Daqianma (Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., also known as Gengma), alternatively named Gengma. Taste: bitter, slightly pungent. Nature: slightly cold. Action: dispels wind-induced itching of the skin. It induces vomiting to expel phlegm, eliminates phlegm, directs rebellious Qi downward, stops cough caused by Wind injuring Lung Qi, and dissipates Phlegm in the Stomach. It disperses toxin from sores and ulcers. All these effects are achieved by decocting with water or taking the juice. When treatment for Deficiency Consumption (Xu Lao) fails, someone recommended this formula, yielding miraculous results. This is because Wind injures Lung Qi, and Phlegm-Fire causes stagnation; using this herb to dispel Wind and scatter Phlegm thus proves effective. Therefore, in Yunnan, the tender tips of Daqianma are frequently used to treat infantile cough due to Wind exposure, with excellent efficacy.
