韭，又名草钟乳，是壮阳的草本植物。可以用根分株繁殖，也可以用种子播种。一年可以收割三四次。八月开花，成丛生长。九月结果。味道辛涩，煮熟后味甘酸。药性温。归入足厥阴肝经。主治心腹部的顽固性冷积和癖块。将鲜韭捣烂取汁服用，可治疗胸痹（胸部闷痛），疼痛如针刺锥扎，并能吐出胸中的恶血，效果非常显著。主治吐血、唾血、鼻衄、尿血。治疗妇人月经逆行、跌打损伤，以及膈噎病，煮食可温中下气，归肾益阳。用韭菜熏治产妇血晕，用韭菜水洗治肠痔脱肛。韭菜叶性热，根部性温。生吃则味辛能散血，熟吃则味甘能补中。它是足厥阴肝经的蔬菜。《素问》说心病适宜吃韭，《食鉴本草》说韭归肾，因为肾与肝是子母脏关系。（李时珍）将韭捣汁澄清，与童便混合饮用，能消散胃脘部的瘀血，效果极佳。痰中带血丝咳出者，将生韭汁与童便两物合用，加入郁金研末内服，血液自然清朗。又给初生婴儿灌服，可吐出恶水恶血，终身不再患各种疾病。有一位贫苦老人患噎膈病，胸中刺痛，有人让他取韭汁，加入少许盐和梅卤，慢慢呷饮，逐渐增加剂量，忽然吐出数升稠涎而痊愈。治疗反胃，用韭汁两杯，加入姜汁、牛乳各一杯，细细温服。这是因为韭汁能消血，姜汁能消痰，牛乳能润燥补虚并解热。有一人腊月喝了三杯刮剁酒，此后进食必须弯曲身体才能下咽至膈部，感觉硬涩微痛，右脉甚涩，关脉沉，这是污血停留在胃脘口，气因郁结而成痰，阻塞食道所致。用韭汁半盏，细细呷饮以致死血留于胃口而成者，宜在药中加入韭汁、桔梗，以开提气血。（朱丹溪）肾气上逆，可用五苓散制成丸剂，空腹时，用茴香汤送服，因为韭性兼能散胃口血滞。治疗消渴引饮，将韭苗炒熟，或做成羹汤，不要加盐，加酱无妨。吃到十斤即可停止，效果极好。过了清明节就不要吃了，否则会脱气。痔疮作痛，用韭菜一斤切段，用酥油拌炒熟，用绵布包裹成两个包，交替熨烫患处，以热度进入体内为度。用洗汤盆盛装药液，用器皿盖住，留一个孔，乘热坐在孔上，先熏后洗，数次之后，痔疮自然脱落。
〔论述〕韭味辛属阳，肝喜辛味，是因为辛味媾合于金气而上承阳气，进而通达阴气。韭味酸属阴，肺喜酸味，是因为酸味媾合于木气……（原文此处有缺漏或错简，依文意推测：酸味归于肾）。韭味辛甘，药性温，属阳。能入厥阴经，补下焦肝及命门之不足。治疗梦中遗精，以及溺血。治疗小便频数、遗尿。治疗女人白淫、白带。《三因方》治疗下元虚冷，小便不禁，或形成白浊，有家韭子丸。茎不痿软，精液流出不止，时时如针刺，捏之则痛，病名强中，这是肾滞漏疾。用韭子、破故纸各一两，研为细末，每次服用三钱，用水一盏，煎服，每日三次。按：韭子主治强中，这是下焦元阳虚而有滞塞导致漏泄，得上焦辛甘施化，所以奏效。若是阴虚为病，则需慎用。
〔论述〕韭叶已有辛味，最后带有微酸，生用时绝无甘味。若韭子则在季秋时节结成，禀受金气之专，已无酸味。肺所主……（原文此处有缺漏或错简，依文意推测：肺气不归……）。中渎之府，水道由此而出。肝固然是主溺的器官，然而已包举于三焦之中，下焦卫气能化水而出，即能约束三焦……（原文此处有缺漏或错简）。多食能昏乱人的神志，是最为养性所忌讳的。胃气虚而有热者，不要服用。（陈实功/仲淳）
Leek, also known as "Grass Stalactite" (Caozhongru), is a yang-strengthening herb. It can be propagated by root division or by seed. It can be harvested three to four times a year. It flowers in clusters in the eighth lunar month and produces fruit in the ninth lunar month. Its taste is pungent and astringent when raw, becoming sweet and sour when cooked. Its nature is warm. It enters the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. It mainly treats stubborn cold accumulation and masses in the heart and abdomen. Taking the juice of fresh leeks crushed and extracted can treat Chest Bi (chest obstruction with stabbing pain), where the pain feels like being pierced by an awl, and it helps expel foul blood from the chest, which is highly effective. It treats hematemesis, spitting blood, epistaxis, and hematuria. It treats retrograde menstruation in women, traumatic injuries, and dysphagia (Ge Yi disease). Cooking and eating it warms the middle jiao and directs qi downward, benefits the Kidney, and strengthens Yang. Fumigating with leeks treats postpartum syncope due to blood collapse; washing with leek water treats hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse. Leek leaves are hot in nature, while the roots are warm. Raw leeks are pungent and disperse blood; cooked leeks are sweet and tonify the middle jiao. It is a vegetable of the Foot Jueyin Liver. The *Suwen* states that Heart diseases benefit from eating leeks. The *Shijian Bencao* states that leeks enter the Kidney, as Kidney and Liver are mother-son organs. (Li Shizhen) Clarified leek juice mixed with child's urine can dissipate blood stasis in the epigastrium, which is very effective. For phlegm with blood streaks coughed up, mixing raw leek juice and child's urine, adding *Curcuma aromatica* (Yujin, 郁金) powder and taking it internally will clear the blood. Pouring it into newborns helps them vomit foul water and blood, preventing various diseases later in life. A poor old man suffered from dysphagia with stabbing chest pain. Someone advised him to sip leek juice mixed with a little salt and plum brine slowly, gradually increasing the dose. He suddenly vomited several sheng of thick saliva and was cured. For regurgitation, take two cups of leek juice, add one cup each of ginger juice and cow milk, and take it warm slowly. This is because leek juice dissolves blood stasis, ginger juice resolves phlegm, and cow milk moistens dryness, tonifies deficiency, and clears heat. One person drank three cups of "Guaduo Wine" in the twelfth lunar month. Since then, food had to pass through the diaphragm with