Rural flowers and plants are everywhere, but some of them should be respected, and cat's eye grass is one of them. Cat's eye grass belongs to the Euphorbia family, because the branches and leaves are rich in milky white slurry, also called euphorbia, in the countryside there are many other names, for example, five clouds, lacquer, milk grass and so on.
Cat's eye grass can be said to be everywhere in the countryside, and its shadow can be found on the roadside, in the corner, on the ground, and in the trench. As a feature of euphorbiaceae, the stem or leaf of the cat's eye grass is broken and a large amount of milk flows out, which contains irritating resin, and local contact can cause the skin to redden or even ulcerate, and there may be a risk of blindness when contacting the eye.
Therefore, the elderly in the countryside have told the children not to touch it. He even made up a song to scare the children: "Cat's eye, cat's eye, hit the pot, hit the bowl." I remember going to the field to cut grass when I was a child, and when I saw the cat's eye grass, I walked around.
However, in the countryside, there is also a saying that cat's eye grass is a good medicine against tumors. The data shows that cat's eye grass is slightly cold, bitter taste, poisonous, and has the effect of expectorant, antitussive, asthmatic, detoxification and antipruritic effect. Horse chestnut lactone and cat's eye herb in cat's eye seeds have bacteriostatic activity in vitro.
In the countryside, many farmers believe in folk remedies, cat's eye grass may be a good medicine, but the medicine is three points of poison, whether it can be used alone still depends on the doctor's control, must not eat indiscriminately, so as not to be counterproductive.
