Effects and functions of the yellow grass

Ganhuangcao was first recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "Compendium of Materia Medica for Famine Relief". It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, removing jaundice and dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It is an empirical prescription of the Miao people for treating liver disease and is called "Shenxiancao".

According to the pathological analysis of liver fibrosis, liver fibrosis has certain similarities with the "syndrome accumulation" in traditional Chinese medicine. Similarly, TCM has a multifaceted understanding of the pathogenesis of symptom accumulation, but in essence, it is mainly based on blood stasis and phlegm accumulation. Cirrhosis of the liver is caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, which leads to blood stasis and stagnation. The blood coagulation and phlegm and dampness accumulate, blocking the blood vessels and forming lumps (enlarged liver and spleen), which then coagulate and become hard and cannot be moved. According to the records in "Tianbao Materia Medica" and "Jiuhuang Materia Medica", Ganhuangcao has the effects of dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dampness, and promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: nourishing yang focuses on nourishing the liver. In the Five Elements theory, the liver belongs to wood, corresponds to spring, and is responsible for growth. The liver has the function of detoxification and has the heaviest burden. However, the growth of liver qi can cause old diseases to relapse. For example, rising liver fire in spring can cause the lung yin to become more deficient. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine proposes the principle of replenishing yang in spring and summer. It is advisable to eat more foods that warm and replenish yang to enrich the body's yang and increase its resistance. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" also advocates eating a mixture of polygonum, wormwood, mustard, and spicy wild vegetables to replenish yang energy.
