The traditional Chinese medicine name of Acanthopanax japonicus is also called Schizonepeta, which comes from the herb Schizonepeta. It is the whole grass or flower spike of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, which is mainly wild. Golden thorn grass is edible and plays a great role in the treatment of some diseases, as follows:

1, clearing away heat and relieving pain

The most commonly used herbs are used to treat headache and fever caused by wind-cold and cold. Wind-heat cold or headache, combined with Chinese herbal medicines such as Bupleurum and mint, can relieve symptoms. If it is caused by exogenous cold, it can be improved quickly if it is used with Chinese herbal medicines such as ginger and Saposhnikovia divaricata.

2, anti-inflammatory and analgesic

Clearing heat and diminishing inflammation is also one of the important functions of acanthopanax senticosus, and it is a commonly used medicine for treating pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Can be used in combination with Radix Platycodi and Radix Glycyrrhizae, and can quickly control inflammation and relieve sore throat symptoms.

3. Stop bleeding and diminish inflammation

Thorn grass can also stop bleeding. If it is traumatic bleeding, stir-fry Acanthopanax senticosus, grind it into powder and apply it directly. However, if it is used to treat internal bleeding, it needs to be used together with other Chinese herbal medicines to achieve the greatest effect. For example, to treat hematochezia, Acanthopanax japonicus and Sophora japonica charcoal should be used together.

4, rash relief and itching relief

Tian Jihuang can also stop rash and relieve itching. When suffering from urticaria, rubella and measles, Chinese herbal medicines such as Hypericum japonicum, Herba Menthae and Radix Saposhnikoviae can be decocted together, or the decocted liquid medicine can be used to clean the affected part, which can stop the rash and relieve itching.

5. Beautiful and beautiful

Golden thorn grass can also be made into Schizonepeta honey, which is especially good for health. Schizonepeta honey contains natural fructose, amino acids, vitamins and so on. Soaking in water can effectively clean up toxins accumulated in the human body, reduce the deposition of pigments on the skin surface and fade spots. Nepeta honey is usually applied to the face, which can reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin.

6. Eat healthily

The stems and leaves of Acanthopanax japonicus are tender, fragrant, edible, delicious and healthy.
