Hello everyone, I'm nutritionist He Haizhen. The author is a native of the countryside and a lover of Chinese herbal medicine. Follow me and share with you all kinds of wild grasses common in the countryside every day to learn more about herbal medicine.
Today, the author shares this weed, although it grows extremely small, and it is as small as a toothache, but it is not an ordinary weed, and its value is extremely precious, comparable to gold. Presumably, many friends in the countryside have guessed that this wild grass is the stilted gold, which is known as the "golden grass".
As soon as the name suggests, it has only one stem standing upright, and it grows extremely small, like a toothpick, and its roots are without fibrous roots, like a one-legged root. Since strigophine is a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine, the value is comparable to gold, and this is how strigoin got its name.
There are many aliases for stilted gold, because it has yellow flowers, so it is called "yellow flower", and because it is a good medicine for children's chancre commonly used in folk, so there is another name for chancre grass and children's grass in the folk. In addition, the chancre, the same foot grass, the chancre grass, the brilliant grass, etc. are its aliases.
Strigophyllum is an annual semi-parasitic herbaceous plant of the family Scrophulariae, which generally grows on arid slopes and barren mountain grasslands, and sometimes can be seen in crops, field edges, cultivated fields, valleys, etc. It is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces and regions in the mainland.
The height of the strigophic plant is generally about 8 to 15 cm, and the stem is erect and small, like the size of a toothpick, but the stem is arranged with sparse spike-like inflorescences, this unique shape looks like a small key, so many areas are also called "golden keys".
The leaves of the strigophic gold are also very distinctive, the lower part is opposite, while the upper part is the leaves are alternate, and there is no petiole, directly connected to the stem, and every year the leaves are covered with many small hairs, which are fluffy to the touch, and are particularly comfortable.
Speaking of this stilted gold, for friends living in the countryside are known, although it grows short and thin and inconspicuous, but the shape is peculiar, and it is also a common medicine for the people, many people have eaten it when they were young, it is a must to stew lean meat, remove the scroquet and grow fast, and it is a commonly used herbal medicine for children.
Although the one-legged gold is not tall, its value is like "gold", because its excellent value has always played a great role in the people. It used to grow everywhere on the meadows on the hillsides, but due to the excessive number of people digging and the destruction of the environment, this wild strigot is becoming less and less common.
The medicinal effect of strigotamine is mainly a good medicine for children's chancre, and it also has the effect of clearing heat and diuresis, flattening the liver and dissipating accumulation, and has certain curative effects on cough, pediatric high fever, jaundice, hepatitis, diarrhea, unfavorable urination, dysentery, heat stroke, itchy throat, loss of appetite, carbuncle swelling and sores, eczema and other diseases.
I didn't expect this little stilt to have so many effects. The author has known it since I was a child, and the elders in the family often used stilted lean meat for me to drink. Because the stilt gold is so precious, to this day, many people are still looking for it, but unfortunately it is rare.
Dear friends, is there such a one-legged gold in your hometown? It is the "chancre grass" in the mouth of the old people, which is found on the hillside, as small as a toothpick, but as valuable as "gold", and is difficult to find now. If you meet it in your hometown, it is a blessing.
