药性微温。臣禹锡等人依据蜀本草记载说：药性微寒。主治咳嗽气逆。
陶隐居（陶弘景）说：山野中到处都有，根部数十个相连，形状像天门冬但味道更苦且效力更强，也有小毒。用火烤后浸泡在酒中饮用，可治疗咳嗽，也能用于去除虱子。煮成汤剂，清洗牛、犬身上的虱子即可去除。《博物志》记载：九真郡有一种草类似百部，只是长得更大一些，悬挂在火上烘干，夜间取四、五寸长切段，含在口中咽下汁液，不要让人知道。对突发剧烈咳嗽效果很好，名叫“嗽药”。怀疑这就是百部。恐怕是因为生长在肥沃湿润的地方，所以长得比较大。现在考证陈藏器的《本草拾遗》说：百部根，用火烤后浸酒，空腹饮用。可驱除虫蚕叮咬以及疥癣疮疡。臣禹锡等人依据《药性论》记载：百部，作为使药使用，味甘，无毒。能治疗肺热，气逆咳嗽，主要起到滋润补益肺部的作用。日华子说：味苦，无毒。治疗疳积蛔虫及传尸劳（肺结核），骨蒸劳热，杀灭蛔虫、寸白虫（绦虫）、蛲虫，并治疗一切树木蛀蚀，烧成灰也可以杀死苍蝇蚊子。又名婆妇草。一根茎上有三十多茎叶。
《图经本草》说：百部根，旧籍未注明出产州土，如今江、湖、淮、陕、齐、鲁各州郡都有生长。春天生苗，长成藤蔓，叶子大而尖长，很像竹叶，表面青色且有光泽，根部聚集成簇像芋头一样。一簇有十五、六枚，黄白色，二月、三月、八月采集，晒干备用。古今方书中治疗咳嗽多用此药。葛洪主张治疗突发咳嗽。用百部根、生姜两味药，分别榨汁混合煎煮，服用二合。张文仲单用百部根，用酒浸泡两天两夜。药性大温，服用一升，每日两次。《千金方》：治疗三十年久咳。用百部根二十斤，捣碎绞取汁液，煎煮如饴糖般浓稠。每次服用一方寸匕，每日三次。有效验。
《唐本草》说：药性微寒，有小毒。雷公说：凡入药，采得后，用竹刀劈开，去掉心、皮、花，分成数十条，挂在屋檐下风吹，待完全干燥后，再用酒浸泡一夜，滤出焙干，细锉后使用。如果有一株自然长出八十三条根的，称为“地仙苗”。如果经过炮制服用它，可以活千岁。《外台秘要》：治疗误吞钱币。百部根四两，酒一升，浸泡一夜，温服一升，每日两次。《续十全方》治疗突发咳嗽。百部藤根捣取自然汁，与蜂蜜等分，用沸水煎成膏状含咽。《抱朴子》记载百部根，调理咳嗽及杀灭虱子。
Stemona Radix
Slightly warm in nature. Chen Yuxi and others, according to the Shu Bencao (Shu Materia Medica), state: Slightly cold in nature. It primarily treats cough with rebellious Qi (cough and shortness of breath).
Tao Hongjing states: It is found everywhere in mountains and wilds. The roots are connected in clusters of dozens, resembling Tianmendong (Asparagi Radix) but more bitter and potent, and it possesses slight toxicity. After roasting over fire and steeping in wine, it can be drunk to treat cough; it also effectively removes lice. Boiled into a decoction, washing cattle and dogs with it removes lice. The *Bowuzhi* (Records of Various Things) states: In Jiuzhen Commandery, there is a grass similar to Stemona, only larger. It is hung over fire to dry. At night, four or five cun pieces are cut short, held in the mouth to swallow the juice, without letting others know. It is very effective for sudden severe cough and is named "Souyao" (Cough Medicine). It is suspected that this is indeed Stemona. Perhaps because it grows in fertile and moist places, it becomes larger. Currently, examining Chen Cangqi's *Bencao Shiyi* (Supplement to Materia Medica): Stemona Radix, after roasting and steeping in wine, should be drunk on an empty stomach. It expels insects and insect bites, as well as scabies and tinea ulcers. Chen Yuxi and others, according to *Yaoxing Lun* (Discussion on Drug Properties): Stemona, used as an assistant drug, has a sweet taste and is non-toxic. It can treat lung heat, rebellious Qi with cough, and primarily moistens and benefits the Lung. Ri Huazi states: Bitter in taste, non-toxic. It treats gan accumulation with roundworms and chuanshi lao (consumption tuberculosis), bone-steaming fever, kills roundworms, taenia (tapeworms), and pinworms, and treats all kinds of tree borings; burnt to ash, it can also kill flies and midges. It is also known as Po'fucao (Old Woman Grass). One root produces thirty-plus stems.
*Tujing Bencao* (Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica) states: Stemona Radix was not previously noted for its place of origin. Now it is found in Jiang, Hu, Huai, Shaan, Qi, and Lu commanderies. In spring, shoots emerge growing as vines. The leaves are large, sharp, and long, somewhat resembling bamboo leaves, greenish-blue on the surface and glossy. The roots form a cluster at the bottom like taro. A single cluster contains fifteen or sixteen tubers, yellowish-white. They are harvested in February, March, and August, dried in the sun, and used. Ancient and modern formula books often use it to treat cough. Ge Hong advocated treating sudden cough. Using Stemona Radix and fresh ginger, two ingredients, each pressed for juice, mixed and boiled together, take 2 he. Zhang Wenzhong used Stemona Radix alone, steeped in wine for two nights. The property becomes greatly warm; take 1 sheng, twice daily. *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold): Treats thirty-year chronic cough. Use twenty jin of Stemona Radix, pound and press to extract juice, boil until thick like maltose. Take one fangcun bi (a measure roughly equivalent to a teaspoonful) per dose, three times daily. Proven effective.
*Tang Bencao* (Tang Materia Medica) states: Slightly cold in nature, slightly toxic. Lei Gong states: When preparing, after harvesting, split open with a bamboo knife, remove the heart, skin, and flowers, divide into dozens of strips, hang under the eaves to air-dry by wind. Wait until completely dry, then steep in wine overnight, strain out, bake dry, and finely chop for use. If one clump naturally has eighty-three roots, it is called "Dixianmiao" (Earth Immortal Seedling). If processed and taken, one could live a thousand years. *Waitai Miyao* (Secret Essentials of the Outer Cabinet): Treats accidental swallowing of coins. Four liang of Stemona Radix, one sheng of wine, steep overnight, warm and take one sheng, twice daily. *Xu Shiquan Fang* (Continued Perfect Ten Prescriptions) treats sudden cough. Pound Stemona vine roots to obtain natural juice, mix equally with honey, boil with boiling water to form a paste, and swallow. *Baopuzi* records Stemona Radix regulates cough and kills lice.
