Zi Cao is the purple herb. It's blood cooling, heat clearing function is particularly suited to relieving fire toxicity while venting rashes. It is a highly used dermatological herb, traveling to the heart and liver, that helps to clear damp heat from the skin, or can be applied topically for vaginal itching or burns (do they mean vaginal burns or burns in general? Hopefully, burns in general).
So how to remember that the purple herb is for fire toxicity, rash venting, and clearing damp heat from the skin? How about if you smear it all over yourself you will turn purplish, like you have a rash?
Oh, and the purple herb is simply sweet. Also, if you look it up on the Internet, you will mostly find pictures of this herb turned into a salve form. That kind of helps to remember that it is for the skin.
