  1. 性寒, 味辛酸, 有小毒.

    Euphorbia ebracteolata is cold in nature, pungent and sour in taste, and slightly toxic, so it must be handled with care.

  2. 主蝕惡肉, 殺疥蟲, 排膿, 去惡血.

    It erodes putrid flesh, kills scabies mites, drains pus, and dispels stagnant blood, making it a remedy for festering skin ailments and blood stasis.

  3. 葉有汁, 根如蘿葍, 皮黃肉白.

    Its leaves contain a milky sap, the root resembles a radish, with yellow skin and white flesh, the white latex from broken stems being its hallmark.

  4. 五月採根, 陰乾. 黑頭者良. 《本草》

    The root is gathered in the fifth lunar month and dried in the shade, those with blackened heads being prized as superior, according to the Bencao.
