宣通，开窍。
气味辛、温，芳香走窜。能开通经络，通达全身诸窍，穿透肌肤与骨骼。主治中风猝倒（卒中诸风），以及气滞、血瘀、各种疼痛，痰厥惊痫。（严用和《济生方》记载：中风昏迷不醒者，可用麝香配合清油灌服，先开通其闭塞之关窍；唐德宗贞元年间《广利方》记载：中恶客忤濒临死亡者，用麝香一钱，醋调和后灌服。）治疗症瘕积聚、瘴疟，鼻塞耳聋，目生翳障、阴寒冷痛，辟除邪气、解除毒素，杀虫并促使堕胎。亦能化解腐败的果实和变质的酒，治疗果积和酒积。（李东垣说：麝香入脾经治疗肌肉疾病，牛黄入肝经治疗筋病，冰片入肾经治疗骨病。）其性走窜飞扬，内可透达骨髓，外可彻达皮毛。李东垣说：它能搜剔骨髓中的风邪。如果风邪仅在肌肉层面，误用麝香反而会将风邪引入骨中。朱丹溪说：五脏之风，忌讳使用麝香，因为它会耗泻卫气。因此，证属虚损的患者，既不要施用。如果迫不得已，也应当少量使用。劳损虚弱之人及孕妇，不宜佩戴。研末服用。凡使用时应选用“当门子”（麝香中品质最好的部分），尤为妙用。忌食大蒜。不可靠近鼻子，以防虫类进入脑部。（麝香鹿被人捕捉时，会自行剔除聚集香气的部位，周围草木皆枯黄；市井中人有时搀杂荔枝核来伪造麝香。）
味甘、酸，性温。治疗反胃吐食。（烧成灰，加入少许朱砂末，压在舌下，效果很好。）尿。（用姜或蒜擦拭牙齿和鼻子，或者将生葱插入鼻孔中，尿液即会遗出。）治疗蜓蚰等虫类进入耳道，滴入药液虫子即会出来。肉，治疗劳疰鼠瘘蛊毒。涎，治疗瘰疬。（刺破后涂抹患处。）
古名“獾”，音同“端”。
味甘、酸，性平。促进肌肉生长。（瘦人与五味药材一起煮食，宗奭说：野兽之中，只有獾肉最甘美，有益于瘦人。）治疗上气虚乏，咳逆劳热。（与五味药材一起煮食。）水胀久治不愈。（濒临死亡者，做成羹汤食用，利水效果显著，《圣惠方》用粳米煮熟。）下痢赤白久治不愈。（煮肉露置一夜，空腹配酱食用，一顿即可痊愈。）
To promote circulation and open the orifices.
Pungent, warm, aromatic, and penetrating. It opens the meridians, unblocks all orifices, and penetrates the muscle layers and bones. It treats sudden stroke (Zhong Feng), as well as disorders of Qi, blood, and various pains, phlegm-jue, and convulsions/epilepsy. (Yan Yonghe's *Jisheng Fang* states: For patients with stroke who are unconscious, pour a mixture of Moschus (Shexiang) and clear oil into their mouth to first open the blocked orifices; Tang Dezong's Zhengyuan era *Guangli Fang* states: For those suffering from evil qi invasion or hostile influences near death, use 1 qian of Moschus (Shexiang), mixed with vinegar, and pour it in.) It treats masses and accumulations (Zheng Jia), miasma malaria, nasal congestion, deafness, eye nebulae, and cold sensations in the yin regions. It repels evil spirits, detoxifies, kills parasites, and induces abortion. It also resolves accumulations caused by spoiled fruit and wine, treating fruit accumulation and wine accumulation. (Li Dongyuan said: Moschus (Shexiang) enters the Spleen to treat flesh diseases; Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis) enters the Liver to treat tendon diseases; Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum) enters the Kidney to treat bone diseases.) Its nature is roaming, penetrating, and soaring; internally it penetrates to the bone marrow, and externally it reaches the skin and hair. Li Dongyuan stated that it searches out wind from the bone marrow. If the wind pathogen is only in the muscles, misusing it will instead draw the wind into the bones. Zhu Danxi stated that for wind affecting the five Zang organs, Moschus (Shexiang) should be avoided because it drains Wei Qi. Therefore, for conditions characterized by deficiency, it should not be used. If absolutely necessary, it should be used in small doses. People with chronic deficiency consumptive diseases and pregnant women should not wear it. It should be ground into powder for use. When using it, the "Dangmenzi" (the best part of the musk pod) is especially excellent. Garlic is contraindicated. Do not let it approach the nose to prevent insects from entering the brain. (When hunted, the musk deer self-removes the glandular sac where the scent accumulates, causing surrounding vegetation to turn yellow; merchants sometimes adulterate it with lychee seeds.)
Sweet, sour, warm. Treats regurgitation and vomiting. (Burned to ash, mixed with a small amount of Cinnabar (Zhusha) powder, placed under the tongue; very effective.) Urine. (Rub teeth and nose with ginger or garlic, or insert raw green onion into the nostrils, and urine will be released.) Treats earwigs and other insects entering the ears; dripping the solution causes them to exit. Meat treats chronic wasting diseases (Lao Zhu), scrofula (Shu Lou), and gu poison. Saliva treats scrofula (Luo Li). (Puncture and apply topically.)
Ancient name: Huan, pronounced "Duan".
Sweet, sour, neutral. Promotes muscle growth. (Lean people boil and eat it with five flavors; Zong Shi said: Among wild beasts, only Huan meat is the most delicious and beneficial for lean individuals.) Treats deficiency and exhaustion of upper Qi, coughing, reverse flow of Qi, and consumption fever. (Boil and eat with five flavors.) Treats edema (Shui Zhang) that has persisted without cure. (For those near death, make into a soup and eat; it greatly promotes urination; *Shenghui Fang* uses polished rice cooked hot.) Treats dysentery with red and white discharge that has persisted without cure. (Boil the meat, leave exposed overnight, and eat empty-stomached with sauce; one meal brings recovery.)
