Each of them is listed in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China under the different articles [Lubeimu (炉貝) is included in Chuanbeimu (川貝母)]. Beimu is an expectorant drug and is divided into two groups. One of them consists of Zhebeimu (浙貝母) and Hubeibeimu (湖北貝母). The other consists of Chuanbeimu (川貝母), Lubeimu (炉貝), Yibeimu (伊貝母) and Pingbeimu (平貝母). The former is used in the treatment of cough, scrofula, carbuncle and wound poison. The latter is used for cough caused by deficiency of Yin or heat in the lung. Japanese Beimu is the bulb of "Amigasayuri (baimo)" which is the same kind as Zhebeimu (浙貝母). It is cultivated in Nara Prefecture and also called "Yamato-baimo". Beimu must not be used with crude drugs of Aconite root.
