【竹茹】
气味甘、微寒，无毒。主治呕吐，温气病，寒热往来，吐血，崩中漏下。（出自《名医别录》）
张隐庵说：这是利用竹子的脉络，来疏通人体的脉络。人体脉络不和，就会导致吐逆且伴有热象。脉络不和，就会出现或寒或热的症状。如果充盈于皮肤、肌肉之间，渗入皮毛的血液，不能循行于脉络之中，就会向上导致吐血，向下导致崩中漏下。竹茹能疏通脉络，因此都能治疗这些病症。

Zhang Yin'an stated: This utilizes the meridians of bamboo to unblock the meridians of the human body. When the meridians in the human body are disharmonious, it leads to regurgitation accompanied by heat. If the meridians are disharmonious, there may be either cold or heat symptoms. If the blood that fills the skin, warms the flesh, and渗ates into the hair follicles does not circulate within the meridians, it will lead upward to hematemesis and downward to metrorrhagia. Bamboo shavings unblock the meridians and thus treat all these conditions.
