My grandmother in my hometown suffered a lot all her life and lived a very frugal life. In recent years, she has taken up a new activity, which is picking Chinese medicinal herbs on the roadside and selling them for money. She didn't understand these medicinal herbs, but she would go to the market to ask about the purchase price, and then take samples and collect those specimens to sell to drug dealers. Although she doesn't understand much, what she gets are all good things, pure wild Chinese medicinal materials. One time, I saw some dandelions she had picked, and I asked her how much she could sell them for. It was a big pile, almost ten kilograms, and she said it could be sold for a hundred yuan. I thought about it, if these medicinal materials flowed into our hospital, the price would increase at least a hundred times. My instant thought was that these drug dealers are really good at deceiving people, but then I thought that letting my grandma do some work might not be a bad thing, so I didn't stop her. In autumn, my grandmother would collect some wild chrysanthemums, dry them and then sell them. The price is still not expensive, but after the drug dealers buy it, they will regard it as a precious medicinal material, put it in a grandiose cabinet, and sell it to city people at a high price. Wild chrysanthemum is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, which grows wild in wild areas such as hillside meadows, field edges, and roadsides. I have been to many places and have seen this wild flower, which shows that wild chrysanthemum is widely distributed. Wild chrysanthemum is a very commonly used Chinese medicine. It is picked when the flowers first bloom in autumn and winter, and then dried in the sun, or steamed and then dried for later use. Wild chrysanthemum is bitter, spicy and slightly cold in nature. It enters the liver and heart meridians. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, purging fire and calming the liver. It is often used to treat furuncles, carbuncles, red and swollen eyes, headaches, dizziness and other symptoms. I often use wild chrysanthemum to treat acne, pustules, boils, etc. For the treatment of common skin diseases such as tinea capitis, eczema, pemphigus, etc., use appropriate amounts of wild chrysanthemum, neem root bark, and Sophora flavescens root. Decoction in water for external washing. Summer colds, heat boils and skin ulcers. You can use a concentrated decoction of wild chrysanthemum flowers or stems and leaves to wash, and then cover with cotton wool or gauze soaked in the decoction. For various yang abscesses in the ears, nose, throat and mouth, you can use 1 liang 6 qian of wild chrysanthemum, 1 liang 6 qian of dandelion, 1 liang of Viola yedoensis, 1 liang of Forsythia suspensa, and 1 liang of Dendrobium. Decoction in water and take three times a day. Wild chrysanthemum tea can prevent colds and other diseases, and has a good effect in treating sore throats. |
