（《纲目》）
【释名】木鳖子（《炮炙论》）、虎掌（《日华
时珍曰∶此乃附子之琐细未成者，小而漏篮，故名。南星之最小者，名虎掌，此物类之，
故亦同名。《大明会典》载∶四川成都府，岁贡天雄二十对，附子五十对，乌头五十对，漏
篮二十斤。不知何用。
【气味】苦、辛，有毒。
曰∶服之令人丧目。
【主治】恶痢冷漏疮，恶疮疠风（时珍）。
【发明】时珍曰∶按∶杨士瀛《直指方》云∶凡漏疮年久者，复其元阳，当用漏篮子辈，
加减用之。如不当用而轻用之，又恐热气乘虚变移结核，而为害尤甚也。又按《类编》云∶
一人两足生疮，臭溃难近。夜宿五夫人祠下，梦神授方∶用漏篮子一枚，生研为末，入腻粉
少许，井水调涂。依法治之，果愈。盖此物不堪服饵，止宜入疮科也。
【附方】新一。
一切恶痢杂下，及休息痢∶百岁丸∶用漏篮子一个（大者），阿胶、木香、黄连、罂粟
壳各半两，俱炒焦存性，入乳香少许为末，糊丸梧子大。每一岁一丸，米饮下。（罗天益《卫
生宝鉴》）
（《本经》下品）
【校正】并入《拾遗》独白草。
【释名】乌喙（《本经》，即两头尖）、草乌头（《纲目》）、土附子（《日华》）、奚毒（《本
经》）、耿子（《吴普》）。毒公（《吴普》。又
芨（音及）、堇（音近）、独白草（《拾
普曰∶乌头，形如乌之头也。有两歧相合如乌之喙者，名曰乌喙。喙即乌之口也。
恭曰∶乌喙，即乌头异名也。此有三歧者，然两歧者少。若乌头两歧名乌喙，则天雄、
附子之两歧者，复何以名之？
时珍曰∶此即乌头之野生于他处者，俗谓之草乌头，亦曰竹节乌头，出江北者曰淮乌头，
《日华子》所谓土附子者是也。乌喙，即偶生两歧者，今俗呼为两头尖，因形而名，其实乃
一物也。附子、天雄之偶生两歧者，亦谓之乌喙，功亦同于天雄，非此乌头也。苏恭不知此
义，故反疑之。草乌头取汁，晒为毒药，射禽兽，故有射罔之称。《后魏书》言∶辽东塞外
秋收乌头为毒药射禽兽，陈藏器所引《续汉五行志》，言西国生独白草，煎为药，敷箭射人
即死者，皆此乌头，非川乌头也。
《菊谱》云∶鸳鸯菊，即乌喙苗也。
【集解】《别录》曰∶乌头、乌喙生朗陵山谷。正月、二月采，阴干。长三寸以上者为
天雄。
普曰∶正月始生，叶浓，茎方中空，叶四四相当，与蒿相似。
弘景曰∶今采用四月，亦以八月采。捣笮茎汁，日煎为射罔。猎人以敷箭，射禽兽十步
即倒，中人亦死，宜速解之。朗陵属汝南郡。
大明曰∶土附子（生），去皮，捣，滤汁澄清，旋添晒干取膏，名为射罔，以作毒箭。
时珍曰∶处处有之，根、苗、花、实并与川乌头相同，但此系野生，又无酿造之法，其
根外黑内白，皱而枯燥为异尔，然毒则甚焉。段成式《酉阳杂俎》言∶雀芋状如雀头，置干
地反湿，湿地反干，飞鸟触之堕，走兽遇之僵。似亦草乌之类，而毒更甚也。又言∶建宁郡
乌勾山有牧靡草，鸟鹊误食乌喙中毒，必急食此草以解之。牧靡不知何药也？
【修治】时珍曰∶草乌头或生用，或炮用，或以乌大豆同煮熟，去其毒用。
乌头
【气味】辛，温，有大毒。《别录》曰∶甘，大热，大毒。
普曰∶神农、雷公、桐君、黄帝∶甘，有毒。权曰∶苦、辛，大热，有大毒。
大明曰∶味 、辛，热，有毒。
之才曰∶莽草、远志为之使。反半夏、栝蒌、贝母、白蔹、白芨。恶藜芦。
时珍曰∶伏丹砂、砒石。忌豉汁。畏饴糖、黑豆、冷水，能解其毒。
【主治】中风恶风，洗洗出汗，除寒湿痹，咳逆上气，破积聚寒热，其汁煎之名射罔，
杀禽兽（《本经》）。消胸上痰冷，食不下，心腹冷疾，脐间痛，肩胛痛，不可俯仰，目中痛，
不可久视。又堕胎（《别录》）。
主恶风憎寒，冷痰包心，肠腹 痛， 癖气块，齿痛，益阳事，强志（甄权）。治头风
喉痹，痈肿疔毒（时珍）。
乌喙（一名两头尖）
【气味】辛，微温，有大毒。
普曰∶神农、雷公、桐君、黄帝∶有毒。
权曰∶苦、辛，大热。畏恶同乌头。
【主治】风湿，丈夫肾湿阴囊痒，寒热历节，掣引腰痛，不能行步，痈肿脓结。又堕胎
（《别录》）。男子肾气衰弱，阴汗，瘰 岁月不消（甄权）。
射罔
【气味】苦，有大毒。之才曰∶温。
大明曰∶人中射罔毒，以甘草、蓝汁、小豆叶、浮萍，冷水、荠 ，皆可一味御之。
【主治】尸疰症坚，及头中风痹痛（《别录》）。 疮疮根，结核瘰 、毒肿及蛇咬。先
取涂肉四畔，渐渐近疮，习习逐病至骨。疮有热脓及黄水，涂之；若无脓水，有生血，及新
伤破，即不可涂，立杀人（藏器）。
