这就是鳖虱胡麻,专门治疗三十六种风邪。如果皮肤内有紫点,因风邪瘙痒导致骨骼散失(形容病情严重),配合生地黄、连翘、牡丹皮、赤芍等具有解毒凉血功效的药物,效果最好。
亚麻,味道甘平,性质温和,无毒,是入足厥阴肝经血分的药物。厥阴肝经主藏血,是风水之脏。凡是严重的疮癣,多由厥阴血热引起。亚麻味甘温,能益血并通行血脉,使血液自然流通,风邪自然消散,对于疠疾、疥癞、疮癣等病症均有疗效。若与金银花、连翘、生地黄、黄柏、萆薢、土茯苓、何首乌、苍术、木瓜、薏苡仁同用,可治疗湿热过盛导致的遍身脓疱疮,对各种恶疮有神奇疗效。
白油麻,取油以白色者为优,食用则以黑色者为良。生用时性寒,熟用时性热。白色者主治肺气,滋润五脏;黑色者通入肾经,滋润肾燥。用于治疗虚劳引起的滑肠泄泻,行风气,通血气,去除头风,滋润肌肤,解除三焦热毒,治疗一切恶疮,杀灭疥癣虫,润滑肛门干结的粪便。煎膏外用可生肌长肉,消除痈肿止痛。如果生吃,性质寒冷,容易扰动气机;如果经过煎炼熟食,其热性无异于火,不宜长期食用,否则会消耗人的肌肉。如同人吃的食物过夜后,必须重新加热煮熟才能食用一样。
这就是大麻仁,禀受土气而生,味道甘平,无毒,性质最滑利。甘味能补中焦,归入手阳明大肠经、足阳明胃经和足太阴脾经。主要治疗胃热导致的大便困难,使其滑利下行;破除积血并恢复血脉,通利小便,再次滋润大肠,益血补阴,缓和脾气,滋润燥热。因此张仲景在脾约丸中使用它。然而,多吃会损伤血脉,滑泄精气,导致阳痿,妇女多吃易引发带下病,因为其性质滑利走窜而不守固。产后汗多且大便秘结者,服用麻子粥最为稳妥,不仅限于产妇。凡是老人各种虚证和风秘都适宜使用。用法:取大麻子仁、紫苏子各二合,洗净研细,再加水研磨取汁一盏,分两次煮粥饮用。麻麻子仁粥,治疗风水病导致腹部肿大,腰膝沉重疼痛,无法转动。用法:取冬麻子半升研碎,用水过滤取汁,加入粳米二合,煮成稀粥,加入葱、椒、盐、豆豉调味,空腹食用。《夏子益奇疾方》记载:截肠怪病,大肠头脱出寸余,痛苦不堪,干燥后会自行脱落,随后又长出,名为截肠病,若肠子全部脱出则无法救治。只要在初觉截肠时用容器盛放脂麻油坐浸其中,并饮服大麻子汁数升即可痊愈。
火麻子,其骨可作火炬芯,皮可用来缝制布匹,种子入药。炮制修治宜精细。能益气补中,催生下乳,去除中风出汗,治疗皮肤顽痹,滋润大肠,缓解风热结涩导致的大便困难,止消渴,使小便通畅,破除积血使血脉恢复,胎位不正横生宜顺产,产后余疾总除。与菖蒲、鬼臼制成丸剂,吞服百日,能见神鬼;与豆子、头发一起放在井边祝祷,能辟瘟魔。入脾经和大肠经,功效专于益阴润燥。
This is *Bieshi Huma* (Chinese Hemp Seed), specifically used to treat the "thirty-six winds" (a collective term for various wind-pathogen diseases). If there are purple spots within the skin, and itching caused by wind pathogens leads to severe bone degeneration (describing a critical condition), it is most effective when combined with herbs possessing detoxifying and cooling-blood properties, such as *Shengdi Huang* (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), *Lianqiao* (Forsythiae Fructus), *Danpi* (Moutan Cortex), and *Chishao* (Paeoniae Radix Rubra).
