猪肤，就是猪皮。张仲景治疗足少阴肾经下利（腹泻），伴有咽喉疼痛、胸部胀满、心烦不安的症状时，使用了猪肤汤。方中用猪皮一斤，加水一斗，煮至五升，取汁液，加入白蜜一升，白粉（米粉）五合，熬至香气溢出后分次服用。这是利用其性味甘寒，药气首先入肾经，以解除少阴经的客热；加入白蜜是为了润燥除烦，加入白粉是为了益气止泻。猪属于水畜，在十二地支中对应亥，在八卦中对应坎卦。猪肉虽然气味寒凉，但多吃会导致突然肥胖，其性能导致湿气内生并生成痰饮，容易引发风热之邪，几乎没有益处。悬蹄是指猪蹄甲中悬起不接触地面的部分，味道咸寒，无毒，归入手阳明大肠经和足阳明胃经，咸寒之性能清除肠胃的湿热，因此主治五种痔疮潜伏的热邪以及肠痈内部腐蚀。配合牛角腮、槐角子、[缺失药材]皮、象牙末、金头蜈蚣、蛀竹屑、明矾、地榆、青黛、白蜡，可以治疗通肠痔漏，使漏管自行排出。又用于治疗痘疹后遗症导致的目翳（角膜云翳）半年以上的情况，用猪悬蹄三两（用瓦瓶密封固定）、蝉蜕一两、羚羊角三钱研为细末，每岁服用一字，三岁儿童服用二钱，温水送服。每日三次，一个月可见疗效。猪的四只脚，味道甘、咸，气寒，主要功效是促进乳汁分泌，治疗因打伤或挫伤导致的败疮。外科常用的猪蹄汤，是清洗痈疽溃疡的重要药物。人乳归属于阳明经，脉象虚弱则乳汁不通。猪脚能补益阳明经的气血，所以能促进乳汁分泌。外伤败疮，多由血热引起，猪脚甘咸而寒，所以能凉血止痛，煮汤清洗溃疡，也是这个原理。猪肾，味道咸，气冷，能泄肾气，肾虚寒的人不宜食用。《神农本草经》说：主治调理肾气，通利膀胱，这是借用同类之气来引导药效，不说“补”而说“理”，其中含义深远。肾与膀胱互为表里，所以又能通利膀胱。现在的人认为它能补肾，肆意食用反而大大损害身体。日华子说：长期食用使人不育。孟诜说：长期食用损伤肾脏。大概因为猪被宰杀时，惊恐之气进入心脏，断绝之气归于肾脏，病后尤其不要多吃，因为其性寒冷而没有生发之气。猪胆，主治伤寒引起的热渴。因为胆汁味苦气寒，总括来说就是“热邪淫乱于内，用寒性药来胜它，用苦味药来泄它”，所以主治伤寒热渴。另外张仲景的胆导法，用猪胆汁加少许醋，灌入肛门中，通便效果极佳。加入猪牙皂角的细末二分，搅拌均匀速度更快，这是利用酸苦之性，益阴润燥并泻下大便。又用于治疗少阴病下利不止，四肢厥冷无脉，干呕心烦的情况，用白通汤加入猪胆汁为主治，使药性同气相求而没有格拒的隐患，这就是“寒因热用，热因寒用”的道理。葱白四茎、干姜一两、生附子一枚、米三升，煮成一升，加入人尿五合，猪胆汁一合，分次服用。猪肚，主要功效是止渴利尿，补中益气。猪肚属土，味道甘，气微温，是猪身上没有毒害的部分，是补脾胃的重要物品，脾胃得到补益则中气充足，口渴和下利自然停止。日华子说：“主治补虚损。”苏颂说：“主治骨蒸劳热。”血脉不行，都是取其补益脾胃的作用，那么精血自然生成，虚劳自愈，根本稳固了五脏就都安定了。《普济方》记载：治疗水泻不止，用猪皮一枚，煮烂，加入平胃散，捣成丸剂服用有效。张仲景方：猪肚黄连丸，治疗消渴症，用猪肚一枚，装入黄连末五两、栝蒌根、白粱米各四两、知母三两、麦门冬二两，缝合后蒸熟捣烂制成丸剂，梧桐子大小，每次服用三十丸，米汤送下。《千金方》记载：温养胎气，胎儿到九个月时，斟酌处理，用猪肚一枚，像平常一样加五味调料煮熟食用，直到吃完。又有猪肚丸，治疗脏毒下血，只用黄连一味，研为细末，根据猪肚大小填入，煮至极烂，捣匀制成丸剂，梧桐子大小。又有另一方，治疗腹部胀大，用乌芋去皮，放入雄猪肚中线缝处，在砂锅中煮烂食用。不要加盐。治疗效果可见如此显著。肪膏即脂油。味道甘甜，气寒，性质滑泽，能凉血解毒润燥，所以主治煎制各种膏药以解斑蝥、芫青的毒。又能通利肠胃，通大小便，疏散风热，治疗恶疮，这都是甘寒的功效。《万氏方》记载：治疗肺热导致的突发失音。猪脂油一斤，炼过后，加入白蜜一斤，再炼片刻，过滤干净，冷却定型。不时挑服一匙即可痊愈，这是润燥的力量。胰，又名肾脂，生长在两肾中间，似脂非脂，似肉非肉，俗称胰干，是人体命门和三焦的发源之处。主治肺痿咳嗽，肺气干胀喘急，滋润五脏，去除皮肤皴裂等症状，大概是因其甘寒滑泽的性质，甘寒则津液生成，滑泽则污垢腻滞去除，和枣肉浸泡酒服用，也主治癖块，消瘦羸弱，然而男子多吃会损伤阳气并削弱大肠，大概因为其功效专门在于去除垢腻，所以染匠凡是洗涤有污垢的衣服必定使用此物。
按语：猪是饮食中常用的食物，脏腑肠胃，都没有被抛弃的。然而全身除了肚和膏之外，其余都有毒且易引发疾病，体质壮实的人，或许暂时食用无害，有病的人不可不忌讳，所以将其危害列在后面。猪肉，多吃使人虚胖，生痰热，热病后食用会复发。头肉食会引起风疾，脑食之损伤男子的性功能，临房不能行事，酒后尤其不可吃。猪血，能败血损阳，服用地黄、首乌等补药的人，尤其忌讳，多吃耗伤心气。猪肝，服药的人不可吃，与鱼一起食生痈疽，与鲤鱼肠子一起吃，伤害人的精神，而且猪临宰杀时惊恐之气入心，断绝之气归肝，所以都不宜多吃。猪肺不可与白花菜一起食用，令人气滞引发霍乱，八月与饴糖一起食用，到了冬天会发疽。猪肾久食损伤阳气。猪肠，多吃动冷气。猪鼻唇多吃动风，舌头多吃损心。
猪肤，多吃使人虚胖，动风生痰，只有虚损精血不足的人，暂时供口腹之欲，是用味道来补益。张仲景论述猪肤汤，取其性甘寒，药气先入肾经，少阴经的客热燥气，可以解除，总之血肉之类，借以充饥。如果调养得当，则是长养气血的需求，如果动静乖张，则是发热生痰的根本。况且万物主味的则柔，往往多有柔嫩之功不全，依赖轻重之分；主气的则刚，便有刚烈之体。损益凭此消长，肥脂血肉，必然润而下走；五谷甘淡，必然平和而缓慢，不像草木得偏气，而有大力。取出猪卵，即双睾丸，治疗小儿惊悸癫痫，大人鬼疰蛊毒，五癃挛缩，寒热奔豚。四蹄能下乳汁。猪心，托举心气镇惊。猪脾，主治脾伤除热。猪肺，补肺治疗连声咳嗽。猪舌，食多损阳也主治肺胀喘咳。猪胆中汁纳入谷道则便通。新剖开的心内血，制作丸药，养血安神，丸药中必用，禁止邪梦纷纭。猪舌煮浓汤，益元阳健脾进食。猪肝炙燥热纳入阴户可止痒引虫。猪肾止腰痛，煨肾散可服用。冬季忌食。猪肚扶持脾弱，莲肚丸可品尝。猪乳使人润泽，生精生血，除天吊猪痈，脐风撮口。猪脂油敷疮疥杀虫。猪脑髓治脑鸣头眩，一说能使滑精。猪大肠捣碎连壳入丸内，能消五痔益肠。猪脊骨髓入补阴丸中，可助真阴生髓。除脊痛，退骨蒸，调寒水石，治汤烫火伤，猪血补中风眩晕，奔豚暴气。猪屎消中湿肿，黄时疫。肿胀蛊毒。猪窠草密置席下，止小儿客忤夜啼。
