Today I share with you a plant unique to our southern region, and it is also a common type of wild grass in rural areas in southern China. Friends who live in rural areas in southern China have basically seen it. It has a very good scientific name called Golden Waist Arrow.
Speaking of the golden waist arrow, I believe that friends in the south are familiar with it. It grows on the roadside, wilderness, cultivated land, houses, etc. everywhere, distributed in various provinces and regions in the southeast to the southwest of my country. It is a plant unique to the south.
Golden Waist is an annual upright herb of the Asteraceae family. It is not tall, about 70 cm tall, but its leaves are larger and broad-ovate, with rough hairs on both sides. The color is green and turquoise, and it looks very similar to the famous stinky grass in the countryside, and most people can't tell it at all.
The golden waist arrow has a strong reproductive ability. As long as there is enough soil moisture, it can sprout, grow, bloom and bear fruit quickly, and it is everywhere in the countryside. It also often endangers the growth and harvest of crops, which is an absolute harmful weed for farmers.

It can be used as medicine and has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, dispersing blood stasis and reducing swelling. It has certain therapeutic effects on colds, fever, cough, sore throat, eczema, , boils, carbuncles, rashes, bruises and other diseases.

Picking its tender leaves and mashing them on the affected area will have a good effect on external bleeding, bruising and damage, skin itching, eczema, etc., and is a commonly used external medicine for skin use in the folk.
The author is also a native rural person and grew up in the southern region, so he is quite familiar with this kind of golden-waisted arrow. He often used it when he was a child. I remember that he used it every time he had a cold or fever when he was a child. Because it tastes bitter, he still remembers it freshly. However, the so-called " good medicine is good for the disease " is very reasonable.