*Yama* (Flaxseed) has a sweet flavor and warm nature, is non-toxic, and enters the blood aspect of the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. The Jueyin meridian stores blood and is considered the organ of wind and water. Severe sores and tinea are often caused by heat in the Jueyin blood. Since *Yama* is sweet and warm, it benefits the blood and promotes circulation; thus, the blood flows naturally, wind pathogens disperse, and it treats conditions like leprosy, scabies, leech-like sores, and tinea. When combined with *Jinyinhua* (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), *Lianqiao* (Forsythiae Fructus), *Shengdi Huang* (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), *Huangbai* (Phellodendri Cortex), *Bixie* (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma), *Tufuling* (Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma), *Heshouwu* (Polygoni Multiflori Radix), *Cangzhu* (Atractylodis Rhizoma), *Mugua* (Chaenomelis Fructus), and *Yiyiren* (Coicis Semen), it treats excessive damp-heat causing pustular sores all over the body, acting miraculously on various malignant sores.
*Baiyouma* (White Oil Hemp): For oil extraction, white seeds are superior; for dietary use, black seeds are better. Raw usage has a cold nature, while cooked usage has a hot nature. White seeds treat lung qi, moistening the five zang organs; black seeds enter the Kidney meridian, moistening kidney dryness. It treats deficiency consumptive diseases with loose bowels, moves wind qi, unblocks blood qi, removes head wind, moistens skin, resolves heat toxins of the Sanjiao, treats all malignant sores, kills scabies and tinea parasites, lubricates hard feces in the anus, and when decocted into ointments, generates flesh and stops pain from carbuncles. If eaten raw, its nature is cold and it disturbs qi; if fried or refined for food, its heat is comparable to fire, so it should not be consumed long-term as it may consume muscle tissue. Just as overnight food must be reheated thoroughly before eating, hemp seeds require proper cooking.
This is *Dama Ren* (Cannabis Seed), born of Earth's qi, with a sweet and neutral flavor, non-toxic, and possessing the slipperiest nature. Sweetness tonifies the middle jiao, entering the Hand and Foot Yangming Stomach and Large Intestine meridians, and the Foot Taiyin Spleen meridian. It mainly treats constipation due to stomach heat, promoting slippery downward movement; breaks up accumulated blood and restores blood vessels, promotes urination, re-moistens the large intestine, benefits blood and yin, soothes the spleen, and moistens dryness. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing uses it in *Pi Yue Wan* (Spleen Restriction Pill). However, excessive consumption damages blood vessels, causes leakage of essence and qi, leads to impotence, and women who consume too much may develop leukorrhea, because its slippery nature moves without staying put. For postpartum patients with excessive sweating and severe constipation, *Mazi Zhou* (Hemp Seed Porridge) is the safest remedy, suitable not only for postpartum women but also for elderly people with various deficiencies and wind-type constipation. Usage: Take two *he* (approx. 200ml) of *Dama Ren* (Cannabis Seed) and *Zisu Zi* (Perillae Fructus), wash clean, grind finely, add water to extract juice (one cup), divide into two doses, and cook into porridge to drink. *Mama Ren Zhou* (Hemp Seed Porridge) treats wind-water disease causing abdominal distension, heavy and painful waist and knees that cannot move. Usage: Take half a *sheng* (approx. 1 liter) of winter hemp seeds, grind, filter water to obtain juice, add two *he* of *Jingmi* (Oryza Sativa Germen), cook into thin porridge, add green onion, pepper, salt, and fermented soybeans (*Douchi*), and eat on an empty stomach. *Xia Ziyi Qiji Fang* records: "Intestinal Truncation Disease," where the rectum protrudes more than one cun, causing severe pain; if it dries, it falls off spontaneously, then grows back again. If the entire intestine protrudes, it is incurable. However, at the initial stage, sitting in a container filled with Sesame Oil allows absorption, and drinking several cups of Cannabis Seed juice will cure it.
*Huomazi* (Fire Hemp Seed): Its stems can serve as torch wicks, its bark can be woven into cloth, and its seeds are used medicinally. Processing requires precision. It benefits qi and tonifies the middle, induces labor and lactation, treats wind-stroke with sweating, cures stubborn skin numbness, moistens the large intestine, relieves constipation due to wind-heat, stops thirst, promotes urination, breaks up accumulated blood to restore vessels, facilitates normal delivery in cases of malpresentation, and eliminates residual postpartum ailments. Combined with *Changpu* (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) and *Gui Bai* (Artemisiae Argyi Folium) into pills, taken for 100 days, one can see spirits; mixed with beans and hair, placed near a well with incantations, it wards off plague demons. It enters the Spleen and Large Intestine meridians, with functions specialized in benefiting yin and moistening dryness.
