味辛，性温，无毒。主治妇女赤白带下（阴道分泌物异常），经闭不通，阴部肿痛，寒热往来，风邪侵袭头部导致流泪，能使肌肤生长，润泽面部作为面脂，治疗风邪引起的久渴、呕吐、两胁胀满、风痛、头晕目眩及眼痒。可制作膏药和面脂，滋润肤色。又名芳香，一名白蕰，一名嚣（读音同“骄”），一名莞，一名苻蓠，一名泽芬。其叶名藁本（音同“历”，此处原文可能有误或通假，通常指类似植物部分，依原文直译），可用于制作洗浴汤剂。产于河东地区的川谷低湿处。二月和八月采集根部，晒干。（当归为其引经药，忌与旋复花同用。）
陶隐居说：现在各地都有出产，靠近下湿地带的东方尤其多。叶子也可以用来制作洗浴汤剂，道家用它熏香沐浴，以去除体内的尸虫，也用于合制香料。臣禹锡等人谨按范子计然所说：白芷产于齐郡，以春季采自黄泽地区的品质最佳。《药性论》说：白芷为君药。能治疗心腹血刺痛，祛除风邪，主治妇女血崩及呕吐逆气，明目止泪。治疗妇人沥血腰痛，能腐蚀脓液。日华子说：治疗目赤胬肉（眼部增生组织），以及补益胎漏滑胎（先兆流产），破除瘀血，补益新血，治疗乳痈发背（乳腺炎及背部痈疽），瘰疬（颈部淋巴结结核），肠风（便血），痔疾，排脓，治疗疮疡疥癣，止痛，生肌，去除面部黑斑疤痕。
《图经》说：白芷产于河东地区的川谷低湿处，现在各地都有，吴地尤其多。根长一尺多，白色，粗细不等，枝秆离地五寸以上。春天生叶，相对生长姿态婆娑，紫色，宽约三指。花白色微黄。入伏后结子，立秋后茎叶枯萎。二月、八月采集根部晒干。以黄泽产者为佳，楚地人称之为药。《九歌》中说：“辛夷楣兮药局。”王逸注释说：药，就是白芷。
雷公说：凡是采集后，不要用四条长在一起生长的，这名叫丧公藤。同时不要使用马蔺，这些都不入药中。采集后刮去外皮，细切，用黄精细切，用竹刀切割，两味药等分，两次蒸一个时辰（约8小时）后取出。在太阳下晒干，去掉黄精，只使用白芷。《外台秘要》：治疗丹毒瘾疹。用白芷及其根叶煮汁清洗，有效。《子母秘录》治疗小儿身热。用白芷煮汤给婴儿洗澡，注意避风。
《衍义》说：白芷，就是菹。出自吴地的品质优良。《经》说：能腐蚀脓液。现在人用它治疗带下病，肠道内有腐败脓液，淋漓不断，气味腥臭特别严重，甚至导致脐腹部更加冷痛。这大概是因败脓血所致。如果没有停止的时候，必须用此药排脓。白芷一两，单叶红蜀葵根二两，白色的芍药根、白矾各半两，白矾烧枯后单独研细，其余药物研成末，混合后用蜡制成梧桐子大小的丸药。空腹及饭前，用米饮送服十丸或十五丸。等到脓液排尽后，再用其他药物进行补益。
Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats leukorrhea with red and white discharge (abnormal vaginal discharge) in women, amenorrhea (closure of menstruation), swelling and pain of the yin region, alternating chills and fever, tearing caused by wind pathogen invading the head, promotes skin growth, moistens and beautifies the face as a facial cream, treats thirst persisting for a long time due to wind pathogen, vomiting, fullness in the two hypochondria, wind-induced pain, dizziness, and itchy eyes. It can be used to make ointments and facial creams to moisturize the complexion. Also known as Fang Xiang, Bai Wen, Xiao (pronounced like Jiao), Guan, Fu Li, and Ze Fen. Its leaves are named Gao Ben (pronounced like Li; note: text may contain variant/typo, translated literally), which can be used to prepare bathing decoctions. It grows in the valleys and low-lying damp areas of Hedong. The roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the sun. (Dang Gui serves as its guiding herb; it is incompatible with Xin Fu Hua.)
Tao Hongjing stated: Currently, it is found everywhere along the nearby routes, especially abundant in the eastern lower damp areas. The leaves can also be used to prepare bathing decoctions. Daoists use this fragrance for bathing to remove "corpse worms" (parasites/internal pathogens), and it is also used in compounding incense. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to Fan Zi Ji Ran, stated: Bai Zhi originates from Qi Commandery, and those harvested from Huang Ze in spring are of the best quality. *Yao Xing Lun* states: Bai Zhi acts as the sovereign drug. It can treat stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen caused by blood stasis, dispel wind pathogen, primarily treat metrorrhagia and vomiting/rebellious qi in women, brighten the eyes and stop tearing. It treats dripping blood and lower back pain in women and can cauterize pus. Ri Huazi stated: It treats red eyes with fleshy overgrowth (pterygium/nasolacrimal duct obstruction tissue), supplements fetal leakage and threatened miscarriage, breaks up old blood, supplements new blood, treats breast abscesses and back carbuncles, scrofula (tuberculous lymphadenitis of the neck), intestinal wind (hematochezia), hemorrhoids, expels pus, treats sores, tinea, and scabies, relieves pain, generates flesh, and removes facial blemishes and scars.
*TU Jing* stated: Bai Zhi grows in the valleys and low-lying damp areas of Hedong, but is now available everywhere, particularly abundant in the Wu region. The root is over a chi long, white in color, varying in thickness, with branches and stems rising more than five cun above the ground. Leaves emerge in spring, growing opposite each other in a graceful manner, purple in color, about three fingers wide. Flowers are white with a slight yellow tint. Seeds form after the beginning of the Dog Days, and the aerial parts wither after the Start of Autumn. Roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the sun. Those from Huang Ze are considered superior; people in Chu call it Yao. The *Nine Songs* says: "Willow-leaved magnolia on the lintel, Bai Zhi on the door." Wang Yi's commentary states: Yao refers to Bai Zhi.
Lei Gong stated: After harvesting, do not use those where four stalks grow together, as these are called Sang Gong Teng. Also, do not use Ma Lin; neither should be included in medicinal preparations. After harvesting, scrape off the outer bark, slice finely, and slice Huang Jing finely. Use a bamboo knife to cut. Mix equal parts of both, steam twice for one fu period (approx. 8 hours), then remove. Dry in the sun, discard the Huang Jing, and use only the Bai Zhi. *Waitai Miyao*: Treats erysipelas and urticaria. Boil Bai Zhi and its root leaves to make a decoction for washing; this is effective. *Zimu Milu*: Treats infantile fever. Bathe the child in a Bai Zhi decoction, ensuring protection from wind.
*Yanyi* stated: Bai Zhi is the same as Zu. Those from the Wu region are of good quality. The *Classic* states: It can cauterize pus. Nowadays, people use it to treat leukorrhea where there is putrid pus in the intestines, dripping continuously with a particularly foul odor, leading to increased cold pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions. This is likely caused by putrid blood and pus. If there is no end to this condition, one must use this drug to expel the pus. Take one liang of Bai Zhi, two liang of the root of single-leaf red hibiscus, half a liang of white Peony Root, and half a liang of Alum. Calcine the Alum until dry and grind separately. Grind the remaining herbs into powder, mix them, and form pills using wax, sized like wu zi (wheat seeds). Take ten or fifteen pills on an empty stomach and before meals with rice water. Wait until the pus is completely expelled, then supplement with other medications.
