The name of the plant is also known as Jinling grass, ink grass, knotweed and so on. It is the whole grass of snakeheads of the genus Channa, family Asteraceae. It has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidney and cooling and stopping bleeding (cooling and moisturizing the blood to prevent bleeding).
It is mainly used in clinical practice for treating dizziness, tinnitus, premature whitening of hair, loose gums and pain due to yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys (deficiency of yin fluid in the liver and kidneys); and for treating vomiting of blood, disintegration (excessive menstruation or dripping of menstruation) with hemorrhage due to yin deficiency and heat in the blood, and other disorders. If the fresh product is pounded and applied externally, it can also be used for bleeding from trauma.
