Anmerkungen
- In frog-heart experiments this herb displayed mild toxicity.
- Beyond its digestive action, it helps relieve a congested state marked by mental fogginess, sluggish reflexes, and long-standing Phlegm.
- Can be used by itself for abdominal distention.
- It works particularly well for chronic Food Stagnation with Stomach distention.
- In its raw form it lifts Qi to expel Wind-Phlegm and ease a stifling sensation in the chest from the Upper Jiao, often inducing vomiting that helps treat Wind-stroke with Phlegm surging upward alongside Food Stagnation. Once dried, it instead sends Qi downward, transforms Phlegm, and moves the Spleen channel to promote Spleen Qi flow and clear Food Stagnation — treating cough and wheezing with heavy Phlegm, abdominal distention, belching, poor appetite, and tenesmic diarrhea from Food Stagnation.
- Lai Fu Zi and Sm. Sinapis Bai Jie Zi both excel at clearing Phlegm for cough and wheezing, but differently: Lai Fu Zi is mild and neutral, working internally within the organs to regulate Lung, Spleen, and Large Intestine Qi, relieving fullness and eliminating Food Stagnation, and suits both Hot and Colon disorders; Bai Jie Zi is warm and sharply potent, acting at the level of the channels and collaterals to disperse Phlegm lodged between skin and membrane, and its warm nature restricts it to Cold-Phlegm conditions.
- Raw Radish Seeds, Sheng Lai Fu Zi, induce vomiting, and when powdered and mixed with rice wine may be applied topically for bruising from trauma.
- Dry-fried Radish Seeds, Chao Lai Fu Zi, turn warm instead of neutral and descending instead of ascending, transforming Phlegm, clearing Food Stagnation, and relieving distention.
- Dried Radish Leaf, Luo Bo Ye, is used for diarrhea and dysentery.
- The fresh root, Luo Bo, addresses digestive upset, hoarseness, thirst, dysentery, migraine, nosebleed, and blood-streaked sputum.
- The dried, shriveled root, Di Gu Luo, acts as a gentle diuretic for urinary irritation and fluid retention.
