It primarily treats hematemesis stagnating in the chest and abdomen that does not resolve, as well as bone fractures, blood stasis masses, internal blockage from metal wounds (Jinchuang), postpartum cold invasion, and insufficient lactation.
Also known as KT Qi, or simply Qi. It grows in Hebei region and among grass accumulated with manure in households. It can be harvested at any time; however, those that walk backwards are considered more effective. (It acts under the guidance of Feimeng [Blind Fly], and is opposed to Fuzi [Prepared Aconite Root].)
Original text from *Shennong Bencao Jing*: Shiqiao tastes salty and is slightly warm. It treats evil blood and blood stasis; *Taiping Yulan* records it as treating blood bi, qi stagnation, fractures, hardness and fullness with pain under the ribs, amenorrhea, and leukoma (yin fu) in the eyes.
