In rural areas, there are a lot of wild flowers and weeds growing on hillsides, under the shade of trees, in crop fields, or on the roadside. Xiao bian is also from rural areas. He often pulls out some weeds along the road or in the fields to feed the cows, rabbits and sheep at home. Looking back now, I really miss those years. The topic of cough is far from the point. Xiaobian inadvertently searched on the computer and found that one of the weeds that had been pulled out before actually had an unexpected curative effect. This weed will have purple flowers. Today Xiaobian will introduce this weed.

China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, especially in rural areas and mountainous areas, which are full of wild flowers and plants, whether in the neighborhood or on the roadside or in the fields. Some farmers like these wild plants and some hate them. Why? Because some of them are edible, such as purslane, salsola, broom seedlings and so on. However, they often grow in crops, which have a certain impact on the growth of crops and are usually pulled up as weeds by people. Most people should have seen this plant that Xiaobian is going to talk about next. It is Hu Cai!

Hu-cai is an annual herb, also known as pig-dou-cai, wormwood, scissorgrass, lime-cai, fuzz ball, Ixeris sonchifolia, etc. It is spread all over China except Tibet and Xinjiang, and also grows in Korea, Japan, Indochina Peninsula, South Asia and Australia abroad. Often wild in hillside, forest edge, grassland, wasteland, fields, rivers, roadsides and other places, it is a traditional folk wild vegetable deeply loved by everyone. Hu Hu Cai has soft leaves and pure smell. Rural people often dig its tender seedlings and take them home for cooking. It can be stir-fried, made into soup or cold (cooked in boiling water), which is delicious.

Not only can Hu Cai be used for cooking, but also the whole herb can be used as medicine. It is pungent in taste and flat in nature, and has the effects of relieving swelling, resolving hard mass, clearing away heat and toxic materials, removing blood stasis and promoting granulation. People often use it to improve cervical lymphadenitis, carbuncle, furuncle, rubella and itching, and it is undoubtedly of great benefit to health if they eat it regularly.