【发明】时珍曰∶草乌头、射罔，乃至毒之药。非若川乌头、附子，人所栽种，加以酿
制，杀其毒性之比。自非风顽急疾，不可轻投。甄权《药性论》言其益阳事，治男子肾气衰
弱者，未可遽然也。此类止能搜风胜湿，开顽痰，治顽疮，以毒攻毒而已，岂有川乌头、附
子补右肾命门之功哉？吾蕲郝知府自负知医，因病风癣，服草乌头、木鳖子药过多，甫入腹
而麻痹，遂至不救，可不慎乎？
机曰∶乌喙形如乌嘴，其气锋锐。宜其通经络，利关节，寻蹊达径，而直抵病所。煎为
射罔，能杀禽兽。非气之锋锐捷利，能如是乎？
杨清叟曰∶凡风寒湿痹，骨内冷痛，及损伤入骨，年久发痛，或一切阴疽肿毒。并宜草
乌头、南星等分，少加肉桂为末，姜汁热酒调涂。未破者能内消，久溃者能去黑烂。二药性
味辛烈，能破恶块，逐寒热，遇冷即消，遇热即溃。

（《本草纲目》）
【释名】木鳖子（出自《雷公炮炙论》）、虎掌（出自《日华子本草》）。
李时珍说：这是附子中细小未成熟的果实，因为体积小且呈漏斗状（漏篮），所以得名。南星中最小的品种叫虎掌，这种药与它相似，所以也共用这个名字。《大明会典》记载：四川成都府每年进贡天雄二十对，附子五十对，乌头五十对，漏篮子二十斤。不知道是用来做什么的。
【气味】味苦、辛，有毒。
某人说：服用后会使人失明。
【发明】李时珍说：据杨士瀛《直指方》记载：凡是年久不愈的漏疮，若要恢复其元阳之气，应当使用漏篮子这类药物，进行加减配伍使用。如果不适合使用却轻率地使用，恐怕热气乘虚而入导致病情变化形成结核，危害更加严重。又据《类编》记载：有一人双足生疮，臭烂难以靠近。夜间住宿在五夫人祠下，梦见神灵传授药方：用一枚漏篮子，生研成粉末，加入少许腻粉，用井水调和涂抹。按照这个方法治疗，果然痊愈。大概这种药物不适合内服，只适宜用于外科疮疡科。
【附方】新增一方。
各种恶痢杂下，以及休息痢（慢性痢疾）：百岁丸：用漏篮子一个（大的），阿胶、木香、黄连、罂粟壳各半两，全部炒焦保留药性，加入少许乳香研成粉末，用糊剂制成梧桐子大小的丸药。每岁数服用一丸，米汤送下。（罗天益《卫生宝鉴》）
【校正】并入《拾遗》中的独白草。
【释名】乌喙（出自《本经》，即两头尖）、草乌头（出自《纲目》）、土附子（出自《日华子本草》）、奚毒（出自《本经》）、耿子（出自《吴普本草》）。毒公（出自《吴普本草》。又有芨（音及）、堇（音近）、独白草（出自《拾遗》）。
吴普说：乌头，形状像乌鸦的头。有两个分叉合拢像乌鸦嘴的，名叫乌喙。喙就是乌鸦的嘴。
苏恭说：乌喙，是乌头的别名。这种有三个分叉的，但两个分叉的很少。如果乌头两个分叉的叫乌喙，那么天雄、附子中两个分叉的，又怎么命名呢？
李时珍说：这就是野生在别处的乌头，俗称草乌头，也叫竹节乌头，出江北的叫淮乌头，《日华子》所说的土附子就是这种。乌喙，就是偶发生长两个分叉的，现在俗称为两头尖，因形状而得名，其实是一种东西。附子、天雄中偶发生长两个分叉的，也称为乌喙，功效也与天雄相同，不是这种草乌头。苏恭不懂这个意思，反而产生怀疑。草乌头取汁液，晒干成为毒药，用来射禽兽，所以有射罔的称号。《后魏书》说：辽东塞外秋天收获乌头作为毒药射杀禽兽，陈藏器引用的《续汉五行志》说：西国生长独白草，煎煮成药，涂在箭上射人即死，这些都是这种乌头，不是川乌头。
《菊谱》说：鸳鸯菊，就是乌喙的幼苗。
【集解】《名医别录》说：乌头、乌喙生长在朗陵山谷。正月、二月采收，阴干。长度在三寸以上的为天雄。
吴普说：正月开始生长，叶子浓密，茎方形中空，叶子四四相对，与蒿草相似。
陶弘景说：现在采用四月采收，也在八月采收。捣碎压榨茎汁，日晒煎煮成为射罔。猎人将其涂在箭上，射禽兽十步之内就倒下，中人也会死亡，应该迅速解毒。朗陵属于汝南郡。
孟洗说：土附子（生的），去掉皮，捣碎，过滤汁液澄清，随时添加并晒干取得膏状物，名为射罔，用来制作毒箭。
李时珍说：到处都有，根、苗、花、实都与川乌头相同，只是这种是野生的，又没有酿造加工的方法，其根外部黑内部白，皱缩而枯燥为异罢了，然而毒性更甚。段成式《酉阳杂俎》说：雀芋形状像雀头，放在干燥的地方反而变湿，潮湿的地方反而变干，飞鸟碰到它会坠落，走兽遇到它会僵死。似乎也是草乌之类，而毒性更厉害。又说：建宁郡乌勾山有牧靡草，鸟鹊误食乌喙中毒，必须急忙吃这种草来解毒。牧靡是什么药呢？
