ABSTRACT
This herb is the root and rhizome of Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schimidt ex. Miq. of the family Umbelliferae. It grows mainly in the Hebei, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and Shandong provinces of China. Harvested in summer and washed clean, the rootlets are discarded. The roots are skinned after scalding in boiling water, then sliced or cut into small segments, dried in the sun, and used unprocessed (Dong et al., 1998; Wang, 1994). https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203050040/86743b54-459f-4502-a9f1-33f21b13726a/content/figpg159_001_B.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
