[Musk Deer Antler]
Taste is sweet. Nature is salty. Non-toxic. Deer belongs to Yang, while Musk Deer belongs to Yin.
[Indications] Primarily treats wind-bi (pain and numbness in limbs and joints caused by wind pathogen), stops bleeding, and boosts energy. (from *Bielu*) Treats yin-deficiency consumptive disease (chronic weakness due to yin fluid depletion), all blood diseases causing soreness and pain in bones, sinews, waist, and knees; nourishes yin and tonifies the kidney.
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Kidney Meridian. It is a specific substance for tonifying true yin (yin essence of the kidney). (Its effects of nourishing yin and blood are identical to Deer Antler and Deer Horn.)
[Preliminary Discussion] Xu Zhicai said: Musk Deer Antler and Deer Horn belong to Yin; therefore, they treat insufficiency of true yin, consumptive fatigue, insensibility of bones, sinews, waist, and knees, and all conditions of blood deficiency.
[Contraindications] Miao Xiyong said: Contraindicated for those with deficient and scanty yang qi, emaciation, and excessive cold.
[Processing] Lei Gong said: For Musk Deer Antler, the best quality is found where there is yellow hair like golden threads at the root of the horn tip, accompanied by small side spikes and a pale white color. Meng Shen said: Whenever using...
[Mutton]
Taste is bitter and sweet. Nature is greatly hot. Non-toxic. It is generated by the qi of Fire and Earth; it ascends and belongs to Yang. It is contrary to Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma).
[Indications] Primarily treats abdominal urgency and heaviness, postpartum residual disorders, and head conditions involving exposure to great wind with sweating; treats consumptive cold, tonifies the middle and boosts qi, calms the mind and arrests fright. (from *Bielu*) Treats five labors (various chronic consumptive diseases), and strengthens yang.
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Spleen and Lung meridians. It is a substance that assists primordial yang and benefits consumptive disease. (Ginseng tonifies qi in the middle jiao; Mutton tonifies form on the exterior.)
[Preliminary Discussion] Li Dongyuan said: Mutton is a tangible substance capable of tonifying the qi of tangible muscles. Thus it is said that "tonification can remove weakness." Substances such as Renshen (Ginseng) and Mutton...
[Contraindications] Miao Xiyong said: If pregnant women consume it, it causes the child to have excessive heat, leading to bone-steaming tidal fever (a symptom common in tuberculosis), malaria, dysentery with heat, carbuncles and sores, xiaoke (wasting-thirst syndrome resembling diabetes), hematemesis, and gastric discomfort.
[Cow's Milk]
Taste is sweet. Nature is slightly cold. Non-toxic. It can ascend and descend; it belongs to Yin.
[Indications] Primarily tonifies extreme emaciation and weakness, relieves thirst. (from *Bielu*) Nourishes the Heart and Lungs, resolves heat toxicity, and moistens the skin. (from *Rihua*) Treats regurgitation and hot hiccups, tonifies consumptive damage, treats dysentery, and eliminates wasting-thirst symptoms. (from Meng Shen, Chen Cangqi)
[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Heart and Lung meridians. It is a substance that moistens dryness and generates fluids.
[Preliminary Discussion] Zhu Danxi said: For patients with regurgitation, food sticking, and dry, hard stool, it is advisable to swallow cow or sheep milk frequently, combined with the administration of Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) as the superior strategy. One must absolutely not use...
