The subject is good! In rural areas, many weeds are medicines, but we don't know them now, and we don't understand their medicinal properties and pharmacology. Usually, they are treated directly as weeds. Today, Xiao Zhao will tell you a few kinds, which are annoying to you, and there are weeds with good curative effects.
Stephania Stephania: It is especially common in rural areas. It likes to climb on other trees and garden fences. As long as it can climb up, it climbs, growing fiercely, and can wrap other trees around and wither and die. The word flooding can be used to describe it, especially in rural areas. However, this kind of grass is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which can clear away heat and toxic materials, stomachache, snake bite and so on, and is a commonly used medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine.
Bidens bipinnata: It is especially abundant at the edge of the field, which often blocks the growth of rice and will be cut down by farmers as weeds. It has the effect of treating spider and poisonous snake bites.
Bangbangui: Also known as snake retrogression, this kind is more than Stephania, with thorns all over it, which is difficult to handle. Generally, herbicides are directly sprayed. It has the effects of clearing away heat, reducing swelling and relieving cough.
Madder: It is very common in the countryside. It is generally found on the garden fence. It is also very fierce. It likes to climb on other trees. The pole is square (prismatic) and has fine thorns. Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used to treat cold, dampness, wind arthralgia, jaundice and hemostasis.
Not only these kinds, such as Cyperus rotundus, Commelina communis, Cynanchum japonicum, Phytolacca acinosa, Lygodium japonicum, etc., are particularly common in rural areas, and there are many Chinese herbal medicines, but the western medicines and Chinese patent medicines we all use now ignore that there are many herbs around us that can cure diseases and save lives, and there is a lack of people who understand medicinal pharmacology.
What are the medicinal weeds in the countryside? What are the main attack effects? Every plant has its own characteristics and functions. In this vast land, plants growing in different places are different because of different regions.
In our rural areas, these drugs that can cure diseases are often called herbal medicines, saying that grass is not all grass, but some fruits, some roots and some flowers. The reason why they are called herbal medicines is probably the floorboard of wild drugs that can cure diseases!
When I was a child, I often read my grandfather's Chinese medicine book. Although I didn't know a few words and didn't understand what it meant, the plants in the picture were recorded, and I often ran around the mountains when I was bored, so I tried to know things, and I still know a lot of herbal medicines.
That is to say, dandelion, purslane, plantain and big bowl can be used medicinally in rural vegetable gardens. There are perilla, horsehead orchid, selfheal, small copper hammer, big fish eye grass, verbena and so on beside the ditch ridge. Below I will introduce you to three common and commonly used herbal medicines here.
motherwort herb
Motherwort is a kind of medicine commonly used by women. It tastes extremely bitter. There are two kinds of flowers: safflower and white flower. Safflower is commonly used in medicine. I planted a lot behind my house once. This kind of grass can treat women's irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and leukorrhagia and other diseases.
Spot pile
This herb, also called Polygonum cuspidatum, grows at the foot of the field and belongs to perennial plants. No matter whether the land is barren or short of water and fertilizer, it will grow well.
People often dig its roots as tea, which is a cold medicine that can clear away heat and detoxify blindly. It is mainly used for toothache caused by wind and fire and sore throat.
Ground black bee
As the name implies, the root of this weed is like a black bee. Don't underestimate its ugliness, but it is a good medicine for treating gastroenteritis blindly.
In rural areas, when the older generation encountered a headache and fever, they first thought of digging some herbs themselves, or finding a village doctor to open a small square and grab some herbs to drink. It seems that in every village, there are so many old people. I am quite familiar with all kinds of herbs, and I can know and understand the usage and efficacy of those weeds one by one.
Herbs are based on grass. As for which are weeds and which can be used as medicine, it is like a saying that rural elderly people like to say: what they know is a treasure, but what they don't know is the root grass. Many weeds in rural areas are a good medicine in the eyes of knowledgeable people.
Medicinal weeds in rural areas are rich and colorful, and their effects are profound. Let's count the common but difficult-to-know ones:
1, geese don't eat
In the southern countryside, geese can often be seen not eating grass in rice fields, under fruit trees, on the edge of wet ridges or on the grass. Goose doesn't eat grass, its branches are thin and thin, its leaves are thin and little, and it looks unremarkable on the ground. If you look at its appearance, it will disappear among the grass.
