Uwagi

  • Some sources credit it with strengthening Kidney function.
  • Other sources regard it primarily as a Wind-Damp-dispelling herb.
  • One source states that it clears Heat and dispels Blood Stasis.
  • It is frequently used to treat arthritis, particularly of the knees, and suits Damp-Heat in the Lower Jiao with knee inflammation.
  • It affects the pituitary-adrenal-hypothalamic axis.
  • It offers protection against pathogens.
  • It expels exterior pathogenic Wind and eliminates Internal Damp-Heat, particularly in the Lower Jiao.
  • It has become a standard treatment for neuralgia, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, immediate-type allergies, and cancer.
  • One source states that it relieves buccal mucosal pain and hand pain, expels Phlegm, and stops cough and asthma arising from Lung Deficiency.
  • It has been shown to inhibit the growth of, and kill, cancer cells.
  • Rx. Aristolochiae Fangchi Guang Fang Ji excels at eliminating Wind and Dampness, whereas Han Fang Ji is the stronger diuretic; Guang Fang Ji suits edema of the upper body while Han Fang Ji suits edema of the lower body, and where a source does not specify which is meant, Han Fang Ji is the one typically used.
  • Han Fang Ji and Caulis Akebiae Mu Tong share a strongly bitter, very cold nature and both descend to clear Heat forcefully, open the fluid pathways, and unblock the orifices; together they treat floating edema and urinary difficulty from Damp-Heat, as well as Wind-Damp Bi. Han Fang Ji is more effective at removing pathogenic water and expelling Wind, making it the better choice for edema with abdominal distention, Phlegm-thin-mucus wheezing, and Wind-Damp Bi, while Mu Tong is superior at clearing Fire from the Heart and Small Intestine channels and invigorating the Blood, making it more suited to mouth and tongue ulcers, rough and painful urination from excess Fire in the Heart and Small Intestine channels, and amenorrhea due to Blood Stasis.
  • Han Fang Ji's solid, hard texture was traditionally thought to mobilize the Lower Jiao, making it superior for expelling Dampness, moving water, and reducing swelling — hence its frequent use for Lower Jiao Damp-Heat, lower-body edema, and Damp leg Qi. Guang Fang Ji, by contrast, was considered as light as wood floating on water, its lightness taken to mean its action moves upward and outward, expelling Wind, easing pain, and treating upper-body edema as well as Wind-Damp Bi; because of its toxicity, however, it is no longer used.
