去胃中寒痰吐水,食已即吐,甚验。过剂则走气。大肠寒滑亦用,须各以他药佐之。
栎木子也,叶如栗叶,在处有,但坚而不堪充材,亦木之性也。山中以舂仁为粮,然
涩肠。木善为炭,他木皆不及。其壳堪染皂,若曾经雨水者,其色淡,不若不经雨水者。槲
亦有壳,但少而不及栎木所实者。
今人合他药染髭。
亦有斗,但不及栎木,虽坚而不堪充材。叶微炙,炒槐花减槲叶之半,同为末,米饮
调服,治初得肠风及血痔,热多者尤佳。亦堪为炭,但不及栎木。
亦治马心肺热有功。
今释子取以为念珠,出佛经。惟取紫红色小者佳,今入药绝少,西洛亦有之。
椰子开之,有汁如乳,极甘香,自别是一种气味。中又有一块瓤,形如瓜蒌,上有细
起,亦白色,但微虚。纹若妇人裙褶,其味亦如其汁。又,着壳一重白肉,剐取之,皆可
与瓤糖煎为果汁,色如白酒,其味如瓤。然谓之酒者,好事者当日强名之。取其壳为酒器,
如酒中有毒,则酒沸起。今人皆漆其里,则全失用椰子之意。
烧为黑灰,合他药治肺风毒。及取皮上有紫黑花匀者,裹鞍弓、镫。
今谓之三春柳,以其一年三秀也。花肉红色,成细穗。河西者,戎人取滑枝为鞭。
京师亦甚多。
蔓生,岁一枯。叶如蒲桃,实如大栝楼,熟则红黄色,微有刺,不能刺人。今荆南
之南皆有之。九月十月熟,实中之子曰木鳖子。但根不死,春旋生苗,其子一头尖者为雄。
凡植时须雌雄相合,麻缕缠定。及其生也,则去其雄者方结实。
(木鳖子)能去除胃中的寒痰并止住呕吐清水,对于进食后立即呕吐的症状,效果非常显著。但用量过大则会耗散人体正气。大肠因寒而滑泄者也可使用,但必须配合其他药物共同使用。
(木鳖子)来源于栎树,叶子像栗树的叶子,各地都有生长,但木质坚硬却不堪用作建筑材料,这也是树木的习性。山中居民将它的种子舂碎作为粮食,但这会收敛肠道导致便秘。栎树善于烧制木炭,其他树木都不如它。栎树的壳可以用来染黑色,如果曾经被雨水淋过,颜色就会变淡,不如没有被雨水淋过的效果好。槲树也有壳,但数量少且不如栎树结出的果实多。
现在的人将它与其他药物混合用来染胡须。
(槲树)也有斗(指树瘤或特定部位),但不如栎树的好,虽然坚硬却不堪用作建筑材料。将槲叶稍微炙烤后,与炒槐花按一半的比例混合,一起研成粉末,用米汤调服,可以治疗刚得的肠风和血痔,热象明显的患者效果更佳。槲叶也可以烧成炭,但不如栎树炭好。
现在的僧侣取它来做念珠,出自佛经。只选取紫红色的小颗粒为佳,现在入药使用的极少,西洛地区也有出产。
椰子打开后,里面有像乳汁一样的汁液,极其甘甜芳香,自有一种独特的气味。中间有一块瓤,形状像瓜蒌,上面有细微的突起,也是白色的,只是略微空虚。纹理像妇女裙子的褶皱,味道也像里面的汁液。另外,还有一层附着在壳上的白色果肉,刮取下来,都可以和糖一起煎煮成果汁,颜色像白酒,味道像瓤。然而称之为“酒”,是好事的人在当时强行命名的。人们利用它的壳做酒器,如果酒中有毒,酒就会沸腾起来。现在的人都在壳内涂上漆,这样就完全失去了使用椰壳的原意。
(木鳖子)烧成黑灰后,配合其他药物治疗肺风毒。以及选取树皮上有均匀紫黑色花纹的,用来包裹马鞍弓、脚镫。
现在称之为三春柳,因为它一年三次开花结果。花肉呈红色,长成细穗状。河西地区的,戎人取其光滑的枝条做鞭子。京城里也非常多。
(木鳖子)藤蔓生长,每年枯萎一次。叶子像葡萄叶,果实像大的瓜蒌,成熟时呈红黄色,带有微刺,但不能刺伤人。现在荆南以南地区都有生长。九月十月成熟,果实中的种子叫做木鳖子。只要根不死,春天就会重新发芽,其中一头尖的种子为雄种。凡是种植时必须雌雄搭配,用麻线缠紧固定。等到生长时,则去掉雄株才结出果实。
(Trichosanthes kirilowii seed / Momordica cochinchinensis seed) can eliminate cold phlegm in the stomach and stop vomiting of clear fluids; it is highly effective for immediate vomiting after eating. However, excessive dosage will disperse Qi (vital energy). It is also used for cold-induced sliding diarrhea of the Large Intestine, but must be combined with other herbs as adjuvants.
