Its leaves treat wind itching. *Yaoxing Lun* states: As a sovereign drug. Sweet in flavor, slightly toxic. It treats various sores and ulcers caused by wind pathogens, breaks up old blood stasis, treats expectoration of pus, addresses difficult labor, and removes restlessness and heat.

It tonifies essence and qi, treats swellings and toxins, coldness of the water organ (kidney), frequent urination, stops dribbling urine, prevents seminal emission, and stops hematuria. When used in medicine, whether for pills or powders, it must be stir-fried to remove spines. Aconite (Wutou) serves as its guiding herb.

It primarily treats carbuncles and sores, chronic ulcerative wounds, expels pus and relieves pain, addresses severe leprosy-like diseases (such as leprosy), five types of hemorrhoids, and shu lou (scrofula/lymphatic tuberculosis).

Furthermore, Chishui Huang (Astragalus from Chishui) is cool and non-toxic. It treats blood disorders and clears heat toxins; its other functions are the same as above. Mu Huang (another type of Astragalus) is cool and non-toxic. It treats vexation and expels pus, but its efficacy is weaker than that of Huang (Astragalus); if scarce, double the dosage.
