【释名】皂角（《纲目》）、鸡栖子（《纲目》）
时珍曰∶荚之树皂，故名。《广志》谓之鸡栖子，曾氏方谓之乌犀，《外丹本草》谓
之悬刀。
【集解】《别录》曰∶皂荚生雍州山谷及鲁。邹县，如猪牙者良。
九月、十月采荚，阴干。
弘景曰∶处处有之，长尺二者良。俗人见其有虫孔而未尝见虫形，皆言不可近，令人恶
病，殊不尔也。其虫状如草叶上青虫，荚微黑便出，所以难见。
恭曰∶此物有三种∶猪牙皂荚最下，其形曲戾薄恶，全无滋润，洗垢不去；其尺二者，
粗大长虚而无润；若长六、七寸，圆浓节促直者，皮薄多肉，味浓大好。
颂曰∶所在有之，以怀、孟州者为胜。木极有高硕者。《本经》用如猪牙者，陶用尺二
者
虽殊
长而尖。枝间多刺。夏开细黄花。结实有三种∶一种
一种长而瘦薄，枯燥不粘。以多脂者为佳。其树多刺难上，采时以蔑箍其树，一夜自落，亦
一异也。有不结实者，树凿一孔，入生铁三、五斤，泥封之，即结荚。人以铁砧捶皂荚，即
自损。铁碾碾之，久则成孔。铁锅爨之，多爆片落。岂皂荚与铁有感召之情耶？

【修治】 曰∶凡使，要赤肥并不蛀者，以新汲水浸一宿，用铜刀削去粗皮，以酥反复
炙透，捶去子、弦用。每荚一两，用酥五钱。
好古曰∶凡用有蜜炙、酥炙、绞汁、烧灰之异，各依方法。
【气味】辛、咸，温，有小毒。
好古曰∶入厥阴经气分。
时珍曰∶入手太阴、阳明经气分。
之才曰∶柏实为之使。恶麦门冬，畏空青、人参、苦参。

【背景信息】
书名：本草纲目 作者：李时珍 朝代：明·万历六年 章节：皂荚(1/2) 类别：本草
（《神农本草经》列为下品）
【释名】皂角（《本草纲目》）、鸡栖子（《本草纲目》）
李时珍说：因为结荚的树是皂树，所以得名。《广志》称它为鸡栖子，曾氏的方书中称它为乌犀，《外丹本草》称它为悬刀。
【集解】《名医别录》说：皂荚生长在雍州的山谷以及鲁地邹县，形状像猪牙的最好。
九月、十月采集果荚，阴干。
陶弘景说：到处都有生长，长一尺二寸的为好。普通人看见它有虫孔却从未见过虫子的形状，都说它不可靠近，会使人得恶病，其实并不是这样。这种虫子形状像草叶上的青虫，果荚微黑时就出来了，所以很难见到。
苏恭说：这种东西有三种：猪牙皂荚最差，它的形状弯曲恶劣，完全没有滋润作用，洗不掉污垢；那种一尺二长的，粗大长而空虚且无滋润；如果是长六、七寸，圆实节短且直的，皮薄肉厚，味道浓厚，是最好的。
苏颂说：各地都有，以怀州、孟州出产的为优。树木有非常高大的。《神农本草经》用像猪牙的那种，陶弘景用一尺二长的，虽然不同，但都长而尖。枝条间多刺。夏天开细小的黄花。结三种果实：一种长而瘦薄，干燥不粘。以多油脂的为佳。这棵树多刺难以攀爬，采摘时用蔑条箍住树干，一夜之间果实自然落下，也是一件奇事。有不结果的树，在树上凿一个孔，放入三、五斤生铁，用泥封住，就会结果。人们用铁砧捶打皂荚，它就会自己受损。用铁碾碾压，久了就会成孔。用铁锅煮，大多会爆裂成片落下。难道皂荚与铁之间有感应之情吗？
【修治】雷敩说：凡是使用，要选红色肥厚且不蛀的，用新汲水浸泡一晚，用铜刀削去粗皮，用酥油反复炙烤透，捶去种子和筋膜使用。每两皂荚，用五钱酥油。
寇宗奭说：凡是有蜜炙、酥炙、绞汁、烧灰的不同，各依方法。
【气味】辛、咸，温，有小毒。
寇宗奭说：入厥阴经气分。
李时珍说：入手太阴、阳明经气分。
徐之才说：柏实为它的使药。畏麦门冬，怕空青、人参、苦参。
陈藏器说：畏丹砂、粉霜、硫黄、硇砂。
【主治】风痹死肌邪气，风头泪出，利九窍，杀精物（《神农本草经》）。疗腹胀满，消谷，除咳嗽囊结，妇人胞衣不下，明目益精。可用作沐浴药，不入汤剂（《名医别录》）。通关节，除头风，消痰杀虫，治骨蒸，开胃，中风口噤（唐慎微）。破坚症，腹中痛，能堕胎。又将浸酒中，取尽其精华，煎成膏涂在帛上，贴敷一切肿痛（甄权）。溽暑久雨时，合苍术烧烟，辟瘟疫邪湿气，治咽喉痹塞，痰气喘咳，风疠疥癣（李时珍）。
【发明】寇宗奭说：皂荚是厥阴经的药。《活人书》治阴毒正阳散内用皂荚，引入厥阴经。
李时珍说：皂荚属金，入手太阴、阳明经。金胜木，燥胜风，所以兼入足厥阴经，治风木之病。它的味辛而性燥，气浮而散。吹之导之，则通上下诸窍；服之则治风湿痰喘肿满，杀虫；涂之则散肿消毒，搜风治疮。按：庞安时《伤寒总病论》说：元祐五年，从春到秋，蕲州、黄州两地百姓患急喉痹，十死八九，快的半天、一天就死。黄州推官潘昌言得到黑龙膏方，救活了几人。其方：入口。用大皂荚四十挺切，水三斗，浸一夜，煎至一斗半。入人参末半两，甘草末一两，煎至五升，去渣。入无灰酒一升，釜煤二匕，煎如饴糖，入瓶封，埋地中一夜。每温酒化下一匙，或扫入喉内，取尽恶涎为止。后含甘草片。又孙用和《家传秘宝方》说：凡人猝中风，昏昏如醉，形体不收，或倒或不倒，或口角流涎出，片刻不治，便成大病。此症风涎潮于上，胸痹气不通，宜用急救稀涎散吐之。用大皂荚（肥实不蛀者）四挺（去黑皮），白矾（光明者）一两，生矾末半两，腻粉半两，水调一、二钱，过咽即吐涎。

[Background Information]
Book: Bencao Gangmu (Compendium of Materia Medica) Author: Li Shizhen Dynasty: Ming, 6th Year of Wanli Chapter: Gleditsia Sinensis (1/2) Category: Materia Medica
(Listed as Lower Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
【Names】 Zaojiao (Gleditsia sinensis fruit pod) (*Bencao Gangmu*), Jiqizi (*Bencao Gangmu*).