It originates from the Quercus tree (Oak), with leaves resembling those of the chestnut. It grows everywhere, but its wood is hard yet unsuitable for construction materials, which is a characteristic of this tree. In mountainous areas, people pound its kernels into flour for food, but this causes constipation by binding the intestines. Oak trees are excellent for making charcoal, surpassing other woods. Its shells can be used to dye black; if exposed to rainwater, the color becomes pale, inferior to those not exposed to rain. The Quercus variabilis (Chinese cork oak) also has shells, but fewer and less substantial than those of the Quercus.
Currently, people mix it with other herbs to dye facial hair.
(It also refers to Quercus variabilis) There are also knots/galls, though inferior to those of the Quercus; although hard, they are unsuitable for construction. Slightly roasted Quercus variabilis leaves, mixed with half the amount of stir-fried Sophora flower, ground into powder, and taken with rice water decoction, treat early-stage intestinal wind and bloody hemorrhoids, especially effective for cases with excess heat. It can also be made into charcoal, though inferior to Oak charcoal.
(It) is also effective in treating heat in the heart and lungs of horses.
Monks currently use it to make prayer beads, as mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. Only small, purple-red ones are considered superior. It is rarely used in medicine nowadays, though available in Xiluo.
When opened, the coconut contains juice like milk, extremely sweet and fragrant, possessing a unique aroma. Inside is a kernel resembling Trichosanthes fruit, white with fine protrusions, slightly hollow. The texture resembles pleats on a woman's skirt, and its taste matches the juice. Additionally, there is a layer of white flesh attached to the shell, which can be scraped off. Both the kernel and this flesh can be boiled with sugar to make a juice resembling white wine in color and taste. However, calling it "wine" was a forced name given by enthusiasts at the time. Its shell is used as a wine vessel; if the wine is poisoned, it boils. Nowadays, people lacquer the inside, completely defeating the purpose of using coconut shells.
(Burned) into black ash and combined with other herbs, it treats lung wind toxicity. Also, bark pieces with uniform purple-black floral patterns are used to wrap saddle bows and stirrups.
Now called "Three-Spring Willow," because it blooms three times a year. The flowers/meat are red, forming fine spikes. In Hexi, nomads use its smooth branches as whips. It is also abundant in the capital.
(Vines grow) and wither annually. Leaves resemble grape leaves; fruits resemble large Trichosanthes, turning reddish-yellow when ripe, with slight thorns that cannot pierce human skin. It grows south of Jingnan. It ripens in September and October; the seeds inside the fruit are called Mu Bie Zi (Momordica cochinchinensis seed). As long as the root survives, new shoots emerge in spring. Seeds with one pointed end are male. When planting, male and female plants must be paired and bound with hemp thread. During growth, the male plants are removed so that only the female plants bear fruit.
