（《本经》上品）
【释名】瓜丁（《千金》）、苦丁香（象形）。
【修治】 曰∶凡使勿用白瓜蒂，要取青绿色瓜，气足时，其蒂自然落在蔓上。采得，
系屋东有风处，吹干用。
宗 曰∶此甜瓜蒂也。去瓜皮用蒂，约半寸许，曝极干，临时研用。
时珍曰∶按唐瑶云∶甜瓜蒂以团而短瓜、团瓜者良。若香甜瓜及长如瓠子者，皆供菜之
瓜，其蒂不可用也。
【气味】苦，寒，有毒。大明曰∶无毒。
【主治】大水，身面四肢浮肿，下水杀蛊毒，咳逆上气，及食诸果，病在胸腹中，皆吐
下之（《本经》）。去鼻中息肉，疗黄胆（《别录》）。治脑塞热 ，眼昏吐痰（《大明》）。吐
风热痰涎，治风眩头痛，癫痫喉痹，头目有湿气（时珍）。得麝香、细辛，治鼻不闻香臭（好
古）。
【发明】张机曰∶病如桂枝证，头不痛，项不强，寸脉微浮，胸中痞硬，气上冲咽喉，
不得息者，此为胸中有寒也，当吐之；太阳中 ，身热疼重而脉微弱，此夏月伤冷水，水行
皮中也，宜吐之；少阳病，头痛发寒热，脉紧不大，是膈上有痰也，宜吐之；病胸上诸实，
郁郁而痛，不能食，欲人按之，而反有浊唾，下利日十余行，寸口脉微弦者，当吐之；懊
烦躁不得眠，未经汗下者，谓之实烦，当吐之；宿食在上管者，当吐之，并宜以瓜蒂散主之。
惟诸亡血虚家，不可与瓜蒂散也。
成无己曰∶高者越之，在上者涌之。故越以瓜蒂、香豉之苦，涌以赤小豆之酸，酸苦涌
泄为阴也。
杲曰∶《难经》云∶上部有脉，下部无脉，其人当吐不吐者，死。此饮食内伤，填塞胸
中，食伤太阴，风木生发之气伏于下，宜瓜蒂散吐之，《素问》所谓木郁则达之也。吐去上
焦有形之物，则木得舒畅，天地交而万物通矣。若尺脉绝者，不宜用此，恐损真元，令人胃
气不复也。
宗 曰∶此物吐涎，甚不损人，全胜石绿、 砂辈也。
震亨曰∶瓜蒂性急，能损胃气，胃弱者宜以他药代之。病后、产后，尤宜深戒。
时珍曰∶瓜蒂乃阳明经除湿热之药，故能引去胸脘痰涎，头目湿气，皮肤水气，黄胆湿
热诸证，凡胃弱人及病后、产后用吐药，皆宜加慎，何独瓜蒂为然。

（
（《神农本草经》列为上品）
【释名】瓜丁（出自《千金方》）、苦丁香（因其形状像丁香而得名）。
【修治】 雷敩说：凡使用瓜蒂，不要用白瓜的蒂，要选取青绿色的甜瓜，待其气味充足时，其蒂会自然脱落挂在瓜蔓上。采集后，悬挂在房屋东面有风的地方，吹干后使用。
陈藏器说：这是甜瓜的蒂。去掉瓜皮只留蒂，大约半寸长，晒至极干，临用时研成粉末。
李时珍说：根据唐瑶的说法：团状且短的甜瓜、团状瓜的蒂是好的。如果是香甜瓜以及长得像葫芦那样的瓜，都是供食用的菜瓜，它们的蒂不可用。
【气味】味苦，性寒，有毒。马志说：无毒。
【主治】治疗全身水肿，身体、面部及四肢浮肿，能利水并杀灭蛊毒；治疗咳嗽气逆，以及食用各种水果后，病邪停留在胸腹中的情况，都采用催吐或泻下的方法治疗（《神农本草经》）。去除鼻中息肉，治疗黄疸（《名医别录》）。治疗脑部充血发热、眼睛昏花、呕吐痰涎（马志）。吐出风热引起的痰涎，治疗风眩头痛、癫痫、喉痹、头目部的湿气（李时珍）。配合麝香、细辛，治疗鼻子闻不到香味和臭味（寇宗奭）。
【发明】张机（张仲景）说：病症类似桂枝汤证，但头部不痛，项部不强硬，寸脉微微浮起，胸中痞塞坚硬，气向上冲至咽喉，呼吸不畅的，这是胸中有寒邪，应当采用催吐法；夏季中暑，身体发热疼痛沉重而脉象微弱，这是因为夏天受了冷水伤害，水湿行于皮肤之中，适宜采用催吐法；少阳病，头痛发冷发热，脉象紧而不大，是膈上有痰饮，适宜采用催吐法；胸部有各种实邪，郁结而痛，不能进食，想让人按压胸部，反而有浑浊唾液，腹泻一天十多次，寸口脉微弦的，应当采用催吐法；心中烦闷懊恼，烦躁不得睡眠，未经过发汗或泻下治疗的，称为实烦，应当采用催吐法；宿食停留在上脘的，应当采用催吐法，这些情况都适宜用瓜蒂散为主方治疗。只有那些失血过多或体质虚弱的人，不可服用瓜蒂散。
成无己说：病位高的用升提法，病位在上的用涌吐法。所以用瓜蒂、香豉的苦味来涌吐，用赤小豆的酸味来辅助，酸苦合用能涌泄邪气，属于阴法。
王杲说：《难经》说：上部有脉搏，下部无脉搏，病人应当催吐却不吐的，会死亡。这是由于饮食内伤，填塞胸中，损伤了太阴脾土，导致风木生发之气潜伏在下部，适宜用瓜蒂散催吐，这就是《素问》所说的“木郁则达之”。吐出上焦有形的病邪后，肝木之气就能舒畅，天地之气相交而万物通畅。如果尺脉绝迹的，不宜使用此法，恐怕损伤真元，使胃气无法恢复。
陈藏器说：此物催吐涎液，并不怎么损伤人体，完全胜过石绿、朱砂这类药物。
朱震亨说：瓜蒂药性急猛，会损伤胃气，胃弱的人适宜用其他药物代替。病后、产后尤其应该深加戒忌。
李时珍说：瓜蒂是阳明经祛除湿热的药物，所以能引去胸脘的痰涎、头目的湿气、皮肤的水气、黄疸湿热等各种证候。凡是胃弱之人以及病后、产后使用催吐药，都应该谨慎，为什么唯独对瓜蒂如此呢？
【附方】旧方七个，新方十五个。
瓜蒂散：治疗症状见上文。方子用瓜蒂二钱半（炒黄），赤小豆二钱半，研为末。每次用一钱，用香豉一合，热水七合，煮成粥状，去渣，混合服用。逐渐增加剂量，以快吐为止。（张仲景《伤寒论》）
