The root, leaf, fruit and flower of a strange tree in the mountain that can prevent thieves is a good medicine for making tea to clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

The author Xu many friends have felt to the author, the rural scenery is good, the air is good, especially in the mountains, in fact, the rural scenery is good, the air can not be separated from a variety of wild plants, and the rural mountains these wild plants are rich, looking at a green, and in the summer, in these green also mixed with some other colors, that is, those colorful wildflowers.

Speaking of wild plants, there are many strange wild plants in rural mountainous areas. The author will introduce one to you below.

Yesterday, the author and several old farmers in the village friends went to the mountains, ready to pick some wild fruit to eat, for many mountain farmers friends, wild fruit is a necessity in summer. When picking wild fruits in the mountains, the author and the villagers encountered a strange forest. The trees in this forest were very short and full of thorns. This kind of tree was called "Wolf Fang" in my hometown.

The name sounds scary. In fact, this tree is very beautiful in flowering (looks like sophora japonica). The reason why it is called this name is actually related to the growth characteristics of this kind of tree. Spike will grow many branches on the trunk during its growth period, and with its growth, some branches will become thorns. This time it is thick and long, just like Spike. Therefore, it is called "Spike".

Wolf thorn scientific name is white thorn flower, is a small shrub, tree height is not high, generally about 1, 2 meters, looks very unremarkable, but in the past for many mountain farmers friends, this tree is still a kind of "treasure."

In the past, the living conditions in rural mountainous areas can be said to be very poor. At that time, most of the farmers 'friends were "relying on mountains to eat water and draught". If they lacked anything, they would go to the mountains to collect materials. This white thorn flower is one kind. It is short and suitable for firewood. Therefore, in the past, farmers' friends in mountainous areas often went to the mountains to cut it.

In addition to making fires, farmers in the mountains used to plant a little around the chicken shed, because it has "wolf teeth" all over the body, people and animals are still very afraid, so it can also be used to "prevent thieves", such as weasels.

However, the biggest role of this Nitraria is not only when firewood burning and anti-thief, it is also a treasure, according to the old farmer friend introduced together, in fact, the roots, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds of this Nitraria are good medicine, among which the roots have the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, removing dampness and swelling, cooling blood and stopping bleeding; Fruit has the effect of regulating qi and eliminating accumulation; Flower has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and swelling; Leaf has the effect of cooling blood, detoxification, insecticide and so on.

It is precisely because Nitraria has these functions, so in the past, many old farmers in mountainous areas like it very much, especially in summer, they will also pick some Nitraria flowers and dry them for tea to drink, which can play a role in clearing heat and summer heat.

However, now that the living conditions in the countryside were better, there was no need to cut down these wild trees, so they became a scenic line in the mountains.
