Everyone is welcome to share their experiences with trying the medicines in the replies, to help other students search and learn.
183. Bi Xie (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma)
The base taste is sweet, but it will develop a bitter flavor. After the bitterness fades, the aftertaste remains sweet and lasts for quite a while.
After drinking, there is a slight swelling sensation in the limbs and lower back, and some swelling in both kidneys. The overall feeling is somewhat similar to Tu Fu Ling (Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma), which also dispels pathogens without harming the body’s vital energy.
Efficacy: Clears turbidity and removes obstruction, restores kidney and urinary functions.
184. Yin Chen (Artemisia capillaris)
The taste is unique but not unpleasant; it is quite palatable and makes you want to drink more, somewhat addictive.
After drinking, a cool sensation gathers in the middle of the spine and central area. This coolness gradually spreads along the Yang meridians, providing a refreshing and comfortable feeling wherever it reaches.
Efficacy: Expels damp-turbidity throughout the body. It is quite effective for hemolytic jaundice but requires stronger liver-nourishing and bile-promoting herbs for obstructive jaundice and hepatocellular jaundice.
The most widespread use of Yin Chen is actually to treat middle-aged facial yellowing and yellowing of the sclera. You may try it for your family.
185. Jin Qian Cao (Lysimachiae Herba)
Sour and sweet, quite tasty. Many herbal medicines appear plain but brew into quite pleasant drinks. Not surprising that Lazy Sheep’s delicious herbal cake might indeed be delicious.
After drinking, there is a shiver; the coldness level is probably among the highest in all herbs. The diuretic effect is notable. Both kidneys feel enveloped by two cold energy masses; the right liver has a tingling sensation with a slight bulge at one point. The tingling is especially obvious, possibly related to the gallbladder.
Efficacy: Clears heat and toxins, expels kidney stones, relieves nephritis, soothes liver and promotes bile flow.
