【释名】螺蛳。
李时珍说:师,意为众多。它的形状像蜗牛,种类很多,所以有两个名字。壳腐烂的称为鬼眼睛。
【集解】《名医别录》说:蜗螺生长在江夏地区的溪水中。比田螺小,壳上有棱纹。
李时珍说:各地湖泊溪流中都有,江夏、汉水沔水一带尤其多。大小如手指,但壳比田螺厚,只吃泥水。春季,人们采集后放入锅中蒸熟,肉会自动出来,用酒烹煮或糟煮食用。清明之后,其中会有寄生虫,就不能使用了。
陈藏器说:这种生物很难死,如果误入墙壁缝隙中,几年后仍然活着。
【肉】

(From *Bie Lu* [Separate Records])
[Names] Snail (Luosi).
Li Shizhen said: "Shi" means numerous. Its shape resembles a snail, and there are many varieties, hence the two names. Those with rotten shells are called "Ghost Eyes".
[Collection of Explanations] *Bie Lu* states: "Wo Luo grows in the streams of Jiangxia. It is smaller than field snails and has ridges on its shell."
Li Shizhen said: "They are found in lakes and streams everywhere, especially abundant in Jiangxia and the Han-Mian regions. They are about the size of a finger, but their shells are thicker than those of field snails, feeding only on mud and water. In spring, people collect them, steam them in pots, and the meat comes out naturally; they are cooked with wine or fermented grain for consumption. After Qingming Festival, parasites may appear inside, making them unusable."
Chen Zangqi said: "This creature is hard to kill; if it accidentally enters a crack in a wall, it can survive for several years."
[Meat]
[Taste and Nature] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats jaundice, brightens the eyes, promotes urination and defecation (*Bie Lu*). Relieves thirst (Chen Zangqi). Resolves alcohol intoxication, clears heat, promotes urination and defecation, resolves jaundice and edema, treats regurgitation, dysentery, rectal prolapse, and hemorrhoidal fistula (Li Shizhen. He also stated: The characters 'huang dan' [jaundice] are suspected to be erroneous).
[Attached Prescriptions] Six new prescriptions.
Jaundice due to alcohol intake: Raise small snails in clean water to remove mud, boil and eat daily, drinking the broth; effective. (*Yong Lei Qian Fang*)
Jaundice with hematemesis: After illness, the body and face turn yellow, vomiting blood by the basin, unresponsive to various medicines. Take ten snails, wash with water to remove mud, pound into paste, expose overnight, and take the clear liquid at dawn.
Five types of strangury and white turbidity: One bowl of snails, stir-fried hot with shell, add three bowls of white wine, boil down to one bowl. Pick out the meat and eat. Take with this wine; effective after several times. (*Fu Shou Jing Fang*)
Pediatric rectal prolapse: Place two or three sheng of snails in a bucket, let the patient sit on it; heals shortly. (*Jian Bian Dan Fang*)
Disease rashes with corneal opacity: Boil snails in water, frequent consumption is good. (*Ji Ji Xian Fang*)
White wandering wind swelling: Snail meat, add a little salt, pound into paste and apply; miraculous effect. (Ye Shi's *Zhai Xuan Fang*)
[Rotten Shell]
Li Shizhen said: Those from mud or old walls are superior. Calcine over fire before use.
[Taste and Nature] Same as meat.
[Indications] Treats phlegm-fluid retention and epigastric pain (Zhen Heng). Treats regurgitation, chest oppression, phlegmatic cough, nasal sinusitis, rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, sores and boils, chancres, and scalds/burns.
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen said: Snails belong to the bivalve family. Their shells generally have similar efficacy to clam powder, cockle shell powder, ark shells, and clams. Viewing them together allows for divine comprehension.
[Attached Prescriptions] Ten new prescriptions.
Sudden cough: White snails (or white clams) from the roof, pounded into powder. Take with wine, one fang cun bi. (*Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*)
Wet-phlegm heart pain: Clean white snail shells, calcine until carbonized, grind into powder. Take with wine, one fang cun bi; pain stops immediately. (*Zheng Chuan*)
Chest oppression pain: Bai Yu San: Calcine old white snail shells from walls, grind. Take one qian each time, with wine.
Pediatric soft sores: Use Ghost Eyes (white snail shells from walls), calcine to ash, mix equally with Dao Gua Chen, apply mixed with oil. (*Shou Yu Shen Fang*)
Sores on glans penis: Use snails from streams and ports that have been there for years, calcine to ash, apply. (*Qi Xiao Liang Fang*)
Scalds and burns: Grind dry white snail shells from many years ago, mix with oil and apply. (*Dan Liao Fang*)
Syphilitic ulcers: Ancient wall snail shells and Cinnabar in equal parts, plus a little Borneolum Syntheticum, grind into powder and apply.
Pediatric asthma: Powder old snails from south-facing walls. At dusk, mix with water to form a paste. At sunset, raise hands, join palms, devote oneself, and swallow; effective. (Ye Shi's *Zhai Xuan Fang*)
Scrofula already ruptured: White snail shells from earthen walls, grind into powder, apply daily. (Tan Ye Weng's prescription)
Chickenpox not healing: White snail shells from walls, wash clean, grind, and sprinkle. (*Yi Fang Miao Yao*)
