Pei Lan

Eupatorium odoratum L. Pei Lan (seed) Eupatol, lupeol, beta-amyrin, salvigenin, isosakuranetin, odoratin, aromatic acids, anisic acid.50 Anodyne, hemostat, spasmolytic, vermifuge. 

Pei Lan is also able to disperse dampness, but it is neutral and gentle. It transforms the dampness and is particularly effective for treating a sticky sensation in the mouth. 

Huo Xiang and Pei Lan are pungent and aromatic, and enter the Spleen and Stomach meridians. Both are able to transform dampness in the Middle-Jiao, revive the Spleen, improve appetite and reduce the fullness in the Stomach. Huo Xiang and Pei Lan are often used together to enhance the ability of transforming dampness. 

Pei Lan is neutral and gentle. Its light fragrant smell can particularly separate the clean from the turbid in the Middle-Jiao and revive the Spleen. It is effective in treating the sweet and sticky sensation in the mouth, a foul smell in the mouth, fullness in the chest, heavy limbs and a heavy sensation in the head. 

Huo Xiang and Pei Lan can be used as deputies to treat damp-heat in the Middle-Jiao. They are aromatic herbs and can penetrate the dampness and revive the Spleen. They can therefore disperse the heat and dampness, and transform the dampness. They should be used with herbs that clear the heat. 

Pei Lan (Eupatorii herba) Aromatically transforms dampness in the Middle-Jiao. 

For difficult and irregular bowel movements, add Herba Eupatorii Fortunei Pei Lan). 

Amide bond is an effective anchor to connect CNTs to substrate surfaces. Lan et al. [52] covalently assembled shortened multi-walled carbon nanotubes (s-MWNT) on polyelectrolyte films. The shortened MWNT is functionalized with acyl chloride in thionyl chloride (SOCl2) before self-assembling. The FTIR spectrum of self-assem-bled MWNT (SA-MWNT) adsorbed on a CaF2 plate modified with PEI/(PSS/PEI)2 shows two characteristic absorption peaks at 1646cm-1 (amide I bond) and 1524cm-1 (amide II bond) resulting from the amide bond formed between the polyelectrolyte films and s-MWNTs.
