Shengsangpi ÉúɣƤ Zhisangpi ÖËɣƤ Chinese Name (pinyin): Sangbaipi

Chinese Name  :

Common Name  :Mulberry Bark

Specific Name  : Cortex mori

Scientific Name:
Collection  : The root is collected in late autumn while the leaves are falling off and in early spring before germination, removed from the yellowish brown cork, cut longitudinally. The root bark is stripped off and dried in the sun.

Description  : Quilled, channeled or flat piece, varying in length and width, 1-4mm thick. Outer surface white or pale yellowish white, relatively even, some with orange yellow remains of scaly barks, inner surface yellowish white or greyish yellow with fine longitudinal striations. Texture light and tenacious, strongly fibrous, uneasily broken but easily stripped longitudinally and dusting on stripping. Odour slight, taste slightly sweet.

Identification  : Transverse section: Phloem rays 2-6 cells wide, laticiferous tubes scattered, fibres scattered singly or in bundles, unlignified or slightly lignified, parenchymatous cells containing starch granules, some containing prisms of calcium oxalate. The groups of sclerenchymatous cells mixed with stone cells, scatter in older root bark most lumina containing prisms.Powder: Pale greyish yellow, fibres numerous, most broken, 13-26µm in diameter, walls thickened, unlignified to slightly lignified, pit canals indistinct. Prism of calcium oxalate 11-32µm in diameter. Stone cells subrounded, subsquare or irregular, 22-52µm in diameter, walls relatively thick, with distinct pits and pit-canals, lumina containing prisms. Sclerenchymatous cells containing crystals, pits indistinct. Starch granules numerous, subrounded, 4-16µm in diameter.

Processing  : Wash clean soften briefly, cut into slivers and dry.Processed with honey: stir fry the slivers of Cortex Mori as describe under the method of stir frying with honey (Appendix ll D) until it is no more sticky to fingers.

Action  : To remove heat from the lung, to relieve asthma, and to induce diuresis.

Indication  : cough and asthma caused by heat in the lung; anasarca with oliguria

Precautions  :

Dosage  : 6 to 12 g.

Storage  : Preserve in a ventilated and dry place, protected from moisture and moth.

Chinese Name  :

Common Name  :Mulberry Leaf

Specific Name  : Folium mori

Scientific Name:
Collection  : The drug is collected at the early frost season, removed from foreign matter and dried in the sun.

Description  : Mostly crumpled and broken. When whole, petioled ovate or broadly ovate, 8 - 15cm long, 7 - 13cm wide, apex acuminate, base truncate, round or cordate, margins dentaate or obtuse dentate, some irregularly partite. Upper surface yellowish green or pale yellowish brown, some with small warty protrudings, lower surface relatively light in color, veins prominent, lateral veins reticulated, sparsely pubescent on the veins, cluster of hairs occurring at the base, texture fragile, odor slight, taste weak, slightly bitter and astringent.

Identification  : Powder: Yellowish green or yellowish brown. The upper epidermis havine large crystal cells containing cystolith, 47 - 77µm in diameter, stomata anomocytic in lower epidermis, with 4 - 6 subsidiary cells. Non-glandular hairs unicellular, 50 - 230µm long, cluster of calcium oxalate 5 - 16µm in diameter, prisms ocassionally visible

Processing  : Eliminate foreign matter, rub to break, removed the petioles and sift off the dust.

Action  : To dispel wind-heat and to remove heat from the lung, to subdue hyperactivity of the liver and improve eyesight.

Indication  : upper respiratory tract infection, heat in the lung with dry cough; dizziness, headache, inflammation of the eye, blurred vision
