（《本经》中品）
【校正】自菜部移入此。
【释名】姜芥（《别录》）、荆芥（《吴普》）、鼠 （《本经》）。
弘景曰∶假苏方药不复用。
恭曰∶此即菜中荆芥也，姜芥声讹尔。先居草部，今录入菜部。
士良曰∶荆芥本草呼为假苏。假苏又别是一物。叶锐圆，多野生，以香气似苏，故呼为
苏。
颂曰∶医官陈巽言∶江左人谓假苏、荆芥实两物。苏恭以本草一名姜芥，荆姜声讹，谓
为荆芥，非矣。
时珍曰∶按《吴普本草》云∶假苏一名荆芥，叶似落藜而细，蜀中生啖之。普乃东汉末
人，去《别录》时未远，其言当不谬，故唐人苏恭祖其说。而陈士良、苏颂复启为两物之疑，
亦臆说尔。曰苏、曰姜、曰芥，皆因气味辛香，如苏、如姜、如芥也。
【集解】《别录》曰∶假苏生汉中川泽。
颂曰∶今处处有之，叶似落藜而细，初生香辛可啖，人取作生菜。古方稀用，近世医家
为要药，并取花实成穗者，曝干入药。又有胡荆芥，俗呼新罗荆芥。又有石荆芥，生山石间。
体性相近，入药亦同。
时珍曰∶荆芥原是野生，今为世用，遂多栽莳。二月布子生苗，炒食辛香。方茎细叶，
似独帚叶而狭小，淡黄绿色。八月开小花，作穗成房，房如紫苏房，内有细子如葶苈子状，
黄赤色，连穗收采用之。
【正误】藏器曰∶张鼎《食疗本草》，荆芥一名析 ，误矣。菥 自有本条，见草部。
时珍曰∶汪机《本草会编》，言假苏是白苏，亦误矣。白苏乃荏也。见后。

好古曰∶肝经气分药也。能搜肝气。
时珍曰∶荆芥入足厥阴经气分，其功长于祛风邪，散瘀血，破结气，消疮毒。盖厥阴乃
风木也，主血，而相火寄之，故风病血病疮病为要药。其治风也，贾丞相称为再生丹，许学
士谓有神圣功，戴院使许为产后要药，萧存敬呼为一捻金，陈无择隐为举卿古拜散，夫岂无
故而得此隆誉哉？按《唐韵》∶荆字，举卿切，芥字古拜切。盖二字之反切，隐语以秘其方
也。
又曰∶荆芥反鱼蟹河豚之说，本草医方并未言及，而稗官小说往往载之。按李廷飞《延
寿书》云∶凡食一切无鳞鱼，忌荆芥。食黄 鱼后食之，令人吐血，惟地浆可解。与蟹同
食，动风。又《蔡绦铁围山丛话》云∶予居岭峤，见食黄颡鱼犯姜芥者立死，甚于钩吻。洪
迈《夷坚志》云∶吴人魏几道，啖黄颡鱼羹，后采荆芥和茶饮。少顷足痒，上彻心肺，狂走，
足皮欲裂。急服药，两日乃解。陶九成《辍耕录》云∶凡食河豚，不可服荆芥药，大相反。
予在江阴见一儒者，因此丧命。《苇航纪谈》云∶凡服荆芥风药，忌食鱼。杨诚斋曾见一人
，立致于死也。时珍按∶荆芥乃日用之药，其相反如此，故详录之，以为警戒。又按《物类
相感志》言∶河豚用荆芥同煮，三五次换水，则无毒。其说与诸书不同，何哉？大抵养生者
，宁守前说为戒可也。

(Registered as Middle Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
[Correction] Moved from the Vegetable Section to here.
[Names] Jiangjie (from *Mingyi Bielu*), Jingjie (from *Wu Pu Bencao*), Shumi (from *Shennong Bencao Jing*).
Tao Hongjing stated: Jiasu is no longer used in prescriptions.
Su Gong stated: This is the Jingjie found in vegetables; "Jiangjie" is a phonetic error. It was originally listed in the Grass Section, now it is recorded in the Vegetable Section.
Chen Shiliang stated: Jingjie is called Jiasu in herbal texts. Jiasu is actually another substance. Its leaves are sharp and round, mostly wild-growing, and because its aroma resembles Perilla (Zisu), it is called Su.
Su Song stated: Medical official Chen Xun said: People in Jiangzuo consider Jiasu and Jingjie to be two different substances. Su Gong, because the herbal text has one name as Jiangjie, believed that "Jingjiang" was a phonetic error for Jingjie, which is incorrect.
Li Shizhen stated: According to *Wu Pu Bencao*: Jiasu is also named Jingjie; its leaves resemble those of *Xanthium strumarium* but are finer, and people in Shu eat them raw. Pu was a person at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not far removed from the time of *Mingyi Bielu*, so his words should not be erroneous; thus, Tang dynasty's Su Gong followed this theory. However, Chen Shiliang and Su Song revived the doubt that they are two different substances, which is also speculative. The names Su, Jiang, and Jie all refer to their pungent and fragrant aromas, resembling Perilla, Ginger, and Mustard respectively.
