胱宿脓恶水，腰膝冷疼，疗折伤。久服无有温疫疟（《开宝》）。推新旧积滞，消
胸中痰唾，散皮肤大肠风邪（李杲）。
【发明】颂曰∶唐贞元中，嵩阳子周君巢作《威灵仙传》云∶威灵仙去众风，通十二经
脉，朝服暮效。疏宣五脏冷脓宿水变病，微利，不泻人。服此四肢轻健，手足微暖，并得清
凉。先时，商州有人病手足不遂，不履地者数十年。良医殚技莫能疗。所亲置之道旁，以求
救者。遇一新罗僧见之，告曰∶此疾一药可活，但不知此土有否？因为之入山求索，果得，
乃威灵仙也。使服之，数日能步履。其后山人邓思齐知之，遂传其事。此药治丈夫、妇人中
风不语，手足不遂，口眼 斜，言语蹇滞，筋骨节风，绕脐风，胎风头风，暗
大风，皮肤风痒，白癜风，热毒风疮，头旋目眩，手足顽痹，腰膝疼痛，久立不得，曾经损

可加及六钱。利过两行则减之，病除乃停服。其性甚善，不触诸药，但恶茶及面汤，以甘草、
栀子代饮可也。又以一味洗焙为末，以好酒和令微湿，入在竹筒内紧塞，九蒸九曝。如干，
添酒洒之。以白蜜和丸梧子大。每服二十至三十丸，温酒下。崔元亮《海上集验方》着其详
如此。
恭曰∶腰肾脚膝积聚，肠内诸冷病，积年不瘥者，服之无不立效。
宗 曰∶其性快，多服疏人五脏真气。
震亨曰∶威灵仙属木，治痛风之要药也，在上下者皆宜，服之尤效。其性好走，亦可横
行，故崔元亮言其去众风，通十二经脉，朝服暮效。凡采得闻流水声者，知其性好走也，须
不闻水声者乃佳。
时珍曰∶威灵仙气温，味微辛、咸。辛泄气，咸泄水。故风湿痰饮之病，气壮者服之有
捷效。其性大抵疏利，久服恐损真气，气弱者亦不可服之。

陈藏器说：味苦。主治金疮，生肉止血，补腰膝，接续筋骨。产于突厥。颜色白如灰，说是锻石与其他药物混合制成的。

（宋代《开宝本草》）
【释名】李时珍说：威，指其药性猛烈。灵仙，指其功效神奇。
【集解】苏颂说：产于商州上洛山及华山和平泽，以采挖时听不到水声者为佳。在众草之前生长，茎方形，叶片相对而生。冬季丙、丁、戊、己日采挖根部使用。
保升说：九月末至十二月，采挖根部阴干。其他月份都不宜采挖。
苏颂说：现在陕西及河东、河北、汴东、江湖各州郡都有出产。初生时为蔓生，茎像发钗股，有四棱。叶子像柳叶，分层排列，每层六、七片叶，像车轮，有的有六层至七层。七月内生花，六瓣，浅紫色或碧白色。花穗像蒲台子，也有像菊花头的。果实青色。根部稠密多须，像谷物的根，每年朽败，九月采挖根部。
李时珍说：其根部每年旁侧延伸，年代越久长得越茂盛。一根根丛生出数百条须根，长的约二尺。起初是黄黑色，干燥后变成深黑色，俗称“铁脚威灵仙”即因此而来。另有几种，根须一样，但颜色或黄或白，都不可用。
【气味】味苦，性温，无毒。
王好古说：味甘，纯阳之性，入太阳经。
李杲说：可升可降，属于阴中之阳。
李时珍说：味微辛、咸，不苦。忌饮茶和面汤。
【主治】各种风邪，宣通五脏，去除腹内冷滞，心膈间的痰和水，久积的症瘕、膀胱宿脓和恶水，腰膝冷痛，治疗折伤。长期服用可预防温疫疟疾（《开宝本草》）。推荡新旧积滞，消除胸中痰唾，疏散皮肤和大肠的风邪（李杲）。
【发明】苏颂说：唐贞元年间，嵩阳子周君巢撰写《威灵仙传》说：威灵仙能祛除各种风邪，通利十二经脉，早晨服用晚上见效。疏宣五脏冷脓宿水引起的病变，轻微通便，不致泻人。服用此药四肢轻健，手足微暖，并感到清凉。此前，商州有人患手足不遂，几十年不能下地行走。良医想尽办法也无法治疗。他的亲人将其放在路边，寻求救治者。遇到一位新罗僧人看见他，告诉说：这种病一种药即可治愈，只是不知道此地是否有？于是为他进山寻找，果然得到，就是威灵仙。让他服用，几天后就能行走。后来山人邓思齐知道了这件事，于是传播此事。此药治疗男子、妇人中风不语，手足不遂，口眼歪斜，言语蹇涩，筋骨节风，绕脐风，胎风头风，暗风，大风，皮肤风痒，白癜风，热毒风疮，头晕目眩，手足顽痹，腰膝疼痛，久立不得，曾经跌打损伤，腰痛，肾脏风壅，伤寒瘴气，憎寒壮热，头痛流涕，黄疸黑疸，头面浮肿，腹内宿滞，心头痰水，膀胱宿脓，口中涎水，冷热之气壅滞，肚腹胀满，喜欢喝茶渣，心痛，注气膈气，冷气攻冲，脾肺诸气，痰热咳嗽气急，坐卧不安，气冲眼赤，攻耳成脓，阴汗盗汗，大小肠便秘，服用此药立即通畅，气痢痔疾，瘰疬疥癣，妇人月经不来，动经多日，气血冲心，产后便秘涩滞，孩子无辜病，都能治疗。其方法：采得根部，阴干月余，捣成粉末。温酒调服一钱匕，空腹服用。如果病人本性耐受药力，可加至六钱。腹泻超过两次则减量，病除后停止服用。其性甚善，不触犯其他药物，只厌恶茶及面汤，可以用甘草、栀子代替茶水饮用。又用一味药洗净焙干为末，用好酒调和使其微湿，放入竹筒内紧塞，九蒸九晒。如果干了，添酒洒润。用白蜜和丸如梧子大。每次服二十至三十丸，温酒送下。崔元亮《海上集验方》详细记载了这些方法。
孟诜说：腰肾脚膝积聚，肠内各种冷病，多年不愈的，服用无不立即见效。
寇宗奭说：其性迅捷，多服会疏泄人的五脏真气。
朱震亨说：威灵仙属木，是治疗痛风的重要药物，无论病位在上在下都适宜，服用尤其有效。其性好走，也可横行，所以崔元亮说它去众风，通十二经脉，朝服暮效。凡是采挖时听到流水声的，知道其性好走，必须是不闻水声的才佳。
李时珍说：威灵仙气温，味微辛、咸。辛能泄气，咸能泄水。所以风湿痰饮之病，体质强壮的人服用有迅速疗效。其性大致疏利，长期服用恐怕损伤真气，气弱的人也不可以服用。

(From *Bencao Shiyi* / Supplement to Materia Medica)
Chen Cangqi stated: It treats metal weapon wounds (trauma caused by sharp metal objects), promotes tissue regeneration, stops bleeding, and should be ground into a fine powder for external application. It originates from Huizhou; its leaves resemble those of *Ampelopsis japonica* (Bailian).