Zhu Fu (Pig Skin) refers to the skin of the pig. Zhang Zhongjing used Zhu Fu Tang (Pig Skin Decoction) to treat lower jiao Shaoyin diarrhea accompanied by sore throat, chest fullness, and vexation. The prescription uses one jin of pig skin, boiled in ten dou of water until reduced to five sheng; the decoction is collected, and one sheng of white honey and five he of white powder (rice flour) are added, cooked until fragrant, then taken in divided doses. This utilizes its sweet and cold nature, with its qi entering the Kidney meridian first to resolve exogenous heat in the Shaoyin meridian; white honey is added to moisten dryness and relieve vexation, while white powder is added to tonify Qi and stop diarrhea. The pig is a water animal, corresponding to Hai in the Earthly Branches and Kan in the Eight Trigrams. Although its meat is cool in nature, excessive consumption leads to sudden obesity; it tends to generate dampness and phlegm, easily inviting wind-heat, offering little benefit. Xuan Ti (Suspended Hoof) refers to the hoof nail that hangs up without touching the ground. It tastes salty and is cold in nature, non-toxic, and enters the Hand and Foot Yangming meridians. Its salty and cold properties clear damp-heat from the stomach and intestines, thus treating hidden heat in the five types of hemorrhoids and internal erosion of intestinal abscesses. Combined with Hornis Bubali (Buffalo Horn), Fructus Sophorae (Sophora Fruit), [missing herb] peel, Cornu Elephantis (Elephant Tusk), Scolopendra (Centipede), Bambusa Vulgaris infested with worms, Alumen (Alum), Radix Sanguisorbae (Great Burnet Root), Indigo Naturalis (Qing Dai), and Cera Flava (Yellow Beeswax), it treats anal fistulas, causing the fistula tract to expel itself. It also treats corneal opacity persisting for over half a year after smallpox: use three liang of Xuan Ti (sealed in a clay bottle), one liang of Periostracum Cicadae (Cicada Slough), and three qian of Cornu Saigae Tataricae (Saiga Antelope Horn), grind into fine powder. Dosage is one zi per year of age, or two qian for children over three years old, taken with warm water, three times daily, with efficacy expected within one month. The four feet of the pig taste sweet and salty, are cold in nature, and primarily promote lactation and treat traumatic sores. In surgery, Zhu Ti Tang (Pig Trotter Decoction) is an essential medicine for washing carbuncles and ulcers. Human milk belongs to the Yangming meridian; when the pulse is weak, lactation is obstructed. Pig trotters can tonify Qi and Blood of the Yangming meridian, thereby promoting lactation. Traumatic sores are often caused by blood