But this ugly goose doesn't eat grass, and the whole plant can be used as medicine to disperse cold, clear the nose, relieve cough and detoxify. Indications: common cold due to wind-cold, stuffy nose, cold phlegm, cough and asthma, sore and carbuncle. It also has its unique effect on rhinitis.
2. Lobelia chinensis
Lobelia chinensis is also a common weed in rural areas. It can be seen everywhere in humid places such as the edge of the ridge and the edge of the ditch.
Everyone who cultivates the land knows that weeding in the crop field is most afraid of encountering this kind of weeds. Its roots are also thin and long. After being shoveled off, white pulp is emitted, and pieces of broken branches are left in the ground. Because the stems and leaves are very fine, it is difficult to pick them out, and it grows again in a few days, which is extremely vital.
Scutellaria barbata is also a whole medicinal plant, which has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and detumescence, and is mainly used for treating sores, carbuncle, snake bites, wet sores and eczema.
In a word, there are many kinds of medicinal weeds in rural areas, and the mystery and value of these weeds are waiting for people to explore and dig. How to make better and rational use of everything in nature for the benefit of mankind is also a very important knowledge!
These five kinds of weeds, which are common in rural areas, are good Chinese medicines for relieving numbness of hands and feet and lowering blood fat.
1. perilla seed
Perilla seed is very common in our life, which not only has high medicinal value, but also can control platelet aggregation, reduce neutral lipids in blood, clear cholesterol and prevent thrombosis. In addition, it also plays an important role in strengthening the brain, improving learning and memory, and helping the growth of brain nerve cells.
2. Five elements
Five elements grass, also known as purslane, tastes sweet and sour, and enters the heart, liver, spleen and intestines in traditional Chinese medicine, so it has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting diuresis and eliminating dampness, killing bacteria and diminishing inflammation, stopping bleeding and cooling blood. It contains nutrients, which can also help anti-aging and slow down the pace of aging.
3. Caulis Sinomenii
Xuefengteng is reddish in color, which has good effects of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation. It can also regulate the human body's meridians, promote the mobility of limbs, and change the problem of numbness of hands and feet. If the qi and blood in the body are not running smoothly, or women who often have dysmenorrhea symptoms can improve it by eating it.
4. Arnebia euchroma
Arnebia euchroma is also a common weed in life. Taking it in summer can help clear away heat and purge fire. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also contains a lot of protein and minerals, which can protect our eyes, especially for people with eye diseases caused by lack of amino acids. Secondly, it also has a good effect of cooling blood. For human body, if blood is hot, it is easy to cause blood in stool and urine. Taking Lithospermum can clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and stop bleeding.
5. Sarcoidosis
It is also called Jiujiehua, which tastes bitter and has mild properties. It has a very obvious effect in preventing and treating numbness of limbs, fractures and female dysmenorrhea. Among them, anti-inflammatory and sterilization is one of its main functions, and it has a good elimination effect on many bacteria that can make people sick. If you suffer from enteritis, pneumonia, tracheitis and other diseases, you can take it after decocting it with water, which can help relieve it.
From an early age, I heard from the old people in the village that flowers and plants in the fields and mountains are treasures. At that time, if you don't believe it, you should be a joke. However, if any family member in the village has a headache, brain fever or injury from a fall, the old people will go to the fields or mountains to dig some weeds to boil water or apply scraps. Although it seems a bit incredible, it is really effective. Today, I will introduce the following kinds of medicinal weeds commonly used by rural people to share with you.
The first kind, Cheqiancao.
Cheqiancao can be seen everywhere in the countryside, and many old people in the village will go to the mountains to dig some dried grass for tea in spring. Sometimes someone who has a fever drinks water with it, and the effect is also very good.
Medically speaking, Plantago asiatica has the effects of clearing away heat and diuresis, improving eyesight, eliminating phlegm and reducing fire. It can be eaten. In spring, you can dig up the juvenile of Plantago asiatica to make food, and you can also use it to make tea for drinking. Although it doesn't have much negative effects on people's health, it is still recommended not to take it often. After all, it is a three-point poison.
The second kind, wormwood
This is also very common in rural areas. Many old people use it to boil water to soak their feet. Some people drive wormwood into ropes to dry and light it in summer to repel mosquitoes, and put dried wormwood in pillows as pillows. Moreover, the tender wormwood can also be eaten and made into various delicacies.
