Most of the good medicines have some legends and stories, and the duck plant is naturally no exception, and today the little master and disciple will share with you the stories I know.
One evening, the traveling doctor came to a family to settle down, and after the owner heard that the traveling doctor was home and benefited the people, he readily agreed and warmly welcomed the traveling doctor. After the meal, everyone was chilling in the courtyard, and when the doctor saw the children sitting on the stone benches after exposure to the sun, they stopped them, and the children jumped and chased and played in the yard.
At night, the traveling doctor put down his book and was preparing to rest, but he heard the voice of his master: "Doctor, have you slept?" The voice sounded a little anxious. The doctor got up and invited the owner in, only to learn that the children had been bloated and could not urinate since nightfall. The traveling doctor remembered that the children had been sitting on the stone bench to play in the evening, considering that they were sitting on a hot stone bench, which hurt people and blocked the bladder passage.
He asked his master to take the lamp to the pond in front of the door and collect some wild grass from the edge of the pond to boil water for the children to drink. After drinking it, the children couldn't wait to urinate in the bedroom for a long time, and everyone present laughed. Later, the traveling doctor told them that the grass they picked was the Chinese medicine duck plant, which can clear heat, detoxify, and reduce swelling. After that, the news that duck plants can cure urinary closure spread in this village.
