Uwagi
- Some sources credit it with diuretic properties for treating Damp-Heat.
- Some sources say it treats visual haziness caused by Liver Yin Deficiency.
- Other sources classify it among the Heat-Clearing herbs that benefit the eyes.
- In Western use, it is applied to connective-tissue weakness, toxicosis, and organic disease of the Kidney, Lung, and bone.
- Their high silica content makes the stems useful as polishing material and as reeds for wind instruments.
- It accumulates gold from the soil and so serves as an indicator plant for soil gold content.
- It appears in Wind-Heat formulas only rarely, generally when an eye disorder is also present.
- It treats pain from bulging disorders, rectal prolapse, hemorrhoid bleeding from Intestinal Wind, hemafecia, and gynecological bleeding, provided these arise from Wind-Heat.
- Used alone at 15-30g, it treats bloody dysentery.
- Mu Zei resembles Hb. Ephedrae Ma Huang in form and nature, but unlike Ma Huang it is neither acrid nor hot; it enters the Liver and Gallbladder channels to disperse Wind-Heat from the Blood level and draw Blood up to the eyes, whereas Ma Huang acts chiefly by opening the Wei Qi to induce heavy sweating.
- Mu Zei and Fr. Tribuli Bai Ji Li both dredge and disperse Wind-Heat, brighten the eyes, and stop itching, and are combined to treat these presentations. Bai Ji Li calms and extinguishes Internal Wind and dredges the Liver to move stagnant Qi and Blood, while Mu Zei releases the muscle layer, expels Wind-Dampness, and more strongly clears superficial visual obstruction.
