【集解】陈藏器说:质汗出产于西番,是用柽乳、松脂、甘草、地黄以及动物热血煎煮熬制而成的。番人用来测试药性,让小孩断掉一只脚,将药放入口中,用那只断脚踩在药上,如果当时能行走的,就是好药。

【释名】李时珍说:这种香能辟除邪气,使诸邪安息,所以叫这个名字。有人说:安息,是一个国名。梵文称之为拙贝罗香。
【集解】苏恭说:安息香出产于西戎。形状像松脂,呈黄黑色,结成块状。
陈藏器说:产于南海波斯国。
陶弘景说:据段成式《酉阳杂俎》记载:安息香树出产于波斯国,被称为辟邪树。高两到三丈,树皮颜色黄黑。叶子有四个角,耐寒不凋谢。二月开黄花,花心微碧色。不结果实。刻破树皮,流出的胶液像饴糖一样,名叫安息香,六七月凝固后采集。燃烧它,能通神明,辟除各种邪恶。
李时珍说:现在安南、三佛齐等地都有出产。《一统志》记载:树像苦楝树,高大且笔直。叶子像羊桃但更长。木心中有油脂制成香。叶廷珪《香录》说:这是树脂,形状颜色像核桃仁。不适合单独焚烧,但能激发其他香的香气,所以人们取来调和香料。现在人们调和香料时有像麦芽糖一样的,叫做安息油。机氏说:有人说燃烧它能聚集老鼠的是真品。
【气味】味辛、苦,性平,无毒。
【主治】心腹恶气,鬼疰(《唐本草》)。邪气魍魉,鬼胎血邪,辟除蛊毒,霍乱风痛,男子遗精,温暖肾气,妇人血噤,以及产后血晕(孟诜)。妇人夜间梦与鬼交合,配合臭黄做成丸药,在丹穴处烧熏,可永远断绝(李珣)。燃烧它,去除鬼气……

(Song Dynasty "Kaibao Bencao")
[Names] Li Shizhen stated: Zhihan (Resin of Cinnamomum micranthum) is pronounced like "Han" and is a term from foreign languages.
[Collection and Explanation] Chen Cangqi stated: Zhihan originates from the Western Regions. It is prepared by decocting Tectona grandis latex, pine resin, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Licorice), Rehmanniae Radix (Rehmannia Root), and hot blood together. Foreigners test its efficacy by severing one foot of a child, placing the medicine in the child's mouth, and stepping on it with the severed foot; if the child can walk immediately, it is considered good medicine.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats traumatic injuries and fractures, internal damage due to blood stasis, tonifies muscles and tendons, eliminates malignant blood, directs rebellious Qi downward, and treats various blood clumping syndromes postpartum in women, abdominal pain with internal cold, and anorexia. It should be dissolved in wine for oral administration or applied externally to the affected area (Chen Cangqi).
[Prescriptions] New Prescription 1.
For amenorrhea in young unmarried women, blood clumping into masses, and attacking pain in the heart and abdomen: Take equal parts of Zhihan, Curcumae Longae Radix (Turmeric), and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Rhubarb, stir-fried), each half liang, grind into powder. Take one qian per dose, washed down with warm water. (From "Shengji Zonglu")
(Tang Dynasty Materia Medica)
[Names] Li Shizhen stated: This incense repels evil and allows all evils to rest, hence the name. Some say: Anxi is the name of a country. In Sanskrit, it is called Zhuobeiluo Xiang.
[Collection and Explanation] Su Gong stated: Anxi Xiang (Styrax Resin) originates from the Western Barbarians. It resembles pine resin, is yellowish-black in color, and forms in lumps.
Chen Cangqi stated: It grows in the Persian Kingdom of the South Sea.
Tao Hongjing stated: According to Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu": The Anxi Xiang tree originates from Persia and is called the "Biexie Tree." It is two to three zhang tall, with yellowish-black bark. The leaves have four corners and do not wither even in cold weather. It blooms yellow flowers in February, with slightly green centers. It does not bear fruit. When the bark is scored, the gum flows out like maltose syrup, named Anxi Xiang. It solidifies in June and July and is then harvested. Burning it connects with the divine spirit and repels various evils.
Li Shizhen stated: Currently, it is produced in Annan, Srivijaya, and other places. "Yitong Zhi" records: The tree resembles Melia azedarach (Chinaberry), large and straight. The leaves resemble those of Actinidia chinensis but are longer. The pith contains resin that forms incense. Ye Tinggui's "Xiang Lu" states: This is a resin, resembling walnut kernels in shape and color. It is not suitable for burning alone but can enhance other fragrances, so people use it to blend incenses. Now, when people blend incenses, there is a substance resembling maltose syrup, called Anxi Oil. Ji stated: Some say that the true product is the one that gathers mice when burned.
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, bitter, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Malignant Qi in the heart and abdomen, Gui Zhu (Ghost Attachment) ("Tang Bencao"). Evil spirits and demons, ghost fetus and blood pathogenic factors, repels gu poison, cholera with wind-pain, seminal emission in men, warms Kidney Qi, blood stagnation leading to fainting in women, and postpartum blood vertigo (Meng Shen). For women having nocturnal dreams of sexual intercourse with ghosts, combine with Chouhuang (Ochre) to make pills, burn and fumigate in the Danyue area to permanently eliminate (Li Xun). Burning it removes ghostly influences...
