Notas

  • Some sources categorize it as an herb that clears Summerheat.
  • Burning it repels mosquitoes.
  • It vents Heat outward from the Yin level to the Yang level and is ideal for clearing Liver and Gallbladder Heat.
  • Since it does not deplete Qi or Blood, it suits Heat disorders in patients who are Blood Deficient.
  • Its clean aroma penetrates the forehead to brighten the eyes and disperse Wind-Heat.
  • Used fresh and alone in large doses, it can treat malaria.
  • One source states that it relieves fever and overexertion.
  • Studies show this herb inhibits cancer cell growth.
  • Applied to a cut wound, it stops bleeding, promotes new tissue growth, and relieves pain.
  • Do not decoct it for longer than 5–15 minutes.
  • Qing Hao and Rx. Bupleuri Chai Hu both enter the Liver and Gallbladder channels and treat malarial disorders with alternating chills and fever. Qing Hao, with its light, clearing, cooling aroma, excels at clearing Summerheat without harming the Yin, and treats fever from Yin injured by warm or Summerheat pathogens, or steaming bones from Yin Deficiency or consumptive Heat. Chai Hu is uplifting and dispersing, well suited to spreading Liver Qi Stagnation and raising clear Yang — though overuse tends to injure the Yin.
  • Qing Hao and Rx. Stellariae Yin Chai Hu both cool the Blood and reduce steaming bones. Qing Hao is acrid and fragrant, venting warm pathogens from the Yin level outward to the Yang level, and is best suited to Heat that is worse at night and eases by morning from warm-pathogen injury at the Ying level; it also resolves Summerheat and treats the alternating chills and fever of malarial disorders. Yin Chai Hu does not clear Heat by venting, but does treat Heat from childhood nutritional impairment.
  • Qing Hao, Rx. Cynanchi Atrati Bai Wei, and Rx. Stellariae Yin Chai Hu all clear pathogenic Heat. Qing Hao does not cool the Lungs or promote urination. Rx. Stellariae Yin Chai Hu does not vent Heat or Blood Heat outward — it only cools Blood Heat from within.
  • Qing Hao and Hb. Artemisiae Scopariae Yin Chen are both aromatic herbs that resolve Damp-Heat, and are often combined to treat Damp-Heat jaundice, Warm-Damp disorders, and Summerheat-warmth. Yin Chen enters the Spleen and Stomach and is specific for jaundice, while Qing Hao enters mainly the Liver and Gallbladder and is better at resolving steaming bones from consumption; it is especially effective at draining pathogenic Fire in Summerheat-warmth and in malarial disorders.
  • Dry-fried Sweet Wormwood, Chao Qing Hao, is more effective for treating steaming bones and consumptive Heat.
  • Turtle Blood Sweet Wormwood, Bie Xue Qing Hao, is more effective at cooling Heat and nourishing the Yin, and is often used for Yin Deficiency night sweats, consumptive Heat, and steaming bones.
