【Predecessors release medicine】
"New Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Gentian grass is specialized in promoting diuresis, eliminating dampness, and removing jaundice. The rest of the treatment of eyes, stopping diarrhea, reducing swelling, and reducing fever are all generalized. However, this kind of excessive promotion will inevitably consume qi and blood. When water is removed, blood is also removed, and when dampness is eliminated, qi is also eliminated. The initial jaundice of dampness must be used urgently, and the jaundice of dampness for a long time must be used slowly. It cannot be fully relied on as a magic pill for promoting diuresis, eliminating dampness and eliminating heat. Some people say that gentian grass can treat dampness and heat, and it is the most effective for heat diseases, which are dampness and heat diseases. However, when gentian grass is used to treat jaundice, many people are ineffective. Why? Jaundice is not just one kind of dampness and heat. There are people who develop jaundice without heat, which cannot be treated by gentian grass. In particular, gentian grass can purge the heat in dampness, but cannot purge dampness without heat."
"Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Gentian grass is very bitter and cold, and has the same function as Scutellaria baicalensis and Coptis chinensis. However, the "Ben Jing" says that it has a bitter taste, so its function is to stay inside and move things around, so it is the only one that can treat bone heat. It can also clear away the excess fire of the liver and gallbladder, and dredge the damp-heat knot in the lower part of the body, which is enough to do its job. The poison of mold sores and ulcers of malnutrition are all caused by rampant yang fire, and without this kind of bitterness and coldness, it is not enough to quench the flames, so it also has the additional meaning of dredging the lower part of the body."
