Today, I would like to introduce you to this very common yin grass in the countryside. I don't know if you have seen it?
Yin Xingcao may be strange to many people, but there is also a name called Liu Jinu. If you understand history, you should know that Liu Jinu was the nickname of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Weed can be called by such a name, it can really be said to be very domineering. It is widely distributed in many parts of the continent. This may be all too common to ignore.
The scientific name of Yin Xingcao is Liu Jinnu, and the aliases are Jin Jinnu, Wu Teng Cai, Jiuli Guang, Bai Huawei, Thousand Grains of Rice, Spotted Jujube and so on. It is the whole grass of artemisia of Asteraceae, which is mainly produced in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places. It is a perennial herb with an aromatic plant. The main root is slightly more pronounced, and the lateral root is more; Rhizomes are short, often creeping stems, and have vegetative branches. Stems are solitary or minority, with longitudinal edges, upper-middle branches, branches, obliquely upward towards the stem; The stems and branches are slightly short at the beginning.
In July and August, the tree-lined grasses bloom, most of which are yellow, a bit like sesame flowers, so in some places they are also called sesame stalks.
Although yin grass is very common, do not underestimate yin grass. Yinxing herb can be used as a medicinal herb.
Because many weeds contain trace amounts of toxins, be careful before use. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not blindly use yinxing grass.
