【发明】时珍曰∶绿豆色绿，小豆之属木者也，通于厥阴、阳明。其性稍平，消肿治痘
之功虽同赤豆，而压热解毒之力过之。且益气，浓肠胃，通经脉，无久服枯人之忌。但以作
凉粉，造豆酒，或偏于冷，或偏于热，能致人病，皆人所为，非豆之咎也。豆粉须以绿色
粘腻者为真。外科治痈疽有内托护心散，极言其神效，丹溪朱氏有论发挥。
震亨曰∶《外科精要》谓内托散，一日至三日进十数服，可免毒瓦斯内攻脏腑。窃详绿豆
解丹毒，治石毒，味甘，入阳明，性寒能补，为君。以乳香去恶肿，入少阴，性温善窜为
佐。甘草性缓，解五金、八石、百药毒为使。想此方专为服丹石发疽者设也。若夫年老者
、病深者、证备者、体虚者，绿豆虽补，将有不胜其任之患。五香连翘汤亦非必用之剂。必
当助气壮胃，使根本坚固，而行经活血为佐，参以经络时令，使毒瓦斯外发，此则内托之本意
，治施之早，可以内消也。
【附方】新十二。
护心散又名内托散、乳香万全散。凡有疽疾，一日至三日之内，宜连进十余服，方免变
证，使毒瓦斯出外。服之稍迟，毒瓦斯内攻，渐生呕吐，或鼻生疮菌，不食即危矣。四、五日后
，亦宜间服之∶用真绿豆粉一两，乳香半两，灯心同研和匀，以生甘草浓煎汤调下一钱，时
时呷之。若毒瓦斯冲心，有呕逆之证，大宜服此。盖绿豆压热下气，消肿解毒。乳香消诸痈肿
毒。服至一两，则香彻疮孔中，真圣药也。（李嗣立《外科方》）。

【背景信息】
书名：本草纲目 作者：李时珍 朝代：明·万历六年 章节：绿豆 类别：本草
（宋代《开宝本草》）
【释名】李时珍说∶“绿”是根据颜色命名的。旧版书籍中写作“KT”字的，是错误的。
【集解】苏颂说∶绿豆以颗粒圆小者为佳。磨成粉做成糕点烤着吃很好。大的叫作[豆字旁加豆]豆，其苗和种子相似，也能降气治疗霍乱。
吴瑞说∶有官绿、油绿两种，主要疗效是一样的。
李时珍说∶绿豆，各地都有种植。三、四月播种，苗高一尺左右，叶子小而多毛，到秋天开小花，豆荚像赤豆的豆荚。颗粒粗大且色泽鲜艳的叫官绿；皮薄粉多、颗粒小且色泽深的叫油绿；皮厚粉少且早种的，称为摘绿，可以频繁采摘；晚种的称为拔绿，一次拔完即可。北方人广泛使用它，可以做豆粥、豆饭、豆酒，炒食、煮食，磨成面粉，澄清过滤取粉，可以做成饵块、顿糕、荡皮、搓索等，是食物中的重要物品。用水浸泡湿润生出白芽，又是蔬菜中的佳品。牛马的饲料也多依赖它。真是济世救人的优良谷物啊。
【气味】甘味，寒性，无毒。
陈藏器说∶使用时宜连皮，去皮则使人小便壅滞气机，因为皮性寒而肉性平。与榧子壳相反，对人有害。合鲤鱼[食用会中毒/产生不良反应]。
【主治】煮食，消肿下气，清热解毒。生研绞汁服用，治疗丹毒烦热风疹，药物石药引发的热病，热气奔豚（《开宝本草》）。治疗寒热及热中症，止住泄痢突然发作，通利小便消除胀满（孙思邈）。充实肠胃。做枕头，明目，治疗头风头痛。止住呕吐逆气（《日华子本草》）。补益元气，调和五脏，安定精神，运行十二经脉，去除浮风，滋润皮肤，适宜经常食用。煮汁，止住消渴（孟诜）。解一切草药、牛马、金石各种毒（宁原）。治疗痘毒，利消肿[此处原文可能有缺字，意指消肿或类似功效]。
【发明】李时珍说∶绿豆肉性平皮性寒，解金石、砒霜、草木一切诸毒，宜连皮生研用水送服。
按∶《夷坚志》记载∶有人喝附子酒过多，头肿得像斗一样大，嘴唇破裂流血。急忙求绿豆、黑豆各几合嚼食，并煎汤饮用，于是毒性解除。
【附方】新编十一首。
扁鹊三豆饮，治疗天行痘疮。预先服用此饮，疏解热毒，即使出痘也较少∶用绿豆、赤小豆、黑大豆各一升，甘草节二两，用水八升，煮至极熟。随意吃豆喝汁，七日停止。另一方法∶加黄大豆、白大[豆]。
痘后痈毒初起，用三豆膏治疗，神效∶绿豆、赤小豆、黑大豆等分，研为末。醋调匀时时扫涂，即消退。（《医学正传》）
防止痘毒入眼∶用绿豆七粒，让儿童自己投入井中，频繁看七遍，然后回来。
小儿丹毒肿胀∶绿豆五钱，大黄二钱。研为末。用生薄荷汁加入蜂蜜调匀涂抹。（《全幼心鉴》）。
赤痢不止∶用大麻子，水研磨过滤取汁，煮绿豆吃，极有效。吃粥也可以。（《必效方》）。
老人淋痛∶青豆二升，橘皮二两，煮豆粥，加入麻子汁一升。空腹逐渐食用，并饮用其汁，很灵验。（《养老书》）。
消渴饮水∶绿豆煮汁，并做成粥吃。（《普济方》）。
心气疼痛∶绿豆二十一粒，胡椒十四粒。同研，用白开水调服即止。
多食易饥∶绿豆、黄麦、糯米各一升，炒熟磨粉。每次用白开水服一杯，三、五天见效。
十种水气∶用绿豆二合半，大附子一只（去皮脐，切作两片）。水三碗，煮熟，空腹卧时吃豆。第二天将附子两片切成四片，再用绿豆二合半，像前面那样煮食。第三天另外用绿豆、附子像前面那样煮食。第四天像第二天方法煮食。水从小便排出，肿胀自然消退。未消退再服。忌生冷、毒物、盐、酒六十日，没有不有效的。（《朱氏集验方》）。
绿豆粉
【气味】甘味，凉、平性，无毒。
宁原说∶其胶粘的，脾胃虚弱的人不可多吃。
吴瑞说∶勿靠近杏仁，则会腐烂不能制作索状食品。
【主治】解各种热，益气，解酒食各种毒，治疗发背痈疽疮肿，以及汤火伤灼（吴瑞）。痘疮湿烂不结痂的，干扑之良好（宁原）。新汲水调服，治疗霍乱转筋，解各种药毒致死，心头尚温者（李时珍）。解菰菌、砒毒（汪颖）。
