When I was a child, I often went to my grandmother's house with my mother. We had to pass a small river. In midsummer, there would be patches of wild grass with beautiful little flowers on the riverside. It looked very beautiful and made people feel very good, but I couldn't name it. My mother told me that this kind of flower is called Gentiana here, and it is called Gentiana gentiana, grass gentian, and mountain gentiana in other places. The roots and rhizomes are very good medicinal materials, especially for treating complete hair loss. Gentian is the root and stem of perennial herbaceous plants such as Gentiana striata of the Gentianaceae family. It can be harvested in spring and autumn, and the one harvested in autumn is of better quality. The roots and rhizomes are used as medicine. It tastes bitter and is cold in nature. It is good at clearing away heat and drying dampness. It has a very strong effect in relieving the excess fire in the liver and gallbladder, and can calm wind, stop convulsions and relieve pain. Indications: Liver and gallbladder fire disturbance, with symptoms of headache, red eyes, flank pain, bitter taste in the mouth, deafness and swollen ears; or damp-heat downward movement, with symptoms of genital swelling and itching, tendon atrophy, genital sweating, turbid urine, and damp-heat downward movement in women. (This prescription is often used for intractable migraine, eczema on the head, hypertension, acute conjunctivitis, iridocyclitis, furuncle in the external auditory canal, rhinitis, acute icteric hepatitis, acute cholecystitis, as well as inflammation of the genitourinary system, acute pyelonephritis, acute cystitis, urethritis, vulvitis, orchitis, inguinal lymphadenitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, herpes zoster, etc., which are caused by excess fire and damp heat in the liver meridian.) Gentian also has a good effect in treating total hair loss. In modern society, due to the accelerated pace of life, increased work pressure and heavier mental burden, more and more hair loss patients are seen. The treatment of general hair loss is difficult, and it is even more difficult to deal with patients with total baldness. Even patients with total baldness, such as those with complete loss of eyebrows, beards, armpit hair, and pubic hair, are more difficult to treat. From 2000 to 2003, a total of 6 patients with total hair loss were treated. All of them had tried Western medicine or multiple external treatments without improvement. The clinical manifestations were total hair loss, red tongue with yellow fur or red and crimson tongue with prickles and thin yellow fur, and rapid and stringy pulse. The patient took the medicine internally and used external wash prescriptions at the same time. After 2 courses of treatment (30 days × 2), the patient's eyebrows, armpit hair, and pubic hair had grown out. After 6 courses of treatment, the scalp turned black and the sparse hair stood out. After 12 courses of treatment, the hair became dense and the hair loss was cured. After long-term follow-up, the patients' hair became black and no recurrence was observed. She understands that the treatment of hair loss should be based on maintaining the essence while maintaining the substance, eliminating evil and strengthening the body, and only medicine can be used for treatment. Additional prescription: 1. To treat abdominal pain caused by fever: 30 grams of gentian, pound it with salt and take the juice. Take 15-30 grams of gentian and pound it into juice. 2.
