 "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Dipsacus is a medicine for replenishing blood vessels. Generally speaking, blood vessels that are broken cannot be replenished without this, injured tendons and bones cannot be nourished without this, joints that are blocked cannot be damaged without this, and pregnancy that is damaged cannot be disturbed without this. Taking it regularly for a long time can increase energy and strength, and has the effect of replenishing injuries and generating blood. It replenishes without stagnation, and promotes blood circulation without causing leakage. Therefore, it is often used in gynecology and surgery."

Its bitter and heavy taste can enter the blood, regulate blood vessels, reduce swelling and poison, breast abscess, scrofula, hemorrhoids, treat metal damage and falls, and repair tendons, bones and blood vessels; its astringent taste can treat vomiting blood, epistaxis, metrorrhagia, fetal leakage, blood in the stool, hematuria, regulate bloody dysentery, reduce urination, and stop spermatorrhea. It is especially effective when supplemented with sweet herbs, such as licorice, rehmannia, ginseng, and yam."
 "Pharmaceutical Chemistry": "Dipsacus asper, bitter nourishes blood vessels, pungent nourishes skin and fur, is good at regulating blood vessel damage, and connects broken tendons and bones, so it is called Dipsacus asper. It can eliminate breast abscesses and scrofula externally, and clear hemorrhoids and intestinal redness internally. It is the most reliable for its mild aroma and clear taste, and can regulate menstruation and pregnancy. Moreover, bitterness can strengthen the kidneys, and pungentness can moisten the kidneys.

 "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Dipsacus is the best medicine for dredging qi, blood, tendons and bones. However, it is highly contraindicated for symptoms such as loss of semen, fetal movement, hematuria and blood loss due to its weak qi, as it is of low sexual nature. Its efficacy is equal to that of Rehmannia, Achyranthes bidentata, Eucommia ulmoides and Morinda officinalis, but it has a subtle difference in warming and nourishing properties, which should be known."
 "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Xiusuan, which can circulate through all meridians, can heal broken bones and regulate qi and blood. "Ben Jing" says that it can cure colds and replenish deficiencies, and it emphasizes its function of regulating meridians. However, the word "cold" in "cold colds" is hard to understand, and it should be "zhong". However, the old editions all use "cold colds", but Shi Wan's "Feng Yuan" actually uses "shangzhong". This is probably also Shi Wan's change, and it is not necessarily the case that the old edition he saw used "shangzhong". It can treat wounds, carbuncles, ulcers, relieve pain and regenerate muscles, as well as fractures and wrist injuries, bad blood, heal tendons and bones, and treat low back pain, joint tension and other symptoms. All of them have the effect of activating blood circulation and unblocking meridians. If women have difficulty in breastfeeding, it is said that it is during breastfeeding. Even postpartum diseases, Xuduan can promote blood circulation and can It can regulate blood. Therefore, it can treat postpartum and metrorrhagia." Also: "Dipsacus has a mild qi and a thick flavor, so it can enter the qi and blood, promote circulation of all meridians, and open up the joints. It can treat all diseases of the meridians, tendons, bones, and blood vessels, and it is particularly good at relieving numbness and atrophy. It tastes bitter and astringent, and can move and stop.
