大肠虫出不断，断之复生，行坐不得∶鹤虱末，水调半两服，自愈。（《怪疾奇方》）
（音喜 。
【校正】并入《唐本》猪膏莓。
【释名】希仙（《纲目》）、火 草（《唐本》）、猪膏莓（《唐本》）、
虎膏（《唐本》）、狗膏（《唐本》）、粘糊菜（《救荒》）。
呼草之气味辛毒为 。此草气臭如猪而味 螫，故谓之 。猪膏、虎膏、狗膏，皆因其气，
以及治虎、狗伤也。火 当作虎 ，俗音讹尔，近人复讹
为希仙矣。《救荒本草》言∶其嫩苗炸熟，浸去苦味，油盐调食，故俗谓之粘糊菜。
【集解】恭曰∶ ，田野皆识之。一名火 。叶似酸浆而狭长，花黄白色。三月、四
月采苗叶曝干。又曰∶猪膏莓，生平泽下湿地，所在皆有。一名虎膏，一名狗膏。叶似苍耳，
茎圆有毛。
颂曰∶ 处处有之。春生苗，叶似芥叶而狭长，文粗。茎高二、三尺。秋初有花如菊。
秋末结实，颇似鹤虱。夏采叶。曝干用。
藏器曰∶猪膏草，叶似荏有毛。
保升曰∶猪膏叶似苍耳，两枝相对，茎叶俱有毛，黄白色。五月、六月采苗，日干。
时珍曰∶按∶苏恭《唐本草》谓 似酸浆，猪膏莓似苍耳，列为二种。而成纳《进
丸表》，言此药与本草所述相异，多生沃壤，高三尺许，节叶相对
此草金棱银线，素茎紫 ，对节而生，蜀号火
人妄认地菘为火 。有单
人不识，重复出条也。按此数说各异，而今人风痹多用 丸，将何适从耶？时珍尝聚诸草
订视，则猪膏草素茎有直棱，兼有斑点，叶似苍耳而微长，似地菘而稍薄，对节而生，茎叶
皆有细毛。肥壤一株分枝数十。八、九月开小花，深黄色，中有长子如茼蒿子，外萼有细刺
黏人。地菘则青茎，圆而无棱，无斑无毛，叶皱似菘芥，亦不对节。观此则似与成张二氏所
说相合。今河南陈州采 充方物，其状亦是猪膏草，则沈氏谓 即猪膏
矣。苏恭所谓似酸浆者，乃龙葵，非 ，盖误认尔。但沈氏言世间单服火 ，乃是地菘，
不当用猪膏莓，似与成张之说相反。今按 、猪膏莓条，并无治风之说。惟《本经》地菘
条，有去痹除热，久服轻身耐老之语，则治风似当用地菘。然成、张进御之方，必无虚谬之
理。或者二草皆有治风之功乎？而今服猪膏莓之 者，复往往有效。其地菘不见有服之者。
则 之为猪膏，尤不必疑矣。
【气味】苦，寒，有小毒。又曰∶猪膏莓∶辛、苦，平，无毒。
藏器曰∶有小毒。苏恭曰∶猪膏无毒，误矣。
【主治】 ∶治热 烦满不能食。生捣汁三合服，多则令人吐。又曰∶猪膏
莓∶主金疮止痛，断血生肉，除诸恶疮，消浮肿。捣封之，汤渍散敷并良（苏恭）。
主久疟痰阴，捣汁服取吐。捣敷虎伤、狗咬、蜘蛛咬、蚕咬、蠼 溺疮（藏器）。治肝
肾风气，四肢麻痹，骨痛膝弱，风湿诸疮（时珍）。
【发明】颂曰∶蜀人单服 法∶五月五日、六月六日、九月九日，
采叶，去根茎花实，净洗曝干。入甑中，层层洒酒与蜜蒸之，又曝。如此九过，则气
味极香美。熬捣筛末，蜜丸服之。云甚益元气，治肝肾风气，四肢麻痹，骨间疼，腰膝无力
者，亦能行大肠气。诸州所说，皆云性寒有小毒，与唐本同。惟文州及高邮军云∶性热无毒。
服之补益，安五脏，生毛发，兼主风湿疮，肌肉顽痹，妇人久冷尤宜用。须去粗茎，留枝叶
花实蒸曝。两说不同。岂单用叶，则寒而有毒，并枝、花、实，则热而无毒乎？抑土地所产
不同而然欤？