(From *Bencao Shiyi* / Supplement to Materia Medica)
Chen Cangqi stated: Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It treats heat toxins, as well as toxins from snake, dog, insect bites, and carbuncles/sores. It originates from Enzhou in Lingnan. The roots are harvested and dried in the shade.
Its efficacy is similar to Chen Family Baiyao, but the vines differ.
Li Dangzhi stated: The vines resemble those of *Solomon's seal* (Tugua), and the roots are also similar. Pungent in taste, warm in nature. It treats various toxic vapors and snakebites. The root is ground with water and taken orally; all toxins will be vomited out.
Chen Cangqi stated: Bitter in taste. It treats metal weapon wounds, promotes tissue regeneration, stops bleeding, tonifies the waist and knees, and reconnects tendons. It originates from Turfan. It is white like ash, said to be made by mixing Duan Shi (calcined gypsum or similar mineral) with other herbs.
Su Song stated: The currently used Lingxianxian originates from Luzhou. Its roots are yellowish-white, resembling *Poria cocos* (Fuling) but softer and less dense. The shoots grow three to four chi high; in spring and summer, the leaves resemble mint; the flowers resemble *Ipomoea nil* (Qianniuhua) and are purple, with white ridges. Roots are harvested in February and August and sun-dried.
(Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Names] Li Shizhen stated: "Wei" implies its fierce nature. "Lingxian" implies its miraculous efficacy.
[Collected Explanations] Su Song stated: It originates from Shangluo Mountain in Shangzhou, Hua Mountain, and Pingze. Those harvested where no sound of flowing water is heard are superior. It grows before other grasses, has square stems, and opposite leaves. Roots are harvested on Bing, Ding, Wu, and Ji days in winter.
Bao Sheng stated: Roots are harvested from late September to December and dried in the shade. Harvesting in other months is unsuitable.
Su Song stated: It is now found in Shaanxi, Hedong, Hebei, Bian East, and various prefectures in Jianghu. Initially growing as a vine, the stem resembles a hairpin shaft and has four edges. The leaves resemble willow leaves, arranged in layers of six or seven leaves each, like a wheel, with up to seven layers. In July, it produces six-petaled flowers, pale purple or greenish-white. The flower spikes resemble *Thesium chinense* (Putai) or chrysanthemum heads. The fruits are green. The roots are dense with many fibrous roots, resembling grain roots, rotting annually; roots are harvested in September.