heat; the sweet, salty, and cold nature of pig trotters cools blood and relieves pain. Boiling them for washing ulcers follows this principle. Pig kidneys taste salty and are cold in nature, capable of draining Kidney Qi, and are unsuitable for those with Kidney deficiency-cold. *Shennong Bencao Jing* states they regulate Kidney Qi and promote bladder urination, utilizing sympathetic resonance to guide the effect; it says "regulate" rather than "tonify," implying a specific intent. Since the Kidney and Bladder are exterior-interior paired, it also promotes bladder urination. Modern people mistakenly believe it tonifies the Kidney and eat it indiscriminately, causing significant harm. Ri Hua Zi stated: long-term consumption causes infertility. Meng Shen stated: long-term consumption damages the Kidneys. This is because upon slaughter, the shock qi enters the Heart, and the dying qi returns to the Kidney; post-illness patients should especially avoid eating it due to its cold nature lacking vitalizing energy. Pig gallbladder treats heat-thirst in Shanghan (Cold Damage). Bile is bitter and cold; generally, "when heat invades internally, cold conquers it, and bitter drains it," hence it treats Shanghan heat-thirst. Additionally, Zhang Zhongjing's Gallbladder Suppository method uses pig bile mixed with a little vinegar, instilled into the anus, which is highly effective for bowel movement. Adding two fen of fine powder from Fructus Gleditsiae Sinensis (Chinese Honey Locust Pod) speeds it up further, utilizing sour and bitter properties to nourish Yin, moisten dryness, and purge stool. It also treats persistent Shaoyin diarrhea with cold limbs, absent pulse, dry retching, and vexation, using Bai Tong Tang (White Ginger and Aconite Decoction) plus pig bile, ensuring sympathetic resonance avoids rejection, illustrating the principles of "treating cold with heat methods" and "treating heat with cold methods." The formula includes four stalks of Scallion White, one liang of Dried Ginger, one raw Aconite root, three sheng of rice, boiled to one sheng, then added with five he of Human Urine and one he of Pig Bile, taken in divided doses. Pig stomach stops thirst and diarrhea, and tonifies Middle Jiao Qi. Pig stomach belongs to Earth, tastes sweet, and is slightly warm in nature; it is a harmless part of the pig and a key item for tonifying Spleen and Stomach. When Spleen and Stomach are tonified, Middle Qi increases, and thirst and diarrhea cease naturally. Ri Hua Zi said: "It treats deficiency and depletion." Su Song said: "It treats bone-steaming tidal fever." Poor blood circulation is treated by tonifying Spleen and Stomach, allowing