1. "The Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "The ten herbs of this herb can be used lightly to remove excess, and belong to the categories of ephedra and kudzu root. Gai ephedra is a medicine of the Sun meridian, which also enters the Lung meridian and controls the skin and hair; kudzu root is a medicine of the Yang ming meridian, which also enters the Spleen meridian and controls the muscles. Therefore, both herbs are light and diffuse, and their effects are vastly different."

Therefore, it is responsible for quenching thirst, causing excessive body heat and heat blocking the chest and diaphragm, causing vomiting.

"For those who suffer from typhoid fever, headache, strong neck and spinal pain, as well as bone pain all over the body, the foot sun is also present, and the evil has not yet entered Yangming. Therefore, there is no thirst syndrome and it should not be taken."
3. The Compendium of Materia Medica states: "Kudzu root is a medicine that clears wind and cold, purifies external evil, relieves muscle heat, and relieves restlessness and thirst. It is also a medicine that helps to dispel stomach fire. After tasting, there are many medicines that can dispel evil, such as Ma Huang pulling out the cold of the sun's camp, Gui Zhi relieving the wind of the sun's guard, Fang Feng and Zi Su dispersing the wind and cold of the sun on the surface, Gao Ben and Qiang Huo dispersing the cold and dampness of the sun on the surface, all of which are called divergent medicines. However, the divergence of Kudzu root also enters the sun and disperses wind and cold, which is different. It is not like Ma, Gui, Su, and Fang, but also like Ma, Gui, Su, and Fang. It is fragrant, warm, and dry Gaoben and Qianghuo are both divergent and have a risk of consuming the blood of the camp
