恶(人参)
(Only rice vinegar can be used in medicine. The older it is, the better the effect.)
[Flavor and Properties]
Sour, bitter, warm, non-toxic. (It should not be consumed in excess. Excessive consumption damages the sinews and bones. It is not beneficial to men. It impairs one's complexion. Vinegar activates the properties of various herbs and should not be taken simultaneously with medicinal decoctions.)
[Indications]
Eliminates carbuncles and swellings. Disperses fluid retention. Kills pathogenic toxins. Regulates various herbs to enhance detoxification. Treats postpartum syncope due to blood loss. Resolves masses and hard accumulations.
Aids digestion. Kills severe toxins. Breaks up stagnant Qi, acid regurgitation from the heart, phlegm-fluids. Directs Qi downward and relieves irritability. Treats women's heart pain and blood-Qi disorders. Also treats bleeding, syncope caused by postpartum conditions or traumatic injuries (metal wounds). Kills all toxins found in fish, meat, and vegetables. Grinding Qingmuxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) with vinegar stops sudden heart pain and blood-Qi pain. Soaking Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) and holding it in the mouth treats mouth ulcers. Mixing Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) powder and applying it externally treats swellings and toxic sores. Decocting raw Dahuang internally is very effective for treating pi-accumulation (masses in the hypochondrium/abdomen). Disperses blood stasis. Treats jaundice and yellow sweat. For parturient women, it is excellent to frequently use hot charcoal to vaporize vinegar in the birthing room, as the sour flavor benefits the blood. Generally speaking, vinegar treats various sores, swellings, masses, abdominal pain, phlegm-fluid-blood diseases, and kills toxins from fish, meat, vegetables, and insect vapors. This is primarily due to its "astringent" nature. Furthermore, it possesses the function of dispersing blood stasis and resolving toxicity.
(It is the feces of the cold-bird [Trogopterus dung]. This material often contains sand and stones, making it extremely difficult to process. When used, it is ground into a fine powder, washed with wine to remove sand and stones, dried, and stored for use.)
[Flavor and Properties]
Sweet, warm, non-toxic. Enters the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. Its flavor and properties are dense; it belongs to "Yin within Yin," and is a herb that enters the Blood level.
[Indications]
Acts on the Blood level. The Liver governs the storage of Blood. Most pains belong to Wood (Liver). Most parasitic diseases arise from Wind. Therefore, this herb can treat blood diseases, disperse and harmonize blood, thereby stopping various pains. Treats fright and epilepsy. Eliminates malaria and dysentery. Resolves stagnation and transforms phlegm. Treats infantile malnutrition (Gan syndrome) and kills parasites. Treats blood bi (obstruction) and bloody eyes; these syndromes all belong to the Liver Meridian. Shixiao San (Let Go Powder) not only treats women's heart pain and blood pain, but also any abdominal, hypochondriac, lower abdominal pain, hernia, and pain caused by blood-Qi disorders during pregnancy or postpartum in men, women, the old, and the young, as well as metrorrhagia and menorrhagia. When other medicines fail, Shixiao San can still achieve success. It has been repeatedly used with verified results. Truly a miraculous formula of recent times.
