（凡使用羚羊角，以角长且节数多者为佳。通常有二十四节，角内含有天然形成的木质核心。此角具有神力，能抵撞下方的牛。使用时不可单独使用，必须选用未折断的完整对生角，用绳子捆扎好，用铁锉将其锉成细末，层层严密包裹以防风吹，随取随用，捣碎筛成极细粉末，再研磨上万次后入药，以免刮伤人的肠道。）
【气味】
味咸，性寒，无毒。
【主治】
明目益气，起阴气，去除恶血下注之症，辟除蛊毒、恶鬼及不祥之气，使人常不做噩梦睡眠安稳，祛除邪气、惊梦、狂越及行为荒谬失常。治疗伤寒时气引起的寒热，热邪在肌肤之间；湿风毒邪潜伏在骨缝间；以及饮食噎塞不通。长期服用可强健筋骨，轻身延年，起阴益气。治疗中风引起的筋脉挛急、附骨疼痛。将羚羊角研末，用蜂蜜调服，可治疗突然中暑昏闷及热毒痢疾、便血、疝气。用水磨涂敷可治肿毒。治疗一切热毒风邪攻注之症，中恶毒风导致的猝死、神志昏乱不识人。散产后恶血冲心导致的心烦胸闷，烧成灰后用酒送服。治疗小儿惊痫。治疗山瘴及噎塞。治疗惊悸烦闷、心胸恶气、瘰疬、恶疮、溪毒。平肝舒筋，定风安魂，散血下气，辟恶解毒。治疗子痫痉疾。羊为火畜，而羚羊属木，故其角入厥阴肝经甚为迅速，这是同气相求的道理。肝主木，开窍于目，发病时出现目暗障翳，而羚羊角能平复它。肝主风，合于筋，发病时出现小儿惊痫、妇人子痫、大人中风、抽搐及筋脉挛急、历节掣痛，而羚羊角能舒缓它。魂是肝的神志，发病则惊骇不安、狂越荒谬、噩梦猝发，而羚羊角能安定它。血是肝所藏，发病则瘀滞下注、疝痛毒痢、疮肿、产后血气病，而羚羊角能消散它。相火寄居于肝胆，在情志表现为怒，发病则烦闷气逆、噎塞不通、寒热及伤寒伏热，而羚羊角能降泄它。羚羊性灵，筋骨之精汇聚于角，故又能辟邪恶而解诸毒。《本经》和《别录》对其功效记载甚详，但近代世俗之人很少能发扬光大，可惜啊。
(When using Antelope Horn, select those that are very long. It typically has twenty-four nodes and contains a naturally formed wooden core inside. This horn possesses divine power to butt against cattle below. When preparing it, do not use it alone; one must choose intact, unbroken paired horns, bind them with rope, grind them into fine powder using an iron file, wrap them tightly in layers to avoid wind exposure, take only what is needed for immediate use, crush and sieve into extremely fine powder, and then grind ten thousand times before incorporating into medicine, to prevent scraping the human intestines.)
[Flavor and Nature]
Salty, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications]
Brightens the eyes and benefits Qi, raises Yin, eliminates downward flow of evil blood, wards off gu poison, malevolent ghosts, and inauspicious influences, prevents nightmares and ensures peaceful sleep, dispels pathogenic factors, treats nightmare-induced insomnia, mania, and aberrant behavior. Treats cold-heat alternating symptoms in Shanghan (Cold Damage) and Shiqi (Epidemic Febrile Disease) where heat resides in the skin and muscles; treats damp-wind toxin lurking between bones; and treats dysphagia due to food obstruction. Long-term consumption strengthens sinews and bones, lightens the body, raises Yin, and benefits Qi. Treats tendon spasms and deep bone pain caused by Wind-Stroke. Grind the horn into powder and mix with honey for oral administration to treat sudden heat stroke, heat-toxic dysentery with bloody stool, and hernia. Apply water-mixed paste topically to treat swelling and toxins. Treats all conditions caused by heat-toxic wind attacking and flowing through the body, sudden death from malignant wind poisoning, confusion, and inability to recognize people. Disperses postpartum evil blood rushing to the heart causing irritability and chest stuffiness; burn to ash and administer with wine. Treats infantile convulsions and epilepsy. Treats mountain miasma and dysphagia. Treats palpitations, irritability, chest discomfort, and malignant qi in the chest and heart. Treats scrofula, malignant sores, and stream toxins. Calms the Liver, relaxes sinews, stabilizes Wind, and anchors the Soul. Disperses blood and directs Qi downward, wards off evil, and resolves toxins. Treats eclampsia and spasm disorders. Sheep are Fire animals, but Antelopes belong to Wood; therefore, their horns enter the Jueyin Liver Meridian rapidly, following the principle of similar energies attracting each other. The Liver governs Wood and opens into the eyes; when diseased, vision becomes dim and obscured, which Antelope Horn can calm. The Liver governs Wind and harmonizes with sinews; when diseased, it causes infantile convulsions, maternal eclampsia, adult Wind-Stroke, twitching, tendon spasms, and joint pulling pain, which Antelope Horn can relieve. The Hun (Ethereal Soul) is the spirit of the Liver; when diseased, it causes fright, restlessness, mania, aberration, and sudden nightmares, which Antelope Horn can soothe. Blood is stored by the Liver; when diseased, it causes stasis and downward flow, hernia pain, toxic dysentery, swelling, and postpartum blood-Qi disorders, which Antelope Horn can disperse. Ministerial Fire resides in the Liver and Gallbladder, manifesting emotionally as anger; when diseased, it causes irritability, rebellious Qi, dysphagia, cold-heat sensations, and latent heat in Shanghan, which Antelope Horn can descend. The Antelope is spiritual, and the essence of sinews and bones concentrates in its horn; thus, it can also ward off evil and resolve various toxins. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* and *Bencao Mingyi Lu* record its efficacy extensively, yet modern commoners rarely appreciate or promote it. What a pity.)
