这就是槟榔的果皮。它的气味和功效与槟榔大致相同，但槟榔药性猛烈，破气作用最快；大腹皮药性缓和，下气作用稍慢。味道苦、辛，微温，无毒。归足阳明胃经、足太阴脾经。其辛温之气，是通行气机、降逆气、清除湿热郁结所致水肿胀满的药物。鸩鸟（一种毒鸟）多聚集在槟榔树上，凡使用此药，宜先洗去黑色的汁液，再用酒清洗，然后用大豆蒸过后再洗，晒干后方可使用。
大腹皮，下行膈间实气效果极佳，消除浮肿非常迅速，是宽胸消胀、去除水气的关键药物。然而，体质虚弱者不宜使用。它能疏理冷热各种气滞，通利大小肠，止霍乱、痰膈、醋心（泛酸），治疗心腹及大肠痈毒，实证适宜，虚证也需禁忌。凡是形状像馒头的，称为大腹子；形状像鸡心的，称为槟榔。
主治（参考《痘疹合参》）：消除腹胀，去除浮肿，散发毒瓦斯。药体质轻而浮，味咸而有收敛之性，因此能走表消肿，导水疏气为用。然而，脾虚导致水湿泛滥者禁用。
禀受木气而兼有火、金的性质，所以味道辛、微咸，气温，有小毒。归足厥阴肝经、手太阴肺经、足阳明胃经。辛温能发散，咸能软坚散结，因此是疏散风邪、豁除痰浊、破除症瘕、祛除痹阻、通利窍道、通关开窍的药物。
皂荚长板荚，能理气疏风。猪牙皂能治疗牙齿积滞，可制成散剂或熬成膏剂，不宜做成丸剂或煎液。外敷可治肿痛疼痛，内服可致搐鼻喷嚏。加入煅烧过的白矾，即名为“稀涎散”，善于涌吐风痰。拌入炼蜜可捏成栓剂（导箭），用于排出结聚的粪便，杀灭劳虫精物，主治风痹、死肌，宣通壅滞，搜风逐痰，通利窍道，治疗头风流泪，破除症瘕，堕胎。然而药性极其尖利，无闭不开，无坚不破，所以一切口噤不开的情况依赖它作为急救的神丹。如果是类中风，由于阴虚引起的，以及孕妇，都应当禁忌。皂角刺治疗溃疡，能引导其他药物直达溃烂处发挥作用，其性锐利，是治疗痈疽、妒乳、疗肿尚未溃破时的神药。凡是痈疽已经溃破，不宜服用，孕妇也忌用。用米醋熬煮嫩刺，涂抹治疗癣疾有效，也是取其引药达病所之意。皂角子，气味与皂荚相同，炒后捣碎去掉红色的外皮，用水浸泡变软，煮熟后用糖渍食之，可疏导五脏风热壅滞，以及治疗大肠虚秘、瘰疬、恶疮肿毒。
皂角刺，主治（参考《痘疹合参》）：解热毒。治疗痘疮平塌不起时用它来引导托里透脓的各种药物，直达疮所，使痘疮高耸灌脓。痘后痈肿，也依靠它引导诸药，直至毒所，促使峻猛溃脓。
肥皂核，生长在阳气旺盛的夏季，成熟于秋季金旺之时，得火、金之气，所以味道辛、气温，有毒。凡是肠胃有垢腻，秽恶之气郁结在中焦，就会在外表现为瘰疬、恶疮肿毒、泄泻等症。此药专门能荡涤垢腻，宣通秽积，肠胃洁净，则各种病症自然消除。治疗瘰疬，用肥皂去掉核，将斑蝥放入其中扎紧，蒸去斑蝥的毒性，再加入贝母、天花粉、玄参、甘草、牛蒡子、连翘制成丸剂。每次服用一钱，白开水送下，服药后腹痛，不必忧虑，这是药力追毒的缘故。独核仁同猪胰子、金银花、皂角刺、芭蕉根、雪里红、五加皮、土茯苓、皂角子、白僵蚕、木瓜、蝉蜕、白鲜皮一起治疗梅毒（霉疮）。如果久病体虚者，加入人参、黄芪、薏苡仁，兼治结毒。治疗肠风下血，单独取肥皂烧存性研末，糊丸，米饮送下。治疗腊黎头疮（一种头部疮疡），用独核肥皂去掉核，填入砂糖，并加入巴豆两枚，扎定后用盐泥封固，烧存性，再加入槟榔、轻粉六七分，研匀，香油调匀涂抹。先用汤洗净患处，擦干后再涂，一夜见效。
This is the pericarp of Areca nut (Binglang). Its flavor and therapeutic actions are roughly similar to those of Areca nut (Binglang), but Areca nut has a potent nature and breaks Qi most rapidly, whereas Da Fu Pi (Areca Pericarpium) has a mild nature and descends Qi slightly slower. It tastes bitter and pungent, is slightly warm, and is non-toxic. It enters the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian. Its pungent-warm qi makes it an herb that promotes circulation, descends rebellious Qi, and resolves damp-heat stagnation leading to edema and distension. Vulture birds (Zhen Niao) often gather on Areca nut trees; when using this herb, one should first wash away the black juice, then wash with wine, steam with soybeans and wash again, dry in the sun before use.
Da Fu Pi (Areca Pericarpium) is excellent for descending excess Qi from the diaphragm, very rapid in reducing edema, and is a key herb for widening the chest, relieving distension, and removing water qi. However, it should not be used for patients with deficiency syndromes. It can regulate various cold and hot Qi stagnations, unblock the Large Intestine and Small Intestine, stop cholera-like vomiting and diarrhea, phlegm obstruction, and acid regurgitation. It treats carbuncles and toxins in the heart, abdomen, and Large Intestine. It is suitable for excess syndromes but contraindicated in deficiency syndromes. Those shaped like steamed buns are called Da Fu Zi (Areca Seed); those shaped like chicken hearts are called Binglang (Areca Nut).
