秘要》）
(From *Tang Bencao*)
[Collected Explanations] Su Gong stated: It originates from the Western Regions. The locals say it is made from the bile of various animals. Its appearance resembles old, deteriorated pills, with a reddish-black color. Hu merchants frequently bring it to the Central Plains, and it is highly prized. Trial use has proven effective.
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, bitter, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Malignant qi (evil pathogenic factors) among various diseases, external intrusive evil qi, and accumulations in the heart and abdomen (from *Tang Bencao*).
(From *Shiyi*)
[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen said: Beasts and livestock have aquatic and terrestrial origins, differing by region. Their properties vary in cold, heat, warmth, and coolness, and their toxicity varies. Chen's general categorization of all bloods into a single section makes the indications unclear; thus, the old classification is retained for reference. The specific indications for each type of blood are detailed in their respective sections.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, neutral.
[Indications] Supplements insufficient blood in the human body. For those suffering from blood exhaustion (Xue Ku), where skin scales appear and the face lacks luster, these conditions indicate deficiency, and raw blood consumption is appropriate. It also resolves poisoning from various medicines and fungi, relieves thirst, eliminates erysipelas (Dan Du), and removes irritability and heat (from Zang Qi).
(From *Shiyi*)
[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen said: Rotten bones need not be distinguished by species, but one should select bones known to be non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats bone-steaming fever (Gu Zheng). Rotten bones from the east wall: Grind them and mix with vinegar; apply to scars to make them disappear. Also applicable for applying to ulcers, wind sores, tinea, and white, rotting lesions; these bones should come from the east wall facing the sun (from Zang Qi). Treats wind-induced toothache and stops watery diarrhea (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Prescriptions] One old prescription, three new prescriptions. Bone-steaming fever: Collect various rotten bones, wash away soil residues, and boil in a pot; add five dou of peach branches and willow branches, boil until dry; then add three dou of thorns, boil until the liquid reduces by half; remove dregs, mix with sour grain water, and boil for three to five boils. Have the patient sit upright with hair loose, and pour the decoction over the head from the top; feeling heat is desirable. If chest oppression occurs, consume a small amount of cold congee; profuse sweating should ensue, expelling evil qi. After the sweat dries, powder the body and eat bean paste congee (from *Shiyi*). Incessant watery diarrhea: Mix equal parts of rotten bone ash and yeast from the sixth day of the sixth lunar month (stir-fried) into a fine powder; take one fang cun bi (a measure roughly equivalent to a tablespoon) with water. This is an imperial transmitted prescription (from Zhang Wenzhong's Formulas). Wind-induced toothache: Take rotten bones from under the east wall, shave them to the size of the painful tooth, roast them hot in ashes, and bite the affected area with the hot bone; replace when it cools (from *Waitai Miyao*).
