【主治】心腹冷气,小儿五疳,辟疫,治肠风,通利气脉,女子血闭(《开宝》)。

【发明】宗 曰∶五灵脂引经有功,不能生血,此物入肝最速也。尝有人病目中翳。往
来不定,此乃血所病也。肝受血则能视,目病不治血,为背理也。用五灵脂之药而愈。又有
人被毒蛇所伤,良久昏愦。一老僧以酒调药二钱灌之,遂苏。仍以滓敷咬处,少顷复灌二钱

时珍曰∶五灵脂,足厥阴肝经药也。气味俱浓,阴中之阴,故入血分。肝主血,诸痛皆
属于木,诸虫皆生于风;故此药能治血病,散血和血而止诸痛。治惊痫,除疟痢,消积化痰
,疗疳杀虫,治血痹、血眼诸症,皆属肝经也。失笑散,不独治妇人心痛血痛;凡男女老幼
,一切心腹、胁肋、少腹痛,疝气,并胎前产后,血气作痛,及血崩经溢,百药不效者,俱
能奏功。屡用屡验,真近世神方也。又案∶李仲南云∶五灵脂治崩中,非只治血之药,乃去
风之剂。风,动物也,冲任经虚,被风伤袭营血,以致崩中暴下,与荆芥、防风治崩义同。
方悟古人识见,深奥如此。此亦一说,但未及肝血虚滞,亦自生风之意。

【修治】苏颂说:这种药多混杂沙石,极难处理。凡是使用,需研成细末,用酒搅拌以去除沙石,晒干后收藏备用。
【主治】心腹冷气(心腹部寒气凝滞),小儿五疳(五种小儿疳积病),辟疫(预防瘟疫),治疗肠风(便血),通利气脉,治疗女子经闭(《开宝本草》)。治疗伤冷积聚(苏颂)。凡是血崩过多者,将药半炒半生研为细末,用酒送服,能行血又能止血。治疗血气刺痛、各种腹痛、疝痛、血痢、肠风腹痛、身体血痹刺痛、肝疟疾发作时的寒热症状、反胃消渴,以及痰涎挟血形成的窠囊、血液充盈瞳孔、血凝导致的齿痛、重舌(舌下肿胀如小舌)、小儿惊风、五痫癫疾,杀虫,解药毒,以及被蛇、蝎、蜈蚣咬伤(李时珍)。
【发明】寇宗奭说:五灵脂在引经方面有功,但不能生血,此物入肝经速度最快。曾经有人患眼目翳障,位置往来不定,这是血分病变所致。肝受血滋养则能视物,眼病若不治血,违背医理。使用含有五灵脂的药物而痊愈。又有一人被毒蛇咬伤,许久后神志昏沉。一位老僧用酒调服药粉二钱灌下,病人随即苏醒。仍将药渣敷在咬伤处,片刻后又灌服二钱,痛苦全部消除。询问得知,这是一两五灵脂和半两雄黄,共同研为细末。此后有被蛇咬伤者,使用此方都有效。李时珍说:五灵脂是足厥阴肝经的药物。气味浓厚,属于阴中之阴,所以进入血分。肝主藏血,各种疼痛都与木(肝)有关,各种虫邪都生于风;因此此药能治疗血病,散血和血从而停止各种疼痛。治疗惊痫,消除疟疾和痢疾,消除积滞化痰,治疗疳积杀虫,治疗血痹、血眼等各种病症,都属于肝经范畴。失笑散,不仅治疗妇人心痛血痛;凡是男女老少,一切心腹、胁肋、少腹疼痛,疝气,以及胎前产后,血气作痛,以及血崩月经淋漓不尽,其他药物无效者,都能奏效。屡用屡验,真是近世的神方。另外案语:李仲南说:五灵脂治疗崩中,不只是治血的药,而是去风的剂。风,是动物性的,冲任经脉虚弱,被风邪侵袭营血,导致崩中暴下,与荆芥、防风治疗崩中的道理相同。这才领悟到古人的见识如此深奥。这也是一说,但未涉及肝血虚滞也会自生风的含义。

