The dried vine stem of Polygonum multiflorum (Polygonaceae). Enters the Heart and Liver channels. Sweet and neutral, it nourishes blood and calms the spirit, making it a commonly used herb for deficiency-vexation insomnia with excessive dreaming. It also dispels wind and frees the collaterals for impediment pain and itching. Similar to suan zao ren in effect but milder.
