《咏牡丹》 宋朝 王溥
Jujube flowers can become solid until small, and mulberry leaves are soft and spit silk.
The laughing peony is like a big fight, and it is empty branches if it is not a thing.
This song "Yong Peony" first takes jujube mulberry as an example: although the jujube flowers are small, there are dates that are sweet and crunchy after autumn; Mulberry leaves are very weak and can raise silkworm knots, and the beautiful ayara is produced from mulberry leaves. Compared to mulberry leaves, peonies are illusory external beauty with no practical value. It shows that from ancient times to the present, mulberry leaves have also been recognized and loved by people.
Mulberry leaves are named iron fans because of their "blue-black color, and the sound of iron tools blown by the wind". Clinical prescription is mostly winter mulberry leaves or cream mulberry leaves. The mainland is based on agricultural mulberry and is the birthplace of the world's sericulture industry. The "Shennong Materia Medica" attaches mulberry leaves under the white skin of mulberry root, saying that it can "mainly remove cold and heat and sweat", which more accurately records the important application of this product. Let's talk about mulberry leaves today.

toxicity
Mulberry leaves are poisonous and non-toxic, and ancient herbs coexist. For example, "Xinxiu Materia Medica" believes that mulberry leaves "taste bitter, sweet, cold, and have a small poison". This theory is followed by a small number of Materia Medica. For example, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" said that it "has a small poison".
Those who think that it is non-toxic, such as "Rihuazi Materia Medica", said: "Mulberry leaves, warm and non-toxic." The "non-toxic" theory is accepted by most medical scientists. Not only that, but the "Tujing Materia Medica" says that "mulberry leaves can be often served". It also contains "Immortal Serving Formula: Pick the leaves when the mulberry is in full bloom in April, and after the October frost, when the third and two points have fallen, one point is in the place, the name of the fairy leaves, that is, take, dry with the front leaves, pound the pill and take it loosely, or fry it to replace the tea drink." "Mulberry leaves have become commonly used in ancient health and longevity recipes.
In modern clinical practice, mulberry leaves are also commonly used. However, so far, there have been no reports of poisoning caused by mulberry leaves, and toxicology-related studies have not seen its toxic reactions. Therefore, from the above facts, we can conclude that mulberry leaves are safe and non-toxic when applied in common amounts. Relative to other Chinese medicines of the same kind, it should be non-toxic.
