\r草蒿 角蒿\pj169.bmp\r
\r青蒿 白蒿\pj170.bmp\r
（即青蒿。） 味苦，气寒。无毒。山谷川泽，随处有生。叶实根茎并堪入药，春夏采
用
茎叶为宜。入童便熬膏，退骨蒸劳热。生捣烂绞汁，却心痛热黄。息肉肿痈，烧灰淋浓汤点
；泄痢鬼气，研末调米饮吞。秋冬用之，取根与实。实须炒过，根乃咀成。愈风疹疥瘙，止
虚烦盗汗。开胃明目，辟邪杀虫。白蒿即蓬蒿别名，（似青蒿而叶粗，上有白毛错涩。）
补
功；邪蒿似青蒿细软，利肠胃，通血脉，续不足有功。
牡蒿叶
疮。 蒿比小蓟略殊，
下气破血。茼蒿与黄菊近似，安心养脾。又马先蒿，类茺蔚叶。俗呼虎麻茺蔚，
（谟）按∶谚云∶三月茵陈四月蒿，人每诵之。只疑两药一种，因分老嫩而异名也。殊
不知叶虽近似，种却不同。
草蒿叶背面俱青，且结花实；茵陈叶面青背白，花实全无。况遇寒冬
不凋，至春复旧干上发叶，
因干陈老，故名茵陈。草蒿茎干俱凋，至
三月可采，产新苗者四月才
成。是指采从先后为云，非以苗分老嫩为说也。

青蒿 白蒿
（即青蒿。）味苦，气寒。无毒。在山谷、川泽等地，随处生长。叶、实、根、茎均可入药，春夏季节采收茎叶为宜。用童便熬制成膏，可退除骨蒸劳热。生捣烂后绞取汁液，可治疗心痛、热黄。对于息肉、肿痈，烧成灰后用浓汤淋洗点涂；对于泄痢、鬼气，研成末后用米饮调服吞下。秋冬季节使用，则取用根与果实。果实必须炒过，根则切碎。可治愈风疹、疥瘙，止住虚烦、盗汗。能开胃明目，辟邪杀虫。白蒿是蓬蒿的别名，（形状像青蒿但叶片粗糙，上面有白色的毛且触感涩滞。）具有补益功效；邪蒿形状似青蒿但更细软，对肠胃有利，能通血脉，在续接不足方面有功效。牡蒿叶可治疮疡。蒿类与小蓟略有不同，能下气破血。茼蒿与黄菊近似，能安心养脾。又有马先蒿，叶子类似茺蔚。俗称为虎麻茺蔚。（陈嘉谟）按语：谚语说：“三月茵陈四月蒿”，人们常常诵读这句话。只怀疑这两种药是同一种植物，因为老嫩不同而名字不同。殊不知虽然叶子相似，但种类却不同。草蒿的叶背和叶面都是青色，并且结花实；茵陈的叶面青、叶背白，完全没有花实。况且遇到寒冬不凋谢，到了春天又在旧的干上发叶，因为干陈年老，所以名叫茵陈。草蒿的茎干都凋谢了，到三月可以采摘，长出新的苗要到四月才长成。这是指采摘时间的先后而言，并不是以苗的老嫩来区分说法。
味甘，气寒。无毒。在旷野平原，无处不产。本是盖屋用的草，俗称为过山龙。收采方法要去掉外皮，折断时忌讳接触铁器。味道甘美可以吃，治疗壳症（如结石等）效果很好。能下淋利小便，通闭逐瘀血。清除肠胃中的客热，止住因劳伤引起的吐血、衄血。解渴坚筋，补中益气。苗能破血并消除水肿，花能止血并治疗金疮。又有茅针，一名茅笋，能止鼻出血。肿毒未溃破时服用它，一针就能溃破一个孔。陈久的屋茅，用酒浸泡煎煮浓汁。吐血、衄血发生时，服用也能立即停止。烂茅（老屋上及盖墙上的茅草）。得到酱汁调和研磨，可敷治斑疮、蚕咬疮。收集房屋四角的茅草，治疗鼻出血尤其有效。取茅屋滴溜水饮用，需知道能杀云母石毒。还有种菅（音奸）花，味甘温，无毒。也能止住吐血、衄血，可贴敷灸疮。
Artemisia Annua (Caohao) and Artemisia Scoparia (Jiaohao)
Qinghao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba) and Baihao (White Mugwort)
(Refers to Qinghao.) Bitter in taste, cold in nature. Non-toxic. Grows everywhere in valleys, rivers, and marshes. Leaves, fruits, roots, and stems are all suitable for medicinal use; harvesting stems and leaves in spring and summer is appropriate. Decocted with children's urine into a paste, it clears bone-steaming tidal fever. Crushed fresh and juice extracted, it treats heart pain and heat-induced jaundice. For polyps, swelling, and carbuncles, burn to ash and apply with thick decoction wash; for diarrhea, dysentery, and "ghost qi" (sudden severe illness), grind into powder and swallow mixed with rice water. In autumn and winter, use the roots and fruits. Fruits must be stir-fried; roots should be chewed/cut into pieces. It cures wind-rash and scabies, stops deficiency-related vexation and night sweats. Opens the stomach, brightens the eyes, expels evil, and kills parasites. Baihao is an alias for Penghao (Mugwort), (similar to Qinghao but with coarse leaves covered in white hairs that feel rough/astringent.) It has tonifying effects; Xiehao resembles Qinghao but is finer and softer, benefiting the intestines and stomach, promoting blood circulation, and effective in replenishing deficiencies. Mubai (Mugwort) leaves treat sores. Mugworts differ slightly from Cirsium