【修治】李时珍说：草乌头或者生用，或者炮制使用，或者与乌大豆一起煮熟，去除其毒性后使用。
【气味】味辛，温，有大毒。《名医别录》说：味甘，大热，大毒。
吴普说：神农、雷公、桐君、黄帝认为：味甘，有毒。
李权说：味苦、辛，大热，有大毒。
孟洗说：味咸、辛，热，有毒。
徐之才说：莽草、远志是它的引经药。反半夏、栝蒌、贝母、白蔹、白芨。畏藜芦。
李时珍说：能制约丹砂、砒石。忌食豆豉汁。畏惧饴糖、黑豆、冷水，能解除其毒性。
【主治】中风恶风，瑟瑟出汗，除去寒湿痹痛，咳逆上气，破除积聚寒热，其汁液煎煮后名为射罔，能杀死禽兽（《本经》）。消除胸上痰冷，饮食不下，心腹冷疾，脐间痛，肩胛痛，不能俯仰，眼中痛，不能久视。又能堕胎（《别录》）。
主治恶风憎寒，冷痰包心，肠腹痛，癖气块，齿痛，增强性功能，坚定意志（甄权）。治疗头风喉痹，痈肿疔毒（李时珍）。
乌喙（一名两头尖）
【气味】味辛，微温，有大毒。
吴普说：神农、雷公、桐君、黄帝认为：有毒。
李权说：味苦、辛，大热。畏惧禁忌同乌头。
【主治】风湿，男子肾湿阴囊痒，寒热历节痛，牵引腰痛，不能行走，痈肿脓结。又能堕胎（《别录》）。男子肾气衰弱，阴汗，瘰疬多年不消（甄权）。
【气味】味苦，有大毒。徐之才说：温。
孟洗说：人中射罔毒，用甘草、蓝汁、小豆叶、浮萍，冷水、荠菜，都可以单味药来抵御它。
【主治】尸疰症坚，以及头部中风痹痛（《别录》）。治疗疮根，结核瘰疬，毒肿及蛇咬伤。先取药涂在肉的四周边缘，渐渐靠近疮口，感觉微微发热，将病邪驱逐至骨。疮有热脓及黄水，可以涂抹；若无脓水，有生血，及新伤破损，就不可涂抹，立即杀人（陈藏器）。
【发明】李时珍说：草乌头、射罔，都是极毒的药物。不像川乌头、附子，是人们种植的，加以酿造加工，以杀灭其毒性。如果不是风顽急疾，不可轻易投用。甄权《药性论》说它能增强性功能，治疗男子肾气衰弱者，不可贸然相信。这类药物只能搜风胜湿，开顽痰，治顽疮，以毒攻毒而已，哪里有川乌头、附子补右肾命门的功效呢？我蕲州的郝知府自负懂医，因病患风癣，服用草乌头、木鳖子药过多，刚入腹就麻痹，于是致死，能不谨慎吗？
王机说：乌喙形状像乌鸦嘴，其气锋锐。难怪能通经络，利关节，寻蹊达径，直抵病所。煎煮为射罔，能杀死禽兽。如果不是气的锋锐捷利，能这样吗？
杨清叟说：凡风寒湿痹，骨内冷痛，及损伤入骨，年久发痛，或一切阴疽肿毒。都适宜用草乌头、南星等分，少加肉桂研末，姜汁热酒调涂。未破溃的能内消，久溃烂的能去黑烂。二药性味辛烈，能破恶块，逐寒热，遇冷即消散，遇热即溃破。

(Compendium of Materia Medica)
[Names] Mumiezi (Bitter Gourd Seed, from *Paizhi Lun*), Huzhang (Tiger Palm, from *Rihua Bencao*).
Li Shizhen stated: This is the small, immature fruit of Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata). Because it is small and funnel-shaped (loulan), it is named thus. The smallest variety of Xingxing (Arisaema Rhizoma) is called Huzhang. This herb resembles it, hence the shared name. The *Daming Huidian* records that Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan annually paid tribute of twenty pairs of Tianxiong (Aconiti Radix), fifty pairs of Fuzi, fifty pairs of Wutou (Aconiti Radix), and twenty jin of Loulanzi. It is unknown what they were used for.
