Kidney grass, also known as horseshoe grass, is a wild herbaceous plant. Just by hearing the name kidney grass, we know that it is a good medicine for treating nephritis and can be used to relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating caused by nephritis.
[Medicinal Value of Kidney Grass]
1. Treatment of acute and chronic nephritis
Nephritis is a common disease in humans. After patients are infected, they are prone to symptoms such as difficulty urinating or lower back pain. Kidney grass can be directly used to treat these symptoms.
To treat, take 60 grams of kidney grass and boil it in water until it becomes a soup. After removing it, use white wine as a medicinal decoction. This can quickly relieve discomfort caused by nephritis.
2. Treatment of tuberculosis-induced coughing up blood
Tuberculosis is a serious disease that not only spreads but also causes patients to cough up blood. However, kidney grass has a certain therapeutic effect on this disease.
During treatment, kidney grass should be boiled with licorice, and after boiling, add an appropriate amount of ginger juice and honey to mix. After the temperature is suitable, take it orally.
[Methods of Planting Kidney Grass]
1. Select and prepare the land
Kidney grass has strong resistance. Generally, the land suitable for planting crops can be used to plant kidney grass. When selecting the land, try to choose soil with convenient drainage, transportation, and good fertility and permeability.
2. Scientific propagation
The most common way to propagate kidney grass is through seed propagation and division propagation. Seed propagation is the most commonly used planting method, and division propagation involves planting newly sprouted rhizomes of kidney grass.
3. Watering and fertilizing
If planted using seed propagation, the seedlings will generally emerge in one to three weeks. If using division propagation, new roots will usually grow after about five days of planting.
Throughout the entire growth process of kidney grass, we need to water it periodically. From emergence to harvest, watering is done approximately six to eight times, and fertilization is done about three to four times.
