陈良翰说:新鲜的烟叶有毒,人吃了就会中毒,发病后难以治疗;它的茎毒性更烈。登州、莱州一带的人用它来毒鱼。凡是溪塘中难以捕捉的大鱼,用这种方法毒杀它们;使用烟茎无论是干是湿都可以,将其切碎,与青胡桃皮一起捣烂,放入水中,大约一顿饭的功夫,大鱼就像喝醉了一样浮在水面上,小鱼则全部死亡。即使是鳗鱼、黄鳝、乌龟、虾、鳖、蟹、蚌、蛤等生物,也会被一并击毙。其毒性猛烈到了这种程度,然而用这些烟茎制作烟草,那么烟梗的味道就淡了,远远不如烟叶的味道浓郁。
治疗脑漏(鼻渊)。杨春涯的经验方:取半斤烟叶,晒干,研磨成极细的粉末,调入四两花露,再次晒干,用玫瑰饼再研磨后吹入鼻腔。吸食“兰花烟”导致脑漏的人,可以用白鲞脊骨燃烧产生的烟雾熏蒸,几天即可痊愈。“兰花”是江西商人带来的一种兰子,也就是泽兰子。气味香烈,取其种子研磨拌入烟草中,称为“兰花烟”。人吸食后口中会有兰花香,但其气窜上行,往往直冲头顶损伤脑部,容易形成脑漏。叶天士在种福堂的方剂:治疗风寒湿气引起的骨节疼痛、痿痹麻木不仁、鹤膝风、历节风、偏头痛、漏肩风等症状。有一种膏药,中间使用新鲜烟叶捣汁,浸泡松香,晒干后入药,也是利用其气味来透利经络。
毒蛇咬伤:《慈航活人书》记载:先避开风口,挤出恶血,用生烟叶捣烂敷在伤口上,如果没有鲜叶就用干的,研成末敷上,即烟油或烟灰都可以。《不药良方》记载:治疗毒蛇及毒虫咬伤。用鱼腥草、皱面草、烟叶、草决明等量,捣烂敷在患处。
驱除臭虫:《活人书》记载用烟叶铺在床上代替褥子,或者燃烧熏蒸,臭虫就会绝迹。
年代久远、颜色发黑且带有毛刺的竹子,男子使用的烟杆品质较好。
《秋灯丛话》记载:新昌县姓张的人家,使用竹制烟管五十多年,颜色像漆一样黑亮,可以照见人影,视若珍宝,即使是亲戚好友也不轻易借出。
有人母亲患病没有买药的钱,当掉了两串钱,典当行的主人患有损病(虚损之症),各种药物都无效,有人说非多年的竹烟管不能治愈。于是取来张某的物品截成几寸长,煎汤服用后痊愈。后来酬谢张某巨额金钱。
陈毅斋说:烟杆虽然受到烟火熏渍的气息,但如果不借助人气和津液逐渐浸润渗透,一定不会酥透。那些经过男子长期使用的烟杆,光泽可以照人。一旦经过妇人口唇接触,颜色就会暗淡不鲜明,而且多有直裂纹。烟杆最忌讳粪便,凡是将多年的好烟杆拿着去厕所,会使烟杆变得光涩。如果是象牙做的烟杆就会裂开走油不堪使用,物品的性质相互禁忌就是如此。
杀灭蛊毒、传尸痨(肺结核等慢性消耗性疾病),涂抹恶疮;劈取中心油脂通透且酥软的烟杆部分;捣碎如糊状涂于疮口结痂处,或者摊在油纸上贴敷治疗虫膈(寄生虫引起的胸膈病症)。
《百草镜》记载:毒蛇咬伤,先用妇女旧的油头绳扎住肿胀处上方,不要让绳子压在肿处,再用耳垢封住止痛。随即使用多年油黑的竹烟筒杆,紫色的也可以,毛竹的更好。取约三寸长的一段,咀嚼咽下汁液,渣滓味淡则吐出,并取出杆中的油脂涂抹患处。烟杆味道辛辣,服用后反而变甜,蛇毒也随之解除,疼痛停止自然痊愈。尝试过的人很多都有效。凡是蛇咬伤有蛇齿留在肉内的,用烟油涂抹自然会排出。
妇人血崩(大量出血):刘怡轩说:凡是治疗血崩的各种药物无效的,使用多年的旧烟杆,紫色且油脂通透的为好。截取一寸烧成灰,黄色……
Chen Lianghan stated: Fresh tobacco leaves are toxic; ingestion causes poisoning, which is difficult to treat once symptoms appear. The stems are even more potent. People in Dengzhou and Laizhou use them to poison fish. For large fish in streams and ponds that are hard to catch, this method is employed. Whether dry or wet tobacco stems can be used, they should be chopped, pounded together with green walnut husks, and placed in water. Within the time it takes to eat a meal, large fish float to the surface as if intoxicated, while smaller ones die. Even eels, loaches, turtles, shrimp, crabs, clams, and mussels are killed simultaneously. The toxicity is so fierce. However, when these stems are used to make smoking tobacco, the flavor of the stems becomes mild, far inferior to the rich flavor of the leaves.