[Properties and Flavor] Bitter, acrid, toxic.
Someone said: Ingestion causes blindness.
[Indications] Malignant dysentery, cold-type fistulous sores, malignant ulcers, leprosy (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen stated: According to Yang Shiying's *Zhizhi Fang*: For chronic fistulous sores lasting many years, if one wishes to restore the primordial yang qi, herbs like Loulanzi should be used with modifications. If inappropriate use occurs lightly, there is a fear that heat qi will exploit the deficiency, causing changes into tubercles, resulting in even greater harm. Furthermore, according to *Leibian*: A person had sores on both feet that were foul and ulcerated, difficult to approach. He stayed overnight under the shrine of the Five Ladies and dreamed that a deity taught him a prescription: Use one Loulanzi, grind it raw into powder, add a small amount of Nifen (Calomel), and mix with well water for topical application. Following this method, he was indeed cured. Generally, this herb is unsuitable for internal administration and is only appropriate for dermatological and surgical conditions.
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
For all types of malignant dysentery and intermittent dysentery: Baishui Wan (Hundred-Year Pill): Use one large Loulanzi, half a liang each of Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Ying Susuo (Papaveris Pericarpium). Stir-fry all until charred but retaining medicinal properties. Add a small amount of Ruxiang (Boswelliae Resina), grind into powder, and make pills with paste the size of Sophora seeds. Take one pill per year of age, swallowed with rice drink. (Luo Tianyi, *Weisheng Baojian*)
(Natural Classic of Materia Medica, Lower Grade)
[Correction] Merged with Dubaicao (Herba Siegesbeckiae) from *Shiyi*.