【发明】李时珍说∶绿豆色绿，属于小豆类属木，通于厥阴、阳明经。其性稍平，消肿治痘的功效虽然与赤豆相同，但压热解毒的力量超过它。而且益气，充实肠胃，通经脉，没有久服枯损人体的忌讳。只是如果用来做凉粉，造豆酒，或者偏于冷，或者偏于热，能导致人生病，都是人为的因素，不是豆的过错。豆粉必须以绿色粘腻的为真品。外科治疗痈疽有内托护心散，极力称赞其神效，丹溪朱氏有论述发挥。
朱震亨说∶《外科精要》称内托散，一日至三日进服十余次，可避免毒瓦斯内攻脏腑。仔细详查绿豆解丹毒，治石毒，味甘，入阳明经，性寒能补，作为君药。以乳香去恶肿，入少阴经，性温善窜作为佐药。甘草性缓，解五金、八石、百药毒作为使药。想这个方子是专门为服用丹石引发疽者设立的。如果是年老的人、病深的人、证候完备的人、体虚的人，绿豆虽补，将有不胜任的祸患。五香连翘汤也不是必用的药剂。必定应当助气壮胃，使根本坚固，而行经活血作为佐药，参酌经络时令，使毒瓦斯外发，这才是内托的本意，治疗施用于早期，可以内消。
【附方】新编十二首。
护心散又名内托散、乳香万全散。凡是有疽疾，一日至三日之内，宜连续进服十余次，才免变证，使毒瓦斯外出。服药稍迟，毒瓦斯内攻，渐生呕吐，或鼻生疮菌，不进食就危险了。四、五日后，也宜间服∶用真绿豆粉一两，乳香半两，灯心草同研和匀，用生甘草浓煎汤调下一钱，时时呷饮。若毒瓦斯冲心，有呕逆之证，非常适宜服此。盖绿豆压热下气，消肿解毒。乳香消诸痈肿毒。服至一两，则香气透彻疮孔中，真是圣药啊。（李嗣立《外科方》）。
疮气呕吐∶绿豆粉三钱，干胭脂半钱，研匀。新汲水调下，一服立即停止。（《普济方》）。
霍乱吐利∶绿豆粉、白糖各二两，新汲水调服，即愈。（《生生编》）。
解烧酒毒∶绿豆粉荡皮，多吃即解。
解鸩酒毒∶绿豆粉三合。水调服。
解砒石毒∶绿豆粉、寒水石等分，用蓝根汁调服三、五钱。（《卫生易简》）。
解诸药毒已死，但心头温者∶用绿豆粉调水服。（《卫生易简方》）。
打扑损伤∶用绿豆粉新铫炒紫，新汲井水调敷，用杉木皮缚定，其效如神。这是汀州人陈氏梦传的方子。（《澹寮方》）。
杖疮疼痛∶绿豆粉，炒研，用鸡子白和涂之，妙。（《生生编》）。
外肾生疮∶绿豆粉、蚯蚓粪等分。研涂之。

[Background Information]
Book: Compendium of Materia Medica (Bencao Gangmu)
Author: Li Shizhen
Dynasty: Ming Dynasty, 6th Year of Wanli
Chapter: Mung Bean (Lü Dou)
Category: Materia Medica
(Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Names] Li Shizhen said: "Green" is named after its color. The character written as "KT" in old editions is incorrect.
[Collection and Explanation] Su Song said: Mung beans are best when round and small. Made into powder and baked as cakes, they are good to eat. The larger ones are called [character for bean variant], and their seedlings and seeds are similar; they can also descend Qi and treat Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome).
Wu Rui said: There are "Official Green" and "Oil Green" varieties; their main therapeutic effects are the same.
Li Shizhen said: Mung beans are grown everywhere. Sown in March and April, the seedlings grow about one chi high, with small, hairy leaves. In autumn, they open small flowers, and the pods resemble those of red beans. Those with coarse grains and bright color are called "Official Green"; those with thin skins, high starch content, small grains, and deep color are called "Oil Green"; those with thick skins, low starch, and early