Medically speaking, wormwood can eliminate dampness, regulate menstruation and dispel wind, which is mainly used to treat irregular menstruation, gout, rheumatism and joint pain.
The third kind, Qiqi bud
I remember when I was young, I sometimes accidentally hurt my bleeding, so I ran to the wild to find a few Qiqi buds, rubbed them into a ball by hand and put them in the bleeding place. Although it would hurt a little when I first put them on, it soon stopped bleeding. Moreover, its roots are boiled with brown sugar, which can treat recurrent nosebleeds and has a very good effect.
Seven-seven buds have five poisons, and they are very nutritious, and have the effects of lowering blood pressure, enriching blood, stopping bleeding, preventing cancer and reducing swelling.
There are many weeds that can be used in rural areas, such as dandelion, shepherd's purse, bitter vegetable, black nightshade, honeysuckle, gray vegetables and so on.
There are indeed many wild vegetables with medicinal value growing in the countryside, and some of these wild vegetables can also be eaten. I remember when I was a child, there was no TV at that time, and I could only listen to the stories told by the older generation and some things around me. At most, I lived by eating wild vegetables in the famine years, and I saved many people's lives by these wild vegetables, such as Rehmannia glutinosa, grey vegetables, horsetails, shepherd's purse, dandelion, bitter vegetables, day lily, plantain and so on. They can not only cure diseases, but also preserve health and save lives at critical times. That's how the older generation passed down everything they know and practical experience by telling stories. I didn't realize until I grew up that the painstaking efforts of the older generation were to let us know more about these wild vegetables, in order to prevent us from using them for emergency treatment when we were sick. But now that life is good and medical care is better, there are still many people who like to eat some wild vegetables with medicinal value to keep healthy and prevent and treat some common ailments.
Let's take a look at what medicinal wild vegetables are available in the countryside!
1, Rehmannia glutinosa: Everyone is familiar with it. I remember when we were young, we often picked the flowers of Rehmannia glutinosa and sucked the back of the flowers, which were sweet and fragrant. The root of Rehmannia glutinosa has good medicinal value. According to the records, it has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, nourishing blood and enriching blood, strengthening heart and diuresis, relieving fever and diminishing inflammation, promoting blood coagulation and lowering blood sugar.
2. Equisetum dentatum: This is the most common wild vegetable, and its vitality is very tenacious. No matter what soil can grow luxuriantly, it can be found everywhere. It is a kind of potherb with high medicinal value, and it can also be eaten. You can pick the tender tip of Swertia japonica, wash it, scald it with hot water, stir-fry it and eat it with it. Its medicinal value is clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, detoxicating, reducing swelling, diminishing inflammation, quenching thirst and inducing diuresis.
3. Grey vegetables: According to the data, grey vegetables have the functions of clearing away heat and losing weight, and have inhibitory effects on influenza and Japanese encephalitis virus.
There are many wild vegetables growing on rural land, and they all have their own medicinal functions. Let's stop here and introduce them one by one! It is best to consult the information before eating.
When I say that the countryside is full of treasures, you will agree that there will be many wild vegetables and herbs in the countryside in spring. In fact, many wild vegetables are herbs, such as dandelion, Artemisia scoparia, Rana Rana, and plantain. These are edible and medicinal herbs, but today we don't talk about edible herbs.
Today, we are going to talk about herbs that can only be used as medicine but not edible. Although this kind of grass looks ugly, its medicinal value is particularly good, especially in daily life. See if you have seen it since I talked about it.
Is it strange to hear the name of Sangxuecao? Although the name of this herb sounds strange, it is common in rural areas, but everyone has not paid attention to this herb, because everyone is basically concerned about edible wild vegetables and medicinal wild vegetables.
The medicinal value of Sangxuecao is shown in our daily life. For example, we usually scratch and bleed when working in the farmland. At this time, we can find this Sangxuecao and mash it and apply it to the wound to stop bleeding. At the same time, it can also be used for hemorrhoids and toothache.
The growing environment and the best time to dig and dig are the favorite places of Sanguisorba herb, which generally grows in fields, rivers and Woods. In short, this herb can basically adapt to the environment.
This herb must be excavated at the best time to exert its greatest value. Generally, it is the best time to excavate this herb in the middle and late March and the middle and late April.
The collected scattered blood grass can be dried in the shade, and then cut into small pieces and sealed for preservation.
