Everything in nature, the war in nature, is cruel, bloody and ferocious! In addition to sharp teeth and claws, there are biological warfare agents and chemical weapons; Come and go, kill to kill; You hit me, I hit you, everything has its vanquisher, and everything changes. It's amazing!

Between predators and prey, it is a life-and-death struggle. You have sharp teeth and claws, and I have hard armor; You open your mouth and bite hard, and I kick hard; You have your party, and I have my sleeve. You have a strange disease and I have a panacea. You have a poisonous needle, and I have a clever solution. You are evil, I have stolen fairy grass!

Let's start with two scary poison bee!

Bumblebee, called yellow jacket, yellow jacket, native bee, called black jacket, black jacket. These two kinds of bees love to sting people, especially this black jacket, which is more fierce than the yellow jacket! Bee venom is a biochemical weapon. The pain after being shot is unbearable, especially for people who are allergic to bee venom, which will cause excessive reaction of the body and is very dangerous. Although bee venom is powerful, it is also a good medicine for treating diseases. It depends on how to use it.

Ground bees attack-black jacket is fierce, stealing grass is fierce.

Once climbing a mountain, in the middle of Washington state, there is a beautiful alpine lake, which is more than ten kilometers long. The clear blue lake, towering mountains around, green forests and white clouds set off the blue sky, giving people a vast, majestic, fresh and lively feeling. It is simply a fairyland for mountaineering and sightseeing!

On that day, I made an appointment with my companion to come to this lake early in the morning, wading through the rapids of streams, walking along the steep slopes of the lake, climbing vines and attached kudzu roots along the winding jungle path, and walking along the lake.

Suddenly, in a narrow mountain pass, several fallen trees rose a black smoke, rolled and rotated, and came straight to our mountaineering team-ouch! Attacked by bees! It was a swarm of bees, coming straight and flying like bullets, without turning. They all attacked the same place! It turned out that the first poison bee attack marked the impact point (with a special smell), and other subsequent attacks were aimed at this point. Just like artillery fire, the first shot is an indicator bullet, indicating the position, and then the attack-volley! Suddenly, in the line, a big man appeared and was shot several times in a row. The pain is unbearable, just screaming and sweating. Some emergencies, especially those allergic to bee venom, are very dangerous. This place is remote, and the cell phone has no signal! what can I do? What a hurry!

I was in a hurry, touching my whole body and groping in my pocket. Suddenly, I found some herbs from my coat pocket and had a brainwave and applied them to several places. It doesn't hurt in an instant! It's swollen, and it doesn't look so terrible. Sweating has stopped! Heart rate is normal! How lucky! This magical herb is wormwood! This wormwood is really good! Since then, whenever I go hiking, my coat pocket is always full of wormwood with pleasant fragrance. Later, a man was walking in the mountains and was attacked by a group of black mandarin jackets. He was shot several times in the leg-it was harsh and lonely. God didn't love poor people! Fortunately, it was saved by Xiancao, the grass was cured, and the pain and itching were alleviated. I went on and drilled this deep forest. Otherwise, it won't be painful to roll around. Alas, I can't eat and sleep well, and it has been painful for several days.

Magical absinthe

Wormwood, also known as wormwood, is commonly known as wormwood. There is a strange smell, refreshing! Early Europeans used it to drive away parasites and tapeworms in their bodies. Hence the name absinthe. It is a wild perennial herb with an erect stem and a height of 3-3 feet. The leaves are tricuspid, nearly gray-green, with fine villi. When pressed by hand, the oil will precipitate and have a strong smell.

Wormwood is widely distributed in Europe and Asia. Wormwood in North America is said to come from Europe and Asia. In many states in North America, it has become wild. I have some doubts about this, because I climbed to the deepest valley and can see it in the middle of nowhere.

In China, it has been used for acupuncture since ancient times. Acupuncture moxa sticks are made of wormwood. Moxibustion has many functions, such as warming and dispersing cold and harmonizing qi and blood. Reinforce deficiency and consolidate the foundation, and restore yang to consolidate the foundation. Promote qi and blood circulation, reduce swelling and dissipate stagnation. Strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, and protecting health.

Moxibustion is ignited, the degree of fumigation, combined with acupuncture, has a magical effect! But later, many people were afraid of trouble and secretly canceled the moxibustion step. Acupuncture, acupuncture, only needles, no moxibustion, what is acupuncture?

In the west, acupuncture is becoming more and more popular and has a bright future, but it is said that there are some troubles. Ai Juan ordered a little, and the smoke filled the room, and the aroma filled the room. Upstairs and downstairs, the neighbors all knocked at the door: Oh! Are you smoking pot? No way, no matter how good, I have to give up this baby!

Some customs of ordinary people cannot be separated from wormwood. Tomb-Sweeping Day, eat green balls. There is wormwood in the rice ball. Every household hangs a bunch of wormwood on the door to ward off evil spirits. Coincidentally, North American Indians have a similar custom-putting wormwood balls at the door and entrance, which is said to drive away the ghosts of evil forces!

Thousands of years of human development have traces of wormwood. The earliest record is the medical application of wormwood in ancient Egypt from 65438 BC to 0500 BC. Pythagoras, an ancient Greek philosopher, and Hippocrates, a famous ancient Greek doctor, both put forward the extensive application of wormwood in medicine. Even in the Bible, wormwood is mentioned.

Since ancient times, wormwood has been used as a herbal medicine to treat various diseases in Europe, Asia and North Africa:

Gastrointestinal upset, indigestion, loss of appetite. It is also used to treat various discomforts, such as listlessness, depression, listlessness and muscle pain. It is said to be used to treat intractable enteritis, Crohn's disease and IgA nephropathy. People use wormwood to wipe the skin, treat arthritis, poisonous insect bites, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

In ancient Europe, wormwood was traditionally used to repel insects, especially parasites in the body, such as tapeworms, which is why wormwood got its name.

