It is bitter, but not drying, so it directs downward; it is salty, and can thus enter the blood, and also cold, enabling it to clear heat. These actions are performed without injuring the yin or blood. And because blood-level heat is cleared, the yin and blood are protected by this herb, which is equivalent to replenishing these substances. It cools both the heat of yin deficiency as well as that due to pathogenic excess, venting the pathogenic influence toward the surface where it is released. This is useful in such cases as prolonged low-grade fever due to a residual pathogenic influence in the later stages of a febrile disorder: heat in the blood is cooled directly and also by venting. This herb cools the Lungs and facilitates the passage of urine, enabling it to treat painful urinary dribbling in which the urine is scanty and burning. Its functions in treating urinary disorders and sores are of secondary importance, however. Heat from deficiency following childbirth, painful urinary dribbling with blood in the urine, early periods due to heat in the blood - all these conditions are appropriately treated with this herb. It also can be used for cough due to Lung heat, especially if associated with a low-grade fever. -- Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cynanchi root, Swallowwort Root\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bai Wei\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e bitter, salty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e cold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels Entered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lung, Stomach, Kidney\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cools the blood and reduces heat from deficiency without injuring the yin fluids or blood, vents pathogens, facilitates urination.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat from deficiency;Toxic sores\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yin-deficient fever;Persistent summertime fever in children;postpartum fever;Lingering fever as the sequela of a warm-heat pathogen disease that injures the blood or yin; Hot or painful bloody urinary dribbling, especially before or after giving birth;Toxic sores, swollen and painful throat, and snakebite.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMateria Medica:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear Heat from Deficiency\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/strong\u003e This herb has relatively strong cardiotonic properties, and an overdose (30 - 45 g) can provoke toxic reactions.
