【主治】
治疗筋骨间的毒风引起的痉挛、拘急、屈伸不利,以及游走性疼痛。治疗恶疮、鼠瘰(淋巴结核)、犬咬伤中毒。给初生婴儿煎汤洗澡,可以辟除恶气,去除疮疥、惊痫、鬼疰(一种传染病或精神异常症状),使孩子长大后无病。虎骨通常可以使用。凡是辟除邪疰、治疗惊痫、温疟、疮疽、头风的,应当使用虎头骨;治疗腰背诸风的,应当使用虎脊骨;治疗手足诸风的,应当使用虎胫骨。这是遵循“各从其类”的原则。但是老虎全身的筋节和气力,都出自前足,所以以虎胫骨为最佳。
(凡使用虎骨时,要去掉肉柱,用醋浸泡一夜,焙干,用刀刮去表皮像栗子壳一样的部分,使其洁净后方可使用,以免伤害人的肺脏,引起上气喘息。)
【气味】
味辛,性大温,无毒。属阳,性浮。入足阳明胃经和手阳明大肠经。然而其辛热之性容易耗散正气,能扰动脾肺之火,多用会导致眼睛昏花。
【主治】
温中散寒,降逆下气。补益腰脚。去除腥气。帮助消化。除去胃冷、阴疝癖积、霍乱冷气、心痛及血气痛、水样腹泻及虚性痢疾、呕吐反酸。产后泄痢,与阿魏配合使用效果良好。若与诃子、人参、桂心、干姜同用,治疗脏腑虚冷、肠鸣有奇效。治疗头痛、鼻渊(鼻窦炎)、牙痛。但荜茇主要走肠胃,对于因冷气引起的呕吐、心腹满痛者适宜。多服会耗泄真气,导致肠道空虚、下坠感加重。
[Odor and Flavor]
Slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. It possesses pure yang properties and enters the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian (Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin).
[Indications]
It promotes blood circulation and relieves pain. It treats wind-water toxic swelling, urticaria with itching and toxicity, cholera, and zhong-e (sudden acute illness caused by inhaling foul qi). It expels evil qi, supports the expulsion of toxins while protecting the heart, invigorates blood, and relaxes sinews. It is used for difficult labor in women and traumatic injuries. Since frankincense has a pungent and penetrating aroma that enters the Heart Meridian, it is employed in Neituo Huxin San (Internal Support to Protect the Heart Powder) to penetrate deeply into the abscess, allowing toxic pathogens to exit from the exterior and preventing them from attacking inward.
[Odor and Flavor]
Sweet in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic. (After harvesting, it should not be smelled with the nose, as it contains tiny white insects invisible to the naked eye; if these enter the human nose, they are called "chong sang" (worm palate), and the material becomes unfit for medicinal use.)
[Indications]
It generates essence and replenishes marrow, nourishes blood, and benefits yang. It strengthens sinews and bones. It treats cold deficiency of the kidneys and lower back in men, weakness in the feet and knees, nocturnal emissions or wet dreams involving sexual intercourse, and spontaneous seminal emission. It treats metrorrhagia and leukorrhea (red and white vaginal discharge) in women. It addresses various deficiency syndromes, deafness, dim vision, vertigo, and deficiency-type dysentery. A Daoist priest at a market in Shu sold Banlong Wan (Banyuan Pill), also known as Rongzhu Dan (Velvet Pearl Elixir). He sang loudly while drunk: "When the Weilu [gate at the base of the spine] cannot hold back the ocean's depletion, even the Nine-Turn Spiritual Elixir is spoken of lightly. Only the pearl on top of the Banyuan can repair the deficiency below the Yutang [chest]." This formula likely utilizes Lurong (Deer Antler Velvet), Lu Jiao Jiao (Deer Antler Glue), and Lu Jiao Shuang (Deer Antler Frost).
[Odor and Flavor]
Pungent in taste, slightly hot in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications]
It treats toxic wind affecting sinews and bones, causing spasms, stiffness, and inability to flex or extend, as well as migrating pain. It treats malignant sores, scrofula (tuberculous lymphadenitis), and dog bite poisoning. Decoction for bathing newborn infants wards off evil qi, removes sores, scabies, convulsions, and gui zhu (ghostly infections/epidemic diseases), ensuring the child grows up healthy. Tiger bone is generally usable. For warding off evil infections, treating convulsions, warm malaria, carbuncles, and head wind, the tiger skull bone should be used. For treating wind affecting the waist and back, the tiger vertebral bone should be used. For treating wind affecting the hands and feet, the tiger tibial bone should be used. This follows the principle of "each using its own kind." However, since the tendons, joints, strength, and energy of the tiger are concentrated in the forelimbs, the tibial bone is considered superior.
(When processing tiger bone, remove the meat and cartilage attachments. Soak in vinegar overnight, bake until dry, and scrape off the outer skin resembling chestnut shell with a knife until clean before use. This prevents injury to the lungs and avoids causing upper qi rebellion.)
[Odor and Flavor]
Pungent in taste, greatly warm in nature, non-toxic. It is yang in nature and floating in action. It enters the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. However, its pungent and hot nature tends to dissipate qi and can stir fire in the Spleen and Lung. Overuse may cause visual blurring.
[Indications]
It warms the middle jiao, directs rebellious qi downward, tonifies the waist and legs, eliminates fishy odors, aids digestion, and dispels stomach cold, yin hernia, and pi masses. It treats cold-type cholera, heart pain, blood stasis pain, watery diarrhea, deficiency dysentery, vomiting, acid regurgitation, and postpartum diarrhea/dysentery. It works well when combined with Asarum (Awei). When combined with Chebulae Fructus (Hezi), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin), and Zingiberis Rhizoma (Ganjiang), it is highly effective for treating cold deficiency of the zang-fu organs and borborygmus. It treats headache, sinusitis (bi yuan), and toothache. However, Bi Bo primarily acts on the intestines and stomach; it is suitable for cases of vomiting and abdominal fullness/pain caused by cold qi. Excessive consumption depletes true qi, leading to intestinal emptiness and a sensation of heaviness/prolapse in the lower body.
