Everyone has heard of Xin Qiji's poems, and so knows of a historical figure named Liu Jinu, but surely many people do not know that there is also a traditional Chinese medicine by this name, and that it is highly effective, not only able to treat malaria, but also having good effects on bloody stool, bloating and fullness from blood and qi, scalds and burns, and red and white dysentery.

1. Malaria

It actually has a relatively major effect on malaria; medical books record that using this medicinal herb decocted into a juice can treat cholera.

2. Bloating and fullness from blood and qi

We grind its spike into a powder, then use three qian decocted in wine to treat this illness.

3. Bloody stool

It also has its own method for treating bloody stool: we need to grind it into powder, then dissolve it in tea, and afterward drink it down.

4. Postpartum

Women may have all kinds of problems after childbirth, such as incomplete discharge of lochia; at this time we can also use this medicinal herb, decocting it according to a certain formula to treat this illness.

5. Red and white dysentery

Treating this illness also requires this thing; in addition we need dark plum and white ginger, then decoct them in water. If the affected area looks red, then we add more dark plum; if it is white, then add ginger.

6. Scalds and burns

We grind it into a fine powder, then add glutinous rice paste, afterward use a chicken feather to sweep the wound, and finally apply the medicine. If we feel no pain when applying the medicine, that indicates there is nothing serious. For a generally injured person, we can first apply salt on top, so that the flesh does not necrose, and afterward apply this medicine to the wound.

7. Others

It has many other effects as well, and relevant information appears in many medical texts; for example, a decoction made from it can treat women's prolonged menstruation, and a powder made from it can also stop children from crying at night. In addition, it also has great effects on some inflammations.