Essence and Blood to generate naturally, curing consumptive diseases, stabilizing the root, and calming the Five Zang organs. *Pu Ji Fang* records: for persistent watery diarrhea, boil one piece of pig skin until soft, add Ping Wei San (Peaceful Middle Powder), form pills, and take. Zhang Zhongjing's formula: Zhu Du Huang Lian Wan (Pig Stomach and Coptis Pill) treats Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst): one pig stomach stuffed with five liang of Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), four liang each of Radix Trichosanthis (Gualou Gen) and White Leiotropis Rice, three liang of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (Zhimu), and two liang of Ophiopogonis Radix (Maidong), sewn, steamed, mashed, and formed into pills the size of wutong seeds. Take thirty pills per dose with rice drink. *Qianjin Fang* records: to warm and nourish fetal Qi at nine months, cook one pig stomach with five flavors as usual and eat until finished. Another Pig Stomach Pill treats Zang Du (Visceral Toxin) bleeding: fill a pig stomach with fine powder of Coptidis Rhizoma alone, boil until very soft, mash, and form pills. Another recipe for abdominal distension: peel Wuyu (Taro), insert into male pig stomach, sew, boil in a clay pot until mushy, and eat. Do not add salt. The efficacy is evident. Fang Gao (Fat Paste) is lard. It tastes sweet, is cold in nature, and slippery in texture, cooling blood, detoxifying, and moistening dryness; thus it is used to prepare ointments to counteract the toxicity of Mylabris and Lytta. It also benefits the intestines and stomach, unblocks urination and defecation, disperses wind-heat, and treats malignant sores, all due to its sweet and cold properties. *Wan Shi Fang* records: for sudden aphonia due to Lung heat, refine one jin of lard, add one jin of white honey, refine briefly, filter, and let cool. Take one spoon whenever needed for cure, demonstrating its moistening power. Yi (Pancreas), also called Kidney Fat, grows between the two kidneys, resembling fat but not quite, resembling meat but not quite, commonly known as dried pancreas. It is the origin of Mingmen (Gate of Vitality) and Sanjiao (Triple Energizer). It treats Lung萎 (Lung Collapse) cough, Lung Qi dry distension and wheezing, moistens the Five Zang organs, and removes skin roughness. Its sweet, cold, and slippery nature generates fluids and removes greasiness. Taken with date flesh soaked in wine, it also treats Pi Masses and emaciation. However, men eating too much damages Yang and weakens the Large Intestine, as its function is specifically to remove greasiness; hence dyers use it to wash dirty clothes.