planting are called "Zhai Green" (picked green), which can be harvested frequently; late-planted ones are called "Ba Green" (pulled green), harvested once. Northerners use them extensively: for bean porridge, bean rice, bean wine, stir-frying, boiling, grinding into flour, clarifying to extract starch for making cakes, sheets, and noodles; they are essential food items. Soaked in water to sprout white shoots, they are also excellent vegetables. They are also widely used as feed for cattle and horses. Truly an excellent grain for saving the world.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
Chen Zangqi said: It is advisable to use the skin; removing it causes urinary stagnation and Qi obstruction, because the skin is cold while the flesh is neutral. It is incompatible with Torreya seed shells, harming humans. Combined with carp [causes adverse reactions].
[Therapeutic Actions] Boiled and eaten, it reduces swelling, descends Qi, clears heat, and detoxifies. Crushed raw, juice extracted and taken orally, it treats Dan Du (erysipelas), vexing wind-heat rashes, heat conditions triggered by medicinal minerals, and Reqi Ben Tun (rushing qi sensation) (*Kaibao Bencao*). Treats chills and fever, heat in the middle jiao, stops sudden diarrhea and dysentery, promotes urination, and relieves distension (Sun Simiao). Strengthens the intestines and stomach. Used as a pillow, it brightens the eyes and treats head wind and headache. Stops vomiting and regurgitation (*Ri Hua Zi Bencao*). Tonifies original Qi, harmonizes the five zang organs, calms the spirit, circulates the twelve meridians, removes floating wind, moistens the skin, and is suitable for regular consumption. Boiled juice stops Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome) (Meng Shen). Resolves all herbal, bovine, equine, and mineral toxins (Ning Yuan). Treats toxin from smallpox/variolae, benefits swelling reduction.
[Innovation and Discovery] Li Shizhen said: The flesh of mung beans is neutral, while the skin is cold. It resolves toxins from minerals, arsenic, and all herbs and plants; it is best to crush it raw with the skin and take it with water.
