Introduction: A common weed in rural areas, also known as "Blood Sees Sorrow", but many people don't know it
In the wild in the countryside, there are many types of plants. There are many weeds that seem to be inconspicuous, but they are actually very good Chinese herbal medicines. Some are known to everyone and widely used after excavation, while others are often removed as weeds. Today, let's talk about a common weed in rural areas. The distribution area is extremely wide, the wild ability is super strong, and it can grow well in arid and barren places. It looks very similar to the well-known purslane, but it is obviously one size smaller than the purslane.
This kind of weed that looks like purslane is very common in the corners, corners, and ditches and ridges of rural areas. In the past, villagers worked in the fields and were scratched and injured a little. They found this weed and smashed it into pieces. After applying it, it will stop the bleeding immediately. Because of its remarkable effect of stopping bleeding, it is also called by the villagers: "Blood Sees Sorrow". It is a weed that can be easily found. Although it looks very similar to purslane, It's not really purslane, but the scientific name is called Dijincao. The difference between Dijincao and Purslane is that purslane grows in clusters, Dijincao grows on the ground, and when Dijincao is broken, it will flow out milky white. Juice, this juice has a very good hemostatic effect.
Dijin grass is called lying single grass in the author's place, and it is also called small sparrow lying single. The old man in the village said that sparrows like to use the juice of this grass to feed the little sparrows. This juice is as valuable as milk. Children hear this statement , will naturally break the broccoli to suck the juice inside. After eating it, you will understand: I am fooled, this milky white juice is not sweet at all, it is not only bitter but also has an indescribable taste, absolutely not Eat it as milk. But there are still children who can't resist the temptation of this milky white juice, and will give up after tasting it from time to time.
Dijincao is a plant of the Euphorbiaceae, Dijinga and Bandijin. It is strong in nature. Different from other Euphorbiaceae plants, Dijincao has a short creeping plant, and as an herb, it is similar to other Euphorbiaceae plants. It is very small in comparison, but it has the common characteristic of Euphorbiaceae, that is, the plant is rich in milky white sap, and it is a wild grass with a wide distribution area. Few people collect it specially for the grass. After it is found in the farmland , it should also be removed as a harmful weed. Even if it is seen, it will be pulled up, but it is still unstoppable. This weed is the most common in the wild.
Dijincao is also used as donkey-hide gelatin in rural areas, and some will be dried in the sun to make tea, but after all, it is a three-point poisonous medicine. For this kind of Dijincao, it is better not to use it indiscriminately. In some places it is also called ant grass. The sticky white sap in the stems and leaves of Dijinca is squeezed around the ant nest by children, which is strange. Surrounded by the sap of the broccoli, it actually became motionless and very well-behaved, so this weed was called ant grass.
