蒸饼主要功效为消食、滋养脾胃、温中散寒、化解积滞、益气调和气血、止汗、通利三焦、疏通水道。（出自《本草纲目》）
【名称】（李时珍说：）
据考证，（刘熙在《释名》中说：）“饼”字意为“并”，即揉和面粉使其合并。有蒸饼、汤饼、胡饼、索饼、酥饼等种类，都是根据形状来命名的。
【味道】甘。
【性质】平。
【炮制】（李时珍说：）小麦面制作的食品很多，只有蒸饼的历史最悠久。它是用酒糟发酵制成的单面制品，也是制作丸药所需要的材料，而且能治病，但本草典籍中未记载，这也是一个缺漏。只有在腊月及寒食节蒸制的，待表皮裂开后去皮，悬挂风干，临时用水浸泡胀发，捣烂过滤后使用，与调理脾胃及三焦的药物配合，极易消化。且经过发酵的面粉其性已变，不助长湿热。那些以水果、蔬菜、油腻之物为馅料的，不堪入药。
【治疗】（疗治：）
崩中下血：将陈年蒸饼烧至存性，用米汤送服三钱。
盗汗、自汗：每晚睡觉时，带着饥饿感吃一枚蒸饼，不过数日即可停止。
一切折伤伤寒：食用蒸饼研成粉末，每次服用二钱，用酒送下，效果显著。
汤火烫伤：馒头饼烧至存性，研成粉末，用油调匀涂抹患处。
【合治】（配伍应用）（李时珍说：）
据考证，（《爱竹谈薮》记载：）宋宁宗在做郡王时，患淋证，日夜排尿达三百次，御医们束手无策。有人推荐孙琳治疗。孙琳用蒸饼、大蒜、淡豆豉三味药捣碎制成丸剂，令患者用温水送服三十丸，说：“今天进服三次，病情应当减轻三分之一；明天也这样；三天后病除。”后来果然如此，皇帝赐给他千贯钱。有人问其中的道理，孙琳说：“小孩子怎么会得淋证？只是水道不通利罢了。这三味药都能通利水道，像孙琳这样的人，才可以与他谈论医学啊。”
积年下血：用寒食节蒸制的蒸饼、乌龙尾各一两，皂角七挺（去皮，用酥油炙烤），研成粉末，炼蜜为丸，米汤送服，每次二十丸。
下痢赤白：因营卫气虚，风邪侵袭肠胃之间，导致痢疾赤白相间，脐腹疼痛，里急后重，烦渴胀满，不进饮食。用干蒸饼二两拌蜜炒，御米壳四两拌蜜炒，研成粉末，炼蜜为丸，大小如芡子。每次服用一丸，用水一盏煎化，热服。

Zhengbing (Steamed Wheat Cake) primarily functions to digest food, nourish the Spleen and Stomach, warm the Middle Jiao, resolve stagnation, benefit Qi, harmonize Blood, stop sweating, unblock the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), and promote water passage. (From *Bencao Gangmu* / *Compendium of Materia Medica*)
[Names] (Li Shizhen stated:)
According to research, (Liu Xi in *Shiming* said:) The character "Bing" (Cake/Bread) means "to combine," referring to kneading flour so that it merges together. There are types such as Zhengbing (Steamed Cake), Tangbing (Boiled Noodle/Cake), Hubing (Hu-style Flatbread), Suobing (Rope-shaped Noodle), and Subing (Butter-rich Bread), all named according to their shapes.
[Taste] Sweet.
[Nature] Neutral.
[Processing] (Li Shizhen stated:) There are many foods made from wheat flour, but Zhengbing has the most ancient origin. It is made from single-layer dough fermented with wine lees. It is required for making pills and can treat diseases, yet it is not recorded in classical Materia Medica texts, which is an omission. Only those steamed during the twelfth lunar month or on Cold Food Festival, peeled after the skin cracks, hung up to dry naturally, soaked in water until swollen when needed, pounded into a paste, and filtered, should be used. When combined with herbs regulating the Spleen/Stomach and Sanjiao, they are easily digested. Furthermore, the nature of the fermented flour has changed and does not aggravate damp-heat. Those filled with fruits, vegetables, or greasy substances are unsuitable for medicinal use.
[Treatments] (Therapeutic applications:)
Metrorrhagia and Metrorrhaxis: Burn aged Zhengbing to retain its carbonized essence (*Cunxing*), take 3 qian with rice decoction.
Night sweats and Spontaneous Sweating: Eat one piece of Zhengbing while slightly hungry before going to bed each night; it will cease within a few days.
All types of traumatic injuries and Shanghan (Cold Damage): Consume Zhengbing ground into powder, take 2 qian per dose with wine; highly effective.
Scalds and Burns: Burn Mantoubing (Steamed Bun) to retain its carbonized essence, grind into powder, mix with oil, and apply topically.
[Combination Therapies] (Prescription Applications) (Li Shizhen stated:)
According to research, (*Aizhu Tansou* records:) When Emperor Ningzong of Song was still a Prince, he suffered from Lin syndrome (Dysuria/Strangury), urinating three hundred times day and night. Imperial physicians were at a loss. Someone recommended Sun Lin for treatment. Sun Lin used Zhengbing, Garlic, and Dan Dou Chi (Prepared Soybean) mashed together to make pills, instructing the patient to take thirty pills with warm water. He said, "Take three doses today, and the illness should reduce by one-third; do the same tomorrow; the illness will be cured in three days." This indeed came true, and he was rewarded with a thousand strings of cash. When asked about the rationale, Sun Lin said, "How could a child suffer from Lin syndrome? It is merely due to obstructed water passages. These three substances can all unblock and promote flow. Only someone like Sun Lin can discuss medicine."
Chronic Hematochezia: Use Zhengbing from Cold Food Festival and Wulongwei (Oolong Tail) each 1 liang, plus seven stalks of Zaojiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit) (peeled, roasted with butter). Grind into powder, refine honey to make pills, take 20 pills per dose with rice decoction.
Dysentery with Red and White Discharge: Caused by deficiency of Ying and Wei Qi, with Wind pathogen invading the intestines and stomach, leading to dysentery with red and white discharge, abdominal pain, tenesmus, thirst, distension, and anorexia. Use 2 liang of dried Zhengbing mixed with honey and stir-fried, and 4 liang of Yumiqiao (Poppy Shell) mixed with honey and stir-fried. Grind into powder, refine honey to make pills the size of Euphorbia seed (Qianzi). Take one pill per dose, decoct in one cup of water, and drink hot.
