a decrease in the expression of certain proteins that facilitate uric acid accumulation. Therefore, the data suggests that a mixture of Ci and Co extracts could be effective in developing functional foods to combat hyperuricemia.
