《药性考》:油胭脂性味平和,由猪脂(豕膏)调和制成,能滋润皮肤、治疗皲裂,具有活血功效,可用于点涂痘疮。西北风沙大,涂抹于面部可舒缓皱纹,防止手部龟裂,古人称其为“不龟手药”,这个名称并非虚传。它又被称为“碗儿胭脂”,因为用小锡碗盛装而得名。其色泽红润如膏状。
《百草镜》记载制造油胭脂的方法:取红花汁一杯,白蜡二两,用微火熔化,搅拌均匀,倒入磁盘内,待其凝结成薄饼状,用擀面杖反复碾压数百遍,则变得胶粘如膏药一般。假冒的油胭脂是用胭脂脚料制造的,不能入药。油胭脂能活血解毒,治疗痘疔,涂抹可治蜂咬伤,也可与珍珠末混合涂抹(依据《王氏准绳》)。
治疗痘疮中的燕窝疔:《救生苦海》记载,在痘疮初起时,为了预先避免损伤眼睛,可用临清或济宁产的好油胭脂点涂眼大眦(眼角)。
《普济方》中有四圣丹,用于治疗小儿痘疮中的疔毒,症状表现为痘疹紫黑且大,或发黑溃烂且有臭味,或痘中有一条黑线,此类痘证十有八九致死。只有都御史得到了此方的秘传,点涂效果最妙;配方为:将四十九粒豌豆烧至存性(保留药性),头发灰三分,珍珠十四粒,炒后研为细末,用油胭脂同捣成膏状。先用簪子挑破患处,吸去恶血,再取少许药膏点涂,痘疮即时变为红活之色。
乳头破裂:用油胭脂和蛤粉(水飞处理过的蛤粉)外敷即可(不用蛤粉也可以)。
治疗疹子引起的眼部病变:《眼科要览》记载,用鸡胆将油胭脂调匀,涂抹患处,即使眼球突出也能治愈。若无鸡胆,可用田鸡胆代替。
古时称为“屐”,现在称为“木套”。
用于治疗血风疮。《救生苦海》记载:用木套皮烧成灰,与东丹矾各一钱,研为细末,用菜油调和后涂抹。
火漆是制作胭脂时,用紫梗水染色脂胚后过滤剩下的渣滓。紫梗原名紫铆,产于波斯、真腊、南番等地,有一种像蚂蚁一样的小虫,在绿树枝上造成,情况与制造白蜡类似。杭州的胭脂制造者借用它来染色。然而如果只用紫梗一味药,颜色不能变红,必须配合黄叶水一起煎煮,颜色才会红艳,剩下的残渣就是火漆。入药只需将其研磨至极细,其中有枝梗无法被研磨的部分需筛除。
《物理小识》:火漆,又名紫胶。
治疗血崩:《救生苦海》记载:火漆不拘多少,放入无油的干净锅中令其融化,炒至无烟色,见到白烟升起时,退火取出,研为细末。空腹时用好酒送服三钱,重症者不超过三次服药即可痊愈。
肠风下血:《不药良方》记载:火漆三钱研成细末,用豆腐皮分包做成三十包,用白开水送服,重症者服用三次即可痊愈。
九种心痛:《神方考》记载:单用火漆一味,烧成灰并保留药性,每次服用一钱,送服后即可痊愈。
*Yao Xing Kao*: Youyanzhi (Oil Rouge) is neutral in nature. It is prepared by blending pig fat (Shigao), moisturizes the skin, treats fissures, promotes blood circulation, and can be used to apply on smallpox lesions. In the northwest where winds are high and dry, applying it to the face soothes wrinkles and prevents hand chapping; the ancient name "Bu Junshou Yao" (Medicine for Non-Chapped Hands) is not baseless. It is also known as "Wan'er Yanzhi" (Bowl Rouge) because it is stored in small tin bowls. Its color is ruddy like paste.
*Bai Cao Jing*: The method for manufacturing Youyanzhi: Take one cup of safflower juice and two taels of white beeswax, melt them over a gentle fire, stir evenly, pour into a porcelain dish, wait until it forms a thin cake, then roll it hundreds of times with a rolling pin until it becomes sticky like a plaster. Fake versions are made from rouge dregs and are not suitable for medicinal use. Youyanzhi promotes blood circulation, resolves toxicity, treats carbuncles in smallpox, and can be applied for bee stings. According to *Wang Shi Zhun Sheng*, it can be mixed with Zhenzhu Mo (Pearl Powder) for application.
Treating Yanwo Ding (Swallow's Nest Carbuncle) in smallpox: *Jiu Sheng Ku Hai* records that when smallpox first appears, to prevent eye damage in advance, apply good quality Youyanzhi from Linqing or Jining to the outer canthus of the eye.
*Pu Ji Fang* contains Sisheng Dan (Four Sages Pill) for treating ding poison in children's smallpox. Symptoms include pustules that are purple-black and large, or blackened and rotting with a foul odor, or containing a black line within the pustule. Such cases have a mortality rate of eight or nine out of ten. Only the Censor-in-Chief possessed this secret prescription, which is most effective when applied. The formula consists of forty-nine broad beans burned to retain their properties, three fen of hair ash, and fourteen pearls, all fried and ground into powder. Mix with Youyanzhi to form a paste. First, pierce the lesion with an awl, suck out the bad blood, then apply a small amount of the paste. The lesion will immediately turn red and vibrant.
Cracked nipples: Apply Youyanzhi mixed with Hefen (Calcined Concha Tridacnae processed by water levigation). Using Hefen is optional.
Treating eye conditions caused by measles: *Yan Ke Yao Lan* records using chicken gallbladder to mix evenly with Youyanzhi and apply. Even if the eyeball protrudes, it can heal. If chicken gallbladder is unavailable, bullfrog gallbladder can be substituted.
Anciently called "Ji", now known as "Mutao".
Used to treat Xuefeng Chuang (Blood Wind Sores). *Jiu Sheng Ku Hai* records: Burn Mutao Pi (Wood Sleeve Bark) to ash, mix with Dongdan Fan (East Dan Alum) each at one qian, grind into powder, and apply with rapeseed oil.
Huqi (Fire Lacquer) is the residue filtered after dyeing the grease base with Zijiao (Purple Lac) water to make rouge. Zijiao, originally named Zimao, originates from Persia, Chenla, Nanfan, etc. It involves tiny insects resembling ants creating structures on green branches, similar to how white wax is produced. Hangzhou rouge makers use it for dyeing. However, using only Zijiao does not yield a red color; Huangye Shui (Yellow Leaf Water) must be added and boiled together to achieve a bright red hue. The remaining residue is Huqi. For medicinal use, it must be ground extremely fine, and any unground branch fragments should be sifted out.
*Wu Li Xiao Shi*: Huqi is also known as Zijiao (Purple Lac).
Treating Beng Lou (Metrorrhagia): *Jiu Sheng Ku Hai* records: Take an appropriate amount of Huqi, melt it in a clean pot without oil, fry until smoke clears, remove when white smoke rises, let cool, and grind into powder. Take three qian with good wine on an empty stomach. Severe cases require no more than three doses.
Chang Feng Xia Xue (Intestinal Wind Bleeding): *Bu Yao Liang Fang* records: Grind three qian of Huqi into fine powder, divide into thirty packets wrapped in tofu skin, and take with boiling water. Severe cases heal after three doses.
Nine Types of Heartache: *Shen Fang Kao* records: Use only Huqi, burn to ash retaining its properties, take one qian per dose, and it heals upon administration.
