Radix Pulsatillae

Origin:
Chinese pulsatilla root is the root of the perennial plant Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel, of the Ranunculaceae family. Native to East Asia, it is grown from east Siberia to Inner Mongolia, the northeast and north of China. A related herb, Pulsatilla nigricans, is native to northern Europe and England. This wild plant grows in sunny meadows, pastures, and fields.



The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by insects. A crown of leaves forms on the ground, from which a single flower grows in March and May. The stem reaches a height of about 10-40 cm and has downy hairs that grow on it. The flower is colored blue violet.

The root is harvested in spring. When used, remove leaves and residual flower stems and fibrous roots from the roots, retaining the white tassels at the root heads, dry them in the sun and use when raw.

Also called Anemone Root, Wood Anemone, Wild-flower Root, Pasque Flower Root.

Properties:
Bitter in flavor, cold in nature, it is related to the large intestine channel.

Functions:
Clears away heat to expel toxic substances, removes heat from the blood and arrests diarrhea.

The plant was used medicinally during ancient times as an external remedy for ulcers and eye inflammation. During the 19th century, European physicians had noted pulsatilla's use in the treatment of melancholy, swelling of the knees, and nervous system disorders.

Applications:
1. For treating dysentery with bloody stools due to toxic heat:

This herb can be used alone or in combination with Chinese goldthread rhizome (Rhizoma Coptidis), cork tree bark (Cortex Phellodendri) and ash bark (Cortex Fraxini), e.g., Baitouweng Tang. In recent years, it has produced good results in the treatment of bacillary dysentery and amoebic dysentery.



2. For treating vaginal itching and malaria:

A) Vaginal itching (trichomonal vaginitis):

This herb is decocted together with ash bark (Cortex Fraxini) for external washing.

(B) Malaria:

It is used with Chinese thorowax root (Radix Bupleuri), skullcap root (Radix Scutellariae) and betel nuts.

Dosage and Administration:
6-15 g.

Decoct the ingredients for drinking. Use an adequate amount externally.

Cautions on Use:
This herb should be avoided by anyone who suffers from diarrhea due to cold of the insufficiency type.

When chewed, a caustic substance contained in the plant burns the tongue and throat. When applied topically, it may cause blisters on the skin.

Reference Materials:
Shen Nong's Herbal Classic : "To treat pyrexial malaria, mania, chills and fever, masses in the abdomen, goiter, etc."

"Eliminating blood stasis, killing pain and healing incised wounds."

On Drug Properties : "Abdominal pain, dysentery with bloody stools, toothache, ... general arthralgia."

Toxic or Side Effects:

Modern Researches:
The plant contains lactones protoanemonin, saponins, anemone camphor, tannins, and a volatile oil. It is antispasmodic and antibacterial and acts on the nervous system.



The fresh herb is a cardiac and nervous sedative, producing a hypnotic state with a diminution of the senses followed by a paralizing action.

A constituent similar to digitalis can be extracted from the whole herb with the roots removed. This is cardiotonic.

The Chinese pulsatilla root has clear antimicrobial effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pyocyaneus, Bacillus subtilis and salmonella. Its decoction and the saponin contained therein can resist amoebae to a marked degree. This herb has notable results in killing Trichomonas vaginalis. It also has a mild inhibitory effect on influenza virus.

The root is anodyne, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, astringent and sedative. The root is an effective cure for bacterial and amoebic dysentery. It is also used in the treatment of malaria, epistaxis and haemorrhoids and is used externally to treat trichomonas vaginitis.]]> Latin:

Provide cooling Yin to the Heart, Lungs and Stomach, to promote production of body fluids, to clear heat in the heart and relieve irritability, to relieve dry cough, dry mouth and tongue, and to moisten the bowels



Qualities
This herb is very similar in its actions to wild Asparagus root, a close relative. It is primarily used as a Yin tonic, and especially as a Yin tonic to the heart and lung. It is excellent for moistening any dryness in the body. Being a cold herb, it can cool down hot symptoms and relieve Yin deficiency conditions such as Yin-deficiency insomnia and irritability, especially when blended with herbs such as fresh Rehmannia, Asparagus root and Coptis.

It is a great herb for people who experience hot, dry lungs. Smokers and people exposed to smoke, smog, desert heat and dust will benefit from a daily dose of this herb. Singers and public speakers will find that Ophiopogon moistens the throat and vocal cords, improving vocal quality. It helps relieve sticky sputum For dry throat and lungs, Ophiopogon can be combined with herbs such as Fritillaria, Asparagus root, Glehnia and fresh Rehmannia.

When blended with Dong Gui and Cistanche, Ophiopogon is very useful for relieving dry-type constipation.

The Taoists perceived an even deeper level of purpose for consuming the this herb. They considered Ophiopogon a major Shen tonic herb. Like Asparagus root, it was considered extremely valuable for mastering one's own heart. It is found in a wide number of Taoist formulas. By cooling down the heat in the heart it helps to steady the emotions and control the mind. Combine with major Shen developing tonics such as wild Ginseng, Ganoderma, and Asparagus root, etc.

Ophiopogon root is an ingredient in an extremely popular tonic preparation called Formula for Restoring Pulse Beating, which consists of relatively equal parts of Panax Ginseng, Ophiopogon root and Schizandra fruit. This formula is famous for quickly rebuilding energy in those that have experienced trauma or surgery and for those recovering from illness.



Primary Combinations
Combine with:

1. Glehnia root, Asparagus root, Raw Rehmannia to tonify Lung yin
2. Glehnia root, Asparagus root, Raw Rehmannia and Fritillary bulb to treat dry cough due to Lung yin deficiency
3. Raw Rehmannia, Zizyphus seed and Coptis to treat irritability and insomnia due to pathogenic heat entering the heart

Varieties and Grading
Most Ophiopogon available in Asia is of similar quality. But fresher Ophiopogon, which is gummier and more pliable is better than stiff, hard, dry tubers.

Use moderately in cases of cold, deficient Spleen resulting in diarrhea.]]> Ophiopogon Root

Not long after this, Tsze-khî sent off Khwan to go to Yen, when he was made prisoner by some robbers on the way. It would have been difficult to sell him if he were whole and entire, and they thought their easiest plan was to cut off (one of his) feet first. They did so, and sold him in Khî, where he became Inspector of roads for a Mr. Khû. Nevertheless he had flesh to eat till he died.

And I am all alone and my tears fall down.

念天地之悠悠， 独怆然而涕下。