Indications (referencing *Dou Zhen He Can*): Eliminates abdominal distension, removes edema, disperses toxic vapors. The substance is light and floating, tastes salty and has astringent properties, thus it moves outward to reduce swelling and guides water to unblock Qi. However, it is prohibited for those with Spleen deficiency leading to water flooding.
It inherits the nature of Wood while combining Fire and Metal, so its taste is pungent and slightly salty, its temperature is warm, and it has slight toxicity. It enters the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian, Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Pungent-warmness can disperse, and saltiness can soften hardness, making it an herb that disperses wind, resolves phlegm, breaks masses, removes bi-syndrome, unblocks orifices, and opens passages.
Sao Jia Chang Ban Jia (Long Pod of Gleditsia Sinensis) regulates Qi and disperses wind. Zhu Ya Jia (Pig Tooth Pod of Gleditsia Sinensis) treats dental accumulation and can be made into powders or pastes, but not pills or decoctions. Topical application treats swelling and pain; internal use induces sneezing via nasal irritation. When calcined white alum (Fan Shi) is added, it is named Xi Xian San (Thin Saliva Powder), which is good at inducing vomiting to expel wind-phlegm. Mixed with refined honey, it can be molded into suppositories (Dao Jian) to expel accumulated feces, kill parasites, treat wind-bi and necrotic tissue, promote stagnation resolution, search out wind and drive out phlegm, unblock orifices, treat cephalalgia with tearing, break masses, and induce abortion. However, its nature is extremely sharp and penetrating, opening all closures and breaking all hardness. Therefore, it is relied upon as a miraculous emergency pill for any case of lockjaw. If stroke-like conditions are due to Yin deficiency, or in pregnant women, it is strictly contraindicated. Sao Jiao Ci (Gleditsia Sinensis Spina) treats ulcers and can guide other herbs directly to the ulcerated area to achieve success. Its nature is sharp and piercing, making it a miraculous herb for treating carbuncles, mastitis, and furuncles that have not yet suppurated. Once a carbuncle has ruptured, it should not be taken internally, and it is also contraindicated in pregnancy. Boiling young spines in rice vinegar and applying them topically is effective for tinea, utilizing the principle of guiding herbs to the lesion. Sao Jiao Zi (Gleditsia Sinensis Semen) has the same flavor and aroma as the pod. After stir-frying, pounding, and removing the red skin, soak in water until soft, boil thoroughly, and eat with sugar syrup. It guides and unblocks wind-heat stagnation in the Five Zang organs and treats Large Intestine deficiency constipation, scrofula, malignant sores, and swelling/toxins.
Sao Jiao Ci (Gleditsia Sinensis Spina), Indications (referencing *Dou Zhen He Can*): Resolves heat toxins. Used to guide interior-tonifying and pus-promoting herbs to reach the lesion when treating flat measles/rashes, causing them to rise and fill with pus. For post-measles carbuncles, it is also used to guide herbs to the toxin site to promote rapid suppuration and rupture.
Fei Zao He (Soap Nut Kernel) grows during the peak of Yang energy in summer and matures in the Metal month of autumn, obtaining Fire and Metal qi. Thus, its taste is pungent, temperature is warm, and it is toxic. Whenever there is greasy filth in the intestines and stomach, and foul qi stagnates in the middle jiao, external manifestations such as scrofula, malignant sores, swelling/toxins, and dysentery with pus and blood occur. This herb specifically purges greasy filth and promotes the unblocking of foul accumulations. Once the intestines and stomach are clean, various symptoms naturally resolve. To treat scrofula, remove the kernel from the soap nut, place Mylabris (Ban Mao) inside, tie tightly, steam to remove the toxicity of Mylabris, then add Fritillaria (Bei Mu), Trichosanthes Root (Tian Hua Fen), Scrophularia (Xuan Shen), Licorice (Gan Cao), Arctii Fructus (Niu Bang Zi), and Forsythia (Lian Qiao) to make pills. Take 1 qian each time, washed down with plain water. Abdominal pain after taking the medicine need not be worried about; this is due to the drug's power driving out toxins. For syphilis (Mei Chuang), the single-kernel variety mixed with pig pancreas, Honeysuckle (Jin Yin Hua), Gleditsia Spine (Sao Jiao Ci), Banana Root (Ba Jiao Gen), Pickled Mustard Greens (Xue Li Hong), Acanthopanax (Wu Jia Pi), Smilax Glabra (Tu Fu Ling), Gleditsia Seed (Sao Jiao Zi), White Bombyx (Bai Jiang Can), Papaya (Mu Gua), Cicada Slough (Chan Tui), and Dictamnus Root Bark (Bai Xian Pi) is used. For chronic deficiency, add Ginseng (Ren Shen), Astragalus (Huang Qi), and Coix Seed (Yi Yi Ren) to also treat condyloma-like lesions. For intestinal wind bleeding, burn the single-kernel soap nut until carbonized, grind into powder, make into pills with paste, and take with rice drink. For "La Li" head sores, use the single-kernel soap nut, remove the kernel, fill with rock sugar and two Croton seeds (Ba Dou), tie securely, seal with salt mud, burn until carbonized, then add Areca Nut (Bing Lang) and Calomel (Qing Fen) 6-7 fen, grind evenly, mix with sesame oil, and apply. First wash the area with hot water, dry it, then apply. Effect is seen overnight.