Note: *Yijian Zhi* records: A person drank too much Aconite wine, resulting in a head swollen like a bucket and cracked lips bleeding. He urgently chewed several he of mung beans and black soybeans, and drank decoction made from them, thereby resolving the toxicity.
[Attached Prescriptions] Eleven new prescriptions.
Bian Que's Three Bean Drink, treating epidemic variola (smallpox). Taking this drink in advance disperses heat toxins; even if pustules appear, there will be fewer: Use one sheng each of mung beans, adzuki beans, and black soybeans, two liang of licorice nodes, boiled in eight sheng of water until very soft. Eat the beans and drink the juice at will, stop after seven days. Another method: Add yellow soybeans and white soybeans.
For initial carbuncles/toxins after smallpox, treat with Three Bean Paste, miraculous effect: Equal parts mung beans, adzuki beans, and black soybeans, ground into powder. Mix with vinegar and apply frequently; it dissipates immediately. (*Yixue Zhengchuan*)
Preventing toxin entering the eyes: Use seven mung beans, have the child throw them into a well, look at the well frequently seven times, then return.
Pediatric erysipelas swelling: Five qian of mung beans, two qian of rhubarb. Grind into powder. Mix with fresh mint juice and honey, apply topically. (*Quanyou Xinjian*)
Persistent bloody dysentery: Process hemp seeds with water, filter the juice, boil mung beans in it and eat; extremely effective. Eating porridge is also acceptable. (*Bixiao Fang*)
Elderly strangury pain: Two sheng of green beans, two liang of tangerine peel. Boil bean porridge, add one sheng of sesame juice. Eat gradually on an empty stomach, and drink the juice; very effective. (*Yanglao Shu*)
Wasting-thirst drinking: Boil mung beans for juice, make into porridge and eat. (*Puji Fang*)
Heart Qi pain: Twenty-one mung beans, fourteen peppercorns. Grind together, mix with warm water and take; stops immediately.
Frequent hunger: One sheng each of mung beans, yellow wheat, and glutinous rice, roasted and ground into powder. Take one cup mixed with warm water per dose; effective in three to five days.
Ten types of Water Qi (edema): Use two and a half he of mung beans, one large Aconite root (peeled, navel removed, cut into two slices). Three bowls of water, cook until soft. Eat the beans on an empty stomach before bed. The next day, cut the two aconite slices into four, use another two and a half he of mung beans, cook and eat as before. On the third day, cook mung beans and aconite again as before. On the fourth day, cook as on the second day. Water discharges via urine, swelling subsides naturally. If not resolved, repeat. Avoid cold/raw foods, toxic substances, salt, and alcohol for sixty days; no case fails. (*Zhu Shi Jiyan Fang*)
Mung Bean Powder
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, cool/neutral, non-toxic.
Ning Yuan said: The sticky variety should not be eaten in excess by people with weak spleen and stomach.
Wu Rui said: Do not keep near almonds, or it will rot and cannot be made into strips.
[Therapeutic Actions] Clears various heats, tonifies Qi, resolves alcohol and food toxins, treats back carbuncles, ulcers, sores, and scalds/burns (Wu Rui). For wet, rotting smallpox that does not scab, dry powder application is good (Ning Yuan). Mixed with fresh drawn water and taken orally, it treats Huoluan with muscle cramps, resolves fatal drug poison in patients whose heart is still warm (Li Shizhen). Resolves wild mushroom and arsenic poison (Wang Ying).
[Innovation and Discovery] Li Shizhen said: Mung beans are green, belonging to the bean family associated with Wood, connecting to the Jueyin and Yangming meridians. Their nature is slightly neutral. Although their ability to reduce swelling and treat smallpox is similar to adzuki beans, their power to clear heat and detoxify exceeds it. Moreover, they tonify Qi, strengthen the intestines and stomach, and unblock meridians, without the drawback of causing emaciation with long-term use. However, if used to make cold jelly or bean wine, being either too cold or too hot, they can cause illness; this is due to human handling, not the fault of the bean. Authentic bean powder must be green and viscous. In surgery, the Neituo Huxin San (Internal Support Heart-Protecting Powder) for carbuncles and ulcers is praised for its miraculous effect; Zhu Zhenheng has discussed and expanded upon it.
