Xie Hao (Artemisia selengensis) treats foul and evil qi in the chest and diaphragm, promotes intestinal function, unblocks blood vessels, supplements deficient qi, and is beneficial when cooked as a soup (Recorded by Famous Physicians). [Name] Shan Hua Qun Hao. [Seedling] According to records: Xie Hao produces seedlings and leaves in spring; the stem is slightly square, one to two chi high, with leaves growing between nodes. The leaves resemble Qing Hao (Artemisia annua) but are finer and softer. By summer, it becomes lush, blooming with small yellow-white flowers forming spikes. By late autumn, stems and leaves wither. When tender, people also harvest them to cook as soup. [Origin] Found in mountains, wild areas, and gardens. [Season] (Growth) Spring seedlings; (Harvest) No fixed time. [Collection] Dried in shade.

Hu Gua Ye (Cucumber Leaf) treats infant "shan pi" (a type of pediatric disorder); infants aged one year may take more than one leaf, dosage adjusted carefully. Fresh juice taken orally induces vomiting and purging. ○ Crushed root applied externally treats swelling from Hu Ci (thorn) poisoning. ○ The fruit is sweet, cold, and toxic; do not consume excessively. It triggers chills and fever, predisposes to malaria, accumulates stagnant heat, causes Zhu Qi (infectious disease), leads to deficiency heat rising, shortness of breath, various diseases, skin sores, damages yin blood vessels and qi, causes Hong Kong Jiao (foot edema/gout), and is forbidden after epidemic fevers. Infants must avoid it strictly, as it causes intestinal parasites. Do not consume with vinegar (Recorded by Famous Physicians). [Name] Huang Gua. [Seedling] According to records: Hu Gua is the modern cucumber. Gardeners sow seeds in February, transplant seedlings in March, which grow vigorously along fences, blooming with yellow flowers. Leaves are green-yellow with slight thorns, slightly larger than muskmelon leaves. Fruits are round, 1-2 cun in diameter, about one chi long. Northern people call it Huang Gua; the name persisted due to taboo avoidance during Shi Le's reign. Varieties include green-skinned and white-skinned types. Consumed raw as a vegetable, it has no special medicinal function and offers no health benefits. A variety grown in autumn is similar in quality, commonly called Autumn Cucumber.
