Conditions of spermatorrhea, intestinal wind with bloody dysentery, and bloody diarrhea. It is an essential medicine for obstetric and gynecological disorders and also a good remedy for surgery.
It grows in valleys everywhere. The stem has four edges, resembling Boehmeria nivea (Ramie), with leaves growing opposite each other. It flowers in April, resembling Leonurus japonicus (Motherwort) flowers, and its root resembles Cirsium japonicum (Da Ji). Since the Han Dynasty, people have mistakenly used Cirsium japonicum (Da Ji) as Dipsaci Radix (Xu Duan), an error that has persisted for a long time. Furthermore, those that are reddish in color, slender, and emit dust-like powder when broken are considered superior; those produced in Sichuan are the best.
