韭菜(专门入肝、肾、肠胃经)。味道辛微酸。药性温,无毒。按中医理论,辛味能发散,温性能通行。当滞气客居于肠胃时,血液会因气机阻滞而更加瘀阻。若胃气不能通达五脏,则会出现腰膝冷痛以及癖积(腹内结块)生成。肝主疏泄功能,肾主闭藏功能。肝肾虚弱则开阖失司,时机不当。《内经》说:足厥阴肝经发病会出现遗尿,以及白淫(指男子滑精、女子带下等病证)。服用韭菜后,气行血散,肝气得补,肾气得固,疾病怎有不愈的道理?所以医书有云:韭菜的味道对病患最为有利。凡是各种血瘀气滞等症状,都能使其立即见效。(朱震亨说:心痛如果有因吃热物,或因愤怒郁结,导致死血停留在胃口引起疼痛的,适宜用韭汁和桔梗加入药中,以升提气血。有因肾气上攻导致心痛的,适宜用韭汁配合五苓散制成丸药,空腹时用茴香汤送服。大概是因为韭菜性质急猛,能消散胃中的气血滞涩。另外,反胃症适宜用两杯韭汁,加入一杯姜汁、一杯牛乳,细细温热服用。因为韭汁能消解瘀血,姜汁能降气消痰调和胃气,牛乳能清热润燥补虚。《单方总录》说:食物咽不下去,是有火邪;食物吃下去很久又吐出来,是无火邪。士材又说这不必拘泥,只要诊察脉象大而有力,呕吐物酸臭,当作热证治疗;脉象小而无力,呕吐清水,当作寒证医治。面色黄白枯槁的是虚寒,红赤润泽的是实热。能够结合面色与脉象判断,才差不多不会出错。)如被狗或蛇咬伤,用此捣烂如泥,加少许盐,做成浓稠的药膏频繁更换敷贴即可平安。遭受刑杖殴打导致淤血凝结,薄敷并活动患处即可消散。久病下痢不止,同鲫鱼一起煮食即可停止。但是火邪炽盛、阴虚体质的人,使用韭菜是最为禁忌的。忌与蜂蜜、牛肉同食。(汪昂说:现在很多人喜欢用韭菜炒牛肉,味道非常鲜美,也未曾见其产生危害。另外查阅经典说:毒药攻伐邪气,五谷作为滋养,五畜作为补益,五菜作为充养,五果作为辅助。气味相合来阐明道理,以此补精益气。五菜包括韭、薤、葱、葵、藿。五果包括桃、李、枣、杏、栗。如果韭菜和水果都忌讳牛肉,那么经典为何又不说它们有禁忌呢?)
韭子
功效治疗大致相同,但在治疗遗精、白浊方面更为显著。(《素问》说:足厥阴肝经发病会出现遗尿,思虑无穷,房事过度,引发筋痿,以及白淫。男性随小便排出,女性绵绵不断流出。韭子治疗遗精漏泄、小便频数、女性带下病,能进入厥阴经,补充下焦肝及命门的不足。命门是藏精的府库,所以共同治疗如此病症。)采用蒸制、曝晒、炒制后研末使用。(《救急易方》记载:烟熏虫牙,用瓦片烧红,放置数粒韭子,滴几滴清油,待烟升起,用筒状工具吸引烟雾至痛处,良久之后,用温水漱口吐出,如有小虫出来即为有效。若未除尽,再次熏烤。)
[Humid and Pungent Category] Invigorating Blood and Unblocking Stagnation
Jiucai (Allium tuberosum, Chives) [specifically enters the Liver, Kidney, and Stomach/Intestines channels]. Flavor: Pungent with a slight sourness. Nature: Warm, non-toxic. According to theory, Pungency can disperse, and Warmth can promote circulation. When stagnant Qi lodges in the Stomach and Intestines, Blood becomes more obstructed due to Qi stagnation. If Stomach Qi fails to communicate with the Five Zang Organs, it leads to coldness and pain in the lower back and knees, as well as the formation of Pi masses (abdominal lumps). The Liver governs free flow (Shuxie), and the Kidney governs closure and storage (Bicang). Deficiency of the Liver and Kidney results in improper timing of opening and closing. The Classics state: "Disease of the Foot Jueyin channel manifests as enuresis and Baiyin (white turbidity discharge)." Taking this herb promotes Qi movement and Blood dispersion, tonifies the Liver, and secures the Kidney, ensuring recovery. Thus, medical texts say: "The flavor of chives is most beneficial for patients." It can bring immediate relief to all conditions involving Blood stasis and Qi stagnation. (Zhenheng stated: For heart pain caused by consuming hot food or anger-induced stagnation leading to fixed blood stasis in the stomach region causing pain, it is appropriate to add Jiucai juice and Jiegeng (Platycodon Root) to the prescription to lift and regulate Qi and Blood. For heart pain caused by Kidney Qi attacking upwards, it is appropriate to mix Jiucai juice with Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) to make pills, taken on an empty stomach with Fennel Decoction. This is because Jiucai has an urgent nature that disperses Qi and Blood stagnation in the