[Source] It is the root bark of the coconut, a plant of the palm family. Available all year round.

[Original form] Coconut (Haiyao Bencao), also known as: Xu Yu (Historical Records), Xu Ye (Han Shu), Yue Wang Tou (Southern Plant Description), Coconut Chestnut (Taiwan Tree Records).

[Habitat distribution] It grows on tropical sandy land or on the banks of rivers and valleys with higher temperatures, and on relatively moist plains. Distributed in Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Yunnan (southern) and other places.

[Chemical composition] The leaves contain scabio-inositol.

[Pharmacological action] The decoction and water extract (with alcohol added to remove the precipitate) of the leaves and stems have a stimulating effect on the isolated guinea pig ileum, but have no significant effect on the isolated rat uterus. Intravenous injection of the decoction in anesthetized dogs has a blood pressure-lowering effect. When 0.1 g of the decoction was injected into the peritoneum of mice, both mice died within 24 hours. The water extract has less toxicity, and intraperitoneal injection of 1 gram of the raw drug per animal only causes the same toxicity.
