（出自宋代《嘉祐本草》）
【释名】鹁鸽（出自《食疗本草》）、飞奴。李时珍说：鸽子性情淫乱且容易交配，所以得名“鸽”。“鹁”是指它的叫声。张九龄曾用鸽子传递书信，称它为“飞奴”。《梵书》中也有记载。
【集解】苏颂说：鸽子的毛色在鸟类中品种最多，只有白鸽入药使用。一般的鸟都是雄性骑乘雌性，唯独鸽子是雌性骑乘雄性，所以它的性情最淫乱。李时珍说：到处人家都饲养它，也有野生的鸽子。名称品种虽然多，但大体上羽毛颜色不过青色、白色、黑色、绿色、喜鹊斑纹等几种。
白鸽肉
【主治】解除各种药物中毒，以及人和马匹长期患有的疥疮，食用后立刻痊愈（出自《嘉祐本草》）。补精益气，治疗恶疮、疥癣、风疹瘙痒、白癜风、大风疠疡，炒熟后用酒送服。虽然对人有益，但吃多了恐怕会减弱药效（孟诜）。
【附方】旧方一个，新方一个。消渴症饮水不知满足：用一只白花鸽，切成小片，用土苏煎煮，含在口中慢慢咽下。（出自《心镜》）预先化解痘毒：每到除夕之夜，用白鸽煮熟或烤熟喂给孩子，并用鸽毛煎汤给孩子洗澡，这样出痘就会稀少。
鸽血
【主治】解除各种药物、百种蛊毒（李时珍。出自《事林广记》）。
鸽卵
【附方】新方一个。预先化解痘毒：小儿食用后，永远不出痘，或者即使出痘也很稀少。取一对白鸽卵，放入竹筒中密封，放置在厕所中，半个月后取出，用蛋白和三钱辰砂调和，制成绿豆大小的丸药。每次服用三十丸，用三豆饮送服，毒素会从大小便排出。（出自《潜江方》）
鸽屎名为左盘龙。李时珍说：野生的鸽子粪便尤其好。它们的粪便都是向左盘旋的，所以《宣明方论》称之为“左盘龙”。
【气味】辛味，温性，微毒。
【主治】治疗人和马的疥疮，炒研后外敷。对于驴和马，混合草料喂食（出自《嘉祐本草》）。消除肿胀及腹中的痞块（汪颖）。
【附方】旧方四个，新方六个。带下排脓：苏颂说：取野鸽粪一两（炒至微焦），白术、麝香各一分，赤芍药、青木香各半两，延胡索（炒至红色）一两，柴胡三分，研成粉末。空腹时用无灰酒调服一钱。等到脓液排尽就停药，之后服用补益子宫的药物。破伤中风，病邪传入体内：用左蟠龙（即野鸽粪）、江鳔、白僵蚕各半钱（炒），雄黄一钱，研成粉末。阴症腹痛，面色发青严重的：取一大勺鸽子粪炒研成末，用极热的一钟酒调和均匀澄清，一次性服下，立刻痊愈。（出自刘氏医案）蛊毒腹痛：将白鸽屎烧成炭研末，用水调和服用。（出自《外台秘要》）冷气心痛：将鸽屎烧至存性，用酒送服一钱，疼痛立即停止。颈部瘰疬：左盘龙，炒研成末，用陈米饭调和，制成梧桐子大小的丸药。每次服用三五十丸，用陈米汤送下。（出自张子和方）头部瘙痒生疮：取白鸽屎五合，用醋煮开三次，捣碎后敷患处，每天三次。（出自《圣惠方》）头疮白秃：将鸽屎研末外敷，先用醋和米泔水洗净。也可以烧成炭研末撒在患处。（同上）反花疮毒：初生时恶肉如米粒大小，破溃后出血，肉随即生长，反向外翻出。用鹁鸽屎三两，炒黄研末。先用温水浆清洗，然后敷上。（出自《圣惠方》）鹅掌风：用鸽屎白、雄鸡屎，炒研后煎水，每天洗涤。
(Sourced from the Song Dynasty's *Jiayou Bencao*)
**[Names]** Bobo (from *Shiliao*, Food Therapy), Feinu (Flying Slave). Li Shizhen stated: The pigeon has a lustful nature and mates easily, hence the name. "Bobo" refers to its sound. Zhang Jiuling used pigeons to transmit letters, calling them "Feinu." It is also recorded in Buddhist scriptures (*Fan Shu*).
**[Collection and Explanation]** Su Song stated: Among birds, pigeons have the most varieties of feather colors, but only white pigeon meat is used for medicine. Generally, male birds mount females, but uniquely, female pigeons mount males, which is why their nature is considered most lustful. Li Shizhen stated: They are raised by households everywhere, and there are also wild pigeons. Although there are many names and varieties, the feather colors generally do not exceed green, white, black, dark green, and magpie-patterned types.
