What disease does rootless grass treat

The most common thing in rural areas is rootless grass. Many people like to plant rootless grass and sweet potatoes together. In this way, when the harvest season comes, they can harvest sweet potatoes and rootless grass. Rootless grass is a kind of grass that seems to have no roots. It mainly survives by parasitizing other plants. Its medicinal value is also relatively high in clinical practice. So, what diseases can rootless grass be used to treat?

There is a kind of weed in the countryside. The strange thing is that it has no roots. It is a very strange parasitic plant that particularly likes to parasitize on crops such as soybeans or the Chinese medicinal herb Platycodon grandiflorum.

This thing does not have chloroplasts in its own cells. It absorbs nutrients by climbing and wrapping around plants, using its own thorns to pierce the skin of parasitic plants. Therefore, the plants it entangles will gradually turn yellow, become weak, and finally become the skeleton of this thing, so it becomes a harmful weed that harms farmland.

Seeing this, I guess many friends know what kind of weed this is. Yes, it is Cuscuta australis. Since it has no roots, we locally call it rootless grass, Wu Niang Pain, etc.

Although dodder is harmful to crops and is very annoying, some people in our area specifically go out to pick it. We heard that it can also cure diseases. Finally, we found out that dodder itself is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. It is only mistaken for a weed because it grows in the wrong place.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, Cuscuta has the effects of nourishing the kidney and replenishing essence, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, consolidating the fetus and stopping diarrhea. It is effective for the pain in the waist and knees caused by liver and kidney deficiency.

It has a very good conditioning and therapeutic effect on weak legs, impotence and spermatorrhea, talking in sleep, frequent urination, incomplete urination, dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus and deafness, leucorrhea and habitual abortion. Generally, high-quality Cuscuta seeds are chosen for consumption. Long-term use can improve eyesight, lighten the body, benefit qi and prolong life.

For patients who think too much, have weak heart and kidney, have turbid urine, have frequent dreams when sleeping, and have frequent nocturnal emission, take 5 liang of Cuscuta seeds, 2 liang of Echeveria meat, and 3 liang of white Poria cocos. Grind them into powder together, and make them into pills the size of sycamore seeds with wine paste. Take 30 to 50 pills each time on an empty stomach with salt soup.

To treat Yang Qi deficiency, take equal parts of Cuscuta australis and Rehmannia glutinosa, grind them into powder, mix with wine to make pills the size of sycamore seeds, and take 50 pills each time. For those with Qi deficiency, take it with ginseng soup, and for those with Qi deficiency, take it with agarwood soup.

To treat persistent thirst, take an appropriate amount of Cuscuta seeds, add water to boil the juice, drink it at will until the disease is cured.

Although Cuscuta australis is good, it is not suitable for everyone, especially those with hot temper. Men who don’t have any unspeakable secrets in that area should forget about it and should not try it.

When using Cuscuta australis to treat diseases, it is still necessary to take it under the guidance of a professional, because all medicines are toxic and if you fail to grasp the right measure, it may backfire.