To sum up: there are many herbs in rural areas, but the herb that can only be used as medicine is the most common one in rural areas, so you can be good at observing and learning in your daily life, and you will find many plants that are beneficial to people around you.
Ghost needle is the name of northerners, but southerners don't call it that. It's called ghost hairpin. There are also those called ghost bones, as Jiangsu people call them. The ghost yellow flower is farther south, Fujian.
It is also called Xianfeng grass and Tongzhi grass. Why? Who knows. But no matter what you call it, it's still a ghost.
This ghost is actually not ugly, a bit like a chrysanthemum. There are five petals, white flowers, and the middle huangqi is gathered together, like five fingers together and straight. This core will give birth to a ghost needle in the future.
This ghost is not difficult in spring. Hide in the corner and rub your hands secretly. Just stay in summer and autumn and lie on your feet. "Ghosts lie on their feet" is a rural saying that a person will never change his mind. Just like a ghost needle
However, there are times when it is unlucky. If it meets an animal with a good mouth, it will be angry at a glance and swallow it alive.
I'm peeing to hear the name of the ghost needle. People in the village feel unlucky when they meet "ghosts", for fear of being contaminated. Naturally, I am far away. However, always listen to adults, but there is something fishy in the laughter and scolding. What headless ghosts, cheapskates, pain in the ass, and chihuo are all in their mouths. Gradually, I was able to shrug off it.
Sometimes I will pick its stamens to play with. Let the adults make a sudden snatch and take it away, swearing, "It's even fun." Throw it in the stable.
Children in the village often take ghost needles as hidden weapons, throw them at people and run away like wild animals. The remaining one cocked his head and pulled his hair helplessly, pulled out his neck and pulled his sleeves.
Its leaves are also very hanging, and it is accidentally hung with a blood stain. No wonder it's also called getting wet with grass.
Later, I gradually found out that this ghost likes to linger in the back of the house, in the wild and on the ridge. Sometimes, it's next to a cement pipe. In the dormitory area where I lived, there were four large cement pipes that were idle, and we often played in them. Out of the pipe, I accidentally got in its way.
It will also grow in some deserted homes. I've been in a tent all my life, dense, with scorpions resting below. If a person passes by, he will cock his tail, regardless of the willy-nilly, and come at once.
There are often people who scratch their fingers and feet. Of course, the chicken will stop eating. Whether it is a big chicken or a chicken, when they meet, they go like crazy, "giggle eggs" and swallow them alive.
There are many chickens here. The fox and mouse people also come here to settle down. They have the most stories. In the Qing notes, the foxes and ghosts in Yuewei Caotang and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio are so often seen in places where no one is alive.
I was timid at that time and seldom entered such a portal. Grandfather's yard, on the left is an empty kiln yard, and on the right is the grandfather's house. After people moved away, the kiln was also empty.
When you walk in, you can't help feeling sad. In fact, many trees are planted in these two courtyards. On the left are dates and apricots. Bitter apricot, apricot just has big knuckles. Grandpa's house on the right is jujube and peach.
Maotao is as big as a walnut, but it's not ripe and green. It seems that the stories in these two kilns are also bitter and astringent. For example, grandpa is good at playing with money, and grandma has to go crazy. The so-called creation is like this.
Actually, I didn't really believe in Feng Shui. However, there are some things that you can't help thinking about.
In fact, this ghost is not a ghost, but it is amazing. People in Taiwan Province take it as tea, drink it in summer, and burn it. And use it to make toothpaste. South Americans and South Africans like to use it to treat diabetes.
In our country, a long time ago, a snake bit and gave a ghost needle. The ant bit it and gave it a ghost needle. I fell down and got a ghost needle. Diarrhea, ghost needle. Grow a blister, swelling or something, and get a ghost needle. It's like a bowl of ghost needle soup, and it can all be solved.
I don't have much time to go to the wild now, so naturally, I won't see the fucking ghost again.
Common wild herbs in rural areas include dandelion, Bupleurum, Huang Cen, Plantago asiatica, Artemisia annua, madder, Cirsium japonicum, Cirsium japonicum, Portulaca oleracea, Patrinia, Artemisia argyi, Semen Vaccariae, Tinglizi, Leonurus japonicus, Farfarae Flos, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Herba Violae, Solanum nigrum, Fructus Xanthii, Wild Huang Ju, Fructus Arctii and other herbs. It has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, removing blood stasis and swelling, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, etc. Each herb has many functions, so I won't introduce them one by one.