japonicum (Xiaoji), promoting downward movement of Qi and breaking blood stasis. Tonghao (Chrysanthemum coronarium) is similar to Chrysanthemum indicum (Huangju), calming the mind and nourishing the spleen. There is also Pedicularis (Maxianhao), whose leaves resemble Leonurus japonicus (Chongwei). Commonly called Huma Chongwei. Annotation by Chen Jiamo: The proverb says, "In March Yinchen, in April Hao." People often recite this, suspecting the two herbs are the same plant, differing only in name due to maturity. However, although the leaves appear similar, they are different species. Caohao leaves are green on both sides and bear flowers and fruits; Yinchen leaves are green on top and white underneath, bearing no flowers or fruits. Moreover, Yinchen does not wither in harsh winter, sprouting new leaves on old stems in spring; because the stem is old and aged, it is named Yinchen (Old Stem). Caohao stems and leaves wither, and can be harvested in March; new shoots do not mature until April. This refers to the timing of harvest, not distinguishing by the maturity of the shoots.
Chanzhou Rhizoma Imperatae (Danzhou Maogen) and Dingzhou Rhizoma Imperatae (Dingzhou Maogen)
Sweet in taste, cold in nature. Non-toxic. Produced everywhere in open fields and plains. Originally used for roofing grass, commonly known as Guoshanlong (Mountain-Crossing Dragon). Harvesting method requires removing the skin; breaking is forbidden to avoid contact with iron tools. Sweet and edible, excellent for treating calculi (shell diseases). Promotes urination to relieve strangury, unblocks obstruction, and expels blood stasis. Clears exogenous heat in the intestines and stomach, stops hematemesis and epistaxis caused by labor injury. Relieves thirst, strengthens sinews, tonifies the middle, and benefits Qi. The young shoots break blood stasis and reduce edema; the flowers stop bleeding and treat metal wounds. There is also Maozhen (Mao bamboo shoot), also known as Maosun, which stops nasal hemorrhage. When applied to undrained swellings/toxins, one application causes drainage through one pore. Old roof thatch soaked in wine and boiled into a thick decoction. If hematemesis or epistaxis occurs, ingestion stops it immediately. Rotten thatch (from old roofs or wall coverings). Mixed with soy sauce and ground, it can be applied to treat eruptive rashes and insect bites. Collect thatch from the four corners of the house; particularly effective for treating epistaxis. Drinking water dripping from thatched roofs is known to counteract the toxicity of mica stone. Also, Shengjian flower (Sheng, pronounced 'jian'), sweet and warm, non-toxic. Also stops hematemesis and epistaxis, and can be applied to moxibustion burns.