Li Shizhen stated: The roots extend laterally each year, becoming denser with age. One root cluster produces hundreds of fibrous roots, some reaching two chi in length. Initially yellow-black, turning deep black when dry, commonly known as "Iron-foot Lingxianxian." There are other varieties with similar roots but different colors (yellow or white), which are unusable.
[Aroma and Flavor] Bitter, warm, non-toxic.
Wang Haogu stated: Sweet, purely Yang in nature, enters the Taiyang Meridian.
Li Gao stated: Can ascend and descend, belonging to Yang within Yin.
Li Shizhen stated: Slightly pungent and salty, not bitter. Contraindicated with tea and noodle soup.
[Indications] Treats various wind pathogens, unblocks the five Zang organs, removes cold stagnation in the abdomen, phlegm and fluid retention in the heart and diaphragm, long-standing accumulations (Zhengjia), pus and foul fluids in the bladder, cold pain in the waist and knees, and fractures. Long-term use prevents epidemic fevers and malaria (*Kaibao Bencao*). It expels old and new stagnations, eliminates phlegm and saliva in the chest, and disperses wind pathogens in the skin and large intestine (Li Gao).
[Innovations] Su Song stated: During the Zhenyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Junchao of Songyangzi wrote *The Biography of Lingxianxian*, stating: Lingxianxian dispels various wind pathogens, unblocks the twelve meridians, and takes effect from morning to evening. It vents cold pus and stagnant water causing diseases in the five Zang organs, causes mild bowel movements without diarrhea. After taking this herb, limbs feel light, hands and feet become slightly warm, and one feels cool. Previously, a person in Shangzhou suffered from inability to move limbs for decades, unable to walk. Physicians exhausted their skills without success. His relatives placed him by the road seeking help. A Silla monk saw him and said: This disease can be cured with one herb, provided it exists here. He was sent to search the mountains and indeed found Lingxianxian. Upon administration, he could walk after several days. Later, Deng Siqi, a mountain dweller, learned of this and spread the story. This herb treats wind-stroke with aphasia, limb paralysis, facial deviation, speech impediments, joint wind, periumbilical wind, fetal head wind, latent wind, severe wind, skin itching due to wind, vitiligo, heat-toxin wind sores, dizziness, limb numbness, waist and knee pain, inability to stand for long periods, trauma injuries, lower back pain, kidney wind obstruction, cold damage and miasma, aversion to cold with high fever, headache with runny nose, jaundice and black jaundice, facial edema, abdominal stagnation, heart phlegm-fluid, bladder pus, oral salivation, qi obstruction due to cold and heat, abdominal distension, craving for tea dregs, heart pain, Qi stagnation in the diaphragm, attacking cold Qi, Qi disorders of the spleen and lungs, cough and shortness of breath due to phlegm-heat, restlessness, red eyes due to Qi rising, ear suppuration, yin sweating and night sweats, constipation of large and small intestines, immediate relief upon intake, Qi dysentery, hemorrhoids, scrofula, tinea, amenorrhea in women, prolonged menstruation, Qi and Blood rushing to the heart, postpartum constipation, and infant idiopathic disease. Method: Harvest roots, dry in shade for over a month, grind to powder. Mix one Qianbi with warm wine and take on an empty stomach. If the patient tolerates strong medicine, increase to six Qianbi. Reduce dosage if diarrhea exceeds twice; stop when cured. Its nature is gentle and does not conflict with other herbs, but dislikes tea and noodle soup; Licorice and Gardenia can replace tea. Alternatively, wash and dry the single herb, grind to powder, moisten with good wine, place in a bamboo tube, seal tightly, steam nine times and sun-dry nine times. Add wine if dry. Mix with white honey to make pills the size of walnut seeds. Take 20-30 pills with warm wine. Cui Yuanliang's *Hai Shang Ji Yan Fang* details this method.
Meng Shen stated: For accumulations in the waist, kidneys, feet, and knees, and various cold diseases in the intestines that have persisted for years, it acts immediately.
Kou Zongshi stated: Its nature is swift; excessive use disperses the true Qi of the five Zang organs.
Zhu Zhenheng stated: Lingxianxian belongs to Wood and is a key herb for treating gout. It is suitable for conditions above and below, showing particular efficacy. Its nature moves rapidly and horizontally, hence Cui Yuanliang said it dispels wind and unblocks the twelve meridians, acting from morning to evening. Those harvested while hearing flowing water indicate a moving nature; those harvested without hearing water are better.
Li Shizhen stated: Lingxianxian is warm in nature, slightly pungent and salty. Pungency disperses Qi, saltiness drains Water. Thus, for diseases of wind-dampness, phlegm, and fluid retention, it has rapid effects in robust individuals. Its nature is generally draining and promoting; long-term use may damage true Qi, so it is unsuitable for those with weak Qi.
[Attached Prescriptions] Four old prescriptions, fifteen new ones. Hongjiao entering the abdomen, causing distension, fullness, and急促 breathing: Use Lingxianxian powder, 2 Qian per dose, taken with wine. Reduce dosage proportionally as pain decreases.
