(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]

(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]

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]

(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]

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".
