Fritillaria can be divided into Fritillaria cirrhosa and Fritillaria thunbergii according to different producing areas. Fritillaria cirrhosa is born in alpine and cold regions and distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Tibet, Gansu and other places. The bulb is small and the two petals are equal, and it is called pine shell, green shell and furnace shell.
Fritillaria thunbergii was born in wet hillside grass, distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan and other places. The bulb is large and divided into two petals, which is known as Yuanbao and Zhubei. The two have different origins and different sizes.
Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae has low yield and high price, and its main functions are nourishing yin and moistening lung, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm. Its efficacy tends to be tonic, and it mainly focuses on strengthening the body resistance, which is suitable for chronic cough caused by lung yin deficiency.
Fritillaria thunbergii has a large output and a low price. Its main functions are clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, resolving stagnation and detoxifying. Its efficacy tends to be scattered, mainly to eliminate evil, and it has a good curative effect on cough caused by acute respiratory infection.
To put it simply, Fritillaria cirrhosa is used to clear fire and remove dampness for chronic cough; Fritillaria thunbergii is used for moistening lung and treating heat, and is used for wind-heat cough.
Therefore, for common acute cough, Fritillaria thunbergii is more symptomatic and cheaper than Fritillaria thunbergii.
The difference in efficacy between the two mainly lies in:
Fritillaria cirrhosa:
1. It is less bitter and cold, and has insufficient heat-clearing power, but it tastes sweet and moist, and works to moisten the lungs and relieve cough. It is often used to treat cough due to lung dryness and chronic cough due to fatigue.
2. The power of clearing away heat and resolving stagnation is not as good as that of Zhejiang shellfish, and it is often used to treat people with physical deficiency and phlegm.
3. The taste is not bitter, the drug effect is mild, and it is suitable for children to cough.
Fritillaria thunbergii:
1. It is bitter and cold, with strong heat-clearing power, which tends to clear lung and eliminate phlegm. It is often used to treat phlegm-heat stagnation in lung or wind-heat cough, yellow and thick phlegm, etc.
2. It is effective in clearing away heat and dispersing stagnation, and is commonly used to treat scrofula, carbuncle, lung carbuncle, breast carbuncle and skin carbuncle caused by phlegm-fire condensation.
