Hello everyone, today I would like to introduce you to a plant that is common in the countryside, it may be a weed in your eyes, but it is a treasure in the eyes of those who understand their value. This plant is rich in medicinal properties and plays an important role in rural life. Let's get to know this plant, its name is Purple Back Golden Plate.
In every village in the countryside, there are usually one or two people who understand the value of wild herbs, and they are respected by the villagers as herbalists. When someone in the village is sick or unwell, everyone will come to the herbalist and ask what herbs are available to solve the problem. A lot of physical discomfort can be solved by some herbs in the rural mountains, and of course, serious cases still need to go to the hospital. The herbalist in the village solves the troubles of the neighbors and friends, and the neighbors also express their gratitude and sometimes even give some money or gifts.
Today, I would like to introduce you to a common rural roadside plant - the purple-backed gold plate. This plant is widely distributed in the rural areas of our country, growing on the roadside, the edge of the field, the edge of the ridge, and even on the wasteland. Due to its wide distribution, its names are not the same in various places, and there are also other names such as Broken Blood Pill, Lime Cabbage, Scattered Blood Grass, Blood-Reducing Grass, Pulsatilla, White Hair Prunella Grass, etc. What's the name of your hometown?
The purple-backed golden pan is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant with an erect stem and a height of about 20 cm. In my hometown, Xinhua Village, Hunan, you can see it even in winter. Its flowers come in a variety of colors, with pale blue or blue-purple corollas and occasional white or white-green. The flowering season is from December to March in the south and April to June in the north. The flowering time of this plant varies depending on the climate temperature difference.
The purple-backed gold plate not only has rich botanical performance, but its medicinal value cannot be underestimated. In my memory, the people of my hometown mainly used the purple-backed gold plate for medicinal purposes, and the story I want to share is about its medicinal properties.
When I was a child, I somehow had a bullae on my foot, and it was so puulated and dripping that I could barely walk. At that time, my mother went to the mountains to dig up the purple back gold plate and came back, cleaned and chopped, added some washing water, and then stirred it into a paste in the beating. Apply this herb to the wound, wrap it in a cloth, tie it tightly with a string, and repeat this for several days. Unexpectedly, the wound not only no longer swollen, but also no longer suppurated, and gradually got better. However, a large scar was left on the foot.
Later, when I was in junior high school, my classmates generally contracted hemorrhoids due to the environment. Once again, my mother used the Purple Back Gold Plate to make a potion to clean hemorrhoids, and the results were remarkable.
