Glehnia littoralis in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Background
Chinese Name (pinyin): Beishashen
Chinese Name :
Common Name :Glehnia Root
Specific Name : Radix glehniae
Scientific Name:
Collection : The drug is collected in summer and autumn removed from rootlets, washed clean, dried slightly in the air, treated with boiling water peeled and dried or dried immediately directly after washing.
Description : Slenderly cylindrical, branching occasionally, 15 - 45 cm long. 0.4 - 1.2 cm in diameter. Externally yellowish white, slightly rough, occasionally with patches of cork adhering or yellowish brown when un-peeled, finely wrinkled longitudinally and with brownish yellow spotted rootlet scars. Top with yellowish brown remains of rhizome. The upper part somewhat thin, the middle part relatively thick and the lower part tapering. Texture fragile, easily broken. Fracture yellowish white in bark and yellow in wood. Odour characteristic, taste sweetish.
Identification : Transverse section: Cortex of several layers of parenchymatous cells, scattered with secretory canals. Cork visible when unpeeled. Phloem broad, rays distinct, sieve tubes groups collapsed in the outer part and appearing as a narrow band. Secretory canals scattered. 20 - 65 µm in diameter, containing yellow-brown secretion, surrounded by 5 - 8 secretory cells. Cambium in a ring. Xylem rays 2 - 5 cells wide, most vessels arrange in V-shaped. Parenchymatous cells containing gelatinized starch granules.
Processing : Remove remains of the stem and foreign matter, soften slightly cut into sections and dry.
Action : To replenish yin of the lung and stomach, remove heat from the lung, and promote fluid secretion.
Indication : dry codugh caused by heat in the lung; bloody sputum in phtisis; thirst in febrile diseases
Precautions : Incompatible with Rhizoma et Radix Veratri.
Dosage : 4.5 to 9 g.
Storage : Preserve in a ventilated and dry place, protected from moth.
