【释名】婆罗勒。
时珍曰∶婆罗得,梵言重生果也。
【集解】 曰∶婆罗得

拔白生黑∶婆罗勒十颗(去皮,取汁),熊脂二两,白马 膏(炼过)一两,生姜(炒)
一两,母丁香半两,二味为末,和匀。每拔白点之,揩令入肉,即生黑者。此严中丞所用方

(《别录》下品)
【释名】榉柳(《衍义》)、鬼柳。
时珍曰∶其树高举,其木如柳,故名。山人讹为鬼柳。郭璞注《尔雅》作柜柳,云似柳,
皮可煮饮也。
【集解】弘景曰∶榉树山中处处有之。皮似檀、槐,叶如栎、槲。
人多识之。
恭曰∶所在皆有,多生溪涧水侧。叶似樗而狭长。树大者连抱,高数仞,皮极粗浓,殊

榆钱之状。乡人采其叶为甜茶。

(Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Names] Bolale.
Li Shizhen stated: "Bolade" is the Sanskrit term for "fruit of rebirth."
[Collected Explanations]
Li Shizhen stated: According to Wang Tao's *Waitai Miyao*, Bolale resembles castor seeds; however, when scratched with a fingernail, juice exudes. This is that plant.
[Properties and Flavor] Pungent, Warm, Non-toxic.
[Indications] Cold qi accumulation forming masses, warming the Middle Jiao, tonifying the waist and kidneys, breaking up abdominal masses (Zhangji), and dyeing eyebrows and hair black (Chen Cangqi).
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
To remove white hair and promote black growth: Ten pods of Bolale (peeled, juice extracted), two liang of bear fat, one liang of white horse grease (refined), one liang of ginger (stir-fried), and half a liang of mother clove. Grind the latter two into powder and mix evenly. After plucking the white hairs, apply this mixture and rub it into the skin; black hair will grow. This is the formula used by Censor Yan Zhongcheng. (From Meng Shen's *Jin Xiao Fang*)
(*Mingyi Bielu*, Lower Grade)
[Names] Juliu (*Bencao Yanyi*), Guiliu.
Li Shizhen stated: The tree stands tall, and its wood resembles willow, hence the name. Mountain people erroneously call it Guiliu. Guo Pu's annotation of *Erya* writes it as Guilou, stating it resembles willow, and its bark can be boiled for drinking.
[Collected Explanations] Tao Hongjing stated: Julu trees are found everywhere in the mountains. The bark resembles sandalwood and locust, and the leaves resemble oak and hickory. Most people recognize them.
Su Gong stated: They are present everywhere, often growing by streams and ravines. The leaves are similar to ailanthus but narrower and longer. Large trees require two people to embrace and reach several zhang in height. The bark is extremely thick and rough, bearing no resemblance to sandalwood.
Kou Zongshi stated: Julu wood is now called Juliu by people. Its leaves are neither truly willow nor locust. The largest trees are five or six zhang high and require two or three people to embrace. They are abundant in Hunan and Hubei, but they are not considered fine timber, unsuitable for making vessels; the tender bark is used for edging baskets and winnowing trays.
Li Shizhen stated: Julu wood has a reddish-purple hue and is excellent for making chests and tables. Zheng Qiao's *Tongzhi* states: Julu belongs to the elm family but has a fierce nature, and its fruit resembles elm coins. Locals harvest its leaves to make sweet tea.
[Preparation]
Lei Xiao stated: Do not use three- or four-year-old trees as they lack potency; those grown for over twenty years are superior. Peel off the coarse bark, cut into fine shreds, steam from Si hour to Wei hour, then dry in the sun for use.
[Properties and Flavor] Bitter, Greatly Cold, Non-toxic.
[Indications] Epidemic headache, heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines (*Mingyi Bielu*). Boiled and drunk in summer to clear heat (Tao Hongjing). Commonly used as a decoction to treat edema and stop dysentery (Su Gong). Calms the fetus, stops bleeding...
[Attached Prescriptions] One old, four new.
Generalized edema: Decoct Julu tree bark and drink daily. (*Taiping Shenghui Fang*).
Toxic vapors attacking the abdomen, swelling and pain in hands and feet: Decoct Julu tree bark with hickory bark, reduce to a syrup-like consistency, and dissolve in a strong decoction of birch bark. (*Zhouhou Beiji Fang*).
Gu poison causing bloody stool: One chi of Julu bark, five cun of reed rhizome, two sheng of water. Boil to one sheng and take at once. The gu parasite should be expelled. (*Qianjin Fang*).
Pediatric dysentery with blood: Twenty fen of Liangzhou Julu bark (roasted), twelve fen of rhinoceros horn, three sheng of water. Boil to one sheng and divide into three doses until cured. (*Gujin Luyan* formula).
Flying blood red eyes: Two liang of Julu bark (coarse bark removed, chopped), seven ancient coins, one and a half sheng of water. Decoct to seven ge, strain, and wash the eyes while hot, twice daily. (*Shengji Zonglu*).
Leaves
