What kind of plant is Baxiancao?

Baxiancao is actually a kind of swine fever, and the allusion of this name is related to Baxian. Long ago, the Eight Immortals came to earth to do good deeds. Cao Guojiu found that a family in Dongshangou was in trouble. A mother and son live in the mountains. My son has been tortured by boils for a long time, and his mother can't help it. After Cao Guojiu knew the situation, he went to the hospital with the immortal.

Cao Guojiu picked a herb and fried it with the help of the immortals. The son of this family recovered in a few days. Mother and son were very grateful, so they named this medicine "Eight Immortals Grass". In addition to "pig's sorrow", it also has various nicknames such as "small saw vine" and "saw grass".

_ Basic information of Baxiancao

Hydrangea originated from Labrador macrophylla or Labrador macrophylla of Rubiaceae. Labradors with large leaves are millet, vine-like, and some are climbing, with green square stems, many branches, linear lanceolate leaves and hexagonal stems.

Labrador's toothed leaves tend to be oval and lanceolate, and its whole grass can be used as medicine after harvesting and drying in autumn.

In rural areas, hydrangea is the feed of livestock and is regarded as a harmful weed. Low environmental requirements, common in wilderness, fields and grasslands. Around Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Eight Immortals grew into pieces and were harvested by villagers and fed to pigs, so they were called "swine fever".

_ Medicinal value of hydrangea

Hydrangea has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and stranguria, and relieving swelling and pain. It integrates the functions of various medicinal materials, including clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, and is clinically used to treat sores, mastitis, knife wound bleeding, hematuria, urinary tract infection, etc. This is recorded in southern Yunnan materia medica.

Then, back to the story, it makes sense here. My son has a sore on his skin because of high temperature and poisoning. Hydrangea's "heat-clearing and detoxification" function has played a role here. Of course, there must be more than this medicine when it is used, but its function is indispensable.

Let's talk about the "pain of jade stalks" mentioned at the beginning. This is a male problem. If it's caused by a hot shower, use hydrangea. Urodynia is one of the manifestations of gonorrhea, which is relieved by the diuretic effect of hydrangea. Herbal Medicine in Southern Yunnan has the theory of "treating five stranguria", and the treatment of pain with jade stems also comes from this book.

Do you know the true face of this plant called "Eight Immortals Grass" in rural areas? As for whether the value is high or not, you may already have the answer in your heart. If you need medication, please follow the doctor's advice.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of what kind of plant hydrangea is.
