According to the compendium, although orchid and Eupatorium are of the same kind, they have different functions, just as red white and peony are different in reinforcing and reducing. Xunzi also says that the Qi of Eupatorium and Eupatorium is fragrant and can pass through the lung. "

② "The classic of Materia Medica" says: "Eupatorium adenophorum, bitter can release heat, sweet can harmonize blood, acid can enter liver, warm can activate blood. If it is supplemented with the medicine of benefiting spleen and soil, and if it is made by Fangji, it will lead to edema in the abdomen, edema in the body and limbs, and moisture in the joints.

③ "Materia medica tongxuan": "Eupatorium odoratum, fragrant and pleasant to the spleen, can quicken the Qi, dredge the liver, can circulate blood, is popular in Yingwei, and can smooth the skin and orifices, so it is a medicine for women. "

④ "Ben Jing Feng Yuan": "Eupatorium Eupatorium, specializes in postpartum blood failure, flow to waist and thigh, cramp pain, rupture of blood, elimination of Bai Huang, in addition to edema, swelling of the body, face and limbs. "This classic" is mainly used for the treatment of ulcers, carbuncles, abscesses and pus. It is an important medicine for obstetrics. It is more effective than Yimu in the treatment of Xionggui and Tongbian. "

⑤ "Seeking truth from Materia Medica" says: "although the book contains the wonderful idea of harmonizing the blood, relaxing the spleen and nourishing the muscles, it is the taste of entering the spleen to flow water and the liver to treat the blood. The nine orifices can be connected, the joints can be improved, the food can be broken, and the menstruation can be adjusted. Baihuang can be eliminated, edema can be dispersed, postpartum blood drenching and lumbago can be stopped, hematemesis, hematemesis, eye pain, wind paralysis, carbuncle poison and flapping injury can be treated. It is said in the book that the spleen and blood are soothed. However, it is not true that the taste of spleen and blood is soothed because of the meaning of eliminating blood by water. If the taste of Invigorating Qi and blood is added together, the essence of spleen and blood will not be damaged. "

⑥ "Materia medica justice": "Eupatorium adenophorum, beside the wet daze, is similar to orchid, so its indications are quite similar. In this classic, the abdomen is edematous, the body and limbs are swollen, and the joints are filled with water. All of them are bitter, warm and damp, which is also the meaning of orchid grass and water channel. The treatment of gold sores, carbuncles, abscesses, purulents, purulents, and purulents, especially into the blood and line stasis discharge, detumescence is also. However, the so-called "internal bleeding of lactating women" in this classic is quite unexplainable, which means that the new generation of later generations has the meaning of dredging blood stasis. The internal obstruction in bielu should also be explained by the obstruction of blood stasis and dew. Zhen Quan said that the treatment of postpartum abdominal pain, solid bitter warm blood stasis, also called the treatment of frequent blood gas failure cold, into thin and lean, women bleeding low back pain, with mild can benefit the blood. However, if the goods of Tongli can go, they may not be able to keep them. Therefore, it should be against the will, and we can see that it is not a medicine for long time. "
