Introduction
Over-the-road Yellow usually refers to Lysimachia christinae Hance (Guo Qian Cao). Generally, the effects and functions of Lysimachia christinae Hance include clearing heat and promoting urination, protecting the liver and relieving pain, relieving cough and removing phlegm, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and promoting urination to expel calculi. The use of traditional Chinese herbs should follow medical advice. During medication, appropriate dosage should be observed to avoid excessive use. Meanwhile, individuals with deficiency-cold in the spleen and stomach, exterior contraction of cold-wind, or interior injury from raw and cold food should use Lysimachia christinae Hance cautiously.

Lysimachia christinae Hance, commonly known as Creeping Jenny or coinwort, generally refers to the herb known as Jin Qian Cao. Under normal circumstances, the effects and functions of Jin Qian Cao include clearing heat and promoting urination, protecting the liver and relieving pain, relieving cough and removing phlegm, relaxing tendons and promoting circulation of Qi and blood, and promoting urination and expelling calculi. The use of Chinese herbal medicine should follow medical advice. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Clearing Heat and Promoting Urination

Jin Qian Cao has a bitter taste and cold nature, entering the bladder and kidney meridians, thus exerting effects of clearing heat and promoting urination. Jin Qian Cao also helps alleviate symptoms of bladder heat accumulation caused by damp-heat retention and impaired qi transformation, promoting the excretion of excess fluid from the body.

2. Protecting the Liver and Relieving Pain

Jin Qian Cao also has certain hepatoprotective effects and can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of certain liver diseases. In addition, Jin Qian Cao can relieve pain, such as headaches and arthritis, helping to alleviate pain symptoms.

3. Relieving Cough and Removing Phlegm

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm is generated from dampness, and dampness aggregates into phlegm. Jin Qian Cao can dry dampness and therefore has the effect of relieving cough and removing phlegm. It can be used to treat symptoms such as excessive phlegm in the throat with unsatisfactory expectoration and has certain therapeutic effects on diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

4. Relaxing Tendons and Promoting Circulation

Jin Qian Cao has the effect of relaxing tendons and promoting circulation, effectively improving symptoms of joint stiffness and pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Drinking Jin Qian Cao soaked in alcohol can further enhance its effect of relaxing tendons and promoting circulation.

5. Promoting Urination and Expelling Calculi

While promoting urination, Jin Qian Cao also has the function of expelling stones. It can increase the pressure within the upper ureteral lumen, enhance ureteral peristalsis, and increase urine output, thereby exerting a squeezing and flushing effect on ureteral stones to promote their expulsion.

During medication, attention should be paid to appropriate use to avoid excessive dosage. Patients with deficiency-cold syndrome of the spleen and stomach, as well as those with syndromes caused by external contraction of cold wind and internal injury from raw and cold food, should also use Jin Qian Cao cautiously.
