? The legend of Chinese herbal medicine in Taibai Yam Valley - Luhuicao
? In Taibai Yam Valley, there is a perennial evergreen herb called Deershuicao, also called deershoucai, deershoucai, deershoucao or deershoucao, grows wild under trees in mountains and forests, or in damp places on rocks. Harvest in late summer and dry the whole plant in the sun. There is a reason for a herb to have so many names...
Legend has it that a peasant girl living in Taibai Yam Valley went up to the mountain to dig up medicinal materials. I had menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, unbearable abdominal pain, dizziness, and I fainted on the mountain from the pain. When the girl was confused, she saw an old Taoist priest with a white beard and silver hair, Taibai Jinxing, coming to her side. He smiled and said to her: "Girl, you are seriously ill and you have to be saved by a sika deer." The girl woke up. , vaguely heard the sound of rustling in the forest, and after a while, the girl saw a sika deer running towards her in the forest, holding a handful of grass in its mouth. The girl stretched out her hands and said: "Thank you", and a handful of grass fell into her hands. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sika deer had left her. The girl felt it was magical, so she put the grass in her hand into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed the saliva. Sure enough, it worked. The bleeding stopped and the stomach pain disappeared. The girl was so happy that she took the remaining green grass home with gratitude and piety and named it Luhuicao, which means the grass obtained by meeting the sika deer on the mountain.
? Later, she also found this herbal medicine in Taibai Yam Valley, and introduced the efficacy of this medicine to some patients in the village suffering from this disease. Since then, Luhuicao has become a Chinese herbal medicine for treating women's dysmenorrhea and has been passed down to this day.
