Is Thousand-root Grass Poisonous?

I believe that friends who have lived in the countryside must be very familiar with weeds. After all, weeds were the most common in the countryside in the past. Of course, there are still many weeds in the countryside today, but there are far fewer weeds now than before. But the kind of weeds we are going to talk about today, I think all farmers are familiar with it, this kind of weed is "Thousands of Grasses" and is the most common in the countryside.

In fact, the editor is also a genuine country kid. He used to see this kind of weeds when living in the countryside. If I saw this kind of weeds at that time, I would definitely pull them out, but the grass was very tough and I would be hurt by it every time. I think friends who grew up in the countryside must have played such games before. After all, in the past, they could only play with weeds in the countryside.

Thousand-root grass usually grows on barren farmland, and its growth rate is also very fast. It can cover a small area in a short time, and the growth method of this grass is also very special. It crawls directly on the ground and then grows along the ground. In the past, thousand-root grass was not highly valued by farmers, but nowadays this kind of weed is indeed a good Chinese medicinal material. It is also said that it can be used as medicine, which has various effects such as clearing away heat and removing fire, promoting urination, and relieving itching.

I think everyone knows that the living conditions in rural areas were relatively difficult before, and many adults at that time knew some folk secrets. If any family members have a slight cold or cough, they will go to the countryside to pick some medicinal herbs and bring them home to boil water to drink. This kind of Qiangencao can also be boiled into water and drunk. Then, drinking it in water will have the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire, and it is also beneficial for urination. The effect is very significant. I wonder if you have ever drunk this kind of Qiangencao water before?

I still remember that when I lived in the countryside, I often drank water boiled with Chinese herbal medicine. However, nowadays, people rarely drink it, after all, there are only cold water shops on the market. If you get angry easily, you can drink some cold water or take some laxatives at home. I wonder if there is this kind of thousand-root grass in your hometown?
