Speaking of Lai Xiang, many people are disgusted, which makes many green plants a bit like Lai Xiang also disgusted, and wild radish is one of them. The nickname of natural carrots is terrible, called snake bed. When I was a child, I heard stories from the old people in the village, saying that it was the place where snakes slept, and its fruit was the food of snakes, so it was called snake bed. In the past, children were very afraid of snakes. After all, there were many snakes in the rural suburbs at that time, so every time I saw such weeds, I would hide far away for fear that snakes would fall asleep on the grass. In fact, anyone who has seen a snake bed should know that it is not terrible. There are no sleeping snakes on it, just folk stories.
When the snake bed first grows out, if we don't talk about the taste, many people will mistake it for a wild vegetable, because it looks too much like Lai Xiang. In fact, the snake bed and Lai Xiang seem to be all right, because they belong to the green plants of Umbelliferae, but the difference is that Lai Xiang belongs to coriander and the snake bed belongs to the snake bed. Snake beds are very common weeds in rural areas of China. It grows and develops in hillsides, Yuan Ye, lawns, roadsides, bushes and forests, and is basically distributed in all provinces of China, so most basin friends should have seen it. The snake bed is often called wild radish, because its roots are like baskets and some are like ginseng.
The snake bed looks very unpleasant and its name is terrible. In fact, it has high use value. Don't let its appearance deceive you. What is its use value? June 6- 10/0 is the fruiting period of the snake bed, and the fruit that grows out is called peony bark. This snake bed is a bit like fennel seeds, although it is different from fennel seeds. Snake beds are not spices, but Chinese herbal medicines, which can be used as medicine. In fact, as early as in ancient China, the ancients conducted in-depth scientific research on the snake bed, and according to its use value, gave it a very good name, called Cunjincao, which will be described in "Materia Medica Shu Jing": the snake bed tastes slightly bitter and flat, sweet and non-toxic, covering with bitterness can dispel dampness, warming can dispel cold, nourishing kidney, and benefiting spleen, so it can eliminate deficiency and dampness of men and women. Eliminating dampness and cold, mild illness is easy to yang, so it can be easy to yang.
Simply put, peony bark is warm, diuretic, can nourish and preserve qi and blood, and has a very good effect on boys and girls. In southern rural areas, many old farmers often collect some peony bark during the fruit-bearing period of snake beds and go home to soak medicinal liquor. I heard that the actual effect is very good. The snake bed not only has efficacy and function, but also has high ornamental value. From April to July every year, the snake bed has a long flowering period and can release a unique fragrance, which is especially suitable for green plants in gardens and residential quarters. Moreover, snake bed flower (called wild radish flower in folk customs) can release a unique fragrance, so it can also be used as eau de toilette and bathing agent.
In addition, the green plants in the snake bed can also be used as soil fertilizer, and it is reasonable to kill insects and sterilize. It is not necessary to underestimate the snake bed, but it is full of treasures.
