甘温，无毒。微煨去壳。
发明 凡杀虫药都是苦辛，惟使君子甘而杀虫，不伤脾胃，大人小儿有虫病者，每月上
旬清晨空腹食数枚或为散，肥汤服之，次日虫从大便出。忌饮热茶，犯之即泻。凡虫皆脾胃

土木鳖苦温小毒，番木鳖苦寒大毒。又附子之初生未成者曰漏篮子，《炮炙论
》名木鳖子与此不同。
发明 木鳖有二种。有壳者曰土鳖。去壳捣烂，帛裹塞鼻，起倒睫拳毛。又为末唾调，
贴痔痛七日即消。一切痈肿，醋磨涂之。一种无壳者曰番鳖。治热病喉痹作痛，和山豆根、
青木香磨汁咽之。 疮入眼，番木鳖半个，同轻粉、冰片、麝香为末，左目吹右耳，右目吹
左耳，日三次， 疮自退。又能毒狗，狗性大热，此性大寒，寒热相反，激之使然。
苦辛微寒，无毒。去壳，微焙用。
发明 诸药之性轻浮者，皆能入肺散气，灯心、马勃之属皆然，诸家言其性寒，专于劫
痰定喘，不知其苦中带辛，寒中带散，是以肺热痰喘，声音不清者宜之。钱氏补肺阿胶散用
之。取其清热降气，邪去则肺安矣。性善涌泄，故《纂要》治蛇蛊毒，一味浓煎服之，探吐
，其毒即解。婴儿麻疹内陷喘满声喑者，宜加用之；若肺冷金寒，喘嗽失音者禁用。
【发明】凡是杀虫药物大多味苦辛，唯独使君子味甘且能杀虫，不损伤脾胃。大人和小孩若有虫积病，每月上旬清晨空腹吃几枚，或研为散剂，用肥腻的汤水送服，第二天虫子就会随大便排出。忌饮热茶，若违反此禁忌即会导致腹泻。大凡寄生虫皆因脾胃虚弱、饮食停滞而生；使君子甘温之性既能杀虫，又能补益脾胃，因此能够收敛虚热并止泻，是治疗小儿虫积的上等药物。
木鳖子（土鳖）：味苦性温，有小毒；番木鳖：味苦性寒，有大毒。另外，附子初生尚未长成时称为“漏篮子”，《炮炙论》中提到的木鳖子与此不同。
【发明】木鳖有两种。有壳的称为土鳖。去掉外壳捣烂，用布包裹塞入鼻孔，可治疗倒睫拳毛（眼睑内翻、睫毛向内生长）。又将其研为粉末，用唾液调和，贴敷于痔疮疼痛处，七日即可消退。对于一切痈肿，用醋磨汁涂擦患处。另一种无壳的称为番鳖。用于治疗热病引起的喉痹疼痛，与山豆根、青木香一起磨汁咽下。疮疡进入眼部，取半个番木鳖，同轻粉、冰片、麝香研为粉末，左眼患病吹药入右耳，右眼患病吹药入左耳，每日三次，疮疡自然消退。番木鳖又能毒杀狗，因为狗性大热，而番木鳖性大寒，寒热性质相反，刺激之下导致其死亡。
【发明】药性轻浮的药物，都能入肺散气，灯心草、马勃等都属于此类。各家医家说它性寒，专门用于劫痰定喘，却不知道它苦中带辛，寒中带散，因此肺热痰喘、声音不清者适宜使用。钱乙的补肺阿胶散中使用它，是取其清热降气之功，邪气去除则肺气安宁。其性善于涌吐泄浊，所以《本草纂要》记载用它治疗蛇蛊毒，单味药浓煎服用，通过探吐，毒素随即解除。婴儿麻疹内陷导致喘满、声音嘶哑者，适宜加用此药；若是肺冷金寒导致的喘嗽失音，则禁用。
**Quisqualis Indica (Shi Jun Zi)**: Sweet in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic. Lightly roasted and shelled before use.
[Invention/Commentary] All anthelmintic drugs are typically bitter and acrid, whereas Quisqualis Indica is sweet yet effective against parasites without damaging the Spleen and Stomach. For adults and children with intestinal parasites, it is recommended to consume several fruits on an empty stomach early in the morning during the first ten days of each lunar month, or take them as a powder administered with rich broth. The worms will be expelled via stool the following day. Hot tea must be avoided; violating this prohibition causes diarrhea. Parasites generally arise from Spleen-Stomach deficiency and food stagnation. Since Quisqualis Indica is sweet and warm, it not only kills parasites but also tonifies the Spleen and Stomach, thereby consolidating deficient heat and stopping diarrhea. It is considered a superior drug for pediatric parasitic accumulation.
**Momordica Cochinchinensis (Mu Bie Zi / Tu Bie)**: Bitter in taste, warm in nature, slightly toxic; **Gymnema Sylvestre (Fan Mu Bie)**: Bitter in taste, cold in nature, highly toxic. Additionally, the immature, unformed root of *Aconitum carmichaelii* (Fu Zi) is called "Lou Lan Zi"; the "Mu Bie Zi" mentioned in the *Pao Zhi Lun* (Treatise on Processing) is different from this.
[Invention/Commentary] There are two types of Mu Bie Zi. The one with a shell is called Tu Bie (Earth Bitter). After removing the shell and pounding it into a paste, wrap it in cloth and insert it into the nostril to treat trichiasis (entropion with inverted lashes). Alternatively, grind it into powder, mix with saliva, and apply to painful hemorrhoids; it will subside within seven days. For all kinds of carbuncles and swellings, grind with vinegar and apply topically. The other type, without a shell, is called Fan Bie (Foreign Bitter). It treats pain caused by sore throat due to heat pathogens; grind it together with *Thladianthae Radix* (Shan Dou Gen) and *Aucklandiae Radix* (Qing Mu Xiang), extract the juice, and swallow. For ulcers affecting the eyes, take half a Gymnema fruit, mix with *Calamina* (Qing Fen), *Borneolum Syntheticum* (Bing Pian), and *Moschus* (She Xiang) into a powder. Blow the powder into the right ear if the left eye is affected, or into the left ear if the right eye is affected, three times daily, and the ulcer will recede naturally. Gymnema can also poison dogs because dog nature is excessively hot, while Gymnema is excessively cold; the opposition of cold and heat causes this reaction.
**Aristolochia Manshuriensis (Ma Dou Ling)**: Bitter and acrid in taste, slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. Shelled and lightly roasted before use.
[Invention/Commentary] Drugs with light and floating properties, such as *Junci Medulla* (Deng Xin Cao) and *Lasiothallus* (Ma Bo), can enter the Lung to dissipate Qi. Various schools state that its nature is cold and it specializes in resolving phlegm and relieving asthma. However, it contains acridity within bitterness and dispersal within coldness, making it suitable for lung-heat phlegm-wheezing and unclear voice. It is used in Qian Yi’s *Bufei Ejiao San* (Tonify Lung Donkey-Hide Gelatin Decoction) for its ability to clear heat and descend Qi; once the pathogenic factor is eliminated, Lung Qi becomes tranquil. Its nature promotes vomiting and purging. Therefore, the *Bencao Zuanyao* records using it alone in a strong decoction to treat snake and gu-poisoning; inducing vomiting resolves the toxin immediately. It is suitable for infants with measles sinking inward causing wheezing, fullness, and aphonia. However, it is contraindicated for wheezing, coughing, and loss of voice caused by Lung cold and Metal deficiency.
