\r藿香\pd302.bmp\r
微温。疗风水毒肿,去恶气,疗霍乱心痛。
臣禹锡等谨按南州异物志云∶藿香出海边国,形如都梁,可着衣服中。南方草木状云∶
味
图经曰∶藿香,旧附五香条,不着所出州土,今岭南郡多有之,人家亦多种植。二月
生苗,茎梗甚密,作丛,叶似桑而小薄,六月、七月采之,曝干,乃芬香,须黄色然后可收。
又《金楼子》及《俞益期笺》皆云∶扶南国人言∶众香共是一木。根便是梅檀,节是沉水,
花是鸡舌,叶是藿香,胶是薰陆。详《本经》所以与沉香等共条,盖义出于此。然今南中所
有,乃是草类。《南方草木状》云∶藿香,榛生,吏民自种之,正相符合也。范晔和香方云∶
零
别说云谨按藿香《图经》云∶二月生苗,旧虽附五香条中,今详枝梗殊非木类,恐当移
入草部尔。又鸡舌香,补注引《药性论》及《齐民要术》,《图经》引《三省故事》及《千金
》,皆谓是母丁香。又引《抱朴子》用入眼方,则其说自相矛盾。若《药性论》谓入香中,
令人身香及为丁子香,则可以为母丁香。若《抱朴子》为可入眼,则丁香恐非宜入眼。若含
香者,则丁香含之,口中热臭不可近,盖尝试之。若以乳香中所拣者含之,虽无香味,却得
口中无臭,以其无味,故有诸淡利九窍之理。诸方多用治小儿惊痫,亦欲达九窍也。又下条
丁香注所说用丁香,自当用母者,然未知其果否也。又薰陆、乳香,《图经》有云∶今人无
复别者。今按西出天竺、单于,南出波斯等国,西来者色黄白,南来者色赤紫。《图经》称
木生海边沙上,盛夏木胶出,则是日久相重叠者,不成乳头,杂以土石,其成乳者,是新出
,未杂沙石也。薰陆,总名也。乳者,是薰陆之乳头也。今松脂、枫脂中,亦皆如是者多矣
藿香
微温。治疗风水毒肿,去除恶气,治疗霍乱引起的心痛。
臣禹锡等人谨按《南州异物志》记载:藿香出产于海边的国家,形状像都梁香,可以放在衣服中(熏香)。《南方草木状》记载:
味道
《图经》说:藿香,旧时附在五香条下,不注明出产的州土,现在岭南郡多有生长,百姓人家也多种植。二月
生苗,茎梗非常密集,成丛生长,叶子像桑叶但较小较薄,六月、七月采集,晒干后,散发芬香,必须等到黄色然后才可以采收。
又《金楼子》及《俞益期笺》都说:扶南国人说:各种香料共同来自一棵树。根就是檀香,节是沉香,
花是鸡舌香,叶是藿香,胶是薰陆香。详查《本经》所以将藿香与沉香等列在同一条目下,大概义理出于此。然而现在南方所产的,乃是草类。《南方草木状》说:藿香,丛生,官吏百姓自己种植它,正相符合。范晔和香方说:
零
别说云谨按藿香《图经》说:二月生苗,旧时虽附在五香条中,现在详细考察枝梗殊非木类,恐怕应当移
入草部。又鸡舌香,补注引用《药性论》及《齐民要术》,《图经》引用《三省故事》及《千金方》,都说它是母丁香。又引用《抱朴子》用入眼方,那么它的说法自相矛盾。如果《药性论》说放入香料中,使人身体香以及作为丁子香,那么可以作为母丁香。如果《抱朴子》说可用于入眼,那么丁香恐怕不适合入眼。如果含在香中的,那么丁香含在口中,口中热臭不可靠近,大概是尝试过。如果用乳香中拣选的含在口中,虽然没有香味,却得到口中无臭,因为它无味,所以有诸淡利九窍的道理。各方多用治小儿惊痫,也是想通达九窍。又下条
丁香注所说用丁香,自然应当用母的,然而不知道是否果真如此。又薰陆、乳香,《图经》有说:现在人没有再分别了。现在考察西出天竺、单于,南出波斯等国,西来的色黄白,南来的色赤紫。《图经》称
木生海边沙上,盛夏木胶出,则是日久相重叠者,不成乳头,杂以土石,其成乳的,是新出的,未杂沙石。薰陆,总名。乳,是薰陆的乳头。现在松脂、枫脂中,也都是像这样的很多了
Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb)
Slightly warm. Treats wind-water toxic swelling, removes foul qi, and treats heart pain caused by huoluan (cholera-like syndrome).
