Biota Leaf
Traditional Uses
Cools blood, controls bleeding, for Hemoptysis, epistaxis, dysentery, hematuria, functional bleeding, arthralgia due to wind-damp
Scientific Research
(1)Hemostatic purpose: Experiments prove that the herb shortens bleeding time and quickens blood clotting.
(2) Antibacterial purpose: In vitro it inhibits Diplococcus lanceolatus capsulatus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, and dysentery bacteria. The ethanol extract inhibits pneumonia bacteria.
(3) Antitussive purpose: Experiments show that oral ingestion of the herb inhibits coughing.
Biota Seed
Traditional Uses
Tranquilizes the heart, calms the spirit, moistens intestines, promotes bowel movement, controls diaphoresis, for Rapid heart palpitation, insomnia, involuntary emission, hyper-hydrosis due to debility, amnesia, constipation
Scientific Research
The fatty oil possesses a laxative action.
Bitter Ginseng Root
Traditional Uses
Dispels heat, dries dampness, expels wind, kills intestinal parasites, for Dysentery, hematochezia, jaundice, edema, dysuria, rash, scabies, eczema due to dampness, pruritis

(1) Diuretic and antipyretic purpose: Animal studies show it has these properties.
(2) Antifungal purpose: The 8% extract inhibits proliferation of various dermatophytes.
(3) Other purposes: Matrine and oxymatrine prevent the formation of ulcers. Matrine when injected subcutaneously into rabbits produces central nervous system inhibition, intense convulsions, repiratory paralysis, and ultimately death.
Bletilla Tuber
Traditional Uses
Nourishes the lungs, controls bleeding, promotes tissue, resolves phlegm, eliminates ulcers, for Hemoptysis due to impairment of the lungs, epistaxis, hematemesis; (external use) carbuncle, burn wounds, dermal laceration
Scientific Research
(1) Hemostatic purpose: The mucilage content possesses hemostatic and antionco-tic actions; its hemostatic action is probably due to its ability to agglutinate blood cells forming thrombi.
(2) Antibacterial purpose: In vitro it inhibits gram-positive bacteria and Mycobac-terium tuberculosis.
(3) Antifungal purpose: It inhibits "white scabies".
Bupleurum Root
Traditional Uses
Revolves surface, disperses heat, dissolves liver congestion, disperses stagnancy, raises yang chíi, for Alternating episodes of chills and fever, jaundice, fullness and pain in the chest, bitter taste in the mouth, deafness, dizziness, vomiting, malaria
Scientific Research
(1) Antipyretic purpose: The extract when given orally to artificially-induced fever in rabbits exerts a notable hypothermic purpose. It also to some extent relieves fever induced by TTG (a polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens). However, it is still doubtful whether it can relieve fever induced by malaria.
(2) Anti-hepatosis purpose: The extract has a moderate to extreme purpose on hepatosis induced by typhoid vaccines, alcohol, or organic phosphates. It is not purposeive against hepatosis induced by tetraethylenechloride or carbon tetrachloride when given orally.
(3) Tranquilizing and analgesic purposes: The crude saikosides given orally to mice produce a tranquilizing purpose by prolonging the sleeping time induced by hexa-barbital; it also has a moderate analgesic purpose and strong antitussive purpose.
(4) Antibacterial purpose: In vitro, it inhibits the growth of Bacillus tuberculosis.
(5) Antiviral purpose: In vitro, it shows a strong inhibitory purpose on the proliferation of influenza virus.
(6) Antiphlogistic purpose: The crude saponin when given orally shows an anti-inflammatory purpose and inhibits dextran and granuloma-induced edema by the granuloma pouch method. However, it shows no notable purpose on edema induced by carrageenin, acetic acid, and arthritis, and it also has no protective purpose against histamine shock and anaphylactic shock.