时珍曰∶生捣汁服则令人吐，故云有小毒；九蒸九曝，则补人去痹，故云无毒。生则性
寒，熟则性温，云热者，非也。
慎微曰∶按江陵府节度使成讷《进 丸方表》略云∶臣有弟欣，年三十一
中风伏枕五年，百医不瘥。有道人钟针因睹此患，曰∶可饵 丸必愈。其草多生沃壤
，高三尺许，节叶相对。当夏五月以来收之，每去地五寸剪刈，以温水洗去泥土，摘叶及枝
头。凡九蒸九曝，不必太燥，但以取足为度。仍熬捣为末，炼蜜丸如梧子大，空心温酒或米
饮下二三十丸。服至二千丸，所患忽加，不得忧虑，是药攻之力；服至四千丸，必得复故；
至五千丸，当复丁壮。臣依法修合，令欣服之，果如其言。服后须吃饭三
日采者佳。奉敕宣付医院详录。又知益州张咏《进 丸表》略云∶切以餐石饮水，可作充
肠之馔；饵松含柏，亦成救病之功。是以疗
济时之药，辄陈鄙物之形。不耻管窥，辄干
并药方二件。依方差人访问采觅，其草颇
茎叶颇同苍耳。不费登高
谁知至贱之中，乃有殊常之效。臣自吃至百服，眼目清明；即至千服，髭须乌黑，筋力轻健，
效验多端。臣本州有都押衙罗守一，曾因中风坠马，失音不语。臣与十服，其病立瘥。又和

（音同“喜”。）
【校正】并入《唐本草》中的猪膏莓。
【释名】希仙（《纲目》）、火草（《唐本草》）、猪膏莓（《唐本草》）、虎膏（《唐本草》）、狗膏（《唐本草》）、粘糊菜（《救荒本草》）。
这种草的气味辛毒被称为“”。这种草气味臭如猪，味道辛辣螫人，所以称为“”。猪膏、虎膏、狗膏，都是因其气味而得名，也用于治疗虎、狗咬伤。“火”应当作“虎”，是俗音讹误，近代人又讹传为“希仙”。《救荒本草》说：其嫩苗炸熟后，浸泡去除苦味，加油盐调味食用，所以俗称粘糊菜。
【集解】苏恭曰：“”，田野间人们都认识它。又名火。叶子像酸浆但狭长，花黄白色。三月、四月采集苗叶晒干。又说：猪膏莓，生长在低湿的沼泽平地，各地都有。又名虎膏，又名狗膏。叶子像苍耳，茎圆且有毛。
苏颂曰：“”到处都有。春天生苗，叶子像芥菜叶但狭长，纹理粗糙。茎高二三尺。秋初开花像菊花。秋末结果，很像鹤虱。夏天采集叶子，晒干使用。
陈藏器曰：猪膏草，叶子像荏（紫苏类）且有毛。
寇宗奭曰：猪膏叶像苍耳，两枝相对，茎叶都有毛，呈黄白色。五月、六月采集苗，晒干。
李时珍曰：按：苏恭在《唐本草》中说“”像酸浆，猪膏莓像苍耳，列为两种。而成讷在《进丸表》中说，此药与本草所述不同，多生长在肥沃土壤，高三尺左右，节和叶相对生长……这草金棱银线，素茎紫节，对节而生，蜀地号称火……有人误认地菘为火。有单人……人不识，重复出条。按这些说法各异，而今人治疗风痹多用“”丸，该听从哪种呢？李时珍曾聚集各种草进行对比观察，发现猪膏草茎干素白有直棱，兼有斑点，叶子像苍耳而稍长，像地菘而稍薄，对节而生，茎叶都有细毛。肥沃土壤中一株分枝数十。八、九月开小花，深黄色，中间有长子像茼蒿子，外萼有细刺黏人。地菘则是青茎，圆而无棱，无斑无毛，叶皱像菘芥，也不对节。观察这些特征，似乎与成讷、张咏二氏所说相符合。现在河南陈州采集“”充作贡品，其形状也是猪膏草，那么沈氏说“”就是猪膏莓了。苏恭所说的像酸浆的，乃是龙葵，不是“”，大概是误认罢了。但是沈氏说世间单服火“”，乃是地菘，不应当用猪膏莓，似乎与成讷、张咏的说法相反。现在考察，“”、猪膏莓条目中，并没有治疗风病的记载。只有《本经》地菘条目中，有去痹除热，久服轻身耐老的话，那么治疗风病似乎应当用地菘。然而成讷、张咏进献御用的方子，必定没有虚谬的道理。或许这两种草都有治风的功效吗？而现在服用猪膏莓的“”者，往往有效。那地菘没见有人服用。那么“”作为猪膏，更不必怀疑了。