夏季中暑：身体发热头痛而脉象微弱，这是夏天受了冷水伤害，水湿行于皮肤所致。瓜蒂二十七个，水一升，煮取五合，一次服下以引起呕吐。（《金匮要略》）
风涎突然发作，气塞昏倒：用瓜蒂研为末。每次用一、二钱，轻粉一钱匕，用水半合调匀灌服，过了一会儿涎液自然流出。如果不流出来，含一块沙糖咽下，涎液就会流出。（寇宗奭《衍义》）

湿家头痛：瓜蒂末一字量，吹入鼻中，口中含冷水，取出黄水即愈。（《活人书》）

风热牙痛：瓜蒂七枚（炒后研碎），少许麝香调和，用棉包裹咬住，流出涎液。（《圣济总录》）
鸡屎白秃（秃疮）：甜瓜蔓连蒂不拘多少，用水浸泡一夜，在砂锅中熬取苦汁，去渣再熬如糖浆状盛放收藏。每次剃去痂皮，洗净，用膏一盏，加半夏末二钱，姜汁一匙，狗胆汁一枚，调和均匀涂抹，不超过三次。忌食动风之物。（《儒门事亲》）

(Recorded as a Superior Grade herb in *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
**Names:** Guading (from *Qianjin Fang*), Kudingxiang (named for its shape resembling Dingxiang/Clove).
**Preparation:** Lei Xiao stated: When using Gudi, do not use the pedicel of white melons. Select green sweet melons; when they are fully mature, their pedicels will naturally detach and remain on the vine. After harvesting, hang them in a windy place on the east side of the house to dry by air.
Chen Cangqi stated: This refers to the pedicel of the sweet melon (*Cucumis melo*). Remove the rind and keep only the pedicel, about half cun long. Dry it thoroughly and grind into powder just before use.
Li Shizhen stated: According to Tang Yao: The pedicels of round and short sweet melons or round melons are superior. Pedicels from fragrant sweet melons or those elongated like bottle gourds belong to vegetables used for food and should not be used medicinally.
**Flavor and Properties:** Bitter, Cold, Toxic. Ma Zhi stated: Non-toxic.
**Indications:** Treats severe edema, swelling of the body, face, and limbs; promotes urination and kills gu poison (parasitic disease); treats cough with rebellious qi, and conditions where pathogenic factors remain in the chest and abdomen after consuming various fruits, treating them by inducing vomiting or purging (*Shennong Bencao Jing*). Removes nasal polyps and treats jaundice (*Mingyi Bielu*). Treats cerebral congestion and heat, blurred vision, and vomiting of phlegm (Ma Zhi). Expels wind-heat phlegm-saliva, treats wind-dizziness headache, epilepsy, throat obstruction, and dampness in the head and eyes (Li Shizhen). Combined with Moschus (Shexiang) and Asarum (Xixin), treats anosmia and inability to smell odors (Kou Zongshi).
