(1) It tonifies Qi and clears heat. Its seeds improve vision. Collect it after the frost in September. [Jia Ming]
(2) Leaves: Consumption may also stir up Qi, causing irritability and stuffiness; its cold nature damages the middle Jiao and harms the abdomen. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(3) Do not consume together with turtle meat, as this may generate "turtle syndrome" (a pathological condition resembling a turtle). Furthermore, take turtle shell pieces the size of bean flakes, wrap them in Amaranth leaves, place them in a pit in the earth, cover with soil, and after one night, they will all transform into young turtles. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(4) Additionally, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, collect Amaranth and Portulaca oleracea, grind them into powder, and mix them in equal proportions. Administer to pregnant women to facilitate easy delivery. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(1) It benefits the five Zang organs and supplements the sinews and vessels. It primarily addresses excessive digestion and appetite. However, if consumed in excess, it causes forgetfulness. [Chen Cangqi citing evidence]
(2) Moreover, if one has eaten toxic meat resulting in incessant vomiting and bloody diarrhea, with the body turning yellowish-brown: Take one sheng of clean Coriandrum sativum seeds, boil until they burst, extract the juice, let it cool, and drink half a sheng. Taking it twice within a day and night will stop the bleeding. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(3) Furthermore, individuals with bromhidrosis (fox odor) or dental diseases should not consume it, as it exacerbates the illness. Those with chronic cold conditions who eat it may experience weakness in the legs. Individuals suffering from Qi disorders should absolutely avoid eating it. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(4) Also, do not consume together with Artemisia verlotiorum (Xie Hao). Eating them together causes sweaty body odor that is difficult to cure. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(5) It should not be eaten for long periods, as it is a pungent/aromatic vegetable that damages the spirit. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(6) In autumn and winter, crush the seeds, boil with vinegar, and apply hot compresses to treat rectal prolapse; this is very effective. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(7) It can be eaten raw with other vegetables to treat intestinal wind (hematochezia). Wrapping it in hot flatbread for consumption is also excellent. [Jia Ming citing evidence]
(8) It benefits deficiencies of the five Zang organs, but should not be eaten in large quantities, as it damages the spirit. [Chen Cangqi]
(Coriander / Hu Sui)
(9) Flavor is acrid and warm, some say slightly cold, slightly toxic. It promotes digestion, regulates the five Zang organs, and supplements deficiencies. It benefits the Large and Small Intestines, unblocks Qi stagnation in the lower abdomen, draws out heat from the four limbs, stops headaches, treats sand rash (measles-like diseases), and helps erupt pea sores (smallpox/chickenpox-like diseases); when made into wine, eruption occurs immediately. It opens the heart orifices, but long-term consumption causes forgetfulness. It induces axillary odor and tinea pedis (Hong Kong foot). [Jia Ming supplement]
(10) Roots: Can trigger chronic stubborn diseases. [Jia Ming supplement]
(11) Seeds: Primarily treat pediatric alopecia areata (bald patches); fry in oil and apply externally. They also treat gu toxicity, five types of hemorrhoids, and bloody stool caused by meat poisoning: boil, let cool, and drink the juice. People in Bingzhou call it "Xiang Sui". For medicinal use, stir-fry before application. [Jia Ming supplement]
