Xian Mao

Name

Xian Mao (Rhizoma Curculiginis)

The Effect of Xian Mao

Property

Sweet, pungent, hot; little toxin, liver and kidney meridians entered.

Actions

Warm kidney, invigorate yang, dispel cold and dampness.

Indications

Kidney yang deficiency, chronic cold, damp arthralgia, cold pain, diarrhea due to yang deficiency of spleen and kidney.

Dosage and Administrations

Decoct 5~15 g, dissolved in wine, or prepared into pill and powder.

Cations

It is contraindicated in cases of yin deficiency with effulgent fire, and long term usage, because it is toxic.

When to see a doctor: herbal care suits mild, everyday issues. For worsening, severe, or sudden symptoms — or if you are pregnant, on medication, or treating a child — consult a licensed practitioner first.