Zhu Zhenheng said: *Waike Jingyao* states that Neituo San, taken ten-plus doses over one to three days, prevents toxic factors from attacking the internal organs. Carefully examining: Mung beans resolve Dan Du and stone toxins, sweet in flavor, enter the Yangming meridian, cold in nature but capable of tonification, serving as the Sovereign herb. Frankincense removes malignant swelling, enters the Shaoyin meridian, is warm in nature and good at penetrating, serving as the Assistant. Licorice is slow-acting, resolves toxins of metals, stones, and hundred drugs, serving as the Envoy. This formula seems specifically designed for those suffering from carbuncles triggered by cinnabar/mineral pills. For the elderly, those with deep disease, complete symptoms, or deficiency, although mung beans are tonifying, there is a risk of failing to bear the burden. Wuxiang Liaoqiao Tang is also not a mandatory agent. One must assist Qi and strengthen the Stomach to solidify the root, use blood-invigorating methods as assistants, consider meridians and seasons to allow toxic factors to emerge externally; this is the true intent of internal support. Early treatment can lead to internal resolution.
[Attached Prescriptions] Twelve new prescriptions.
Huxin San, also known as Neituo San or Ruxiang Wanquan San. For any carbuncle disease, within one to three days, it is advisable to administer more than ten doses continuously to avoid transformation of symptoms and expel toxic factors outward. If taken too late, toxic factors attack internally, leading to vomiting or nasal sores/fungi; if eating stops, it becomes critical. After four or five days, intermittent administration is also suitable: Use one liang of authentic mung bean powder, half a liang of frankincense, and rush pith, ground together evenly. Mix with strong decoction of raw licorice, take one qian, sip frequently. If toxic factors rush to the heart with vomiting/regurgitation, this is highly suitable. Mung beans clear heat, descend Qi, reduce swelling, and detoxify. Frankincense resolves various carbuncle/toxin swellings. Upon taking one liang, the fragrance penetrates the sore pores; truly a holy medicine. (Li Sili, *Waike Fang*)
Sore Qi vomiting: Three qian of mung bean powder, half a qian of dried carmine, ground evenly. Mix with fresh drawn water and take; stops immediately after one dose. (*Puji Fang*)
Huoluan vomiting and diarrhea: Two liang each of mung bean powder and white sugar, mixed with fresh drawn water and taken; heals immediately. (*Shengsheng Bian*)
Resolve roasted liquor toxicity: Eat plenty of mung bean powder sheets/sheets; resolves toxicity.
Resolve poisoned wine toxicity: Three he of mung bean powder. Mix with water and take.
Resolve realgar toxicity: Equal parts mung bean powder and halloysite, mixed with blue root juice, take three to five qian. (*Weisheng Yijian*)
Resolve drug poison death, but heart is still warm: Mix mung bean powder with water and take. (*Weisheng Yijian Fang*)
Blunt trauma injury: Stir-fry mung bean powder in a new pot until purple, mix with fresh well water, apply, bind with fir bark; effect is miraculous. This is a prescription passed down by Chen Mengchuan from Tingzhou. (*Danliao Fang*)
Stick wound pain: Mung bean powder, roasted and ground, mixed with egg white and applied; excellent. (*Shengsheng Bian*)
Scrotal sores: Equal parts mung bean powder and earthworm feces. Grind and apply.
Summer miliaria: Two liang of mung bean powder, one liang of talc. Mix evenly and dust. Add two liang of clam powder as an option. (*Jianyi Fang*)
Initial onset of all swelling/toxins: Use mung bean powder (stir-fried yellow-black), one liang of pig's tooth soap pod, grind into powder, mix with rice vinegar for application. If skin is broken, mix with oil. (Shao Zhenren, *Jingyan Fang*)
Bean Skin
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
[Therapeutic Actions] Resolves heat toxins, eliminates eye nebula/cataracts (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
Tongshen San: Treating eye nebula from smallpox: Equal parts mung bean skin, white chrysanthemum, and spikewood flower, ground into powder. Use one qian per dose, boil with one dried persimmon cake and one bowl of millet wash water until dry. Eat the persimmon, take three times daily. Superficial cases show effect in five to seven days; deep cases in half a month. (*Zhizhi Fang*)
Bean Pod
[Therapeutic Actions] Chronic bloody dysentery not healing for years: Steam and eat at will; good. (Li Shizhen, from *Puji Fang*)
Bean Flower
[Therapeutic Actions] Resolves alcohol toxicity (Li Shizhen).
Bean Sprouts
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
