Tom's Comment
There is another herb that has a similar name that is often confused with this herb. That herb is Gui Jian Yu Euonymus alatus. This is a totally different herb. Gui Jian Yu is in the herbs that Invigorate Blood and Break Blood Stasis category. It is clinically used to break blood and unblock menses.
