(Xie, Scorpion) Can disperse and dispel wind.
Sweet and pungent, toxic. Color green corresponds to Wood. Therefore, it treats various wind-induced dizziness and tremors. (All belong to Liver Wood.) Convulsions from fright and epilepsy, twitching and spasms. Deviation of the mouth and eyes. (Equal parts of Bai Fu Zi [Aconitum Kusnezoffii Rhizome], Jiang Can [Bombyx Batryticatus], and Quan Xie [Scorpio] are ground into powder, named Qian Zheng San, taken with wine, two qian per dose, very effective.) Malaria, wind sores, deafness, leukorrhea, and hernia. Diseases of the Jueyin Wind-Wood channel. (Li Dongyuan said: "All hernias and leukorrheas belong to wind; Quan Xie is an essential herb for treating wind and should be added in all such cases.") Conditions resembling stroke and slow spleen wind in children. If the disease pattern is deficient, its use is strictly contraindicated. When used whole, it is called Quan Xie (Whole Scorpio); when feet are removed and the tail is roasted, it is called Xie Shao (Scorpion Tail), which has even stronger potency. (If stung by a scorpion, applying snail mucus provides relief.) Those that are tight and small are of superior quality.
(Ji, Leech) Also known as Ma Huang (Leech). Has purgative and blood-breaking effects.
Salty, bitter and neutral, toxic. Treats accumulation of evil blood. (Extremely effective for dyeing hair. It can guide medicinal power upward to the root; grind Ji into fine powder, mix with turtle urine, apply to the hair tips, and it will naturally flow down to the roots.) Red and white Dan swelling. Initial stage of swellings and toxins. (Using a bamboo tube for suction is beneficial. If live leeches are accidentally swallowed, they enter the abdomen and produce offspring, causing abdominal pain, emaciation, and yellow complexion; drinking several cups of water mixed with field mud will cause them to pass out, or drinking beef/sheep hot blood with pig fat also expels them.) Roasted until yellow and brittle. Averse to Duan Shi (Iron Sulfate). Salty.
(Wu Gu Chong, Five-Grain Worm) Also known as Wu Gu Chong. Has heat-purging and malnutrition-treating effects.
Cold in nature. Treats delirious speech in febrile diseases. Vomiting caused by toxic dysentery. Pediatric malnutrition accumulation and malnutrition sores. Wash clean and sun-dry. Or stir-fry, or grind into powder. The above are all oviparous animals.
(Lai Xia Ma, Toad) Also known as Lai Xia Ma. Has purgative, malnutrition-treating, and toxin-extracting effects.
The Toad embodies the essence of Earth and responds to the lunar soul. Pungent and cool, slightly toxic. Enters the Yangming Stomach channel. Clears deficiency heat. Moves dampness. Kills parasites. Treats carbuncles and back sores. (For those not yet suppurated, tie a live toad to the upper part of the sore for half a day; the toad will become lethargic, then place it in water to revive it, replace with another, after three changes the toxin dissipates; for severe cases, split the toad and apply it to the sore; it will soon become foul-smelling, repeat this two or three times, and the swelling will heal spontaneously.) Pediatric wasting-thirst and malnutrition diseases. Chan Su (Toad Venom), pungent and warm, toxic. Treats back carbuncles and ding sores. Pediatric malnutrition brain malnutrition. (This is the white juice from between the toad's eyebrows, which can corrode human muscle; only for ding toxins can 2-3 li be taken orally, utilizing the principle of using toxicity to combat toxicity; widely used in surgery. Toad fat applied to jade can be carved like wax.) The head has the same efficacy as the toad body.