Li Shizhen stated: It is named so because the tree bearing the pods has a bitter taste. *Guangzhi* calls it Jiqizi, Zeng's medical formulas call it Wuxi, and *Waidan Bencao* calls it Xuandao.
【Collection & Description】 *Bielu* states: Gleditsia sinensis grows in the valleys of Yongzhou and Zou County in Lu. Those resembling pig teeth are of superior quality.
Harvest the pods in September and October, and dry them in the shade.
Tao Hongjing stated: It grows everywhere; those reaching one chi two cun in length are good. Ordinary people see holes made by insects but have never seen the insects themselves, claiming it should not be approached as it causes malignant diseases, which is entirely incorrect. The insect resembles a green caterpillar on grass leaves; it emerges when the pod turns slightly black, making it difficult to see.
Su Gong stated: There are three types of this substance: Pig-tooth Gleditsia is the lowest grade; its shape is curved and ugly, completely lacking moisture, unable to wash away dirt. The one that is one chi two cun long is thick, large, hollow, and lacks moisture. If it is six or seven cun long, round, dense, with short nodes and straight, having thin skin and thick flesh with a strong flavor, it is excellent.
Su Song stated: It is available everywhere, with those from Huai and Meng prefectures being superior. The trees can grow extremely tall. *Shennong Bencao Jing* uses the pig-tooth type, while Tao Hongjing uses the one chi two cun type; although different, both are long and pointed. There are many thorns between branches. Small yellow flowers bloom in summer. Three types of fruits form: one type is long, thin, and brittle, non-sticky. Those with more oil/grease are preferred. The tree is very thorny and hard to climb; during harvesting, bamboo hoops are used to bind the tree, causing the pods to fall naturally overnight, which is also a curiosity. Trees that do not bear fruit can be induced to produce pods by drilling a hole in the trunk, inserting three to five jin of raw iron, and sealing it with mud. Beating Gleditsia pods with an iron anvil causes them to damage themselves. Rolling them with an iron mill eventually creates holes. Boiling them in an iron pot causes many to burst and fall off. Is there a sympathetic relationship between Gleditsia and iron?
