It primarily treats widespread sores on the body of infants; boil it together with peach leaves for bathing. When combined with various precious fragrances, it is extremely wonderful, surpassing even those imported from overseas.

According to the *Guang Zhi*: It grows in Yuan Prefecture. The seedlings are slender and grow by climbing vines. Additionally, Chen Shi records: It treats black skin wind (Hei Pi Feng), wind-related malnutrition (Feng Gan), loose teeth, and "wild chicken hemorrhoids" (Ye Ji Zhi). It works well when combined with Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata); it is also excellent for making various incenses and scented garments. (From *Da Guan Ben Cao*, Vol. 9, p. 52; *Zheng He Zheng Lei Ben Cao*, p. 236)
Its taste is neutral, and it does not treat diseases. Burning it dispels evil spirits/qi. When combined with Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) to make pills or powders, burning them at night repels mosquitoes and midges. There are no other uses besides this. (From *Da Guan Ben Cao*, Vol. 9, p. 28; *Zheng He Zheng Lei Ben Cao*, p. 240; *Ben Cao Gang Mu*, p. 828)
It grows in the Western Regions. It varies in thickness, has internal fibers, and some resemble pen tubes with joint-like textures.

It treats wind pathogens, tonifies and warms the waist and feet, clears and calms the five zang organs, strengthens sinews and bones, and aids digestion.

The leaves resemble cogon grass, hence the name Xian Mao (Curculiginis Rhizoma). Its taste is pungent, its nature is neutral; its action is first dispersing then tonifying. It has no major toxicity, but possesses slight heat and slight toxicity. It treats the seven injuries in men, clarifies the eyes and ears, benefits sinew strength, fills the marrow, and boosts yang without fatigue.