In daily industrial products, such as soap, cosmetics and spices, wormwood is also an important additive raw material. No wonder some soaps smell absinthe!

It is said that it can stimulate the central nervous system, cheer up emotions and increase imagination! Ha ha! It's getting better!

Absinthe, a famous wine.

/kloc-at the end of 0/8, Europeans used wormwood to make wine. Wormwood oil, together with anise and fennel, is emerald green. It tastes very bitter. This is the famous absinthe. Later, it became popular in Europe. Many celebrities love to drink, as for binge drinking. There are many artists who like absinthe, such as Toulouse-Lautreck and Van Gogh, Edgar Degas's Edgar Degas, Manet, Picasso and Hemingway. . .

The famous French painter Van Gogh was a great genius. He was dissatisfied all his life, and sometimes he was depressed. He likes to drink absinthe, get drunk, inspire thinking, stimulate whimsy, and draw great pictures! Why not be so famous! Just like in the Water Margin, Song Wu got drunk and hit Jiang Menshen, so it was easy to do it! The absinthe used to deal with depression made me refreshed, my brain opened wide and my appetite opened wide! Get you high! In the past, absinthe was quite popular in Europe. Germans have a saying, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of rice. Even Shakespeare's Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has a story of wormwood!

After a few years of fanaticism, many people died of drinking, and some people blamed absinthe. It is found that the arborvitae ketone contained in wormwood has an exciting effect, but it is toxic and can cause convulsions. For a time, absinthe became a thousand fingers, and everything was absinthe! It's all absinthe

At the beginning of the 20th century, all European countries except Spain banned absinthe. Since then, people have bid farewell to the smash hit wine. It was not until the end of the 20th century that people began to realize that this was a misunderstanding! In the past, the cause of death from drinking had little to do with wormwood, but was basically related to excessive drinking. You know, it used to be alcohol above 80 degrees, so it's strange to drink too much and not die! In fact, the content of arborvitae in absinthe is very low. If you drink too much, alcohol will kill you before Platycladone takes off! It looks like a mistake! Absinthe has experienced a century of glory, followed by a century of depression and desolation, and is now in the stage of gradual rehabilitation and lifting of the ban.

The composition of plants and herbs is extremely complex-medicine is poison, and poison is medicine.

Like many herbs, wormwood is a double-edged sword. Can dispel diseases and relieve pain; Cheer up the spirit and strengthen the brain. However, there are also side effects. Folium Artemisiae Argyi contains arborvitae ketone, which can stimulate the central nervous system and cause convulsions. It is necessary to be careful that the components of plants and herbs are extremely complex and contain many alkaloids, and their curative effects and side effects are still being recognized. Knowing only one thing and not knowing the other is the basic condition for most of us to know most herbs.

In the collection of herbs of many nationalities in the world, there are many such explanations:

Medicine is poison and poison is medicine. It depends on how you prepare it and how to suit the remedy to the case! A typical example is about a big poisonous weed-Lu Li, whose English name is False hellebore. The species in North America is called Veratrum Indicum. Perennial herb of Veratrum in Liliaceae. Living on a high mountain, I like humidity. The leaves are large, wide and oval. A terminal spike of small yellow-green flowers. The land is bitter, cold and toxic, commonly known as "mountain onion". He died after a small entrance. I had an almost fatal collision with Veratrum.

I remember that summer, when I was guarding the border in Inner Mongolia, I rested on the high mountain and bathed in white clouds and blue sky. Flowers were gorgeous and attractive, squirrels jumped and climbed branches, wild foxes peeped, and pheasants kept making noise. Suddenly I felt that my mouth was tasteless, so I pulled out a wild onion (there are many kinds of Veratrum, the kind in Inner Mongolia, which looks like Shandong green onion, but it has no spicy taste), sent it to my mouth, took a bite, and after a while, I only felt dizzy and blacked out, and then I went straight to a golden flower and fell on the rock. I felt sick and vomited that deadly poisonous weed. A person, lying on that high mountain, hazy and confused, looking up at the sky, thinking, I am afraid this is my last day in this world! It took me two hours to catch my breath. The ghost hall, at the entrance of the terrifying, turned around, didn't see the terrifying, and came back! That destined child is the famous Veratrum!

Since the kiss of death, I have become extra careful! I fear wild plants and herbs. That poisonous weed makes you dizzy, dark, unable to cure ghosts and gods, heartbroken and invading people's lives. If the imp is ferocious, the rope is heady and straight into the underworld.

Veratrum nigrum is a big poison, but it is also an extremely important Chinese herbal medicine. Can be used for treating various diseases. Compared with the precious traditional Chinese medicine of our ancestors, it is no coincidence that many herbs prepared by North American Indians have added the great poison of Veratrum nigrum. Veratrum can also help lower blood pressure and heart rate. Only witch doctors of Indian tribes know this superb and wonderful preparation technique.

In addition to using wormwood against poison bee, there is another kind of grass, which is very common. This is mint. Mosquitoes here are poisonous, and it is difficult to heal after being bitten. Be sure to scratch them! It is very effective to use mint grass to deal with mosquito bites, especially after treatment! There are also some commonly used herbs to deal with poisonous insect bites, such as purslane and Bidens bipinnata.

The mysteries of nature are colorful and endless. There are thousands of exotic flowers and herbs in the middle. Vanilla is rich and poisonous weeds are enchanting. The devil also has a good side, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. You have your evil abuse, I have my stolen fairy grass!