[Names] Wuwei (Aconiti Radix Cum Radicula, from *Benjing*, i.e., Liangtoujian/Caulis Polygoni Cuspidati), Caowutou (Grass Aconite, from *Gangmu*), TuFuzi (Earth Fuzi, from *Rihua*), Xidu (from *Benjing*), Gengzi (from *Wu Pu*), Du Gong (from *Wu Pu*). Also Ji (pronounced ji), Jin (pronounced jin), Dubaicao (from *Shiyi*).
Wu Pu said: Wutou resembles the head of a crow. Those with two lobes joining like a crow's beak are named Wuwei. Wei means the beak of a crow.
Su Gong said: Wuwei is an alias for Wutou. There are varieties with three lobes, but those with two lobes are rare. If Wutou with two lobes is called Wuwei, then how are Tianxiong and Fuzi with two lobes named?
Li Shizhen said: This is wild Wutou growing elsewhere, commonly known as Caowutou (Grass Aconite), also called Zhujie Wutou (Bamboo-joint Aconite). Those from north of the river are called Hua Wutou. What *Rihua Zi* calls Tufuzi is this type. Wuwei refers to those occurring naturally with two lobes, now commonly called Liangtoujian (Two-headed Point), named after its shape, but essentially the same substance. Fuzi and Tianxiong with two natural lobes are also called Wuwei; their efficacy is similar to Tianxiong, not this Caowutou. Su Gong did not understand this meaning and thus doubted it. Caowutou juice is dried into poison for shooting animals, hence the name She Wang (Arrow Poison). The *Book of Later Wei* states: Outside the Liaodong pass, people harvest Wutou in autumn as poison to shoot animals. Chen Cangqi cited the *Continued Han Annals of Five Elements*, stating that the Western Regions produce Dubaicao, which is boiled into medicine, applied to arrows, and kills humans upon being shot. These are all this type of Wutou, not Chuan Wutou (Sichuan Aconite).
The *Ju Pu* (Record of Chrysanthemums) says: Yuanyang Ju (Mandarin Duck Chrysanthemum) is the seedling of Wuwei.
[Collection and Explanation] *Bielu* says: Wutou and Wuwei grow in the valleys of Langling. Harvested in the first and second lunar months, dried in the shade. Those longer than three cun are Tianxiong.
Wu Pu said: They begin growing in the first month, leaves are dense, stems are square and hollow, leaves are arranged in fours opposite each other, resembling Artemisia.
Tao Hongjing said: Currently harvested in the fourth month, also in the eighth month. Crush and press the stem juice, sun-dry and boil into She Wang. Hunters apply it to arrows; animals shot fall within ten steps, and humans die if hit, requiring rapid antidote treatment. Langling belongs to Runan Commandery.
Meng Xi said: Tufuzi (raw), remove skin, crush, filter juice clear, add fresh liquid and dry repeatedly to obtain paste, named She Wang, used to make poisonous arrows.
Li Shizhen said: Found everywhere. Roots, shoots, flowers, and fruits are identical to Chuan Wutou, except this is wild, lacks processing methods, has black exterior and white interior roots, wrinkled and dry, which is different, yet its toxicity is more severe. Duan Chengshi's *Youyang Zazu* mentions Queyu (Sparrow Taro) resembling a sparrow's head; placed on dry ground it becomes wet, on wet ground it becomes dry. Birds touching it fall, beasts encountering it stiffen. It seems similar to Caowutou but more toxic. It also mentions that in Wugou Mountain, Jining Commandery, there is Mumo Grass. If birds or sparrows accidentally ingest Wuwei and become poisoned, they must urgently eat this grass to detoxify. What is Mumo?
[Processing] Li Shizhen said: Caowutou can be used raw, processed (pao), or boiled with black soybeans to remove toxicity before use.
Wutou
[Properties and Flavor] Acrid, warm, highly toxic. *Bielu* says: Sweet, very hot, highly toxic.
Wu Pu said: Shen Nong, Lei Gong, Tong Jun, Huang Di: Sweet, toxic.
Li Quan said: Bitter, acrid, very hot, highly toxic.
Meng Xi said: Salty, acrid, hot, toxic.
