[Clinical application] Used for damp-heat jaundice
Artemisia scoparia is bitter and descending, and specializes in clearing dampness and heat. It is a key medicine for treating jaundice. It is mainly used for jaundice caused by damp-heat fumigation. It can be used alone, decocted in large doses, or taken orally; it can also be used in combination with rhubarb, gardenia, etc. If urination is significantly difficult, it can be used in combination with oriental rhizome, umbellate, etc. This product has a very good effect in relieving jaundice, so in addition to being used for damp-heat jaundice, it can also be used for Yin jaundice caused by cold and dampness or yang deficiency. However, it must be used together with warming and cold-dispelling herbs such as aconite and dried ginger to eliminate the cold and relieve jaundice.
[Prescription name] Artemisia capillaris, Artemisia capillaris, Artemisia capillaris, Artemisia capillaris (wash, dry, and chop)

[Attached medicine] Bell Artemisia capillaris: the whole herb of the herbaceous plant Yinxingcao of the Scrophulariaceae family. The function is similar to that of Artemisia capillaris, but in many northern regions, this product is used as “Liu Ji Nu”.
[Comments] 1. Artemisia capillaris is bitter and cold, clears heat and removes dampness, and is specialized in treating jaundice. It has a strong effect and can regulate the yin and yang of jaundice with the help of adjuvants. Therefore, it is commonly used in clinical practice. Although it is included in diuretics and has a slight effect of penetrating dampness, its effect of promoting urination is not significant. According to pharmacological research, this product has a beneficial effect on jaundice, can increase bile secretion, and has a fever-removing effect, which is enough to prove that the clinical experimental experience for thousands of years is indeed valuable.
2. The ancients believed that jaundice was caused by the accumulation of dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, so they used it as a medicine for the spleen and stomach meridians; however, dampness and heat must fumigate the liver and gallbladder, causing the gallbladder to overflow and jaundice to appear, so modern people also believe that this product is related to the liver and gallbladder. This is the development of cognition and is consistent with reality, which should be recognized by the public.
3. Although Artemisia capillaris is an important medicine for jaundice, modern people also use it to treat acute non-icteric hepatitis. It can also be effective for all cases caused by dampness and heat, so it is not necessary to restrict it to jaundice.

【Literature Excerpt】《Compendium of Materia Medica》: “Artemisia capillaris is used to treat rheumatism, cold and heat, evil qi and heat accumulation, jaundice, yellowing of the whole body, difficulty urinating and hot head, all of which are caused by dampness and heat in Yangming and Taiyin. Bitter and cold, it can dry out dampness and heat. Once dampness and heat are gone, all symptoms will naturally subside. It is an essential medicine for removing dampness and relieving heat.”
《Compendium of Materia Medica Gou Shu Yuan》: “It can dissipate the old and bring in the new, which is different from other herbs that can dispel dampness and heat, and it is even more difficult to match the effect of penetrating and benefiting.”
《Compendium of Materia Medica Illustrated》: “There are two types of jaundice, Yin and Yang. Artemisia capillaris is used with Gardenia jaundice and Phellodendron chinense to treat Yang jaundice, and with Aconite and dried ginger to treat Yin jaundice. In short, Artemisia capillaris is the main ingredient, and the auxiliary ingredients are used to treat cold and heat to regulate the Yin and Yang of jaundice.”
