[Niu Huang (Calculus Bovis)]
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature. Primarily treats epilepsy induced by fright (Jing Xian), mania and spasms caused by alternating chills and fever with excessive heat, expels evil pathogens, and drives away malevolent spirits. Grows in plains and marshes.
Wu Pu states: Niu Huang is bitter and non-toxic. It is found in cattle that groan when entering or exiting (The Taiping Yulan records this as roaring). It has a glow at night (The Taiping Yulan notes it glows when seeing at night) and is located within the horns; after the cow dies, it resides in the gallbladder, resembling an egg yolk (Note from The Book of Later Han, Biography of Yan Du).
Mingyi Bie Lu states: Produced in the Jin region. Obtained from cattle, it should be dried in the shade for one hundred days to maintain its dryness, avoiding exposure to sunlight or moonlight.

Sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature. Primarily treats wind-bi syndrome causing numbness and insensitivity, tendon stiffness, accumulations and masses in the five zang organs and abdomen, emaciation due to alternating chills and fever, head sores and alopecia, and facial hyperpigmentation.