Chinese Date
Traditional Uses
Supplements and tonifies spleen and stomach, moistens heart and lungs, nourishes and pacifies spirit, smooths herbal action, harmonizes all drugs
Scientific Research
(1) Antiallergic purpose: It has this action because of the presence of cyclic AMP in its aqueous extract.
(2) Antiulcer purpose: In stress ulcer experiments, the ethanol extract has been determined to have antiulcer. activity.
Cinnamon Bark
Traditional Uses
Reinforces vital yang, warms the spleen and stomach, dispels accumulated chill, and invigorates blood vessels, for Deficient renal function, limb chill and feeble pulse, debilitation and collapse of yang, ahdominal pain and diarrhea, chilling pain of the waist and knees, amenorrhea. wandering abscess, fever in the upper and cold in the lower parts of the body.
Scientific Research
(1) Stimulation of the circulation: It dilates blood vessels, thus promoting blood circulation. It also possesses diaphoretic action. Because of its ability to improve circulation, it can enhance the purposes of other herbs. Experience indicates that cinnamon bark can be used as a guide to enable other herbs to reach where they could not otherwise.
(2) Stomachic purpose: The essential oil stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, promoting digestion and absorption. It also alleviates pain due to gastrointestinal spasms, eliminates gas in the digestive tract, and inhibits abnormal fermentation processes in the intestines.
(3) Antifungal purpose: In vitro it inhibits various pathogenic fungi.
Citrus Peel
Traditional Uses
Disperses stagnant chíi, dissolves phlegm, dissipates fullness, disperses accumulations, for Accumulation and obstruction of phlegm in the chest, chíi formation in epigastrium, swelling and pain in the intestines, food stagnation, indigestion
Scientific Research
(1) Stomachic purpose: In animal studies the extract increased and regulated gastrointestinal activities. In modern-medicine it is used as an aromatic bitter stomachic.
(2) Contraction of the uterus: The extract stimulates rabbit uterus and rabbit extirpated uterus by increasing the tonicity and contraction of the uterine muscle.
(3) Other purposes: The decoction increases blood pressure. At a low dosage, it increases the contraction of extirpated heart; however, at high dosage it decreases heart contraction.
Clematis Root
Traditional Uses
Removes wind-dampness, promotes meridian flow, controls pain, regulates urination, for Rheumatism, gout, pain in the loins, knees and limbs, apoplexy, migraine, edema, mass in the abdomen.
Scientific Research

(2) Antibacterial purpose: The alcohol extract inhibits Bacillus diphtheriae, Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococcus auras, Staphylococcus albus, Bacillus paratyphi, Shigella dysenteriae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(3) Antiviral purpose: It dramatically inhibits epidemic influenza virus.
(4) Antifungal purpose: It inhibits various types of white ringworm.
(5) Tranquilizing purpose: Intraperitoneal injection of the extract produces a sedating action in mice after a few hours.
(6) Adrenalin-antagonizing actions; It inhibits the heartbeat of extirpated frog heart by inhibiting excitatory transmission of the A.V. nodes. Experiments using frog legs indicate it dilates the blood vessels. These purposes are probably due to its adrenalin-antagonizing actions.
(7) Other purposes: The ethanol or aqueous extract stimulates the uterus and its contraction; it also paralyzes roundworms in pigs.
Codonopsis Root
Traditional Uses
Invigorates the spleen and stomach, replenishes chíi, harmonizes spleen and stomach, increases the secretion of fluids, for Splenic and gastric weakness, insufficient chíi, fatigue, Joss of appetite and thirst. Chinese physicians use it as a ginseng substitute.
Scientific Research
(1) Tonifying and stomachic purpose: The herb stimulates the nervous system, increases body resistance, and promotes digestion, absorption, and metabolism.
(2) Hemopoietic purpose: Experiments show that it increases the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin content in rabbits. The hemopoietic actions are thought to be the result of the interaction between tang-shen and the spleen.
(3) Hypotensive purpose: Animal studies show it dilates peripheral blood vessels and inhibits adrenal cortex activity, causing a lowering of blood pressure.
