【怀牛膝】
害怕白前、白鲜皮。厌恶萤火虫、龟甲、陆英。忌食牛肉。
味苦、酸,性平。归入足厥阴肝经和足少阴肾经的血分。能补益肝肾的精气,破除瘀血形成的症块。治疗筋骨痿软痹痛,久疟疾导致的下痢,淋证疼痛及尿血,以及心腹部各种疼痛。又能引导火气下行,并治疗喉痹(咽喉肿痛闭塞)和齿痛。将连叶一起捣烂取汁,频繁滴入眼中治疗胬肉攀睛(眼生珠管)。配伍杜仲,可补肝。配伍肉苁蓉,可益肾。配伍川断(续断),可强壮腰膝。(气机不郁滞则筋骨强健。)配伍车前子,可调理阳气。去除芦头及泥沙。药性下行,生用破血;用于滋补时,需焙干,或用黄精汁浸泡、酒拌蒸数十次后使用。用于破除瘀血敷治金疮,生用。用于引导火气下行,用童便炒制。用于引导诸药到达膝盖,生用或熟用均可。出现遗精、血崩、气陷导致腿肿、脏腑虚寒导致大便滑泄、中气不足、小便自利者,均禁用。
【紫菀】
味辛、酸、苦。归入肝经。祛风治疗痹痛。配伍茄皮,治疗风痛。
【天名精】
即天名精的根。
祛风破血。
春夏季节使用叶子,秋冬季节使用根部,叶子的汁液效果尤其迅速。
【款冬花】
以款冬花为引经药(使药)。害怕茵陈。厌恶天雄、瞿麦、藁本、雷丸、远志。
味苦、辛,性平、微温。归入手太阴肺经和手少阴心经的血分。清泄上炎的火气,疏散结滞的气机。治疗痰血,通利小便,开通喉痹,退除惊痫。(气痛等各种症状全部消退。)配伍生地、麦冬,入心经以宁心安神。配伍丹皮、白芍,入胃经以清热。配伍款冬、百部、乌梅,治疗久咳。配伍白前、半夏,治疗水气病。去除头部须根,洗净后用蜜水浸泡,焙干使用。
如果是肺气结滞,郁结化热,导致肺叶焦枯,久咳不止,使用紫菀宣散,则肺窍通畅而郁热自然消除。如果是阴虚导致肺液干枯,服用这种散气耗液的药剂,危害不小。人们为何将其视为劳嗽(肺结核类咳嗽)的圣药,不探究其本源而妄加使用,导致阴液受损而自己却不知道呢?如果在滋阴的重剂中加入紫菀四五分以疏通滞气,也可以。
[Huainiuxi (Achyranthes Bidentata Root)]
Contraindicated with Baiqian (Cynanchum Atratum Root), Baixianpi (Dictamni Cortex). Aversion to Yinghuo (Firefly), Guijia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum), Luying (Euphorbia Humifusa). Avoid beef.
Bitter, sour, neutral in nature. Enters the blood aspect of the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian and Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Benefits the essence and qi of the Liver and Kidneys, breaks up stasis and resolves masses caused by blood stasis. Treats flaccidity and bi-syndrome of bones and sinews, chronic malaria leading to dysentery, painful stranguria with hematuria, and various pains in the heart and abdomen. It can also guide fire downward and treat Houbi (obstruction of the throat) and toothache. Crush the leaves together with the root to extract juice, and frequently apply drops to the eyes to treat Nourou Panjing (pterygium/pseudopterygium). Combined with Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex), it tonifies the Liver. Combined with Rongrong (Cistanche Stem), it benefits the Kidneys. Paired with Chuanduan Rou (Dipsaci Radix), it strengthens the waist and knees. (When Qi does not stagnate, strength is maintained.) Paired with Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Seed), it regulates Yang Qi. Remove the rhizome head and impurities like mud and sand. The action directs downward; use raw for breaking blood stasis. For tonification, bake dry, or soak in Huangjing juice, mix with wine, and steam dozens of times before use. Use raw for breaking blood stasis and applying externally to traumatic injuries. To guide fire downward, stir-fry with Tongbian (Child's Urine). To guide other herbs to the knee joint, both raw and processed forms are usable. Contraindicated in cases of seminal emission, uterine bleeding, Qi sinking causing leg edema, cold viscera leading to loose stools, deficiency of Middle Qi, and spontaneous frequent urination.
[Ziwan (Asteris Radix)]
Pungent, sour, bitter. Enters the Liver Meridian. Dispels wind and treats bi-syndrome. Paired with Qiepi (Solanum Melongena Peel), treats wind-pain.
[Tianmingjing (Glechomae Herba / Glehniae Radix? Context suggests Glehnia or similar, but text says "Tianmingjing Gen" - typically refers to Glehniae Radix or sometimes Picris Root depending on era, here translated as Tianmingjing Root based on literal text, though WHO standard often maps Tianmingjing to Glehniae Radix or Picridis Herba. Given "Gen", likely Glehniae Radix or similar root herb. However, standard Tianmingjing is Glehniae Radix. Let's stick to literal Tianmingjing Root for accuracy to source, noting potential ambiguity.]
Refers to the root of Tianmingjing.
Dispels wind and breaks blood stasis.
Use leaves in spring and summer, roots in autumn and winter; leaf juice acts particularly fast.
[Kuandonghua (Farfarae Flos)]
Kuandonghua serves as the guiding herb (Shi Yao). Aversion to Yinchen. Dislikes Tianxiong, Qumai, Bencao (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma? Text says "Ben", likely Gaoben Ligustici Wallichii Rhizoma et Radix), Leiwan, Yuanzhi.
Bitter, pungent, neutral, slightly warm in nature. Enters the blood aspect of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian. Drains upward-flaring fire, disperses stagnant Qi. Treats phlegm-blood, promotes urination, opens Houbi (throat obstruction), alleviates jingxian (convulsions/epilepsy). (Qi-pain and other symptoms all recede.) Paired with Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix) and Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), enters the Heart to calm the Spirit. Paired with Danpi (Moutan Cortex) and Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), enters the Stomach to clear heat. Paired with Kuandong, Baibu, and Wumei, treats chronic cough. Paired with Baiqian and Banxia, treats water-Qi pathology. Remove the head and whiskers, wash clean, soak in honey-water, bake dry, and use.
If Lung Qi is stagnant, condenses into heat, causing the lung lobes to become scorched and dry, resulting in persistent cough, using Ziwan to disperse will open the lung orifices and eliminate the stagnant heat naturally. If Yin deficiency leads to dryness and depletion of Lung fluids, administering agents that scatter Qi and deplete fluids causes significant harm. Why do people regard this as the holy medicine for Lao Sou (consumptive cough/TB cough), failing to investigate its origin and using it recklessly, thereby harming the Yin without realizing it? However, adding a small amount (4-5 fen) of Ziwan to heavy Yin-nourishing formulas to unblock stagnation is also acceptable.
