Cnidium
monnieri
she chuang zi
Umbelliferae
Cnidium is great to have in the garden as
an interesting, trouble free, filler.
Cnidium's fine, fernlike
leaf and small bunches of white flowers are an aesthetic
break, visually.
Cnidium seeds strike quickly and their viability is high as you
would expect from their carrot like seeds. They are not
fussy about location and will self seed freely.

The leaves and seeds are both high in
'osthole' which give them their peculiar taste.
We have found that a decoction
or tincture of Cnidium seeds is very useful when blended with a
carrier cream for eczema, skin rashes and ringworm.
Cnidium has a high reputation in TCM as a preferred remedy for
male infertility and impotence but we have not used it for
this purpose, yet, so can only treat this anecdotally.
