In the "Collected Explanations" section on Xinyi (Magnolia Flower) of Li Shizhen's *Bencao Gangmu* (*Compendium of Materia Medica*), it is only stated that there are white flowers, which people call Yulan (Magnolia denudata), without establishing separate therapeutic indications. Even for Xinyi, the flower buds and stamens are used, which are inferior to the efficacy of the open flowers. This entry supplements information based on *Longbai Yaoxing Kao* (*Study on Drug Properties of Longbai*).
The nature is warm, with a fragrant and smooth quality; it dissipates phlegm, benefits the Lung Qi, harmonizes the vital energy, and is particularly effective when steeped in honey.
For dysmenorrhea and infertility: *Liangfang Jiyao* (*Collection of Excellent Prescriptions*) records: When the Yulan flower is about to bloom but not yet fully open, take one flower annually. Every morning on an empty stomach, decoct it in water and drink.
The shape is unknown (*Yaoxing Kao*).
The taste is pungent and slightly warm. After being stored in a cellar and exposed to dew, it clears and benefits the head and eyes.
Roots
This herb sprouts in the second and third lunar months. The stems thicken at the nodes, resembling bone joints. The leaves are long, pointed, smooth, green, acute at the apex and broader at the base. It blooms after Minor Heat (Xiaoshu), producing flowers in purple, white, or yellow colors; some plants bear flowers of five colors. The flowers open in the morning and close in the evening. The fruit has an outer bract containing clusters of green seeds, pea-sized, which turn black with age and contain white powder. If the perennial root is not harvested for three years, it grows as large as Arctii Fructus (Niu Bang Zi, Burdock Fruit), tastes slightly sweet, and resembles Dioscoreae Rhizoma (Shan Yao, Yam). Chen Fuyao's *Huajing* (*Flower Mirror*) states: Mirabilis jalapa, also known as Zhuangyuan Hong (Scholar Red), is not very tall but spreads easily with sprawling vines; its leaves resemble those of Brassica rapa var. trilocularis (Man Jing, Turnip). Note: Mirabilis jalapa blooms from early summer until late autumn. White flowers have a particularly intense fragrance. Their flowers close upon exposure to sunlight and reopen after sunset, but they do not last long, wilting within a day. Westerners consume them by removing the outer skin, pickling them in salt as a condiment, claiming they dispel wind and invigorate blood, treating conditions such as turbid strangury. However, its nature is purely Yin, soft yet penetrating; long-term consumption may lead to bone softness, and it is contraindicated for those with Yang deficiency. It abhors iron; iron vessels must be avoided in its preparation and use.
The root treats breast abscesses (Ru Yong) and leukorrhea. The flowers can be macerated in wine. The seed is called Tushannai (Earth Sand Ginger); its powder can remove moles and acne from the face. Its nature is cold (*Yaoxing Kao*).
*Bai Cao Jing* (*Mirror of Hundred Herbs*) notes: Wild-grown plants are no different from cultivated ones, except they are smaller in size. The flowers are all pink, single-petaled, without double petals. In spring, mountain dwellers harvest the flowers and sell them to powder shops. They are steamed into powder for sale as women's facial cosmetics, claimed to repel sweat odor and remove dark spots.
*Huajing* (*Flower Mirror*) states: Rosa multiflora, also known as Xueke (Snow Guest), has fine leaves and small flowers. The plant is thorny and climbs along fences. Flowers are either pure red or pink, single-petaled, and not particularly ornamental, but their fragrance is sweet, similar to roses. People often distill them into hydrosols or brew tea with unopened buds. Decocting and drinking it cures malaria. *Liuyan Zhai Biji* (*Notes from the Six Research Studio*) mentions Tong Yuanzi's method of ingesting herbs: In spring, ingest tender Rosa multiflora shoots. One month of intake suffices; start with 3 li daily, gradually increasing to 1 fen. After this regimen, one can enter water without illness, sitting or lying down safely. Continuing for a year allows coating the body with wax. Carrying sharp blades, one can swim in rivers and lakes, rob the pearl of the sleeping dragon, and fly freely through the air, unharmed by rocks, roaming the Three Realms and Eight Directions. This is the path of flying immortals, beginning with chewing Rosa multiflora shoots. Discussing this with guests invariably elicits laughter.
The flowers treat malaria.
*Wu Hanfen Dushu Zhi* (*Reading Notes from Wu Hanfen*) states: Decocting white wild Rosa multiflora flowers with tea and drinking them can drive away the malaria demon. It treats hemoptysis due to liver qi stagnation in women. Liu Kezhong states: The fragrance is intense and greatly depletes true Qi; it is contraindicated for deficient individuals.
The root treats lung abscesses (Fei Yong) and expectoration of purulent sputum; decoct in wine and drink. For mouth ulcers, rinse with the decoction.
The seed is called Shihushanhu (Stone Coral); it treats postpartum flaccidity.
For female alopecia, brush the scalp with juice decocted from tender Rosa multiflora branches and Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma (Hou Jiang, Galangal).
