,.GRASS
OF
THE SUN"
_
HUANGJING
Huangjing,
is
the
root
of
Polygonatum,
a perennial plant
of the
Liliaceae family.
The plant
grows
amongst
the
shrubs
or on grassland
just
outside the shrubs.
lt
occurs in
many
hilly regions of China, both North
and
South;
the best harvesting
of
the
root
is
late
autumn
or
early
winter.
Huangjing
is good for deficiency of the stomach
and spleen, cough
and
weakness
of
the
lung as well as
thirst
quenching,
etc.
Because traditionally
it
was hailed as a
herb for
promoting good
health,
it
was
also called
"grass of
the
sun". Modern
analysis of the herb showed
that it
is
good for coronaries and has also got
favorable anti-aging, antibiotic
and
detoxifying properties. Huangjing that
is
being
marketed is of
a
few
types
but
it is
best
to
choose those that are large,
dry
but
soft,
heavy
and
plump,
amber
in color,
with luster
(like
ginger)
but
with-
out any
mould
on
it.
As huangjing
has
preventive properties for atherosclero-
sis (hardening)
of
the arteries supply-
ing
the
brain as well as preventing fatty
liverfrom occurring, some people would
prepare
congee containing
huangjing.
However,
to
prevent
overdose,
not
more
than
15 grams
of huangjing should
be
taken.
