升麻,其性微苦微甘而兼辛,因“其叶似麻,其性上升”而得名。《神农本草经》将其列为上品,其药源广且价廉,用途广泛,使用量小但效奇功殊,实为佳品。余早年患窦性心动过缓,每逢情绪不佳或气候不适便感觉胸闷,气短不足以吸。因见《本草纲目》有升麻“其药入腹,则觉清气上升,胸膈爽 Cimicifuga, which is slightly bitter and sweet and pungent, is named after its “leaves are like hemp and its sex is rising.” “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica” listed it as a top grade product. It has a wide range of sources of medicine and is inexpensive. It has a wide range of uses. I suffer from sinus bradycardia early in life. I feel chest tightness when I am in a bad mood or in discomfort in the climate. When seeing the “Compendium of Materia Medica,” there is Cimicifuga, “their medicine is in the abdomen, then it is clear that the air is rising and the chest is clear.”
