The sun is shining, and it is a good time to go out for an outing. Walking on the small road in the country, you can see the flowers, plants and trees in green clothes in the fields and forests, which is very intoxicating. This scene reminds me of Lu You's writing of a poem. "Weng's family is placed in the scenic spot of the lake and mountain, and the wild path is slanted in the shade of pagoda tree and willow". Walking on the side of the road, I found a small grass, which caught my attention, so I took out my mobile phone and took a few photos and came back. After checking the information, it turned out to be Xihuang grass. Although it is a small grass, it has great effects and efficacy. The following editor will introduce to you the "Xiaohuangcao", what is the use?

Xihuangcao is also known as bear bile grass, goat noodles, blood wind grass, yellow juice grass, Xigou grass, fragrant tea vegetables, etc. It is a perennial herb, and Xihuangcao is a folk herbal medicine, commonly known as Scutellaria chinensis. Its rhizome is hypertrophy, strong, sometimes lumpy, and densely grows slender fibrous roots downward. The lower part often creeps and takes root, and has bulbous roots, square columnar stems, opposite leaves, circular serrations on the edges, short hairs on both sides, ovoid or broad ovoid, and yellow sap when rubbed. Wild bromegrass grows in the wetlands of valleys, fields near villages, ditches, or damp places in forests. Distributed in Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places. It is planted in Yangshan, Raoping, Chaozhou and other cities and counties in Guangdong Province.

Medicinal value of Xihuang herb: bitter, sweet and slightly astringent, slightly sweet in the mouth, mild in nature, non-toxic. Xihuangcao is a common Chinese herbal medicine. The whole herb can be used as medicine.

It can also be directly crushed and applied to the affected area for external use, and the swelling effect is obvious.

In addition, it is even better to use Xihuangcao crucian carp soup. Here is a simple method, the method: remove the internal organs of the crucian carp and clean it, pick and wash the Xihuangcao. Add enough water to boil the sand, put oil in the frying pan, fry ginger for a while, then put the crucian carp in the pan and fry until golden on both sides. After the water in the casserole boils, add the fried fish and boil over high heat, cook for about 20 minutes, then add the cleaned broccoli, continue to cook for 10 minutes, add salt and a little oyster sauce to enhance the taste, and it’s ready. A delicious Xihuang grass crucian carp soup is enough. Efficacy: clearing heat and dampness, nourishing and moistening.

Although Xihuangcao is a weed with the same medicine and food, all medicines are three-point poisonous. If you need to use medicine, you must use it under the advice and instructions of a doctor, so that it can have a better effect. In fact, there are many wild flowers and weeds in the countryside that are full of treasures and have high value as herbs. I don’t know if my friends living in the countryside have seen this kind of brook yellow grass? If it grows behind your house, don't be a weed, it will have a great effect at critical moments.
