[Ziwan (Asteris Radix)]
Bitter, pungent, warm, non-toxic. Mainly treats cough with qi rebellion, cold-heat knotted qi in the chest, removes gu poison, ataxia and厥逆 (cold extremities due to yang deficiency), and calms the five zang organs. Treats coughing up pus and blood, stops wheezing and palpitations, addresses the five excesses and physical deficiency, tonifies insufficiency, and treats pediatric convulsions and epilepsy. Also known as Zi Wan (note: original text "Zi " is likely a typo or variant for Ziwan), also named Qing Wan. Grows in the valleys of Fangling, as well as Zhending and Handan. Roots are harvested in February and March and dried in the shade. (Kuantong [Adenophorae Radix] serves as its assistant herb; it is incompatible with Tianxiong [Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata], Qumai [Dianthi Herba], Leiwan [Polyporus Umbellatus], and Yuanzhi [Polygalae Radix]; it fears Yinchenhao [Artemisiae Scopariae Herba].) It is found everywhere in nearby regions, growing flat on the ground, with purple flowers and white hairs on the stem; the roots are very soft and fine. The white variety is called Baiwan and is no longer used. (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 8, Zhenghe Bencao p. 209)
[Yingshi (Rosae Chinensis Fructus)]
Bitter, salty, cold, non-toxic. Mainly treats head wind, jaundice, cough with qi rebellion, strangury with dribbling, swelling and pain in the female vagina, damp-bi causing dead muscle tissue, inability to flex, extend, rise, fall, walk, or step. Treats restlessness of the four limbs, intense abdominal heat during epidemic diseases, thirst for drinking water, desire to run, loud shouting, pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, and residual pain after childbirth in women. Grows in the rivers and valleys of Shanggu and Wanqu. Roots are harvested in April and May and dried in the shade. (Incompatible with Sangpiaoxiao [Mantidis Oötheea], Jiegeng [Platycodonis Radix], Fuling [Poria], and Bixie [Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma].) Found everywhere in nearby regions, with those from Shu being superior. The world calls it Baiyangxian, as its odor truly resembles mutton fat; alternatively named Baishan. (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 8, Zhenghe Bencao p. 210)
[Unnamed/To Be Verified]
Bitter, neutral, non-toxic. Mainly treats bites from snakes, vipers, bees, scorpions, mad dogs, and poisoning from vegetables, meat, and gu poison, ghostly transmission diseases, wind transmission diseases, and all major poisons that cannot be ingested; it eliminates them all. It also removes blood stasis; when powdered and applied to painful areas, it dissipates immediately. If poison enters the abdomen, boiling and drinking it resolves the toxicity. Also named Baige. Grows in the valleys of Jiaozhou.
This herb's ability to treat poison is unmatched. Yet people no longer use it, which is inexplicable; no one seems to recognize it. I suspect it is similar to Gegen [Puerariae Lobatae Radix], but requires further extensive investigation.
[Qiangwei (Rosae Chinensis Flower/Bud)]
Sour, warm, slightly cold, non-toxic. Mainly treats carbuncles and sores, malignant ulcers, nodulated flesh, tendon injuries, decaying sores, hot qi, chronic genital erosion, and unblocks joints. Long-term consumption lightens the body and benefits qi. Root: stops dysentery and abdominal pain, clears guest heat in the five zang organs, eliminates rebellious evil qi, treats carbuncle leprosy, various malignant ulcers, metal wounds and beatings, promotes flesh regeneration. Also named Qiangwei, also named Qiangma, Niují, Niule, Qiangmi, Shanji. Grows in the valleys of Lingling and Shu commandery. Harvested in August and September, dried in the shade.
Yingshi is the fruit of Qiangwei, with white-flowered varieties being superior. The root can also be boiled to make wine; stems and leaves can also be boiled for tea. (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 7,