**Elucidation:** Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing) stated: When symptoms resemble Guizhi Tang syndrome but without headache or neck stiffness, with a slightly floating pulse at the Cun position, stuffiness and hardness in the chest, qi rushing up to the throat causing dyspnea, this indicates cold pathogen in the chest and should be treated by inducing vomiting. For summerheat stroke with fever, heavy pain, and weak pulse, caused by cold water injury in summer with water circulating in the skin, induction of vomiting is appropriate. In Shaoyang disease with headache, chills, and fever, and a tight, not-large pulse, indicating phlegm-fluid above the diaphragm, induction of vomiting is appropriate. For various excess patterns in the upper chest characterized by depression and pain, inability to eat, desire for pressure on the chest, yet producing turbid saliva, accompanied by diarrhea more than ten times a day and a slightly wiry pulse at the Cun position, induction of vomiting is indicated. For restlessness, oppression, irritability, and insomnia without prior sweating or purging, termed "excess irritability," induction of vomiting is indicated. For retained food in the upper jiao, induction of vomiting is indicated. All these conditions are primarily treated with Gudi San (Melon Pedicel Powder). However, patients with blood loss or deficiency constitution must not take Gudi San.
Cheng Wuji stated: "For high positions, use ascending methods; for upper positions, use surging/vomiting methods." Thus, the bitterness of Gudi and Fermented Soybean (Chidou) induces vomiting, assisted by the sourness of Adzuki Bean (Chixiaodou). Sour and bitter combined induce drainage, belonging to Yin methods.
Wang Hao stated: *Nan Jing* says: If there is a pulse at the upper position but none at the lower position, the patient should vomit; if they do not, death ensues. This is due to dietary injury blocking the chest, damaging Taiyin Spleen Qi, causing Wood Wind-Shengfa Qi to stagnate below. Gudi San should be used to induce vomiting, as described in *Su Wen*: "When Wood is depressed, it should be dispersed." Removing有形 (有形 - tangible/form) pathogens from the Upper Jiao allows Wood Qi to flow freely, enabling Heaven and Earth Qi to interact and all things to proceed smoothly. If the Chi pulse is absent, this method is contraindicated as it may damage True Yuan (True Origin) and prevent Stomach Qi from recovering.
Chen Cangqi stated: This substance induces salivation/vomiting but does not significantly harm the person, far surpassing minerals like Realgar (Shilv) and Cinnabar (Zhusha).
Zhu Zhenheng stated: Gudi has an urgent nature and can damage Stomach Qi; those with weak stomachs should substitute it with other herbs. It is especially contraindicated post-illness and postpartum.
Li Shizhen stated: Gudi is a herb for dispelling damp-heat in the Yangming Meridian, thus capable of drawing out phlegm-saliva from the chest and epigastrium, dampness from the head and eyes, water-dampness from the skin, and various damp-heat patterns like jaundice. Caution is required for anyone with weak stomachs, or post-illness/postpartum patients using emetics, not just for Gudi specifically.
**Attached Prescriptions:** Seven old prescriptions, fifteen new ones.
**Gudi San (Melon Pedicel Powder):** Indications see above. Formula: Gudi 2.5 qian (stir-fried until yellow), Chixiaodou 2.5 qian, ground into powder. Take 1 qian per dose. Mix with Xiangchi (Stir-fried Soybean) 1 he and hot water 7 he, boil into a porridge consistency, strain, and mix with the powder. Increase dosage gradually until vigorous vomiting occurs, then stop. (Zhang Zhongjing, *Shanghan Lun*)
**Summerheat Stroke:** Fever, headache, weak pulse, caused by cold water injury in summer with water circulating in the skin. Gudi 27 pedicels, Water 1 sheng, boil to obtain 5 he, take once to induce vomiting. (*Jingui Yaolue*)
**Sudden Onset of Wind-Phlegm, Qi Blockage and Collapse:** Use Gudi powder. Take 1-2 qian, mixed with Qingfen (Calomel) 1 qian bi, diluted with half he of water, and灌 (administer). Saliva will flow out after a while. If it does not flow, hold a piece of rock sugar in the mouth and swallow; saliva will then flow. (Kou Zongshi, *Yanyi*)
**Various Wind Patterns and Epilepsy:** Phlegm in the diaphragm due to various winds, overflowing saliva in epilepsy. Stir-fry Gudi until yellow, grind to powder. Based on the patient's condition, administer