Notes
- Morphine is highly toxic; its side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, urinary disturbances, sweating, drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, and biliary colic.
- The most dangerous of these effects is respiratory depression, which can progress to unconsciousness and death.
- Both morphine and codeine carry a strong risk of addiction.
- Used alone, this herb can provide symptomatic cough relief.
- Ying Su Ke and Fr. Mume Wu Mei are both astringent herbs. Ying Su Ke acts more forcefully on the Lungs and Intestines to restrain and check, affects the upper burner more readily, and — most notably — secures and stabilizes Kidney Qi while strongly easing pain. Wu Mei, also a potent astringent, enters the Lungs to arrest cough, the Intestines to arrest diarrhea, the Qi level to restrain Deficiency Fire, and the Blood to hold Yin and stop bleeding.
- Ying Su Ke and Galla Chinensis Wu Bei Zi both astringe the Lungs to ease cough and the Intestines to arrest diarrhea. Wu Bei Zi, sour, astringent and cold, astringes the Lungs and Intestines less forcefully but is better suited to descending Fire, resolving toxicity, generating Yang fluids, stopping bleeding, securing Jing, and astringing sweat. Ying Su Ke astringes more strongly and is more effective at reducing pain.
- Ying Su Ke, Limonitum Yu Yu Liang, and Halloysitum Rubrum Chi Shi Zhi each bind the Intestines, arrest diarrhea, and stabilize to halt incessant uterine bleeding, and are frequently combined to reinforce these effects. Yu Yu Liang is heavier than Chi Shi Zhi and astringes the lower Jiao without tonifying or supporting the Stomach, whereas Chi Shi Zhi, being sweet and warm, boosts the Qi, generates flesh, and regulates the Middle — making it more suitable for sores that resist healing from Qi Deficiency, and for diarrhea or uterine bleeding caused by a failure to hold securely. Ying Su Ke is light and slightly cold, entering the Qi level and preserving the Lungs.
- In patients with severe pain, Rz. Corydalis Yan Hu Suo can serve as a substitute when this herb is not readily available.
- Vinegar-fried Poppy Husk Cu Chao Ying Su Ke astringes the Intestines more forcefully and is less prone to causing nausea, making it suited for dysenteric disorders.
- Honey-prepared Poppy Husk Mi Zhi Ying Su Ke astringes the Lungs more effectively and is often chosen for chronic cough and wheezing.
