Da Ji (Herba Cirsii Japonici) and Xiao Ji (Herba Cirsii) are interchangeably
used in Hong Kong. For Da Ji, both aerial part and roots are used
simultaneously. These two herbs are listed separately in the C.P. and
differentiation should be made during application. However, according to
the literature, the functions of these herbs are the same.
