Root of Romanet Grape

Traditional Use

Primary Actions

• Clears heat and resolves toxicity ... Ye Pu Tao Gen is a regional wild-grape root used for inflamed swellings, toxic heat, and sore obstructive patterns rather than as a food-grape tonic.
• Moves Blood and eases pain after trauma ... internal and external traditions extend the root to bruising, strain, and lingering pain after injury.
• Some local practice uses it for damp-heat and liver-congestion patterns ... this includes jaundice or inflammatory digestive discomfort, though standardized species-specific documentation is limited.

Secondary Actions

• Market names around Ye Pu Tao Gen can overlap with other wild grape or ampelopsis roots, so this page stays specifically on the Vitis romanetii prompt identity and should not be assumed interchangeable with every wild-grape listing.
• This is best read as a regional folk root record rather than as a heavily standardized pharmacopoeial herb.

Classic Formulas

• Regional heat-toxin decoctions paired with Jin Yin Hua or Pu Gong Ying ... common folk logic when swollen painful lesions or inflamed heat patterns dominate.
• Trauma applications combined with stasis-moving herbs such as Yan Hu Suo or San Qi ... used when bruising and pain linger after injury.
• Local liver-damp pairings with Yin Chen or Zhi Zi ... occasional use when jaundice and inflammatory heat coexist.

Classical References

• Regional herb lists place wild grape roots in the broad heat-clearing and toxin-resolving family rather than among major tonic or blood-nourishing roots.
• Because species boundaries in trade can blur, source authentication matters more here than for better standardized roots.
