Uwagi
- Older texts made no distinction between this herb (the fruit), the seed Gua Lou, or the husk Gua Lou Pi.
- It both cools and moistens, treating cough with chest pain and thick, hard-to-expectorate sputum.
- This herb, Sm. Persicae Tao Ren, and Sm. Cannabis Huo Ma Ren all treat dry constipation, but for different causes: Tao Ren addresses constipation from Blood Stasis and Heat, this herb addresses constipation from Lung Heat with thirst, and Huo Ma Ren addresses constipation from pronounced, severe Heat.
- It appears commonly in formulas for Lung Heat, particularly when Yin Deficiency is present.
- It has an unusual combined taste of sweet, bitter, and sour.
- The dry-fried form, Chao Gua Lou Ren, is the customary preparation, since the raw herb's taste can trigger nausea and vomiting.
- The defatted form, Lou Ren Schuang, moistens the Intestines less and is used in Spleen-Deficient patients who have cough and Phlegm.
