《图经本草》记载：红蓝花就是红花。产于梁州、汉中和西域，现在到处都有。人家在田地和菜园里种植，冬天将种子播撒在熟地上，到春天长出苗，夏天开花。植株下部有刺，花蕊从刺丛中伸出。园丁趁着露水采摘，采完后又会长出新的，直到采尽为止。茎中结籽，白色颗粒像小豆那么大。其花晒干后，用来染真红色及制作胭脂。主治产后血病效果显著，其果实作用相同，叶子很像蓝草，所以有“蓝”的名字，又名黄蓝。《博物志》记载：这是张骞带回的。张仲景治疗六十二种风邪，兼治腹内气血刺痛。用红花一两，分为四份，用酒一升，煎至剩大半升，一次性服下。如果症状不止，再服用。另一个方子：用红蓝子一升捣碎，用无灰酒一升八合，拌匀后晒干，再次捣碎过筛，蜜丸如梧桐子大，空腹时用酒送服四十丸。《正元广利方》治疗女子中风，血热烦渴者。用红蓝子五大合，微炒后捣碎，第二天取半大匙，用水一升，煎取七合，去渣，细细咽下。还有崔元亮《海上方》：治疗喉痹，咽喉壅塞不通者。取红蓝花捣烂，绞取汁液一小升服用，以痊愈为度。如果是冬天没有新鲜花，可以用干花浸泡后浓绞取汁，像前面那样服用，效果极佳。只要是咽喉堵塞，服用都能痊愈。也治疗妇人产后血晕气绝的情况。
《唐本注》记载：治疗牙关紧闭不能说话，血结，产后各种疾病，可以用来染红。《外台秘要》：治疗一切肿方的方法：用红花煮熟烂后捣取汁液服用，不超过三两次服用就会痊愈。服用的多少，根据肿胀的大小来决定。《简要济众方》：产后血晕，心闷气绝。红花一两，捣成粉末，分作两次服用，用酒两盏，煎取一盏，一起服下。如果牙关紧闭，撬开嘴巴灌进去。《子母秘录》与此相同。《产宝》：治疗产后中风，烦渴。红花子五合，微炒研碎，用水一升，煎取七合，慢慢喝下。《近效方》：治疗血晕不省人事，烦闷者。红花三两，新鲜的为佳。无灰酒半升，童子小便半升，煮取一大盏，去渣，待冷却后一次性服下，用新汲水煮也可以。
Honglanhua (Safflower)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats postpartum blood dizziness and trismus (lockjaw), colic caused by incomplete expulsion of evil blood within the abdomen, and fetal death in the womb; these are treated by decocting with wine. It also treats lower bleeding caused by gu poison (parasitic disease). It can be used to make rouge. Its young shoots, when crushed fresh and applied externally, treat wandering swelling (erysipelas or cellulitis). Swallowing a few seeds treats epidemic diseases where pustules fail to erupt. The rouge derived from it is used for pediatric ear conditions, instilled into the ear. It grows in Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and the Western Regions. Also known as Huanglan (Yellow Indigo). *Bowuzhi* states: Huanglan was obtained by Zhang Qian. Currently, it is also cultivated in Cangwei. (Added later)
*Tujing Bencao* records: Honglanhua is Huahong (Safflower). It grows in Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and the Western Regions, and is now found everywhere. It is planted in fields and gardens by households; seeds are sown in prepared soil in winter, sprouts emerge in spring, and flowers appear in summer. The lower part of the plant has thorns, and the flower stamens emerge from among the thorns. Gardeners harvest it while dew is present; new flowers grow after harvesting until the season ends. Seeds form in the stem, white grains about the size of small beans. The dried flowers are used to dye true red and make rouge. It is particularly effective for treating postpartum blood disorders; its fruit has similar effects. The leaves resemble indigo plants, hence the name "Lan" (Indigo), also called Huanglan. *Bowuzhi* states: This was brought back by Zhang Qian. Zhang Zhongjing treated sixty-two types of wind pathogens combined with stabbing pain in the abdomen due to qi and blood stagnation. Use one liang of Huahong, divided into four portions, decocted in one sheng of wine until half remains, taken at once. If symptoms persist, take another dose. Another prescription: Use one sheng of Honglanzi (Safflower seeds), crush them, mix with one sheng eight he of unfiltered wine, sun-dry, crush again, sieve, and form honey pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take forty pills on an empty stomach with wine. *Zhengyuan Guanglifang* treats women with wind-stroke, blood-heat, and thirst. Use five dahe of Honglanzi, lightly stir-fried and crushed. The next day, take half a large spoonful, decoct in one sheng of water until seven he remain, remove dregs, and swallow slowly. Additionally, Cui Yuanliang's *Haishang Fang*: Treats throat bi (obstruction) with blockage preventing passage. Crush Honglanhua, squeeze out one xiaosheng of juice, and take it. Discontinue when cured. In winter, if fresh flowers are unavailable, soak dried flowers, squeeze thick juice, and take as before; this is highly effective. Any throat obstruction will heal upon taking it. It also treats postpartum blood dizziness leading to fainting.
*Tangben Zhu* records: Treats trismus with inability to speak, blood coagulation, and various postpartum diseases; suitable for dyeing red. *Waitai Miyao*: Prescription for all swellings: Cook Honglanhua until soft, crush, extract juice, and take. Recovery occurs within two or three doses. Dosage depends on the size of the swelling. *Jianyao Jizhong Fang*: For postpartum blood dizziness, chest oppression, and breathlessness. One liang of Honglanhua, crushed to powder, divided into two doses. Decoct in two zhan of wine until one zhan remains, and take together. If trismus occurs, pry open the mouth and administer. *Zimu Milu* agrees. *Chanbao*: Treats postpartum wind-stroke with thirst and irritability. Five he of Honglanzi, lightly stir-fried and ground. Decoct in one sheng of water until seven he remain, and sip slowly. *Jinxiiao Fang*: Treats blood dizziness causing unconsciousness and irritability. Three liang of Honglanhua, preferably fresh. Half a sheng of unfiltered wine and half a sheng of child's urine. Boil until one da zhan remains, remove dregs, cool, and take at once. Decocting with fresh well-water is also good.
