别名：花乳石
【禁忌】
严重损耗阴血。凡是虚劳导致的吐血，多因火气上炎逼迫血液上行所致，应当使用滋阴降火的方法治疗，不宜服用此药。如果没有瘀血停滞积聚，胸膈部位没有固定刺痛感的，也忌用。
【功效】
味酸、涩，性平，专入肝经的血分，能将瘀血化为水液（消散），止住金创（金属利器造成的伤口）出血，排出死胎及胞衣。恶血消散后，胞胎通道便无阻碍。
【炮制】
产于陕西华州等地，质地坚硬，颜色发黄。采挖后，用罐子密封顶部，用火煅烧以去除火毒，然后研成细粉，用水飞法处理，晒干后使用。
【禁忌】
其功效在于消除积滞、坠化痰涎，确实是一味重要的药物。然而其攻伐之力太过，性质又沉重下坠，只有对于积滞症结、脾胃强壮结实的人才能使用。如果是体质虚弱者则忌用。小儿惊风痰盛、食积实热，在初发阶段可以使用；若是虚寒久病者则忌用。王隐君制定滚痰丸的法则，认为百病皆由痰引起，无论虚实寒热一概使用，这非常不妥。不知道痰有两种成因：一种是因脾胃不能运化，积滞生痰，或多食酒面等湿热之物，导致痰液胶固稠粘，咯吐困难，这种情况使用它可以豁痰利窍，除热泄结，效果应如桴鼓相应（迅速显著）；另一种是因阴虚火炎，煎熬津液，凝结为痰，或伴有发热声哑、痰中带血，如果误服此药，则阴更虚，阳火反而炽盛，痰热未退，而脾胃先被败坏。前人制定的方剂难免有弊端，关键在于后人善于甄别选择。
【功效】
味甘、咸，性平，入肺、胃、大肠经，能平肝下气，化解顽痰痞结，推动食积停留的消散。
【炮制】
产于江北诸山，有青、白两种，以质地坚细、颜色青黑且中间有白色星点者为佳。用一个坩埚，将蒙石打碎，加入等分的硝石拌匀，用炭火簇拥固定，煅烧至完全熔化，石头颜色变成金色为止。取出的如果没有金星，就不入药。研成粉末，用水飞法处理，去除火毒，晒干后使用。
Huairui Shi (Flower Nipple Stone)
Alternative Name: Hua Ru Shi (Flower Milk Stone)
[Contraindications]
Severely damages Yin blood. In cases of hemoptysis due to deficiency consumption, the pathology is often caused by fire flaring up and forcing blood to ascend; treatment should employ methods to nourish Yin and descend fire. This herb is not suitable for such conditions. It is also contraindicated in the absence of blood stasis accumulation or fixed stabbing pain in the chest and diaphragm.
[Therapeutic Effects]
Acidic and astringent in taste, neutral in nature, it specifically enters the Liver meridian blood level. It can transform blood stasis into fluid, stop bleeding from metal wounds, and expel dead fetus and placenta. Once the evil blood is resolved, the pathway of the uterus becomes unobstructed.
[Processing]
Originates from regions such as Huazhou in Shaanxi. The stone is hard and yellow in color. After harvesting, seal the top of a jar, calcine over fire to remove "fire toxicity," grind into fine powder, process by water levigation, and dry in the sun for use.
Qingmeng Shi (Green Mica Stone)
[Contraindications]
Its efficacy lies in eliminating stagnation and sinking phlegm-saliva, making it indeed an important medicine. However, its attacking power is too strong, and its nature is heavy and descending. It may only be used for patients with stagnation syndromes who have strong and solid Spleen and Stomach Qi. It is contraindicated for those with weak constitutions. For pediatric convulsions with phlegm or food stagnation with excess heat, it may be used in the initial stage; however, it is contraindicated for chronic deficiency-cold conditions. Wang Yinjun’s method for formulating Guntan Wan posits that all diseases arise from phlegm, advocating its use regardless of deficiency/excess or cold/heat patterns, which is highly inappropriate. One must understand that phlegm has two origins:
1. Due to the Spleen and Stomach's inability to transport and transform, leading to stagnation generating phlegm, or excessive consumption of alcohol and wheat products causing damp-heat, resulting in thick, sticky phlegm that is difficult to expectorate. In such cases, this herb can open the orifices, clear heat, and resolve accumulation, yielding rapid results like a drumstick striking a drum.
2. Due to Yin deficiency with fire flaring up, scorching body fluids and condensing them into phlegm, accompanied by fever, hoarseness, or blood mixed with sputum. If mistakenly taken, Yin will become further deficient, Yang fire will flare more fiercely, and before the phlegm-heat recedes, the Spleen and Stomach will already be damaged. Predecessors' prescriptions inevitably had flaws; the key lies in later generations' ability to select wisely.
[Therapeutic Effects]
Sweet and salty in taste, neutral in nature, it enters the Lung, Stomach, and Large Intestine meridians. It can calm the Liver, direct Qi downward, resolve stubborn phlegm and epigastric fullness, and promote the resolution of retained food stagnation.
[Processing]
Originates from mountains in Jiangbei. There are green and white varieties; the best quality is hard, fine, dark green-black with white star-like spots inside. Place one crucible, crush the Mengshi, mix with an equal amount of Niter (Potassium Nitrate), secure around charcoal fire, and calcine until completely melted. The stone should turn golden in color. Extract stones lacking gold stars are not used in medicine. Grind into powder, process by water levigation, remove fire toxicity, and dry in the sun for use.
