苏
味辛，性温。主治降气，祛除中焦寒邪，其子疗效更佳。
陶弘景说：叶背呈紫色且气味非常芳香。那些叶背不紫、无香气类似荏（一种香草）的，称为野苏，不能入药。其子主治降气，与陈皮配合使用疗效更好。现在民间称之为紫苏。臣禹锡等人考证《尔雅》说：苏，即桂荏。解释为：苏，是荏类植物。因为它的味道辛辣类似荏，所以又名桂荏。《药性论》说：紫苏子，无毒，主治上逆之气咳嗽，治疗冷气及腰脚部位的湿风结气。将子研成汁煮粥食用很好，长期服用能使人身体肥白、体香。与高良姜、陈皮等量，制成蜜丸，空腹服用十丸。可排出一切宿积冷气和脚部湿风。叶子可以生吃，与各种鱼肉做羹汤，很好。孟诜说：紫苏，祛除寒热，治疗冷气。日华子说：紫苏，补益中气，治疗心腹胀满，止霍乱转筋，开胃进食并治疗一切冷气，止脚气病，通利大小肠。子主治调和中气，补益五脏，降气，止霍乱，呕吐，反胃，补虚劳，使人体格健壮，通利大小便，破除症结，消除五膈，止咳，润心肺，消痰气。
《图经本草》说：苏，就是紫苏。旧籍未记载其产地，如今到处都有。叶背紫色且气味非常芳香，夏季采集茎叶，秋季采集果实。其茎和叶，通心经，益脾胃，煮水饮用效果尤佳，与陈皮相宜，方剂中多用之。果实主治上逆之气咳嗽，使人肥壮健壮。若想宣发风毒，则单用茎，去掉节段效果很好。谨按《尔雅》称苏为桂荏。大概是因为它味道辛辣且形状类似荏，所以这样命名。然而苏有几种，有水苏、白苏、鱼苏、山鱼苏，都是白苏的茎，圆叶不紫，但也很有香气，果实也入药。鱼苏类似茵陈，叶子大且有香气，吴地人用它煮鱼，一名鱼[苏]。生长在山石间的称为山鱼苏，主治休息痢疾，大小便频数，研成干末，米汤调服。
《本经》未记载，南齐褚澄善于医术，担任吴郡太守，百姓李道念因公事到郡府，褚澄看见他说：你有重病。李道念回答：素有冷病，至今五年，众医未愈。褚澄诊断说：你的病非冷非热，应当是吃水煮鸡蛋过多所致，让人取苏一升，煮服，随即吐出一个如升大小的物体，被涎液包裹着，能动，打开看是小鸡雏，羽毛翅膀、爪子齐全，能行走。褚澄说：这还没完，再服用剩下的药，又吐出像刚才那样的小鸡十三只，而病就好了。是用蒜煮服用的。
雷公说：凡使用，不要用薄荷根茎，真像紫苏茎，但叶子不同。薄荷茎性燥，紫苏茎平和。凡使用，用刀刮去上面的青色薄皮，锉碎使用。《圣惠方》：治疗风邪，顺气，利肠道。用紫苏子一升微炒捣碎，用生绢袋盛装，放入三斗清酒中，浸泡三夜，少量饮用。又一方：治疗脚气及风寒湿痹，四肢挛急，脚后跟不能着地。用紫苏二两，捣碎，水二升，研取汁，用苏子汁煮粳米、豉、椒、姜食用。《外台秘要》：治疗梦遗失精。用子一升，炒捣为末，酒送服。方方∶治疗失血。紫苏不限多少，在大锅中加水煎煮，令干后去渣，熬膏，以赤[芍?]五十丸，常服，痊愈。《金匮方》：治疗食蟹中毒。紫苏煮汁饮三升，用子汁饮用也能治疗。凡是未经过霜的螃蟹多有毒。《丹房镜源》紫苏油，柔朱金润八石。
《衍义》说：苏，此指紫苏，正反两面都紫的好，味道微辛、甘，能发散，气味香。让人早晚喝它的汁水，是无益的。医家认为芳草会导致豪贵之人患病，这里就有一例。脾胃寒冷的人多喝会腹泻滑泄，往往人们没有察觉。子，
Su (Perilla)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature. Primarily directs Qi downward and dispels cold in the Middle Jiao; its seeds are particularly effective.