【Processing】 Lei Xiao stated: When using, select red, plump, uninfested pods. Soak them in fresh water overnight. Scrape off the rough skin with a copper knife. Roast repeatedly with lard/suet until thoroughly cooked, then pound to remove seeds and membranes. For every liang of pod, use five qian of lard/suet.
Kou Zongshi stated: Processing methods vary including honey-roasting, lard/suet-roasting, juicing, and ashing, depending on the prescription.
【Flavor & Toxicity】 Pungent, salty, warm, slightly toxic.
Kou Zongshi stated: Enters the Jueyin meridian Qi level.
Li Shizhen stated: Enters the Hand Taiyin and Yangming meridian Qi levels.
Xu Zhicai stated: Platycodonis Radix (Baishi) acts as its guide drug. It opposes Ophiopogonis Radix (Maimendong), and fears Azurite (Kongqing), Ginseng (Renshen), and Sophorae Flavescentis Radix (Kushen).
Chen Cangqi stated: It fears Cinnabar (Dansha), Frost Powder (Fenshuang), Sulfur (Liu Huang), and Ammonium Chloride (Naosha).
【Indications】 Wind-bi, dead muscle tissue, evil qi, headache with tearing, unblocks the nine orifices, kills spirits/demons (*Shennong Bencao Jing*). Treats abdominal distension and fullness, aids digestion, removes cough and scrotal swelling, retains the placenta in women, brightens eyes and benefits essence. Can be used for hair washing, not for decoctions (*Bielu*). Unblocks joints, removes wind-headache, resolves phlegm, kills parasites, treats bone-steaming fever, opens the stomach, treats stroke with locked jaw (*Da Ming*). Breaks hard masses, treats abdominal pain, induces abortion. Soaked in wine, extracted essence, boiled into paste applied to cloth for all swellings and pain (*Zhen Quan*). During humid summers and prolonged rain, burned with Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu) to smoke out epidemic pestilence and damp-evil qi, treats throat obstruction, phlegm-wheezing cough, leprosy, and tinea (*Li Shizhen*).
【Elucidation】 Kou Zongshi stated: Gleditsia is a Jueyin herb. *Huo Ren Shu* uses Gleditsia in Yin Du Zheng Yang San to guide herbs into the Jueyin.
Li Shizhen stated: Gleditsia belongs to Metal, entering the Hand Taiyin and Yangming meridians. Metal overcomes Wood; dryness overcomes wind, thus it also enters Foot Jueyin to treat wind-wood diseases. Its flavor is pungent and nature dry; its qi floats and disperses. Blowing or guiding it unblocks the upper and lower orifices; ingesting it treats wind-dampness, phlegm-wheezing, swelling/fullness, and kills parasites; applying it dissipates swelling, clears toxicity, searches for wind, and treats sores. According to Pang An Shi's *Shanghan Zongbing Lun*: In the 5th year of Yuanyou, from spring to autumn, people in Qi and Huang prefectures suffered from acute throat bi, with eight or nine deaths out of ten, some dying within half a day or one day. Pan Changyan, Vice Magistrate of Huangzhou, obtained the Black Dragon Paste formula and saved several people. The formula: Cut forty large Gleditsia pods, soak in three dou of water overnight, boil down to one dan and half. Add half liang of Ginseng powder and one liang of Licorice powder, boil down to five sheng, strain. Add one sheng of pure wine and two spoons of pot sediment, boil until like syrup, seal in a bottle, bury underground overnight. Dissolve one spoon in warm wine each time, or sweep into the throat until foul saliva is cleared. Then suck on Licorice slices. Also, Sun Yonghe's *Jiachuan Mibao Fang* states: When a person suddenly suffers stroke, dazed like drunk, body uncontrolled, falling or not, drooling from mouth corner, if not treated immediately, it becomes serious illness. This condition involves wind-phlegm surging upward, chest bi with blocked qi, suitable for Jiuxiang Xitian San to induce vomiting. Use four large Gleditsia pods (plump, uninfested, remove black skin), one liang of white alum (bright), half liang of raw alum powder, half liang of Calomelas (Nifen), mix with water one to two qian, swallow to induce vomiting of saliva.
