桑耳 味甘，有毒。黑色的主治妇女漏下赤白带下，血瘕积聚，阴部疼痛，阴阳寒热失调，不孕，治疗月经不调。其中黄色成熟后变白的，能止久泻，益气，让人不觉得饥饿。金色的，治疗癖饮积聚，腹痛，金创。又名桑菌，又名木麦（蜀本《本草》作“荀”，音诠荀切）。

陶隐居说：向东生长的桑根容易得到，而江边多出土的桑根，不可轻信。桑耳断谷方中说：木蕈，又呼为桑上寄生，这里说的是五木耳。但没有明确说明这四种是什么树。按考证，老桑树上生的是干燥的耳类真菌。有黄色的、赤白色的，又多雨时，也生软湿的。人们采集用来做腌菜，都没有药用价值了。唐本注说：楮耳，人们常食用；槐耳，用于治疗痔疮；榆耳、柳耳、桑耳；这称为五耳。软的都可以吃。桑椹，味甘，性寒，无毒。单食主治消渴症。叶，味苦、甘，性寒，有少量毒性。用水煎取浓汁，去除脚气水肿，通利大小肠。灰，味辛，性寒，有小毒。蒸煮淋取汁液制成膏，与冬灰等同用可消除黑痣，腐蚀恶肉，煮成小豆大小的丸剂服用可治下水肿，敷在金创上止血生肌。现在考证陈藏器《本草》说：桑叶汁，主治霍乱腹痛吐泻。冬天用干者浓煮服用，研磨取白汁配合治疗金创，又主治小儿唇疮。细锉，在大锅中煎，取如赤糖状的膏，去除老风和宿血。叶桠者名为鸡桑，最适宜入药。椹，利五脏、关节，通血气。久服不饿。多收晒干。捣末蜜和做成丸剂。每日服六十丸，能使头发变白并延缓衰老。取黑椹一升，和蝌蚪一升，瓶盛封闭悬挂在房屋东头，一百天全部化为黑泥，染白鬓角如漆。又取十四枚和胡桃脂研如泥，拔掉白发，点在孔中即生出黑发。臣禹锡等谨按《药性论》说：桑白皮，使药，平性。能治肺气喘满，水气浮肿，主治损伤绝气，利水道，消水气，虚劳客热，头痛，内补不足。桑耳，使药。又名桑臣，又名桑黄。味甘、辛，无毒。能治妇女崩中带下，月经闭阻血凝，产后血凝，男子癖块，兼疗伏血，下赤血。又说木耳，也可单用，平性。孟诜说：寒性，无毒。利五脏，宣通肠胃气拥，毒气。不可多吃，只适合服用丹石的人清热，和葱、豉做羹。萧炳说：桑叶炙煮饮用，止霍乱。孟诜说：桑根白皮煮汁饮用，利五脏。又入散剂使用，下一切风气，水气。又说桑叶炙煎饮用，止渴，一如茶法。又说桑皮煮汁，可染褐色久不落，柴烧灰淋汁入炼，五金家用。日华子说：桑白皮，温性。调中下气，益五脏，消痰止渴，利大小肠，开胃下食，杀腹脏虫，止霍乱吐泻，这就是出自桑根皮。又说家桑东行根，暖性，无毒。研汁治小儿天吊惊痫，客忤，以及敷鹅口疮，大验。又说家桑叶，暖性，无毒。利五脏，通关节，下气。煎服，除风痛出汗，并扑损瘀血，并蒸后蛇虫蜈蚣咬，盐挪敷上。春叶未开枝可作煎，酒服治一切风。又说桑耳，温性，微毒。止肠风泻血，妇人心腹痛。《药性论》说：蕈耳也可单用，平性。古槐、桑树上长的良。能治破血益力，其余树上长的多动风气，发痼疾，令人肋下急，损经络，背膊闷。又煮浆粥，安槐木上，草覆之，即生蕈，次柘木者良。孟诜说：菌子，寒性。发五脏风，拥经脉，动痔病，令人昏昏多睡，背膊四肢无力。又说菌子有数般，槐树上生的良。野田中的，恐有毒，杀人。又多发冷气，令腹中微微痛。
《图经》说：桑根白皮，《本经》不着所出州土，现在到处都有。采集没有固定时间。不可用出土部分的，用东行根更佳。有人说木白皮也可用。初采得，以铜刀剥去上粗皮，取其里白切焙干。其皮中青涎，勿使刮去，药力都在其上。恶铁及铅，不可近之。桑叶以夏秋再生者为上，霜后采之。煮汤淋渫手足，去风痹殊胜。桑耳，一名桑黄。有黄熟陈白者，又有金色者，皆可用，碎切，酒煎，主带下。其实椹，有白、黑二种，曝干。皆主变白发。皮上白藓，花亦名桑花，状似地钱。刀削取炒干，以止衄、吐血等。其柴烧灰淋汁，医家亦多用之。桑上蠹虫，主暴心痛，金疮肉生不足。皮中白汁主小儿口疮，敷之便愈。又以涂金刃所伤燥痛，须臾血止，更剥白皮裹之，令汁得入疮中，良。冬月用根皮皆验。白皮作线，以缝金创肠出者，更以热鸡血涂之。唐·安金藏剖腹用此法，便愈。桑条作煎见《近效方》。云∶桑煎疗水气，肺气，香港脚，痈肿兼风气。桑枝二两，用大秤七两，一物细切如豆，以水一大升，煎取三大合，如欲得多造，准此增加，先熬令香，然后煎。每服肚空时吃，或茶汤、或羹粥，每服半大升，亦无禁忌也。本方云∶桑枝，平性。不冷不热，可以常服。疗遍体风痒干燥，香港脚，风气，四肢拘挛，上气，眼晕，肺气嗽，消食，利小便。久服轻身，聪明耳目，令人光泽，兼疗口干。《仙经》云∶一切仙药，不得桑煎不服。出《抱朴子》。本方∶桑枝一小升，细切熬令香，以水三大升，煎取二大升。一日服尽，无问食前后，此服只根据前方也。桑叶可常服。神仙服食方∶以四月桑茂盛时采叶，又十月霜后，三分二分已落时，一分在者，名神仙叶，即采取。与前叶同阴干。捣末丸散任服，或煎以代茶饮。又采椹，曝干。和蜜食之，并令人聪明，安魂镇神。又炙叶，令微干。和桑衣煎服。治痢，亦主金创及诸损伤，止血。方书称桑之功最神，在人资用尤多。《尔雅》云∶桑辨有葚（与椹同），栀。郭璞云∶辨，半也。一半有葚，半无名曰栀。又云∶女桑， 桑。俗间呼桑木之小而条长者为女桑。又山桑木堪弓弩， 桑丝中琴瑟，皆材之美者也，他木鲜及焉。
