Duscuta chinensis , also known as Zenzhen, Do bean parasitic Chicken blood vine, Golden Silk vine, etc., is a Chinese medicinal material that can nourish the kidney, liver, and spleen.

After the suction root enters the host tissue, some of the tissues are differentiated into catheter and sieve tube , which are connected to the host's catheter and sieve tube, respectively, and absorb nutrients and water from the host.

"Bencao Chengya Ban Ji"

nuclear said: Out of the fields of Sichuan and Ze, Korea. There are also recent Taos, and those who have wronged sentences are the victory. Seedlings grow in summer, like thin filaments, cannot rise on the ground. If you get other plants and trees, they will tangle upwards, and their roots will gradually fade from the ground and parasitize in the air. There are no leaves and flowers, white and slightly red, and the fragrance is also rising. It is as strong as a bean and fine as a bean, slightly yellow in color, and will be dark and brown in the long run. Do not use Tianbi grass. Its shape is similar, but the taste is sour and astringent, and sticky to your hands. Repair, remove the shells, soak them in bitter wine for a night. Take it out and soak it in Polygonatum juice for a night. Until dawn, fry and roast and dry. Enter the mortar and heat the iron pestle, and the pestle becomes powder.

ginseng says: Tu is from the rabbit, and his nature is similar. Surrender the moon soul to live forever. Yin is the body of Yang; Yin is the use of Yang. "Er Ya" says: Meng Duscuta in the Tang Dynasty, Duscuta, and the note says, "There are four names," which is called one thing. "Guangya" says: female roe , pine roe is also. Cuscuta is Cuscuta. Then there are two names in one thing. In the seventh month of Guiyou, passing by the smoke and clouds, looking at the trees, there are those who are like red nets cages; some are like blue silk coverings; and some are among the blue and red. I heard the old man from the mountain saying: Red net is dodder, and green hair is female radish. I remember the ancient Yuefu saying "The flowers of the south mountain are mi and the green female radish tree in the north mountain are" which is the case. The blue and red intersects are the interaction between Luotu. The Tang Yuefu said that Doutu is ruthless and is inverted by the wind. Whoever makes the girl Luotu branch come to hug her? But female radish vines are slender and without any mixed vines, so the song " Mountain Ghost " says: I am led by female radish. Words are like belts, and they are like dodders, and they are spinning silk in early summer. They cannot boot up and fall with the wind. Those who linger on the grass will not last long. If they are beside pine and cypress, and other trees, they will spread four times, like longitude and latitude, roots or zodiac signs, and they will also be parasitized in the sky, with light weight and light weight, and will not damage the elites of the tree. Instead, if they get it, the flowers and leaves will be more abundant than before. It is made of flowers in late summer, red without leaves, and it is also strong. In fact, it may be between trees, and the next year it will be followed by silk spinning, and it will not lead down. Lei Gong said that he could obtain the nature of the central and harmonious energy by condensing the qi of the yang. " Internal Classic " says: Yang is the inscription of the external yin; Yin is the inscription of the internal yang. The only opportunity for mutual interaction is rabbit silk . If there is no yin inside, how can a tiny thing be able to receive qi and be reborn? It is truly a link between yin and yang inside and outside, so it is responsible for insufficient qi of yin and yang, which can prevent damage and invigorate qi, so that the muscles are the same and become fat and healthy. "Bielu" focuses on strengthening yin, which means that yang has no inner guard. "Jufang" means that the true yin is not solid, and this means that there is no external use of Yin.It also means that the heart and kidney do not intersect , and is accompanied by Poria and lotus root. It means that although Cuscuta has the function of internal and external upper and lower, the specialty of the essence is that the outside and upper are close to each other. For Poria cocos, the essence of the body is cyclone on the heel, and the inner part is close to each other. If you use the Kan of the lotus and fill the empty position in Li, you will have your own support in the inside and outside, up and down, and in the middle. It is accompanied by Scarborvus, which secretly eliminates acne poison. The prescription is Xuantu. Acne is the poison of the fetus, which contains the ultimate yin. It relies on the mysterious end of the Scarborvus, and it can break the clues from the middle of the yin of the Scarborvus, interacts with the Yin outside the Yang of the Scarborvus, silently transforms and nourishes each other, and guards the Yin inside, and does not expect it to be purified and purified. The yang outside will not rise lightly but rise lightly. It only needs inside and outside and up and down, and there is no need to be a key from it. It is like the magnetic red color meeting the heart and kidneys, which is the internal and external mechanism of upper and middle and lower. The red fire is on the top and the magnet is on the water. It is not the pivot of the divine song in the middle, and the upper and lower parts cannot communicate. Qu is the wheat from the liver valley, but the wood is floating when it gets water, and the liver is sinking. First, use half-life quiver, and then assist the water from below. It also uses half-cooked quiver, which floats more and more, and the liver is boiled and floats, and it still follows the wood aspect. However, the interaction between the upper and lower levels is all based on the center's mutual assistance. Therefore, each has its own specialties between the upper and lower levels and the middle levels. Only by thinking carefully and meticulously, one pushes ten, ten pushes hundred ears. Most of the disease causes are not separated from rising and falling, and rising and falling are not separated from the upper and lower levels, and up and down do not leave the yin and yang, and yin and yang do not leave the inside and outside. Although their names are different, they will eventually become one. The meridian says that yin is guarded by yang, and yang is used to facilitate the origin of yin and yang, and then it will end in one word.