[Processing] Song said: This substance often contains sand and stones, making it extremely difficult to process. Whenever used, it should be ground into a fine powder, washed with wine to remove the sand and stones, dried in the sun, and stored for use.
[Flavor and Toxicity] Sweet, warm, non-toxic. Incompatible with Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), damages the body's healthy qi.
[Indications] Cold qi in the heart and abdomen, five types of pediatric malnutrition (Wu Gang) in children, warding off epidemics, treating intestinal wind (hematochezia), promoting the free flow of qi and blood vessels, treating amenorrhea in women (Kai Bao Ben Cao). Treating cold-induced accumulation (Su Song). For those with excessive uterine bleeding, half-roasted and half-raw material ground into powder, taken with wine, can promote blood circulation and stop bleeding. Treats stabbing pain due to blood and qi stagnation, various abdominal pains, hernia pain, bloody dysentery, intestinal wind abdominal pain, stabbing pain due to blood bi syndrome in the body, chills and fever during liver malaria attacks, regurgitation and thirst, phlegm-fluid mixed with blood forming nests, blood filling the pupil, toothache caused by blood stasis, double tongue (swelling of the sublingual area), pediatric convulsions, five types of epilepsy, killing parasites, detoxifying medicines, and injuries from snakes, scorpions, and centipedes (Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Zong said: Wulingzhi has merit in guiding drugs to specific meridians but cannot generate blood; this substance enters the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin most rapidly. Once, someone suffered from eye nebulae that moved around unpredictably; this is a disorder of the blood. The Liver receives blood to enable vision; treating eye diseases without addressing the blood contradicts medical principles. Using medicine containing Wulingzhi cured him. Another person was bitten by a venomous snake and became unconscious after a long time. An old monk administered two qian of medicine mixed with wine, and the patient regained consciousness. The dregs were still applied to the bite site, and another two qian were administered shortly after, eliminating all suffering. Upon inquiry, it was revealed to be one liang of Wulingzhi and half a liang of Realgar (Xionghuang), ground together into powder. Later, those bitten by snakes found it effective. Shizhen said: Wulingzhi is a drug for the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin. Its flavor and aroma are dense, belonging to yin within yin, thus entering the blood level. The Liver governs blood; all pains are related to Wood (Liver); all parasites arise from Wind. Therefore, this drug can treat blood disorders, dissipate and harmonize blood to stop various pains. It treats convulsions and epilepsy, eliminates malaria and dysentery, resolves accumulations and transforms phlegm, treats malnutrition and kills parasites, and treats blood bi and blood-eye disorders, all belonging to the Liver Meridian. Shixiao San (Disappointment Powder) not only treats heart pain and blood pain in women; for men, women, the elderly, and children, it addresses all heart, abdomen, hypochondriac, and lower abdominal pains, hernias, as well as pain due to blood and qi before and after childbirth, and metrorrhagia or prolonged menstruation unresponsive to other drugs. It has proven effective repeatedly, truly a miraculous formula of recent times. Furthermore, Li Zhongnan stated: Wulingzhi treats metrorrhagia; it is not merely a blood-regulating drug but a wind-dispelling agent. Wind is dynamic; when the Chong and Ren meridians are deficient, they are attacked by wind pathogen injuring Ying blood, leading to sudden heavy bleeding, similar to the principle of using Schizonepetae Herba (Jingjie) and Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng) to treat metrorrhagia. Only then did I realize the profound insight of the ancients. This is another perspective, though it does not address the idea that deficiency and stagnation of Liver blood can generate internal wind.
[Attached Formulas] Six old formulas, thirty-one new formulas.
Shixiao San (Disappointment Powder): Treats heart pain, abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, and small intestine hernia in men, women, the elderly, and children, unresponsive to other drugs; promotes blood circulation and stops bleeding. For pregnant women, boil into a paste, add one cup of water, decoct to seven-tenths, and take hot with the dregs. If bleeding continues, take again. One formula uses wine instead of vinegar. Another formula mixes with vinegar paste into pills, taken with child's urine and wine. (Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang)
Zijin Wan (Purple Gold Pill): Treats sluggish lochia postpartum, lower back pain, stabbing sensation in the lower abdomen, alternating chills and fever, headache, and loss of appetite; also treats chronic blood stasis, irregular menstruation, sallow complexion, emaciation, and anorexia; also treats heart pain, with effects similar to Shixiao San. Take one liang of Wulingzhi, wash clean, roast, and grind into powder. Mix with good rice vinegar to a thin consistency, slow-fire boil into a paste, mix with true Puhuang (Pollen Typhae), and form pills the size of dragon eyes. Take one pill each time, decoct with half a cup of water and half a cup of child's urine to seven-tenths, take warm, and take again shortly after; lochia will discharge. For blood clots causing amenorrhea, dissolve in wine and take. (Yang Shi Chan Ru)
Wulingzhi San (Five Spirits Fat Powder): Treats spleen accumulation qi pain in men and various pains from metrorrhagia in women. Pass Wulingzhi through water, roast until smoke ceases, and grind into powder. Take one qian each time, mixed with warm wine. This drug has an unpleasant odor and taste; burning to retain its nature is better. Alternatively, decoct with wine, water, or child's urine, named Choudao San, treating postpartum heart, abdomen, hypochondriac, waist, and hip pain. It disperses evil blood. If there is mental restlessness and thirst, add roasted Puhuang in half dosage, taken with Pili Jiu (Thunderbolt Wine). For intestinal wind with hematochezia, decoct with... (Text incomplete here)

Unceasing Menstrual Bleeding: Roast Wulingzhi until smoke ceases, grind. Take two qian each time, with two slices of Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), decoct in one cup of wine to six-tenths, take hot, effective after three to five doses. (Jing Xiao Fang)

Purify Wulingzhi, grind into powder, mix with dog bile, form pills the size of euryale seeds. Take one pill each time, dissolve in decocted ginger wine, swallow hot forcefully, do not rinse mouth, quickly take a little warm porridge... (Text incomplete here)

(Hai Shang Xian Fang)

Take three qian each time with winter melon peel decoction (leaves can be used if no peel), twice daily.