Tao Hongjing stated: The underside of the leaves is purple and the aroma is very fragrant. Those that are not purple on the underside and lack fragrance, resembling Ren (Elsholtzia ciliata), are called Wild Su and are unsuitable for medicinal use. Its seeds primarily direct Qi downward and are compatible with Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) for combined treatment. Currently, it is commonly known as Zi Su (Perilla Frutescens). Ministers Yu Xi and others verified according to *Erya*: "Su is Gui Ren." The explanation states: Su is a herb of the Ren category. Because its pungent flavor resembles Ren, it is also named Gui Ren. *Yao Xing Lun* states: Zi Su Zi (Perillae Fructus) is non-toxic, primarily treats rebellious Qi and cough, and manages Cold Qi and damp-wind stagnation in the waist and feet. Grinding the seeds into juice and cooking porridge is beneficial; long-term consumption makes the body plump, white, and fragrant. Combined with equal parts Gao Liang Jiang (Galangal Rhizome) and Chen Pi, formed into honey pills, taken empty stomach with ten pills. It expels all accumulated cold Qi and damp-wind in the legs. Leaves can be eaten raw, made into soup with various fish and meats, which is excellent. Meng Shen stated: Zi Su dispels cold and heat and treats cold Qi. Ri Hua Zi stated: Zi Su tonifies the Middle and benefits Qi, treats chest and abdominal fullness, stops Huo Luan (cholera-like syndrome) with muscle cramps, opens the appetite and aids digestion, treats all cold Qi, stops Hong Zhang Jiao (beriberi), and unblocks the Large and Small Intestines. Seeds primarily harmonize the Middle, benefit the Five Zang organs, direct Qi downward, stop Huo Luan, vomiting, and regurgitation, tonify deficiency and fatigue, make people robust, promote urination and defecation, break up masses, eliminate five types of Di (diaphragmatic obstruction), stop cough, moisten the lungs and heart, and resolve phlegm.
*TU Jing Ben Cao* states: Su refers to Zi Su. Old texts did not specify its origin, but it grows everywhere now. The underside of the leaves is purple and the aroma is very fragrant; stems and leaves are harvested in summer, fruits in autumn. The stems and leaves enter the Heart Meridian, benefit the Spleen and Stomach, and are especially effective when boiled as a drink; they are compatible with Chen Pi and frequently used in prescriptions. Fruits treat rebellious Qi and cough, making people plump and robust. If one wishes to ventilate wind toxins, using only the stem, removing the nodes, is highly effective. Verified according to *Erya*, Su is called Gui Ren. This is likely because its pungent flavor and shape resemble Ren, hence the name. However, there are several types of Su: Shui Su (Houttuynia cordata), Bai Su (White Perilla), Yu Su (Fish Perilla), and Shan Yu Su (Mountain Fish Perilla). All have white Su stems, round non-purple leaves, and are also very fragrant; their fruits also enter medicine. Yu Su resembles Yin Chen (Artemisia capillaris), has large leaves and is fragrant; people in Wu use it to cook fish, also known as Yu [Su]. Those growing between mountain rocks are called Shan Yu Su, primarily treating chronic dysentery and frequent urination/defecation; powdered dry form mixed with rice water.
*Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing* does not record it. Chu Cheng of Southern Qi was skilled in medicine and served as Governor of Wu Commandery. A commoner, Li Daonian, came to the commandery on official business. Chu Cheng saw him and said, "You have a serious illness." He replied, "I have had a chronic cold condition for five years, and many doctors could not cure it." Chu Cheng diagnosed, "Your illness is neither cold nor heat; it is likely caused by eating too many boiled eggs. Have someone take one sheng of Su, boil and administer it." He subsequently vomited an object the size of a sheng, wrapped in saliva, which moved. Opening it revealed a chick with complete feathers, wings, claws, and spurs, capable of walking. Chu Cheng said, "This is not finished; take the remaining medicine." He then vomited thirteen more chicks like the previous ones, and the illness was cured. It was administered cooked with garlic.
Lei Gong stated: When using, do not use Mint roots and stems, as they truly resemble Perilla stems, but the leaves differ. Mint stems are drying in nature, while Perilla stems are harmonious. When using, scrape off the thin green skin on the surface with a knife and chop before use. *Sheng Hui Fang*: Treats Wind pathogens, regulates Qi, and promotes intestinal function. Take one sheng of Zi Su Zi, lightly stir-fried and pounded, place in a raw silk bag, immerse in three dou of clear wine, soak for three nights, and drink in small amounts. Another prescription: Treats Jiao Qi (beriberi) and Bi syndrome due to wind-cold-dampness, limb spasms, and heels unable to touch the ground. Use two liang of Zi Su, pound until broken, add two sheng of water, grind to extract juice, and cook Jing Mi (Rice), Chi (Black Soybean), Jiao (Pepper), and Jiang (Ginger) in the Su seed juice for consumption. *Wai Tai Mi Yao*: Treats nocturnal emission. Take one sheng of seeds, roast and pound into powder, take with wine. Fang Fang: Treats blood loss. Use any amount of Zi Su, add water in a large pot, boil until dry, remove dregs, and simmer into a paste. Form into fifty pills with Chi [Shaoyao?], take regularly for recovery. *Jin Gui Fang*: Treats crab poisoning. Drink three sheng of juice boiled from Zi Su; drinking seed juice is also effective. Crabs that have not experienced frost often contain toxins. *Dan Fang Jing Yuan*: Perilla oil softens Cinnabar, Gold, and nourishes the Eight Stones.
*Yan Yi* states: Su refers to this Zi Su; those purple on both sides are superior. The flavor is slightly pungent and sweet, capable of dispersing, with a fragrant aroma. Drinking its juice morning and evening is of no benefit. Physicians believe that aromatic herbs cause diseases among the wealthy and noble; this is one instance. People with cold Spleen and Stomach who drink it excessively suffer from diarrhea and slipping; often people are unaware. Seeds,