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite the *Nanzhou Yiwu Zhi* stating: Huoxiang originates from countries by the sea; its shape resembles Duliang incense and can be placed in clothing for fragrance. The *Nanfang Caomu Zhuang* states:
Taste
The *Tujing* says: Huoxiang was previously listed under the "Five Fragrances" section without specifying its origin. Currently, it is abundant in the Lingnan commanderies, and households often cultivate it. It sprouts in the second lunar month, with dense stems growing in clumps; the leaves resemble mulberry leaves but are smaller and thinner. It is harvested in the sixth and seventh lunar months, dried in the sun until fragrant, and collected only when it turns yellow.
Furthermore, both the *Jinlouzi* and the *Yu Yiqi Jian* state that people of Funan say: All spices come from one tree. The root is sandalwood, the nodes are agarwood, the flowers are ji she xiang (Clove), the leaves are Huoxiang, and the resin is Xunlu incense. Examining why the *Benjing* grouped Huoxiang with Chenxiang (Agarwood), the rationale likely stems from this belief. However, what exists in the south today is a herbaceous plant. The *Nanfang Caomu Zhuang* notes: Huoxiang grows in thickets, cultivated by officials and commoners, which aligns perfectly. Fan Ye's Incense Formula states:
Ling
Bieshuo Yun respectfully cites the *Tujing*: Huoxiang sprouts in the second lunar month. Although previously attached to the Five Fragrances section, upon detailed examination, its stems and branches are clearly not woody, so it should arguably be moved to the Herbal section. Regarding Ji She Xiang (Clove), the supplementary notes cite the *Yaoxing Lun* and *Qimin Yaoshu*, while the *Tujing* cites the *Sansheng Gushi* and *Qianjin Fang*, all identifying it as Mu Dingxiang (Female Clove). Furthermore, citing the *Baopuzi* for eye applications creates internal contradictions. If the *Yaoxing Lun* suggests it imparts fragrance to the body or serves as Dingzi Xiang, it could be considered Female Clove. However, if the *Baopuzi* claims it is suitable for eye application, Clove is likely unsuitable for eyes. Testing this, holding Clove in the mouth causes heat and foul odor, making it unbearable. Conversely, holding selected Milk Incense (Ruxiang) in the mouth, though lacking fragrance, eliminates oral odor due to its tastelessness, supporting the theory that bland substances benefit the nine orifices. Many formulas use it to treat pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, aiming to open the nine orifices. Regarding the note on Dingxiang below, it specifies using the female variety, though its efficacy remains uncertain. Regarding Xunlu and Ruxiang, the *Tujing* states that modern people no longer distinguish them. Current analysis shows origins from Tianzhu (India) and Shanyu in the west, and Persia in the south. Western imports are yellowish-white, while southern imports are reddish-purple. The *Tujing* describes wood growing on seaside sands, where summer resin exudes; aged resin overlaps and does not form nipple shapes, mixing with soil and stones. Freshly formed resin is new and unmixed. "Xunlu" is the general name, while "Ru" refers to the nipple-shaped resin of Xunlu. Similar occurrences are found in Pine Resin and Maple Resin.
