The plant withers in summer, but it still doesn't affect everyone's love for it. I believe many people have guessed that this plant is the summer hay known as "scattered grass".
As the name suggests, it gets its name because the summer hay withers as soon as summer comes. Summer hay generally blooms in spring, but in summer it will wither, its withering is only into a state of suspended animation, and when the winter name will regrow young leaves, and so on, it is a weed with very peculiar growth characteristics.
The reason why summer hay is rushed to be planted by everyone is mainly because of its medicinal value, its medicinal whole herb and fruit ear, and the medicinal value of fruit ear is higher, with the effect of reducing swelling and dissipating knots, clearing heat and pouring fire, and detoxifying the eyes, it can be said that the effect is very large.

People who know summer hay often use its flower spikes to make tea and drink, not only can clear the heat and fire, but also have the effect of nourishing the liver and protecting the liver, which is particularly good for female friends, such as women's common breast nodules to find it, so many people in the folk call it "loose knotted grass".
"Materia Medica" says that summer subtilis cures sputum, rat fistula, gall, scabies, cradle carbuncles, and milk rocks. It can be managed from head to toe lumps. Although it has many therapeutic effects, it is always inseparable from the four words of hot liver meridian. This point is also similarly recorded in the "Typhoid Fever, Flat Pulse Law": "The summer moon is hot, and you want to be naked, and the winter moon is cold, and you want to redress."
Xia Kui grass purifies the qi of pure yang, it has the power of dispersion, can disperse knots and reduce swelling, Chinese medicine believes that where the knot is dispersed, how to spread the knot? Where all kinds of lumps and lumps, the sin will be dispersed, that is to say, the summer hay can dissipate the firmness and dredge the stagnation with its gentle qi.

Summer hay bitter drainage hard to disperse cold clearing, clear and nourish both, specialize in the liver meridian, the main clear liver fire, disperse depression, and nourish blood and flat liver, where liver fire, impotence and phlegm tuberculosis stagnation and other diseases can be selected. The essential medicine for clearing the liver and brightening the eyes, especially good at curing blood deficiency and liver fever.
Summer hay grows in three spring, and the qi of water and wood is the most complete, because the wood is used as a fire order, this wood happens to be used as a fire order in summer, and as a result, it withers in summer, so summer hay can retreat from the fire of the liver and gallbladder meridian. This is the biggest feature of summer grass, which is beyond the reach of other heat-relieving gunpowder.
While dissipating knots and reducing swelling, it can also clear heat and poison and reduce the fire of depression. In this way, on the one hand, it disperses the qi of depression and on the other hand, it dispels the fire of depression, so this summer hay can treat all kinds of lumps and lumps.