difficulty, feeling hard, astringent, and slightly painful. The right pulse was very choppy, and the Guan position pulse was deep. This indicates foul blood stagnating at the entrance of the stomach, with Qi constrained transforming into phlegm, blocking the esophagus. Take half a cup of leek juice and sip it slowly. For cases where dead blood remains at the stomach opening, add leek juice and *Platycodon grandiflorus* (Jiegeng, 桔梗) to the prescription to lift and open Qi and Blood. (Zhu Danxi) For upward reversal of Kidney Qi, use *Wuling San* (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) made into pills, taken on an empty stomach with Anise (*Foeniculum vulgare*, Huixiang, 茴香) decoction, because leek nature can also dissipate blood stasis at the stomach opening. For Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst) with excessive thirst, stir-fry leek shoots or make them into soup, without adding salt; adding sauce is acceptable. Eat up to ten jin (5 kg) and then stop; this is extremely effective. Do not eat after the Qingming Festival, as it causes Qi depletion. For painful hemorrhoids, cut one jin (500 g) of leeks, mix with butter, stir-fry until cooked, wrap in cotton cloth to make two packs, and apply alternately with heat until the warmth penetrates. For washing, place the medicinal liquid in a basin, cover with a vessel leaving one hole, sit over the hole while hot, fumigate first then wash. After several times, the hemorrhoids will naturally fall off.
[Discussion] Leek is pungent and belongs to Yang. The Liver likes pungency because pungency interacts with Metal Qi to ascend and receive Yang, thereby reaching Yin. Leek is sour and belongs to Yin. The Lung likes sourness... (Text here has lacunae/scribal errors, inferred: Sourness returns to the Kidney). Leek is pungent and sweet, warm in nature, belonging to Yang. It can enter the Jueyin Meridian, tonify the deficiency of the Lower Jiao Liver and Mingmen (Gate of Vitality). It treats nocturnal emission, hematuria, frequent urination, enuresis, leukorrhea, and vaginal discharge in women. *San Yin Fang* treats deficiency-cold of the Lower Yuan, involuntary urination, or turbid urine, using Home-made Leek Seed Pills. For impotence, continuous seminal emission, sensation of needle-like pricking, and pain upon pressure, named Qiang Zhong (Strong Middle), which is a Kidney stagnation and leakage disorder. Use equal parts of Leek Seeds (*Allium tuberosum* seeds, Jiu Zi, 韭子) and Prepared Teasel Root (*Dipsaci Radix*, Gubuzhi, 破故纸), each one liang (30 g), powdered. Take three qian (9 g) per dose, decocted in one sheng (200 ml) of water, taken three times daily. Note: Leek seeds treat Qiang Zhong, which is caused by deficiency of Lower Yuan Original Yang with stagnation leading to leakage. Receiving the transformation of Upper Jiao Pungent-Sweet qualities achieves efficacy. If the disease is due to Yin deficiency, caution is required.
[Discussion] Leek leaves are pungent, with a slight sourness at the end, and absolutely no sweetness when raw. Leek seeds, however, form in late autumn, exclusively inheriting Metal Qi, and have lost their sourness. Lung Qi... (Text here has lacunae/scribal errors, inferred: Lung Qi does not return...). The Middle Du Fu (Middle Vessel), where water passages emerge. The Liver governs urination, but is encompassed within the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). Wei Qi of the Lower Jiao transforms water for excretion, thus constraining the Sanjiao... (Text here has lacunae/scribal errors). Eating too much can confuse the spirit and is most taboo for nourishing life. Those with deficient Stomach Qi and internal heat should not consume it. (Chen Shigong/Zhongchun)
Leek yellow (etiolated leeks), which have not emerged from the soil, have stagnant Qi; consuming them obstructs Qi movement. Leek flowers, when consumed, stir up Wind.