[Collection and Explanation] *Mingyi Bielu* states: Jiasu grows in the rivers and marshes of Hanzhong.
Su Song stated: It is now available everywhere; its leaves resemble those of *Xanthium strumarium* but are finer. When young, it is pungent and edible, and people pick it as a salad vegetable. It was rarely used in ancient formulas, but modern physicians regard it as an important medicine, using the flower spikes dried for medicinal use. There is also Hu Jingjie, commonly called Xinluo Jingjie. There is also Shi Jingjie, growing among rocks. Their properties and medicinal uses are similar.
Li Shizhen stated: Jingjie was originally wild, but due to its widespread use today, it is mostly cultivated. Seeds are sown in February, sprouting seedlings which can be stir-fried and eaten for their pungent aroma. The stem is square, leaves are slender, resembling those of *Artemisia capillaris* but narrower, pale yellow-green in color. Small flowers bloom in August, forming spikes; the fruits resemble those of Perilla, containing fine seeds like Sesame Mustard (*Tinglizi*), yellowish-red in color. The whole spike is harvested and used.
[Correction of Errors] Zang Qi stated: In Zhang Ding's *Shiliao Bencao*, Jingjie is named Xi Ming, which is incorrect. Xi Ming has its own entry, see the Grass Section.
Li Shizhen stated: Wang Ji's *Bencao Huibian* claims that Jiasu is Baishu (White Perilla), which is also incorrect. Baishu is Ren. See later.
Stems and Spikes
[Aroma and Flavor] Pungent, Warm, Non-toxic.
Meng Shen stated: Long-term consumption as a vegetable can induce thirst diseases and disturb the spirit of the five zang organs. It is incompatible with donkey meat and scaleless fish; see details under [Invention].
[Main Indications] Treats chills and fever, shu lou (lymphatic tuberculosis), luo li (scrofula) with sores, breaks up stagnant qi, eliminates blood stasis, and removes damp-bi (from *Shennong Bencao Jing*). Expels evil pathogens, relieves labor-induced thirst and cold wind, induces sweating; decocted juice is taken internally. Crushed and mixed with vinegar, applied externally to ding zhong (carbuncles) and toxic swellings (Zang Qi). Used alone to treat aversion to wind and thief-wind, facial paralysis (mouth and eye deviation), generalized numbness, heart deficiency with forgetfulness, enhances strength and essence, wards off evil toxic vapors, promotes smooth blood vessels, transmits insufficient qi of the five zang organs, and assists the spleen and stomach (Zhen Quan).
Treats blood-labor (chronic fatigue due to blood deficiency), stagnation of wind-qi causing fullness, back pain, spontaneous sweating, regulates men's jiaojie (podagra/gout), painful joints, and headache/dizziness from yin-yang toxic typhoid (Shi Liang). Benefits the five zang organs, aids digestion, directs qi downward, revives from intoxication. Can be eaten raw or cooked as a vegetable, or brewed as tea. Decocted with soybean ferment (Chi), it treats acute typhoid and induces sweating (*Rihua Bencao*). It is a key medicine for women's wind-blood disorders and skin sores (Su Song). For postpartum wind-stroke with body stiffness, powdered and taken with wine (Meng Shen). Disperses wind-heat, clears head and eyes, benefits throat, reduces swelling, treats neck stiffness, visual floaters, sores in the genital area, hematemesis, epistaxis, hematochezia, bloody dysentery, metrorrhagia, and hemorrhoidal fistulas (Li Shizhen).
[Invention] Li Dongyuan stated: Jingjie is pungent and bitter, with thin aroma and flavor, floating and ascending, belonging to Yang.
Li Gao stated: It is a herb for the qi level of the Liver channel. It can search out liver qi.
Li Shizhen stated: Jingjie enters the qi level of the Foot Jueyin (Liver) channel. Its efficacy lies in dispelling wind-pathogens, dispersing blood stasis, breaking up stagnant qi, and eliminating toxin sores. Since Jueyin belongs to Wind-Wood, governs blood, and houses Ministerial Fire, it is a key herb for wind diseases, blood diseases, and sores. Regarding its treatment of wind diseases, Prime Minister Jia called it "Rebirth Pill," Academician Xu said it has divine efficacy, Dean Dai praised it as a key postpartum herb, Xiao Cunjing called it "One Pinch of Gold," and Chen Wuyue hid it as "Juqing Gu Bai San." Did it gain such high praise without reason? According to *Tang Yun*: The character Jing is pronounced by "Juqing Qie," and Jie by "Gu Bai Qie." These are likely fanqie (reverse cuts) used as a cipher to keep the prescription secret.