【气味】味苦，性寒，有小毒。又说：猪膏莓：味辛、苦，性平，无毒。
陈藏器曰：有小毒。苏恭曰：猪膏无毒，这是错误的。
【主治】“”：治疗热烦满不能进食。生捣汁三合服用，多了会让人呕吐。又说：猪膏莓：主治金疮止痛，止血生肉，消除各种恶疮，消肿。捣烂敷贴，或用汤渍散敷均好（苏恭）。主治久疟痰阴，捣汁服用催吐。捣烂敷贴治疗虎伤、狗咬、蜘蛛咬、蚕咬、蠼 溺疮（陈藏器）。治疗肝肾风气，四肢麻痹，骨痛膝弱，风湿各种疮疡（李时珍）。
【发明】苏颂曰：蜀人单服“”法：五月五日、六月六日、九月九日，采集叶子，去掉根茎花实，洗净晒干。放入甑中，层层洒酒与蜜蒸制，再晒干。如此经过九次，则气味极香美。熬制捣碎筛末，用蜂蜜制成丸药服用。说非常有益元气，治疗肝肾风气，四肢麻痹，骨间疼痛，腰膝无力者，也能行大肠气。各州所说，都说性寒有小毒，与唐本草相同。只有文州及高邮军说：性热无毒。服用可补益，安五脏，生毛发，兼主风湿疮，肌肉顽痹，妇人久冷尤其适宜使用。必须去掉粗茎，保留枝叶花实蒸晒。两种说法不同。难道单用叶，则寒而有毒，连同枝、花、实，则热而无毒吗？还是因为土地所产不同所致呢？
李时珍曰：生捣汁服用会让人呕吐，所以说有小毒；九蒸九晒，则补人去痹，所以说无毒。生则性寒，熟则性温，说性热是不对的。
慎微曰：按江陵府节度使成讷《进 丸方表》大致说：臣有个弟弟叫欣，三十一岁，中风卧床五年，百医不愈。有道人名钟针看到此病，说：可服用 丸必愈。这种草多生长在肥沃土壤，高三尺左右，节和叶相对。从夏五月以来采收，每离地五寸剪刈，用温水洗去泥土，摘取叶子及枝头。凡九蒸九晒，不必太干，只要取足量即可。仍熬制捣为末，炼蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸药，空腹时用温酒或米饮送服二三十丸。服用至两千丸，病情忽加重，不要忧虑，这是药力攻邪的表现；服用至四千丸，必定恢复旧观；至五千丸，应当恢复壮健。臣依法修合，让欣服用，果然如其所言。服用后须吃饭三日采者佳。奉敕宣付医院详细记录。又知益州张咏《进 丸表》大致说：切以餐石饮水，可作为充肠之食；饵松含柏，也成为救病之功。是以疗济时之药，辄陈鄙物之形。不耻管窥，辄干并药方二件。依方差人访问采觅，其草颇……茎叶颇同苍耳。不费登高……谁知至贱之中，乃有殊常之效。臣自吃至百服，眼目清明；即至千服，髭须乌黑，筋力轻健，效验多端。臣本州有都押衙罗守一，曾因中风坠马，失音不语。臣给予十服，其病立刻痊愈。又和尚智严，七十岁，忽然患偏风，口眼歪斜，时时吐涎。臣给予十服，也便痊愈。今合职员史元奏进。

(From *Tang Bencao*)
[Odor and Flavor] Bitter, neutral in nature, slightly toxic.