Treatment for Nasal Discharge (Nasal Septum Perforation/Chronic Rhinitis): Empirical prescription by Yang Chunya: Take half a jin (approx. 500g) of tobacco leaves, dry them in the sun, grind into an extremely fine powder, mix with four liang (approx. 400ml) of flower dew, dry again, then grind with rose cakes and insufflate into the nose. For those suffering from nasal discharge due to smoking "Orchid Tobacco," smoke the dried backbones of white salted fish and inhale the smoke; recovery occurs within several days. "Orchid" refers to a type of orchid seed brought by Jiangxi merchants, specifically *Eupatorium fortunei* seeds. It has a strong, fragrant aroma. The seeds are ground and mixed into tobacco, named "Orchid Tobacco." Smokers perceive an orchid fragrance, but its qi ascends sharply, often damaging the brain at the vertex, easily leading to nasal discharge. Prescription from Ye Tianshi's Zhongfu Hall: Treats bone and joint pain, flaccidity, numbness, and bi-syndrome caused by wind-cold-dampness, as well as knee-crane wind, generalized joint wind, hemicephalic leakage, and frozen shoulder. A certain plaster uses juice from fresh tobacco leaves to soak frankincense (*Resina Olibanum*), dried and added to the medicine, utilizing its aroma to penetrate and unblock the meridians.
Snake Bites: Recorded in *Cihang Huoren Shu*: First, avoid wind and squeeze out the poisoned blood. Apply pounded raw tobacco leaves to the wound. If fresh leaves are unavailable, use dried leaves ground into powder. Tobacco oil or soot can also be used. *Bu Yao Liang Fang* records treatment for snake and venomous insect bites: Use equal parts Houttuynia (*Houttuyniae Herba*), wrinkled-face grass, tobacco leaf, and Cassia Seed (*Cassiae Semen*). Pound until mushy and apply externally.
Repelling Bedbugs: *Huoren Shu* records using tobacco leaves spread on the bed as a mattress substitute, or burning them to fumigate, which eliminates bedbugs completely.
Bamboo pipes that are old, dark-colored, and hairy are considered superior if used by men.
*Qiudeng Conghua* records: A man surnamed Zhang in Xinchang County used a bamboo pipe for over fifty years. It became black as lacquer and shiny enough to reflect images. He treasured it like a precious jade, rarely lending it even to close relatives or friends.
A person whose mother was ill lacked funds for medicine and pawned two strings of cash. The pawnshop owner suffered from a deficiency disease (*Xu Sun*) for which all medicines failed. Someone suggested that only a multi-year-old bamboo pipe could cure him. Thus, a piece of Zhang's pipe was cut into inches-long segments, decocted in water, and taken orally, resulting in recovery. Later, he rewarded Zhang with a huge sum of money.
Chen Yizhai said: Although tobacco pipes absorb the fumes of fire and smoke, they must be gradually permeated by human breath and saliva to become soft and penetrating. Pipes used by men for long periods develop a lustrous shine. Once touched by a woman's lips, the color becomes dull and lacks brilliance, often developing longitudinal cracks. Pipes are most sensitive to feces; carrying a good old pipe to the toilet makes it lose its gloss and become rough. Ivory pipes, conversely, crack and go rancid, becoming unusable. Such is the mutual incompatibility of material properties.
Used to kill gu poison and *Chuanshi Lao* (consumptive diseases like tuberculosis), apply to malignant ulcers. Split the center part of the pipe where the oil is transparent and soft; pound it into a paste and apply to ulcer crusts, or spread it on oiled paper to treat chest diaphragm disorders caused by parasites.
*Baicao Jing* records: For snake bites, first tie the swollen area tightly above the wound with an old oily hair rope worn by a woman, ensuring the rope does not press directly on the swelling. Then seal the area with earwax to stop pain. Subsequently, take a multi-year oily-black bamboo pipe section (purple ones are acceptable, hairy bamboo is best). Cut a segment about three cun long, chew it to swallow the juice, spit out the residue which tastes bland, and extract the oil from the pipe to apply to the affected area. Tobacco pipes taste spicy but become sweet after ingestion; the snake venom is resolved, pain stops, and natural healing follows. Many trials have proven effective. If snake teeth remain embedded in the flesh after a bite, applying tobacco oil will cause them to emerge naturally.
Sudden Profuse Uterine Bleeding (*Xue Beng*): Liu Yixuan stated: For cases of profuse uterine bleeding where all other medicines fail, use an old tobacco pipe from many years ago, preferably purple and oil-permeated. Cut one cun length, burn to ash, and use the yellow...