with one cup of sour pickle juice to induce vomiting. For wind-epilepsy, add Quanjie (Whole Scorpion Tail) 0.5 qian. For dampness causing swelling and fullness, add Chixiaodou powder 1 qian; if parasites are present, add Dog Gallbladder Oil 5-7 drops, Xionghuang (Realgar) 1 qian; if severe, add Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos) 0.5 qian to immediately expel worms. (Li Dongyuan, *Huofa Jiyao*)
**Wind-Epilepsy and Throat Wind:** Cough, generalized wind-rashes, acute phlegm-tide, applicable to adults and children. This medicine does not cause violent vomiting but only expels saliva. Grind Gudi to powder. Adults take 1 zi dose, elderly and children take 0.5 zi dose, with morning well water. After one meal duration, hold a piece of rock sugar. Soon, saliva will flow like water; in chronic cases, black ink-like saliva with block-like substances floating on water may appear. After saliva is exhausted, consume congee for 1-2 days. If vomiting is excessive and the patient is very weak, drink a cup of Moschus-infused water to stop it. (*Jingyan Houfang*)
**Acute Jaundice with Dyspnea, Hardness in Heart Region, Thirst:** Gudi 2 small he, Chixiaodou 1 he, grind to powder. Warm Jiangshui (fermented grain water) 5 he, take 1 fangcun bi dose. Vomiting should occur within the time it takes to cook a meal; if not, repeat. Blowing into the nose to induce tearing/vomiting is also effective. (*Shanghan Lun* commentary/related text)
**Generalized Golden Color (Severe Acute Jaundice):** Gudi 49 pieces, Dingxiang (Clove) 49 pieces, roasted in a sweet pot until carbonized but retaining nature, grind to powder. Blow 1 zi dose into the nose to extract yellow fluid. Can also be rubbed on teeth to chase saliva. (*Jingyan Fang*)
**Heat Disease with Yellowing:** Grind Gudi to powder. Blow a soy-bean-sized amount into the nose. Mild cases resolve in half a day, severe in one day, upon discharge of yellow fluid. (*Qianjin Yifang*)
**Jaundice:** Take Gudi, Dingxiang, and Chixiaodou, 7 pieces each, grind to powder. Blow a bean-sized amount into the nose; yellow fluid will flow out after a short time. Use every other day until cured. (Meng Shen, *Shiliao*)
**Body and Facial Edema:** Same formula as above. **Ten Types of Gu Qi:** Grind Kudingxiang to powder, mix with jujube paste, make pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 30 pills per dose with jujube decoction. Highly effective. (*Ruizhutang Fang*)
**Headache in Damp-Patients:** Blow 1 zi dose of Gudi powder into the nose, hold cold water in the mouth, extract yellow fluid to cure. (*Huren Shu*)
**Malaria with Chills and Fever:** Soak 2 Gudi pedicels in half a zhan of water overnight, take once to induce vomiting and cure. (*Qianjin Fang*)
**Mania with Desire to Run:** Take 1 qian of Gudi powder with well water to induce vomiting and cure. (*Shenghui Fang*)
**Constipation:** Grind 7 Gudi pedicels to powder, wrap in cotton, insert into the anus to relieve obstruction. (*Bixiao Fang*)
**Nasal Polyps:** *Shenghui Fang*: Blow aged Gudi powder into the nose three times daily until cured. Another method: Mix Gudi powder and Baijian (Alum) powder, 0.5 qian each, wrap in cotton and insert, or mix with pig fat into a suppository and insert. Change once daily. Another method: Use 2 fresh sweet melon pedicels, Fen Xionghuang (Realgar), and Shexiang (Moschus) 0.5 fen, grind to powder. First scratch the polyp, then apply the powder three times daily. *Tangye*: Use 14 Gudi pedicels, 1 Dingxiang, and 49 Semen Setariae (Shumi), grind to powder. [Text incomplete/corrupted here regarding administration].
**Wind-Heat Toothache:** Stir-fry and grind 7 Gudi pedicels, mix with a little Moschus, wrap in cotton, bite down to induce salivation. (*Shengji Zonglu*)
**Chicken-Dung White Baldness (Scalp Tinea):** Sweet melon vines with pedicels, any amount. Soak in water overnight, boil in a clay pot to extract bitter juice, strain, and reduce to a syrup consistency for storage. Shave off scabs, clean the area, apply one zhan of this ointment mixed with Banxia powder 2 qian, Ginger Juice 1 spoon, and one Dog Gallbladder. Apply evenly. Do not exceed three applications. Avoid wind-aggravating foods. (*Rumen Shiqin*)
**Asthma and Phlegm-Qi:** Take 3 Kudingxiang, grind to powder. Mix with water and take; vomiting of phlegm will stop. (*Zhu Shi Jiyan Fang*)
**Vine (Dried in shade)**
**Indications:** Amenorrhea in women, combined with Qianli Zi (Quisqualis Fructus), half liang each.