Su Song stated: Cool in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) and Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm). Made into a powder, taken with fat meat juice, one cun bi (a measure of volume), can also be used in pills or powders (*Tang Bencao*). Treats worm-induced heart pain. Mix half a cun bi with light vinegar and take; recovery is immediate.
[Elucidation] Su Song stated: *Heshi* (Nanostegia seeds) is the most crucial herb in anti-parasitic formulas. *Gujin Luyan Fang*: For treating heart pain caused by roundworm biting, take ten liang of *Heshi*. Pound and sieve, make pills the size of wutong seeds with honey. Swallow forty to fifty pills on an empty stomach with honey water. Avoid alcohol and meat. Wei Yun suffered from heart pain for ten years without cure; seeing this formula among miscellaneous prescriptions, he compounded and took it, and was immediately cured. Li Shizhen notes: Take with plum juice. For a five-year-old child, take two fen per dose; stop when worms are expelled.
[Attached Formulas] One new formula.
Intestinal parasites that do not cease, regrow after being cut off, making walking and sitting difficult: Powdered *Heshi*, mixed with water, take half a liang; will heal naturally. (*Guaiji Qifang*)
(Pronounced "xi".)
[Correction] Merged into *Zhigaomei* in *Tang Bencao*.
[Names] Xixian (*Bencao Gangmu*), Huocao (*Tang Bencao*), Zhigaomei (*Tang Bencao*), Hugao (*Tang Bencao*), Gougao (*Tang Bencao*), Nianhucail (*Jiu Huang Bencao*).
This herb has a pungent and toxic odor/flavor, referred to as "". This herb smells like pork and tastes pungent/stinging, hence called "". Zhigao, Hugao, Gougao are named after their odor, and also for treating tiger and dog bites. "Huocao" should be "Hugao", a folk pronunciation error; later people erroneously changed it to "Xixian". *Jiu Huang Bencao* states: Its tender shoots are blanched, soaked to remove bitterness, and eaten with oil and salt, hence the common name Nianhucail.
[Collection and Explanation] Su Gong stated: "", known in fields. Also called Huo. Leaves resemble *Physalis alkekengi* but are narrower and longer; flowers are yellowish-white. Collect shoots and leaves in March and April, dry in sun. Also said: *Zhigaomei* grows in low, wet marshy areas, found everywhere. Also called Hugao, also called Gougao. Leaves resemble *Xanthium strumarium* (Cocklebur); stem is round and hairy.
Su Song stated: "" is ubiquitous. Shoots emerge in spring; leaves resemble mustard leaves but are narrow and long, with coarse veins. Stem is two to three chi high. Flowers appear in early autumn like chrysanthemum. Fruits form in late autumn, resembling *Heshi*. Collect leaves in summer, dry for use.
Chen Zangqi stated: *Zhigaocao*, leaves resemble Perilla and are hairy.
Kou Zongshi stated: *Zhigao* leaves resemble Cocklebur, branches opposite each other, stems and leaves hairy, yellowish-white. Collect shoots in May and June, dry in sun.
