[Willow Leaf]
The flavor is bitter and cold, non-toxic. It primarily treats malignant scabies, crusted sores, and "horse scabies" (sores caused by heat from saddle friction). Washing with the decocted juice brings about immediate cure. It also treats blood stasis in the heart and abdomen, alleviating pain.
[Willow Branch]
The flavor is bitter and cold, non-toxic. It primarily treats damp-heat strangury (dysuria) due to phlegm-heat; it can be used as a bathing decoction to wash away wind-induced edema and itching. Rinsing the mouth with wine boiled with willow branches treats toothache. Recently, people use willow branches placed under eaves (exposed to wind and sun), decocted in water and drunk internally, to treat turbid and painful strangury, promoting the free flow of the water passages.
[Douglasia Fructus / Yu Li Ren]
The flavor is sour and neutral, non-toxic. It primarily treats abdominal edema, edema of the face, eyes, and limbs, and promotes urination through the water passages.
[Crotonis Fructus / Ba Dou]
The flavor is acrid and warm, toxic. It primarily treats chills and fever associated with Cold Damage (Shanghan) and warm malaria. It breaks up mass accumulations (Zheng Jia), hard accumulations of retained fluids, phlegm-fluid retention, and large abdominal distension/edema. It purges the five zang and six fu organs, opens blockages, facilitates the passage of food and water, removes foul flesh, expels evil pathogens such as ghost toxins, gu poison, and zhuzhu diseases, and kills parasites.