Furthermore: The saying that Jingjie is incompatible with fish, crab, and pufferfish is not mentioned in herbal texts or medical formulas, but often appears in unofficial histories. Li Tingfei's *Yanshou Shu* states: When eating any scaleless fish, avoid Jingjie. Eating Jingjie after Yellow Catfish causes vomiting of blood, only earth slurry can antidote it. Eating with crab triggers wind. *Cai Tao's Tie Wei Shan Conghua* states: Living in Lingqiao, I saw someone die instantly after eating Yellow Catfish and touching Jiangjie, worse than Gouwen. Hong Mai's *Yijian Zhi* states: Wu person Wei Jidao ate Yellow Catfish soup, then drank tea with Jingjie. Soon his feet itched intensely up to heart and lungs, he ran madly, foot skin wanting to crack. Emergency medication resolved it in two days. Tao Jiu Cheng's *Chuo Geng Lu* states: When eating pufferfish, do not take Jingjie medicine; they are strongly incompatible. I saw a scholar in Jiangyin die from this. *Weihang Jitan* states: When taking Jingjie wind-dispersing drugs, avoid fish. Yang Chengzhai once saw a person die instantly from this. Li Shizhen notes: Jingjie is a daily-used drug; since it is so incompatible, I record it in detail as a warning. Also, *Wulei Xianggan Zhi* states: Boiling pufferfish with Jingjie and changing water three to five times renders it non-toxic. This differs from other books. Generally, health cultivators should adhere to the former warnings.
[Attached Formulas] Four old, twenty-seven new.
Head and Neck Wind Stiffness: After August, make pillows from Jingjie spikes and place them under the bed; remove on Lichun (Start of Spring) (*Qianjin Fang*).
Wind-Heat Headache: Jingjie spikes and Gypsum in equal parts, powdered. Take 2 qian each time,调 with tea (*Yonglei Qianfang*).
Wind-Heat Toothache: Jingjie root, Aconite root, and Scallion root in equal parts, decocted for frequent gargling. One hundred and twenty types of pediatric convulsions: Use 2 liang Jingjie spikes, 1 liang Bai Fan (half raw, half calcined), powdered, pillified with paste to size of millet seeds, coated with Cinnabar. Take 20 pills with ginger soup, twice daily (*Yixue Jicheng*). All types of hemiplegia and facial paralysis: Use 1 jin Qing Jingjie and 1 jin Qing Bohe, grind in a mortar, squeeze juice through raw silk, decoct into paste in porcelain, filter off one-third residue, dry the remaining two-thirds, powder, mix with paste to pill size of wutong seeds. Take 30 pills with warm water, morning and evening. Avoid wind-triggering foods (*Jingyan Houfang*).
Wind-Stroke with Locked Jaw: Powder Jingjie spikes, take 2 qian with wine, cures immediately, named Jingjie San. Jia Sidao said: This formula comes from *Zeng Gong Tanlu*, used previously with great effect. His son Shun, critically ill with this, recovered instantly upon taking it; truly a Rebirth Pill.
Postpartum Wind-Stroke: Hua Tuo's Yufeng San: Treats postpartum wind-stroke with locked jaw, opisthotonos (body arched like a bow), or postpartum blood syncope with unconsciousness, limb stiffness, or sudden collapse with vomiting/diarrhea濒死. Lightly roast Jingjie spikes, powder. Take 3 qian调 with Doulin Wine (soybeans soaked in wine) or child's urine. If locked jaw, pry teeth open to administer; if gums clenched, instill into nose. Effect is miraculous. Generally, postpartum warmth causes sweating and loose pores, making one susceptible to wind.
Li Shizhen stated: This formula is highly praised in various books. Yao Sengtan's *Jiyan Fang* uses wine administration, named Rusheng San, claiming immediate effect. Chen's formula is named Juqing Gu Bai San. Xiao Cunjing's formula uses ancient coins decocted, named Yini Jin. Wang Kuang's *Zhimi Fang* adds Danggui in equal parts, decocted in water. Xu Shumi's *Benshi Fang* states: This drug indeed has miraculous divine power. A woman slept long after childbirth, woke up dizzy as if drunk, unconscious. Doctors used this drug and Jiaojia San, stating she would sleep and scratch her head with left hand during sleep. It happened exactly as predicted. Zan Yin's *Chanbao Fang* states: This disease is often caused by anger injuring liver, sorrow depressing qi internally, or catching wind during delivery; urgent administration is needed. Dai Yuanli's *Zhengzhi Yaojue* names it Duxing San. Jia Sidao's *Yuesheng Suichao* calls it Rebirth Pill. For postpartum confusion due to anger and heat: Duxing San: Use Jingjie spikes, half roasted half raw on new tile, powder. Take 1-2 qian with child's urine. If opisthotonos, use Doulin Wine. Or powder, decoct with child's urine for excellent results. Jingjie is a key postpartum herb, while opisthotonos is an emergency for women; survival rate is only 1 or 2 in 10 (*Dai Yuanli's Yaojue*).
Postpartum Blood Syncope: Collapse, wind contraction濒死. Take dried Jingjie spikes, powder. Use 2 qian匕, mix with one cup child's urine, take hot. Immediate effect.

Passed down by Zhu Shouren of Wujin County, who could not turn his neck; reduced in a few days with this. If ulcerated/broken, cut a section of Jingjie root, boil in water, wash warm. After a while, when broken area turns purple-black, prick with needle to release blood, wash 3-4 times more to cure. Mix Zhangnao and Xionghuang in equal parts, powder,调 with sesame oil, paint on.
