肉
甘温无毒。
《本经》主风痹不仁筋急，五脏腹中积聚，寒热羸瘦，头疡白秃，面上 。
发明 熊禀雄毅之性，故其脂可开风痹不仁等疾。可服，可摩，但不可作灯，烟气熏目
，使人不能远视。《本经》所主不出风痹筋急之用。风为阳邪，熊为阳兽，其性温润，能通
行经络，开通血气也。熊筋亦能壮筋强力，与虎骨之搜风壮骨无异。熊肉振羸，其气有余，
痫病患食之终身不愈。
苦寒无毒。试法取少许研滴水中，挂下如线直至水底不散者为真。
发明 熊胆苦入心，寒胜热，手少阴、足厥阴药也。其性洁不染尘，故能清心平肝。为
时气热盛变为黄胆之要药。又能杀虫，明目，除翳瘴疳痔，虫牙，蛔痛，小儿惊痫螈 ，以
竹沥化豆大许服之，去心中涎。痔疮赤肿水化点之即消。凡实热之证用之咸宜，苟涉虚家便
当严禁。
即羚羊角
咸寒无毒。镑碎胸前煨热令脆，研如粉，不则黏人肠胃。
《本经》主明目，益气起阴，去恶血注下，辟蛊毒恶鬼，不祥魇寐。
发明 羚羊属木，入厥足阴，伐肝最捷。目暗翳障，而羚羊角能平之。痘疮正面稠密不

熊肉
味甘，性温，无毒。
《神农本草经》主治风痹导致的感觉麻木、筋脉拘急，五脏及腹中的积聚病，寒热往来导致的身体消瘦，头部的疮疡和脱发，以及面部的瘢痕。
【发明】熊禀赋雄强坚毅的性情，所以它的脂肪可以治疗风痹导致的感觉麻木等疾病。既可以内服，也可以外用按摩，但不可用来做灯油，因为燃烧产生的烟气熏眼睛，会导致人视力减退，不能看清远处的东西。《神农本草经》所主治的功效，不出于治疗风痹筋急的范围。风属于阳邪，熊是阳兽，其性质温润，能够通行经络，疏通气血。熊筋也能强壮筋骨，与虎骨搜风壮骨的作用没有区别。熊肉能振奋羸弱之体，但其气有余，癫痫病患者食用后，疾病终身难以痊愈。
熊胆
味苦，性寒，无毒。验证方法：取少许研磨后滴入水中，如果下沉如线直至水底而不散开的是真品。
【发明】熊胆的苦味入心经，寒性能胜热邪，是手少阴心经和足厥阴肝经的药物。其性质洁净不染尘埃，所以能清心火、平肝阳。它是治疗时行热盛转变为黄疸的重要药物。又能杀虫，明目，去除白内障、沙眼、疳积痔疮、虫牙、蛔虫疼痛、小儿惊痫抽搐，用竹沥溶解如豆大小的药量服用，可去除心中的痰涎。痔疮红肿用水化开后点涂，立即消退。凡是实热的证候使用它都很适宜，如果是虚损体质则应当严禁使用。
羊角（即羚羊角）
味咸，性寒，无毒。切成薄片在胸前煨烤至热变脆，研成粉末，否则容易黏附在肠胃中。
《神农本草经》主治明目，益气起阴，去除恶血下行，辟除蛊毒恶鬼和不祥的梦魇。
【发明】羚羊属木，入足厥阴肝经，伐肝邪最为快捷。对于目暗生翳障，羚羊角能平息它。痘疮正面稠密不能起发，羚羊角能分解它。小儿惊痫，妇人子痫，大人中风抽搐以及筋寒历节痛，羚羊角能舒缓它。惊骇不安，狂躁梦魇，羚羊角能安抚它。恶鬼不祥，羚羊角能辟除它。恶血下行、蛊毒疝痛、疮肿、产后血气问题，羚羊角能消散它。湿热留滞，阳气不振，阴气衰痿，羚羊角能兴起它。烦闷疲惫气逆，噎塞不通，郁结为寒热，羚羊角能降泄它。详细分析《神农本草经》所主治的内容，都是取其疏散厥阴血结的作用。我认为各种角都能入肝散血解毒，而犀角为首推，因为它专门吞食百草的毒素，兼走阳明经，力量能将毒邪祛除排出体外。所以痘疮血热毒盛的，是必需用的。如果痘疮的毒邪都在气分，且正面稠密不能起发的，又需要用羚羊角来分解其势，使恶血流到其他地方，这不是犀角所能做到的。人们只知道羚羊角能消除目翳，定惊痫和消散痘疮恶血的功效，这是众人所蒙昧不知的。羚羊角治疗青盲目暗与犀角作用相似，而辟除邪魅蛊毒也相仿佛，可惜从未有人听闻。只有消除乳癖，《丹方》中使用它。白羯羊角也能消除乳癖，而医家通常使用琉璃角或灯磁盘刮取薄屑，放在胸口等候变脆，捣细，用酒送服方寸匙大小，屡见疗效，专门摄取宿腐的味道，以消除陈积的垢浊。鹿角刮屑善于消除虚人乳肿，未溃破即消，已溃破即收敛，这就是《神农本草经》主治漏下恶血的治疗原理。龙角治疗神魂不宁，功用与龙齿大致相同。《千金方》中有牙齿和角并用的记载。牛角腮专门主治闭血、血崩，牛全身唯独这个部位无用。但《神农本草经》特别收录它，《千金方》更是将其作为崩漏的要药，可见天地间没有废弃之物。
Bear Meat
Sweet, warm, non-toxic.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) states it treats wind-bi syndrome causing numbness and lack of sensation, tendon urgency, accumulations in the five zang organs and abdomen, alternating cold and heat leading to emaciation, head sores and alopecia capitis, and facial scars.
