(1) Individuals suffering from Cold Qi (Cold Pathogen) may boil and consume it; long-term use is beneficial. [Xin]
(2) Within ten days after recovery from a Heat Disease (Febrile Illness), one should not consume hot Chinese chives, as doing so will induce lethargy and discomfort. [Jia]
(3) Furthermore, for cases of Chest Bi Syndrome (Obstruction in the Chest characterized by pain and dyspnea), presenting with urgent chest pain like needle pricks, inability to bend or straighten the body, and cold sweating, or pain radiating through to the back, which if untreated may lead to death: Take five jin (approx. 2.5 kg) of fresh Chinese chives or roots, wash them, crush to extract juice, and administer a small amount orally. This will induce vomiting of evil blood (stagnant blood) from the chest. [Jia]
(4) It can also be pickled and eaten on an empty stomach, yielding significant results. When fried until cooked, consumed with salt and vinegar on an empty stomach, one plate suffices for more than ten meals. It is highly effective in treating Qi stagnation in the chest, diaphragm, and throat, unblocking the chest and diaphragm, with verified efficacy. [Zheng]
(5) For newborn infants, crushing the roots to extract juice and administering it orally will cause the expulsion of evil blood from the chest, preventing various diseases permanently. [Zheng]
(6) Do not consume Chinese chives in the fifth lunar month. In years of famine, it can be cooked together with rice. One mu (approx. 0.067 hectares) of planting can provide food for ten people. [Zheng]
(1) It lightens the body and delays aging. It treats metal wounds (penetrating injuries) and promotes muscle regeneration: Crush fresh Allium macrostemon (Chinese leek) white bulbs raw, apply heat via fire sealing, then warm the area with fire to penetrate the heat into the wound; replace when dry. [Zheng]
(2) It treats wind-water edema within various sores: Crush raw and apply hot externally, or boil for washing. [Jia]
(3) The white variety is best. Although it has a pungent aroma, it does not disturb the Five Zang Organs (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney). [Jia, Zheng]
(4) Furthermore, patients with Febrile Diseases should avoid excessive consumption. Do not consume raw Allium macrostemon in the third lunar month. [Zheng]
(5) Furthermore, it treats alternating chills and fever, eliminates fluid retention, warms the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner), and disperses nodulated Qi: It can be prepared as a soup. [Zheng]
(6) (To treat abdominal distension and fullness): Prepare as aged pickles and consume on an empty stomach. [Xin]
(7) Furthermore, it treats leukorrhea (white and red vaginal discharge) in women. [Zheng]
(8) Long-term consumption by Daoist practitioners can facilitate spiritual connection, calm the soul (Hun and Po), tonify Qi, and strengthen tendons and muscles. [Xin, Jia, Zheng]
(9) If a bone is stuck in the throat and cannot pass, consuming Allium macrostemon will facilitate its passage downward. [Zheng]
(1) It repels evil Qi, relieves fatigue, transmits insufficient Qi of the Five Zang Organs, and assists the Spleen and Stomach. Excessive consumption may harass the spirits of the Five Zang Organs. It promotes smooth blood vessels, induces sweating, but may trigger thirst-related ailments. [Jia, Zheng]
(2) Furthermore, crush into powder, mix with vinegar, and apply topically to swellings caused by Wind-Toxicity. [Zheng]
(3) For carbuncles (Ding Zhong), take one bunch of Schizonepeta (Schizonepetae Herba), add five sheng (approx. 1 liter) of water, boil down to two sheng, cool, and divide into two doses for oral administration. [Zheng]
(4) Schizonepeta is also known as Xi Ming. [Yi]