**White Pigeon Meat**
**[Flavor and Nature]** Salty, neutral, non-toxic. Meng Xian stated: Warm in nature.
**[Indications]** Resolves poisoning from various herbs, as well as chronic scabies in humans and horses; eating it leads to immediate cure (*Jiayou Bencao*). Nourishes essence and boosts qi; treats malignant sores, scabies, tinea, wind-induced pruritus, vitiligo, and leprosy-like conditions. Cook thoroughly and take with wine. Although beneficial to humans, excessive consumption may reduce medicinal efficacy (Meng Xian).
**[Attached Prescriptions]** One old prescription, one new prescription. For xiao-ke (wasting-thirst) syndrome where drinking water does not satisfy thirst: Use one white-flowered pigeon, cut into small pieces, decoct with Tusu (Earth Sulfur), hold in the mouth, and swallow slowly (*Xin Jing*). To preemptively resolve doudou (smallpox) toxin: On New Year's Eve, boil or roast a white pigeon to feed the child, and bathe the child with a decoction made from pigeon feathers, so that the eruption will be sparse.
**Pigeon Blood**
**[Indications]** Resolves poisoning from various herbs and hundred types of gu poison (Li Shizhen. From *Shilin Guangji*).
**Pigeon Eggs**
**[Indications]** Resolves sore toxins and smallpox toxins (Li Shizhen).
**[Attached Prescriptions]** One new prescription. To preemptively resolve smallpox toxin: If children eat this, they will never develop smallpox, or if they do, it will be sparse. Take a pair of white pigeon eggs, seal them in a bamboo tube, place them in a latrine for half a month, then take them out. Mix the egg white with three qian of Chen Sha (Cinnabar), and make pills the size of mung beans. Take thirty pills each time, washed down with Sandou Yin (Three Bean Decoction); the toxin will exit through urination and defecation (*Qianjiang Fang*).
**Pigeon Droppings**, named Zuo Panlong (Left-Coiling Dragon). Li Shizhen stated: Wild pigeon droppings are superior. Their droppings always coil to the left, hence called "Zuo Panlong" in *Xuanming Fanglun*.
**[Flavor and Nature]** Pungent, warm, slightly toxic.
**[Indications]** Treats scabies in humans and horses; apply externally after roasting and grinding. For donkeys and horses, mix with fodder and feed (*Jiayou Bencao*). Reduces swelling and abdominal masses (Wang Ying).
**[Attached Prescriptions]** Four old prescriptions, six new prescriptions. For leukorrhea with pus discharge: Su Song stated: Take one liang of wild pigeon droppings (roasted until slightly charred), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and Shexiang (Musk) each 1 fen; Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) and Qingmuxiang (Tasmanniæ Fructus) each 0.5 liang; Yanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizoma, roasted red) 1 liang; Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) 3 fen. Grind into powder. Take 1 qian mixed with unadulterated wine on an empty stomach. Stop when pus is exhausted, then administer medicines to tonify the uterus. For traumatic wind-stroke where pathogenic factors have penetrated inward: Use Zuo Panlong (wild pigeon droppings), Jiangtiao (Hydrophilus Carapax), and Baijiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus) each 0.5 qian (roasted), and Xionghuang (Realgar) 1 qian. Grind into powder. For yin-pattern abdominal pain with severe cyanosis of the face: Take a large spoonful of pigeon droppings, roast and grind into powder. Mix with a zhong (measure) of extremely hot wine, clarify, and take in one dose; cure immediately (Liu Shi). For gu-poison abdominal pain: Roast white pigeon droppings to charcoal, grind, and take mixed with water (*Waitai Mi Yao*). For cold qi heart pain: Roast pigeon droppings to preserve their nature, take 1 qian with wine; pain stops immediately. For cervical luoli (scrofula): Zuo Panlong, roast and grind into powder, mix with aged rice paste to make pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 30–50 pills each time, washed down with aged rice infusion (Zhang Zihe's Formula). For scalp pruritus with sores: Take five he of white pigeon droppings, boil three times in vinegar, pound, and apply topically, three times daily (*Shenghui Fang*). For scalp tinea capitis (white baldness): Apply pigeon droppings ground into powder. First wash with vinegar and rice water. Alternatively, roast to charcoal, grind, and sprinkle (Ibid.). For fanhua chuang (reverse-flow ulcer): Initially, malignant flesh grows like millet grains; upon breaking, blood flows, and flesh regenerates outward. Use three liang of bobo pigeon droppings, roast until yellow and grind into powder. First wash with warm starch water, then apply (*Shenghui Fang*). For e-zhang-feng (鹅掌风, a type of tinea manuum): Use pigeon droppings white part and male chicken droppings, roast and grind, decoct in water, and wash daily.