[Invention] Bear possesses a masculine and resolute nature; thus, its fat can treat diseases such as wind-bi with numbness. It can be taken internally or applied externally for massage, but must not be used as lamp oil, as the smoke from burning irritates the eyes, causing inability to see distant objects clearly. The indications in the *Shennong Bencao Jing* do not extend beyond treating wind-bi and tendon urgency. Wind is a yang pathogen, and bear is a yang animal; its nature is moist and warm, capable of unblocking meridians and circulating qi and blood. Bear tendons also strengthen muscles and bones, having no difference from Tiger Bone (Rex Tigris Os) in searching out wind and strengthening bones. Bear meat revitalizes the emaciated, but its qi is excessive; patients with epilepsy who consume it will find their disease incurable for life.
Bear Gallbladder
Bitter, cold, non-toxic. Verification method: Grind a small amount and drop it into water; if it sinks like a thread to the bottom without dispersing, it is authentic.
[Invention] Bitter flavor enters the Heart, and cold nature overcomes heat; it is a herb for the Hand-Shaoyin (Heart) and Foot-Jueyin (Liver) meridians. Its nature is clean and does not stain with dust, thus it can clear Heart fire and calm Liver yang. It is a key herb for treating epidemic febrile diseases where intense heat transforms into jaundice. It can also kill parasites, brighten the eyes, remove leukoma, trachoma, malnutrition-related conditions, hemorrhoids, dental caries caused by worms, biliary colic, pediatric convulsions, and spasms. Dissolve a bean-sized amount in Bamboo Sap (Zhuli) and take orally to remove phlegm-fluid from the heart. For red and swollen hemorrhoids, apply diluted solution topically for immediate resolution. It is suitable for all excess-heat syndromes; however, it is strictly contraindicated for deficiency constitutions.
Sheep Horn (specifically Antelope Horn)
Salty, cold, non-toxic. Slice thinly, roast over the chest until hot and brittle, then grind into powder; otherwise, it adheres to the stomach and intestines.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it brightens the eyes, benefits qi and raises yin, removes stagnant bad blood flowing downward, wards off gu poison, evil spirits, and inauspicious nightmares.
[Invention] Antelope belongs to Wood and enters the Foot-Jueyin (Liver) meridian, making it most swift in subduing Liver pathology. For dim vision and visual obstructions, Antelope Horn (Saiga Tataricae Cornu) can resolve them. For severe smallpox lesions that are dense on the face and fail to erupt, Antelope Horn can disperse them. For pediatric convulsions, postpartum eclampsia, adult stroke with spasms, and joint pain due to cold-tendons, Antelope Horn can relieve them. For fright, restlessness, mania, and nightmares, Antelope Horn can pacify them. For evil spirits and inauspicious signs, Antelope Horn can expel them. For stagnant bad blood, gu poison, hernia pain, sores and swellings, and postpartum blood-qiu disorders, Antelope Horn can dissipate them. For damp-heat stagnation, depressed yang qi, and atrophied yin qi, Antelope Horn can uplift them. For vexation, fatigue, rebellious qi, dysphagia, and depression transforming into alternating cold and heat, Antelope Horn can descend them. A detailed analysis of the *Shennong Bencao Jing* indications reveals they all aim to scatter Jueyin blood stasis. I observe that all horns enter the Liver to scatter blood and detoxify, but Rhinoceros Horn (Rhinocerotis Cornu) is foremost because it specifically consumes toxins of hundred herbs and travels through the Yangming meridian, forcefully expelling toxins outward. Thus, for smallpox with intense blood-heat and toxin, it is essential. If smallpox toxin resides in the Qi level and lesions are dense on the face failing to erupt, Antelope Horn is required to disperse the momentum, diverting bad blood elsewhere, which Rhinoceros Horn cannot do. People only know Antelope Horn's merit in eliminating leukoma, stabilizing convulsions, and scattering smallpox bad blood, remaining ignorant of other functions. Treating congenital blindness and dim vision with Antelope Horn is similar to Rhinoceros Horn, and expelling evil charms and gu poison is also comparable, yet this has rarely been heard of. Only for dissipating breast masses, *Danfang* uses it. White Ram Horn also dissipates breast masses; practitioners often scrape thin slices from glazed horn or lamp disk bases, hold them in the chest until brittle, grind finely, and take one cun-chi spoonful with wine, yielding frequent efficacy. This specifically utilizes the taste of old decay to eliminate accumulated filth. Deer Horn (Cervi Cornu) scrapings effectively dissipate breast swelling in deficient persons, resolving before suppuration and closing after suppuration, corresponding to the *Shennong Bencao Jing*'s treatment of leukorrhea with bad blood. Dragon Horn treats unsettled soul and spirit, with functions slightly similar to Dragon Teeth (Draconis Massa Os). The *Qianjin Fang* records cases using teeth and horns together. Cow Horn Sclera (Bovis Cornea) specifically treats blood obstruction and metrorrhagia; among the whole cow, only this part is considered useless. Yet the *Shennong Bencao Jing* specially records it, and the *Qianjin Fang* regards it as a key herb for metrorrhagia and metrostaxis, demonstrating that there is no discarded matter in the world.
