       Clinical application:
       1. Treatment of acute nephritis
        It has better effect and can shorten the course of disease. According to the observation of dozens of cases, after taking the medicine, the urine usually increases significantly within 1 to 5 days, and can reach about 1500 to 3000 milliliters per day. Then the edema gradually disappeared, and the changes of high blood pressure and urine test gradually improved and became normal. According to the statistics of some cases, the average disappearance time of edema is about 4 to 5 days or about 1 week; the time for blood pressure to return to normal is 5 to 20 days, with an average of 7 to 9 days; the average disappearance time of urine test changes ranges from 11 days to 26.4 days. For chronic nephritis, it also has diuretic swelling and certain antihypertensive effects. But for ascites caused by liver disease and edema caused by heart failure, it has no diuretic and swelling effect or the effect is not significant. Therefore, some people speculate that the main function of Imperatae imperinae is to relieve glomerular vasospasm, thereby increasing renal blood flow and renal filtration rate to produce diuretic effect; at the same time, renal ischemia is improved, renin production is reduced, and blood pressure returns to normal. Therefore, it has a good curative effect on acute nephritis, poor curative effect on chronic nephritis, and almost no effect on edema of liver disease and heart disease. During the medication period, no adverse reactions were observed except for some individuals with slight dizziness or nausea. Usage: Generally take half a catty of Imperata rhizome (dry product), wash and chop, decoct in water, and take it in divided doses 2-3 times a day. Take it for 1 to 2 weeks or until fully recovered. It is also combined with Da Ji, Xiao Ji, Sheng Di or Ephedra to form a compound treatment. While taking the medicine, you must pay attention to bed rest, limit the intake of water and salt, and keep warm. If necessary, other drugs can be appropriately added to control complications and infection lesions, etc.
        2. Treatment of acute infectious hepatitis
       Use 2 taels of Imperata rhizome (dry product), decoct in water, and take it twice a day. 28 cases were treated, and the results were clinically cured (the main symptoms and signs disappeared within 45 days, and the liver function returned to normal) in 21 cases, and improved (the clinical symptoms improved, and the values of various liver functions decreased by more than half within 45 days, or completely returned to normal after 45 days) 7 example. After treatment, most of the main symptoms disappeared within 10 days, and hepatosplenomegaly disappeared in about 20 days; alanine aminotransferase decreased to normal in 80% of patients after 45 days, and the jaundice index returned to normal in an average of 20.15 days. No side effects were seen.
       3. Diuretic effect:
       Imperata rhizome decoction and water infusion have a diuretic effect on normal rabbits. The diuretic effect is most obvious after 5-10 days of administration, and it is not obvious after about 20 days. However, the dose used, especially the amount of water ingested by animals, is not clear, and there is no control group, so further research is needed. It is also believed that the diuretic effect of imperina root is related to its rich potassium salt.
        4. Hemostatic effect:
        Imperatae root powder can significantly shorten the recalcification time of rabbit plasma. But the rhizome of Imperatae contains more calcium, which may interfere with the experimental results. Sprinkle powder of coriander root on the bleeding part of the femoral artery of dogs or rabbits, and press it for 1-2 minutes to stop bleeding. Clinical use of rhizoma imperinae to treat epistaxis.
        5. Antibacterial effect:
        The Rhizoma Imperatae decoction had obvious inhibitory effect on Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei in test tube, but had no effect on Shigella and Shigella Schübneri.
        6. Effects on myocardial 86Rb uptake:
        Intraperitoneal injection of the hydroalcoholic extract of Imperata rhizome can increase the uptake of 86Rb in the myocardium of mice.
        7. Other functions:
        The coixin contained in the root of coix coix inhibits the contraction and metabolism of skeletal muscle. In addition, it also has sedative, antipyretic and analgesic effects. It has also been reported that Imperata Rhizome has no antipyretic effect.
