Weixian (Peucedani Decursivi Radix): Bitter in taste, neutral and slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats wind-dampness Bi syndrome (painful obstruction caused by wind and dampness pathogens), Li-jie pain (pain traversing all joints), epilepsy with tongue protrusion due to fright, palpitations and qi disorder, thief-wind (sudden exposure to pathogenic winds), shu-lou (scrofula or tuberculous lymphadenitis), carbuncles and swellings, sudden accumulation disorders, expels water retention, and treats wei-jue (flaccidity and weakness of the limbs). Long-term consumption lightens the body and improves vision. Also known as Mi-xian, Cheng-gao, Cheng-ji, Wu-xin, and Wu-dian. Grows in rivers and marshes of Hanzhong, as well as in Wanqu and Handan. The stems and leaves are harvested in the seventh lunar month and dried in the shade. (It works well when combined with Qinpi.) It is rarely used in practice nowadays. (Da Guan Ben Cao, Vol. 7; Zheng He Ben Cao, p. 190)
Da Qing (Indigo Naturalis): Greatly cold in nature. It primarily treats qi-chuang (dermatitis caused by raw lacquer), re-chuang (heat-toxin sores), and edema. Jingzhong Lan (Polygoni Tinctorii Folium growing in wells) can detoxify various poisons such as Yege (Aconitum carmichaelii root) and Badou (Crotonis Fructus). Abandoned wells often grow moss, duckweed, and weeds like Songlan (Isatidis Radix) among bricks and soil. Since both can detoxify, those growing in wells are considered superior; they should not be classified as a separate entity named "Jingzhong Lan." Mud from the bottom of wells is extremely cold and also treats scalds and burns. Jinghua Shui (well water drawn at dawn) is also used in decoction and refining methods. (Da Guan Ben Cao, Vol. 9; Zheng He Ben Cao, p. 238)
Baiqian (Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma): Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats evil qi in the five zang organs, cold-dampness Bi syndrome, soreness and pain in the four limbs, and cold pain in the knees. It treats various diseases and tonifies primordial qi. In the Wu region, it is called Baigongcao; in Chu, Wangsun; in Qi, Changsun. Other names include Huangsun, Huanghun, Haishen, and Manyan. It grows in valleys west of the sea and beneath the walls of Rucheng city.
Currently, physicians call it Huanghun, and some say it is Mumeng. Market people rarely recognize it. (Da Guan Ben Cao, Vol. 9; Zheng He Ben Cao, p. 237)
Juechu (Justiciae Herba): Salty in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats lower back and spine pain, inability to lie flat, difficulty in bending and stretching, clears heat, and can be prepared as a bath decoction. It grows in valleys and fields of Hanzhong. (Da Guan Ben Cao, Vol. 9; Zheng He Ben Cao, p. 238)
Baiqian (another entry): Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats rebellious qi in the chest and hypochondrium, and cough with hyperactive qi.
This herb comes from nearby regions, resembling Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) but larger, white in color, and brittle. It is frequently used in formulas treating qi-related cough. (Da Guan Ben Cao, Vol. 9; Zheng He Ben Cao, p. 233)