Li Shizhen stated: According to Su Gong's *Tang Bencao*, "" resembles *Physalis alkekengi*, while *Zhigaomei* resembles Cocklebur, listed as two species. However, Cheng Na in his "Memorial on Submitting Pills" stated this herb differs from the Compendium descriptions, growing mostly in fertile soil, about three chi high, with nodes and leaves opposite. ... This herb has golden edges and silver lines, white stems with purple nodes, growing oppositely at nodes, called Huo in Shu... Some mistakenly identify *Di Song* as Huo. ... People do not recognize it, leading to duplicate entries. These accounts vary; now people often use "" pills for wind-bi. Which should be followed? Li Shizhen gathered various herbs for comparison and observed that *Zhigao* has white stems with straight ridges and spots, leaves resemble Cocklebur but slightly longer, resemble *Di Song* but thinner, grow oppositely at nodes, stems and leaves have fine hairs. In fertile soil, one plant branches dozens of times. Small deep-yellow flowers bloom in August and September, with inner seeds resembling *Chrysanthemum coronarium* seeds, outer calyx has fine sticky spines. *Di Song* has green stems, round without ridges, no spots or hairs, leaves wrinkled like cabbage/mustard, not opposite. Observing these features, they seem consistent with Cheng Na and Zhang Yong's descriptions. Now, Chenzhou in Henan collects "" as tribute, its shape being *Zhigao*; thus Shen's claim that "" is *Zhigaomei* holds. Su Gong's description of resembling *Physalis alkekengi* refers to *Solanum nigrum* (Longkui), not "", likely a misidentification. But Shen stated that single-use "Huocao" in the world is actually *Di Song*, not *Zhigaomei*, seemingly contradicting Cheng and Zhang. Examining the entries for "" and *Zhigaomei*, there is no mention of treating wind diseases. Only the *Shennong Benjing* entry for *Di Song* mentions dispelling bi and heat, keeping body light and aging slowly with long-term use; thus treating wind disease seems to favor *Di Song*. However, the imperial formulas submitted by Cheng and Zhang must not be false. Perhaps both herbs treat wind? Currently, those taking "" (*Zhigaomei*) often show efficacy. *Di Song* is rarely seen in use. Thus, identifying "" as *Zhigao* needs no doubt.
[Odor and Flavor] Bitter, cold in nature, slightly toxic. Also said: *Zhigaomei*: Pungent, bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
Chen Zangqi stated: Slightly toxic. Su Gong stated: *Zhigao* is non-toxic; this is incorrect.
[Indications] "": Treats heat-induced irritability, fullness, and inability to eat. Crush fresh and take three he of juice; excessive amounts cause vomiting. Also said: *Zhigaomei*: Mainly treats traumatic injuries, stops pain, halts bleeding, promotes flesh regeneration, eliminates various malignant sores, reduces swelling. Crush and apply topically; decoction soak or powder application is also good (Su Gong). Mainly treats chronic malaria with phlegm-dampness; crush and take juice to induce vomiting. Crush and apply topically for tiger bites, dog bites, spider bites, silkworm bites, and urethral discharge sores (Chen Zangqi). Treats wind-dampness in liver and kidney, limb numbness/paralysis, bone pain, weak knees, and various rheumatic sores (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Su Song stated: Shu people's method for single-use of "": Collect leaves on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, 6th day of the 6th lunar month, and 9th day of the 9th lunar month. Remove roots, stems, flowers, and fruits, wash clean, and dry. Place in a steamer, sprinkle wine and honey layer by layer, steam, then dry. Repeat nine times until the odor and flavor are extremely fragrant. Cook, pound, sieve into powder, make pills with honey. It greatly benefits primordial qi, treats wind-dampness in liver/kidney, limb paralysis, interosseous pain, weakness in waist and knees, and can move large intestine qi. All provinces state it is cold and slightly toxic, consistent with *Tang Bencao*. Only Wenzhou and Gaoyou Jun state it is hot and non-toxic. Taking it tonifies, calms the five zang organs, promotes hair growth, treats rheumatic sores, muscle stiffness/numbness, especially suitable for women with chronic cold. Must remove coarse stems, keep leaves, flowers, and fruits for steaming/drying. The two theories differ. Does using only leaves make it cold and toxic, while including stems, flowers, and fruits makes it hot and non-toxic? Or is it due to different geographical origins?
