[Tiger Bone]
Pungent in flavor. Slightly hot in nature. Non-toxic. It is an animal of the West, belonging to Metal. "Wind follows the tiger": Wind belongs to Wood; Tiger belongs to Metal; thus Wood is controlled by Metal. Its nature is ascending and Yang.
[Indications] Primarily eliminates evil qi, kills ghostly pestilence toxins (Guizhu), treats fright, and manages malignant sores and scrofula (Shu Li). The skull bone is particularly effective. (From *Bielu*) [Tibia] Treats toxicity affecting tendons and bones, alleviates pain, and calms palpitations. (Meng Shen) Brightens vision and removes nebulae. (Li Shizhen)
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Kidney Meridian and concurrently enters the Liver Meridian. It is a substance that searches out wind and strengthens bones.
[Preliminary Discussion] Li Gao stated: When using the tibia, it is because all the tendons and strength of the tiger reside within the anterior tibias. Its nature and qi are stored there; hence, it is used in medicine. Dang Ao noted: Li Shizhen's view is extremely correct. Treating diseases must follow their categories; one cannot generally assume the tibia is always the best part.
[Contraindications] Miao Xiyong stated: For cases where blood is insufficient to nourish the tendons, resulting in tendon and bone pain, it should be used sparingly.
[Processing] Lei Xiao stated: When processing tiger bone, crush it, remove the marrow, coat with butter, wine, or vinegar, and roast until yellow. When processing tiger eyes, select authentic ones and use raw sheep...
[Musk]
Pungent in flavor. Warm in nature. Non-toxic. Descending. Yin within Yang. Avoid garlic.
[Indications] Primarily repels evil qi, kills spirit entities, treats warm malaria, gu poison, epilepsy and spasms, and expels three types of parasites. (From *Benjing*) Treats various ominous evil qi, ghost qi, and sudden onset of evil pathogens causing abdominal pain and other symptoms related to blood and pain.
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Spleen Meridian and circulates through the Twelve Meridians. It is a substance that opens orifices and benefits cavities. (It moves swiftly and flies upward, penetrating internally to the bone marrow and externally through the skin and hair.)
[Preliminary Discussion] Li Dongyuan stated: Musk enters the Spleen to treat flesh; Calculus Bovis (Niuhuang) enters the Liver to treat tendons; Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian) enters the Kidney to treat bones. Furthermore, musk is suitable for wind diseases located in the bone marrow... involving clear oil and musk... if various... (The text here appears fragmented or corrupted in transmission, referring to the suitability of musk for deep-seated wind conditions).
[Contraindications] Miao Xiyong stated: For diseases belonging to deficiency, the method should be tonification; generally, do not use it.
Above: Animal Category of Xuanji Formulas
[Manis Pentadactyla / Pangolin Scales]
Salty in flavor. Slightly cold in nature. Toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats five types of evil pathogens causing fright, crying, and sorrow. Burned into ash, mixed with wine or water as a square-inch measure, it treats scrofula ulcers resembling ant holes. (From *Bielu*) Treats wind-cold-damp bi syndrome and unblocks meridians.
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Liver Meridian, concurrently entering the Stomach and Large Intestine Meridians. It is a substance with strong penetrating properties. (As a connecting agent, its function specializes in dispersing and unblocking meridians to reach the disease site.)
[Preliminary Discussion] Li Zhongnan stated: Its nature specializes in moving and dispersing. Stop taking it once the disease is addressed; do not overdose.
[Contraindications] Miao Xiyong stated: Contraindicated when carbuncles and sores have already resolved. Also contraindicated in smallpox where primordial qi is insufficient and cannot rise and erupt.
[Processing] Wang Ang stated: When processing, either calcine, burn, roast with butter, roast with vinegar, soak in child's urine, fry in oil, stir-fry with earth, or stir-fry with clam powder...
