[Family and medicinal part] This product is the stem of Dendrobium officinale, a plant of the Orchidaceae family.
[Nature and flavor and meridians] Sweet, slightly cold. Enters the lung, stomach, and kidney meridians.
[Effects] Nourishes yin, nourishes the stomach, and produces body fluids.
[Clinical application] It is used for yin damage caused by fever, dry mouth and thirst, or body fluid deficiency and heat after illness, as well as insufficient stomach yin, red tongue, and less body fluid.
Dendrobium is used for yin deficiency and internal heat, dry mouth and thirst, insufficient stomach yin, red tongue, and less body fluids. It is often used in combination with Ophiopogon japonicus, Adenophora radix, and Radix Rehmanniae. Fresh ones have better effects in clearing heat and producing body fluids. Therefore, fresh dendrobium can be used for patients with fever, lung and stomach fire, body fluid depletion, red and dry tongue or black tongue coating, and thirst for drinking.
[Prescription name] Golden Dendrobium, Golden Hairpin Dendrobium (nourishing stomach and producing body fluids). Sichuan Dendrobium, Dry Dendrobium, Fine Dendrobium, Huangcao (mainly clear stomach fire, nourish yin and produce body fluid, but the body fluid producing power is slightly weaker, and the price is slightly more expensive than Golden Dendrobium). Fresh Golden Dendrobium, Fresh Golden Hairpin (better in clearing heat and producing body fluid, cheaper). Fresh Candidum, Fresh Dendrobium (similar to fresh Golden Dendrobium, but more expensive). Fengdou, Huodou, Huoshan Dendrobium (better in nourishing stomach and producing body fluid, but very expensive, less clinically used).
[General dosage and usage] One to three qian, decocted and taken. Double the dosage for fresh ones.
[Comment] Dendrobium is a simple drug, mainly used to nourish stomach yin and clear deficiency heat. Its function of nourishing stomach and producing body fluid is better than Ophiopogon japonicus, but it does not have the effect of moistening lungs and relieving cough, clearing heart and removing troubles.
[Example of prescription] Heat-clearing and body-preserving method “Treatise on seasonal diseases”: fresh stone caltrops, fresh radix rehmanniae, Radix trichosanthis, Radix ophiopogonis, Fructus forsythiae, Ginseng leaves. Treats fever with sweating, wind-heat turning into fire, heat damaging body fluids, and black tongue coating.
【Literature Excerpt】《本经》: “It is used to treat injuries, remove numbness, relieve qi, nourish the five internal organs, and strengthen the yin. Long-term use can strengthen the stomach and intestines.”
《本草衍义》: “Shihu is effective in treating deficiency heat in the stomach.”
《本草正义》: “Golden Shihu has a larger trunk and brighter color. It can clear deficiency heat and nourish the yin fluid of the lungs and stomach. This is the best.”