Li Shizhen stated: Crushing fresh and taking juice causes vomiting, hence "slightly toxic"; nine steams and nine dries make it tonifying and dispelling bi, hence "non-toxic". Raw is cold; cooked is warm. Claiming it is hot is incorrect.
Shen Wei stated: According to Cheng Na, Military Commissioner of Jiangling Prefecture, in his "Memorial on Submitting Pill Formula": My younger brother Xin, aged 31, suffered from stroke and bedridden for five years, unresponsive to hundreds of doctors. A Daoist named Zhong Zhen saw this affliction and said: Taking "" pills will surely cure him. This herb grows mostly in fertile soil, about three chi high, with nodes and leaves opposite. Harvest since early summer May, cut five cun above ground, wash mud with warm water, pick leaves and branch tips. Nine steams and nine dries, not too dry, just sufficient quantity. Cook, pound to powder, refine honey into wutong-sized pills. Take twenty to thirty pills on an empty stomach with warm wine or rice drink. After taking two thousand pills, symptoms may suddenly worsen; do not worry, this is the medicine attacking the pathogen; after four thousand pills, you will return to normal; after five thousand pills, you will regain vigor. I complied, gave it to Xin, and it worked as stated. After taking, must eat rice for three days; harvesters are best. Edict sent to Imperial Hospital for detailed record. Also, Zhang Yong, Prefect of Yizhou, in his "Memorial on Submitting Pill Formula": Eating stones and drinking water can fill the stomach; consuming pine and cypress can also save lives. Thus, for medicines aiding the times, I present my humble object's form. Not ashamed of limited view, I dare to submit two medicinal formulas. Dispatched men to inquire and gather; the herb somewhat... stems and leaves resemble Cocklebur. No need to climb high... Who knew that among the most base lies extraordinary efficacy. I took up to a hundred doses, eyes became clear; up to a thousand doses, beard and hair turned black, sinews and strength became light and vigorous, many efficacies. Luo Shouyi, Chief Marshal of my prefecture, once fell from horse due to stroke, lost voice and speech. I gave him ten doses, illness immediately healed. Monk Zhiyan, aged 70, suddenly suffered hemiplegia, mouth and eye deviated, constantly salivating. I gave him ten doses, also recovered. Now submitting via clerk Shi Yuan.
[Attached Formulas] Five new ones.
Wind-cold diarrhea: Huo [herb] pills: Treats wind qi moving in intestines/stomach causing diarrhea. Powder the herb, make pills with vinegar paste, wutong seed size. Take thirty pills, down with plain water. (*Shengji Zonglu*) Carbuncles, ulcers, swelling, toxins, all malignant sores. Herb (harvested on Dragon Boat Festival) one liang, Frankincense one liang, Alum (calcined) half a liang. Powder. Take two qian, mix with hot wine. For severe toxins, take three doses consecutively; sweating is excellent. (*Qiankun Miyun*)

[Appendix] Leibi *Bielu* lists as "Name exists, unused": Sour, warm, non-toxic. Mainly treats flaccidity and bi. Grows in high land fields. Leaves resemble *Patrinia scabiosafolia* (Tianmingjing). Beautiful roots, harvest in May.
Li Shizhen stated: This resembles *Zhigao*. Ancient and modern names may differ, so appended here.
Yangshichai
Li Shizhen stated: According to *Qiankun Shengyi*: Also called Niushichai, grows in mountains/wilds. Leaves resemble *Heshi*, four... Carbuncles/back sores, crush and apply. Use roots in winter. Can poison fish.
