The wild grass I played with when I was a kid can actually detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve cough

In our vast rural areas, there are many plants that seem inconspicuous but actually have great medicinal value. The plant we are going to talk about today is called Zeqi, and because it often has 5 green flowers on the top, it is also called Five Clouds. Lacquer grass is produced in most parts of my country, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang producing the highest amounts. The whole plant is used as medicine. The whole herb is collected in spring and summer, dried and used as medicine.

To treat water vapor: 10 jin of Zeqi (pick young leaves in summer, add one dou of wine, grind and extract juice, about two dou). Simmer the above medicines over low heat until they become thin sugar, then stop and store in a porcelain container. Take one teaspoon with warm wine on an empty stomach every day.

Ze lacquer is toxic and should not be used in excess or for a long time. Use with caution in patients with weak spleen and stomach. The emulsion of lacquer is highly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Contact with skin may cause redness, or even inflammation and ulceration. If fresh grass or milky juice is accidentally ingested, the oral cavity, esophageal and gastric mucosa may become inflamed and eroded, with burning pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea. In severe cases, it may cause dehydration and even acidosis.

Therefore, when picking lacquer, be careful not to apply a large amount of lacquer juice on the skin, especially on tender skin.
