Uwagi
- More recently this herb has been used for hypertension with light-headedness and flushing.
- Since this herb is intensely bitter, Fr. Trichosanthis Gua Lou is frequently used in its place.
- Rx. Aristolochiae Qing Mu Xiang (Ma Dou Ling Gen) is acrid, bitter, and cool to cold; it enters the Liver and Stomach, moves Qi, relieves pain, clears Heat, reduces swelling, and counters Fire toxicity. It treats epigastric pain and distention, dysenteric diarrhea from poor summer eating habits, hernial disorders, carbuncles, and toxic swellings including snakebite, though it is toxic and demands great caution. Paired with Rz. Cyperi Xiang Fu and Fr. Toosendan Chuan Lian Zi, it treats Liver-Stomach Qi Stagnation; with Rz. Coptidis Huang Lian and Sm. Arecae Bing Lang, it treats diarrhea and abdominal pain; with Rx. Angelicae Dahuricae Bai Zhi, taken internally or applied topically, it treats snakebite. Dosage is 6–9g.
- Some sources credit it with dispersing and descending Qi.
- Ma Dou Ling and Fol. Eriobotryae Pi Pa Ye both enter the Lung and Stomach channels, cool Heat, and descend Qi, treating Lung Heat cough. Ma Dou Ling particularly suits Lung Heat and blazing Fire from Yin Deficiency with coughing up of blood, and it also cools the Large Intestine to treat hemorrhoids. Pi Pa Ye particularly suits Phlegm that is difficult to expectorate, with a stronger ability to descend Qi, transform Phlegm, and relieve cough, though it is less cooling; it also treats Stomach Heat with thirst.
- Prepared Birthwort Fruit, Zhi Ma Dou Ling, is honey-processed, making it less bitter and less prone to causing nausea or vomiting, while retaining the ability to moisten the Lungs and transform Phlegm — suited to Lung Deficiency with Heat producing cough and wheezing.
- Herba Aristolochiae Birthwort Stem, Tian Xian Teng, is bitter and warm, entering the Liver and Spleen channels; it regulates Qi, transforms Dampness, invigorates the Blood, and relieves pain. It treats epigastric pain from Liver-Stomach disharmony, pain from bulging disorders, and postpartum pain, and less often arm Bi pain, at a dosage of 3–9g.
- Qing Mu Xiang is the root of the same plant that yields Ma Dou Ling.
