Qianjin vine is not Fangji. Qianjin vine and Fangji are two completely different herbs, where Qianjin vine is the root or stem and leaves of Qianjin vine, a plant in the Fangji family, which has a pungent, bitter flavor. On the other hand, Fangji is the dried tuberous root of the plant Pink Protea, family Fangji, which has a slightly bitter taste. Qianjin vine and Fangji also differ in terms of efficacy and action. Fangji mainly belongs to the bladder and lung meridian, good at diuresis and swelling, wind and pain relief, commonly used in rheumatism and paralysis (wind-cold dampness paralysis of the joints, pain in the waist and legs), urinary incontinence (urine is not smooth), eczema and sores (skin disease with pimples, oozing, and other polymorphic damage to the skin), oedema and foot pain and other diseases. And Qianjin vine is good at diuretic swelling, dispel wind pain, clearing heat and detoxification, often used in sore throat, rheumatic paralysis, carbuncle sores and ulcers (refers to all superficial surgical diseases of the body surface, with redness, swelling, heat, pain and other characteristics) and other conditions. Those with yin deficiency without dampness-heat should be cautious in taking Fangzhi. The adverse reactions of the two drugs are not known. The use of both Qianjin vine and Fangji must be guided by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be used indiscriminately to avoid delaying the condition.