Stomach. Furthermore, for regurgitation, two cups of Jiucai juice mixed with one cup of Ginger Juice and one cup of Milk should be taken slowly while warm. Jiucai juice dissolves blood stasis; Ginger Juice directs Qi downward, resolves phlegm, and harmonizes the Stomach; Milk clears heat, moistens dryness, and tonifies deficiency. *Danfang Zonglu* states: Inability to swallow indicates Fire; vomiting after a long time indicates lack of Fire. Shicai added that this need not be rigidly applied; if the pulse is large and forceful with sour-smelling vomit, treat as Heat; if the pulse is small and weak with clear water vomit, treat as Cold. Yellowish-white and withered complexion indicates Deficiency-Cold; reddish and glossy complexion indicates Excess-Heat. Combining complexion and pulse analysis ensures accuracy.) For dog or snake bites, crush fresh chives into a paste, add a little salt, apply thickly, and change frequently to ensure safety. For contusions from beating causing blood coagulation, apply thinly and move the area to dissipate the stasis. For chronic dysentery that does not stop, cook with crucian carp (*Carassius auratus*) and eat to halt symptoms. However, it is strictly contraindicated for those with excessive Fire or Yin deficiency. Contraindicated with Honey and Beef. (Wang Ang noted: Many people today stir-fry beef with chives, finding the taste excellent, without observing harm. Also, the Classics state: "Poisons attack pathogens; Grains nourish; Livestock benefit; Vegetables fill; Fruits assist." By combining flavors and natures, essence and Qi are tonified. The Five Vegetables include Jiu, Xie, Cong, Kui, and Huo. The Five Fruits include Tao, Li, Zao, Xing, and Li. If chives and fruits were truly contraindicated with beef, why would the Classics not mention such prohibitions?)
Jiu Zi (Allii Tuberosi Semen, Chive Seed)
Functions and treatments are roughly similar, but it is superior in treating spermatorrhea and leukorrhea. (*Suwen* states: "Disease of the Foot Jueyin channel manifests as enuresis. Endless thoughts and excessive sexual intercourse lead to Sinew Atrophy and Baiyin. Males pass it with urine; females have continuous discharge." Jiu Zi treats spermatorrhea, leakage, frequent urination, and female leukorrhea by entering the Jueyin channel and tonifying deficiencies in the Lower Jiao Liver and Mingmen (Gate of Life). Mingmen is the residence storing Essence, hence it treats these conditions jointly.) Use after steaming, sun-drying, frying, and grinding. (*Jiuji Yifang*: For toothache caused by worms/smoke, heat a tile until red, place several Jiu Zi seeds on it, add a few drops of sesame oil. When smoke rises, use a tube to direct the smoke to the painful area. After some time, rinse and spit with warm water. Effectiveness is confirmed if small worms emerge. If not fully resolved, fumigate again.)