Note: Pigs are commonly used in diet, with no part of the viscera or intestines discarded. However, except for the stomach and fat, the rest are toxic and prone to causing disease. Robust individuals may temporarily consume them without harm, but sick individuals must avoid them. The harms are listed below. Pork: excessive consumption causes flaccid obesity, generates phlegm-heat, and triggers recurrence after febrile diseases. Head meat induces wind-diseases; brain consumption damages male sexual function, causing impotence, especially after alcohol. Pig blood: damages blood and Yang; contraindicated for those taking Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang) and Polygoni Multiflori Radix (Shouwu); excessive consumption depletes Heart Qi. Pig liver: contraindicated for those taking medication; combined with fish, it causes carbuncles; combined with carp intestines, it harms the Spirit. Since shock qi enters the Heart and dying qi returns to the Liver during slaughter, both should be avoided. Pig lung: do not eat with Baihua Cai (Veronicastrum); causes Qi stagnation and cholera; eating with malt in August causes carbuncles in winter. Pig kidney: long-term consumption damages Yang. Pig intestine: excessive consumption stirs Cold Qi. Pig nose/lips: excessive consumption induces wind; tongue: excessive consumption damages the Heart.
Zhu Fu (Pig Skin): excessive consumption causes flaccid obesity, induces wind, and generates phlegm. Only those with deficiency-depletion and insufficient Essence-Blood should consume it temporarily to satisfy appetite, using flavor to tonify. Zhang Zhongjing’s discussion on Zhu Fu Tang highlights its sweet-cold nature entering the Kidney first to resolve Shaoyin exogenous heat and dryness. Generally, flesh and blood products serve to fill the stomach. If managed properly, they nourish Qi and Blood; if mismanaged, they become the root of fever and phlegm generation. Foods with dominant flavors are soft and tender, relying on weight and lightness; foods with dominant Qi are firm and vigorous. Benefits and harms depend on this balance. Fatty meats are slippery and descend; grains are sweet and bland, acting gently and steadily, unlike herbs that possess biased Qi and strong force. Pig testicles (Lu Juan) treat pediatric palpitations and epilepsy, adult ghost consumption and gu poison, five strangulations and spasms, and cold-heat running piglet syndrome. Four hooves promote lactation. Pig heart anchors Heart Qi and calms fright. Pig spleen treats Spleen injury and clears heat. Pig lung tonifies Lung and treats continuous coughing. Pig tongue: excessive consumption damages Yang but also treats Lung distension and wheezing. Pig bile instilled into the rectum facilitates bowel movement. Fresh pig heart blood made into pills nourishes Blood and calms the Spirit, preventing chaotic dreams. Pig tongue boiled into thick soup benefits Yuan Yang, strengthens Spleen, and promotes appetite. Roasted pig liver inserted into the vagina stops itching and draws out parasites. Pig kidney stops lower back pain; roasted kidney powder can be taken. Avoid in winter. Pig stomach supports Spleen weakness; Lotus Seed Pig Stomach Pills are suitable. Pig milk moisturizes, generates Essence and Blood, and treats convulsions, pig carbuncles, and umbilical tetanus. Lard applied to sores kills insects. Brain marrow treats tinnitus and dizziness; some say it causes seminal emission. Pig large intestine pills with shell eliminate five hemorrhoids and benefit intestines. Pig spinal marrow in Yin-tonifying pills assists True Yin and generates marrow. Relieves spinal pain, reduces bone-steaming fever, regulates Natrii Sulfas (Han Shui Shi), and treats burns/scalds. Pig blood treats stroke vertigo and running piglet syndrome. Pig feces eliminate damp swelling, jaundice, epidemic fevers, and gu poison. Pig sty grass placed under mats stops pediatric fright and night crying.
Main Indications (Integrating Smallpox/Rash): Pork should be lightly salted and cooked in rice to protect the Spleen and Stomach. Borrowing its wind-inducing property aids development, and flesh tonifies flesh.