Xu Zhicai said: Mangcao (Isatidis Folium) and Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) are its guides. Antagonistic against Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus), Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Bailian (Pleurospermii Radix), Baiji (Glehniae Radix). Repelled by Lilu (Veratri Radix).
Li Shizhen said: Can restrain Dan Sha (Cinnabaris) and Pi Shi (Arsenolite). Avoid Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean). Feared by Yitang (Maltose), Heidou (Black Soybean), Lengshui (Cold Water), which can resolve its toxicity.
[Indications] Wind-stroke with aversion to wind, shivering sweating, dispelling cold-damp bi-obstruction, reversing cough and rebellious qi, breaking up accumulations of cold-heat. Its juice boiled is named She Wang, killing poultry and beasts (*Benjing*). Eliminating phlegm-cold in the chest, inability to eat, cold diseases of heart and abdomen, umbilical pain, scapular pain, inability to bend or extend, eye pain, inability to gaze long. Also induces abortion (*Bielu*).
Mastering aversion to wind and chill, cold-phlegm enveloping the heart, intestinal and abdominal pain, mass formations, toothache, enhancing yang function, strengthening willpower (Zhen Quan). Treating headache due to wind, throat obstruction, carbuncles, and sores (Li Shizhen).
Wuwei (Alias: Liangtoujian)
[Properties and Flavor] Acrid, slightly warm, highly toxic.
Wu Pu said: Shen Nong, Lei Gong, Tong Jun, Huang Di: Toxic.
Li Quan said: Bitter, acrid, very hot. Feared and antagonized similarly to Wutou.
[Indications] Wind-dampness, male kidney dampness with scrotal itching, alternating chills and fever in joints, pulling lower back pain, inability to walk, carbuncles with pus accumulation. Also induces abortion (*Bielu*). Male kidney qi deficiency, genital sweating, scrofula persisting for years without resolving (Zhen Quan).
She Wang
[Properties and Flavor] Bitter, highly toxic. Xu Zhicai said: Warm.
Meng Xi said: For poisoning by She Wang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix), Lan Zhi (Isatidis Folium), Xiaodou Ye (Vigna Radiata Leaf), Fuping (Lemna Minor), cold water, and Qicai (Shepherd's Purse) can each be used singly to counteract it.
[Indications] Corpse-transmission hard masses, and wind-stroke bi-pain in the head (*Bielu*). Treating sore roots, tubercles, scrofula, toxic swellings, and snake bites. First apply around the four sides of the flesh, gradually approaching the sore. Feeling a tingling sensation, driving the disease to the bone. If the sore has hot pus and yellow fluid, apply it; if no pus/fluid, if there is fresh blood, or new broken wounds, do NOT apply, as it will kill immediately (Chen Cangqi).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen said: Caowutou and She Wang are extremely toxic drugs. Unlike Chuan Wutou and Fuzi, which are cultivated and processed to reduce toxicity, these are not. Unless for stubborn wind emergencies, do not administer lightly. Zhen Quan's *Yaoxing Lun* claims it enhances yang function and treats male kidney deficiency; this cannot be accepted rashly. Such herbs can only search out wind, overcome dampness, open stubborn phlegm, treat stubborn sores, and attack poison with poison. Do they possess the merit of Chuan Wutou and Fuzi in tonifying the right kidney and Mingmen? My acquaintance, Governor Hao of Qi, boasted of medical knowledge. Suffering from wind-tinea, he took excessive Caowutou and Mumiezi. Upon entering the stomach, he became paralyzed and died. How can one not be cautious?
Wang Ji said: Wuwei resembles a crow's beak; its qi is sharp and keen. No wonder it unblocks meridians, benefits joints, finds paths, and reaches the disease site directly. Boiled into She Wang, it kills animals. Is this not due to the sharpness and speed of its qi?
Yang Qingsou said: For wind-cold-damp bi, cold pain inside bones, injuries penetrating bone, chronic pain, or all yin abscesses and toxic swellings. It is suitable to use equal parts Caowutou and Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), with a little Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), ground to powder, mixed with ginger juice and hot wine for topical application. Unbroken ones can dissipate internally; long-standing ulcerated ones can remove black rot. Both herbs have pungent and harsh properties, capable of breaking evil masses, expelling cold-heat, dissolving when cold, and suppurating when hot.
