蛇全（“全”字应为“含”字）
味苦，性微寒，无毒。主治惊痫、寒热邪气，清除内热，治疗金疮、疽病、痔疮及鼠瘘恶疮；能消除心腹部的邪气，缓解腹痛和湿痹，安胎，并利于小儿健康。又名蛇衔。产于益州的山区山谷中。八月采集，阴干备用。
陶隐居说：这就是蛇衔。蛇衔有两种，都生长在石头上。应当选用细叶黄花的那种，各地都有生长。它也生长在黄土地里，不一定都生在石头上。《唐本草》注解说：“全”字其实是“含”字。陶弘景看到的是错误版本，应该改为“含”。“含”与“衔”意义相同，见载于古代本草著作中。现在考察陈藏器的《本草》，记载蛇衔主治蛇咬伤。种植它，也能让周围没有蛇。如果把这种草塞进蛇嘴里，即使蛇咬人，也没有毒性了。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》记载：生长在石上及下方的湿地。花黄白色，百姓人家也种植它，五月采集苗叶，生用。《药性论》记载：蛇衔，属臣药，有毒。能治疗丹疹，治疗小儿寒热。日华子说：蛇含能治疗被蛇虫、蜂虺所伤，以及眼红、止血、风疹、痈肿。茎和叶都可以使用。又名威蛇。
《图经》说：蛇含，产于益州山谷。现在外地也有生长。生长在土石上或下方的湿地。蜀地百姓人家也种植它。一茎五叶或七叶。这有两种。应当选用细叶黄色花的为佳。八月采集根部，阴干。《古今录验方》：治疗赤疹。用蛇衔草，捣烂至极，外敷即可痊愈。赤疹，是由于冷湿搏结于肌肉之中，严重则化为热，从而形成赤疹。遇到天热则病情加重，遇冷则减轻。古今各种治疗丹毒疮肿的方剂通用此药。另外下文有女青条记载：蛇衔根，产于朱崖。陶隐居、苏恭都认为如果是蛇衔根，不应该只生长在朱崖。有人说这是雀瓢，即萝摩的别名。也有人说这两种东西同名，因为相似的缘故。医家很少使用，也很少辨别，所以只是附记在此处。
雷公说：凡使用蛇含，不要用尖叶的，那种叫竟命草，它的叶子中间是空的，只有酸涩味，不能入药使用。如果误服，会导致吐血不止，迅速服用知时子可以解其毒。采得后，去掉根、茎，只取叶子，细细切碎晒干，不要让火接触。《肘后方》：治疗金疮。也是捣烂外敷，效果很好。另一个方子：治疗蜈蚣螫人，用蛇含草揉碎外敷。《斗门方》：治疗产后泻痢。用小龙牙根一把，浓煎服用，非常有效。小龙牙就是蛇含。抱朴子说：蛇衔膏，能连接已经断掉的指头。晋代《异苑》记载：有个农夫看见一条蛇受伤，又看见蛇衔草放在它的伤口上。过了几天，受伤的蛇离开了，农夫于是采集这种草来治疗疮疡，都很灵验。于是命名为蛇衔草。
Snake Han (The character "Quan" should be "Han")
Bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic. Primarily treats convulsions and epilepsy (Jingxian), pathogenic factors of cold and heat, clears internal heat, treats metal wounds (Jinchuang), carbuncles (Ju), hemorrhoids, and malignant ulcers such as rat fistula (Shu); eliminates pathogenic factors in the heart and abdomen, relieves abdominal pain and damp-bi syndrome, nourishes the fetus, and benefits children. Also known as She Xian. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Yizhou. Harvested in August, dried in the shade.
Tao Hongjing states: This is She Xian. There are two types of She Xian, both growing on rocks. The one with fine leaves and yellow flowers should be used; it is found everywhere. It also grows in loess soil, not necessarily only on rocks. The annotation in *Tang Bencao* notes: The character "Quan" is actually "Han". Tao Hongjing saw an erroneous version and it should be corrected to "Han". "Han" and "Xian" have the same meaning, as seen in ancient Materia Medica texts. Currently examining Chen Cangqi's *Bencao*: She Xian primarily treats snake bites. Planting it can also prevent snakes from appearing. If this herb is placed in a snake's mouth, even if the snake bites someone, it will not be venomous. Ministers Yu Xi et al. respectfully note according to *Shu Ben Tu Jing*: Grows on rocks and in lower wetlands. Flowers are yellow-white; households also plant it. Harvest the seedlings in May, use raw. *Yaoxing Lun* records: She Xian is a minister herb, toxic. It can treat erysipelas (Dan Zhen) and childhood cold-heat syndromes. Ri Huazi states: She Han can treat injuries from snakes, insects, bees, and vipers, as well as red eyes, stop bleeding, wind-rash, and abscesses/swellings. Both stems and leaves are usable. Also named Wei She.
*Tujing* states: She Han grows in the mountains and valleys of Yizhou. It is now also found in other regions. It grows on earth/rocks or in lower wetlands. Households in Shu also plant it. One stem has five or seven leaves. There are two varieties. The one with fine leaves and yellow flowers is superior. Harvest the roots in August, dry in the shade. *Gujin Luyuan Fang*: Treats erysipelas. Use She Xian grass, pound until extremely soft, and apply externally for recovery. Erysipelas arises from cold-dampness clashing within the muscles; when severe, it transforms into heat, forming erysipelas. Symptoms worsen in hot weather and improve in cold. It is commonly used in various ancient and modern formulas for treating carbuncle toxins and swellings. Furthermore, under the entry for Nu Qing, it is recorded: She Han root grows in Zhuya. Tao Hongjing and Su Gong both believed that if it were She Han root, it should not grow exclusively in Zhuya. Some say it is Que Piao, which is another name for Metaplexis japonica (Luomo). Others say the two items share the same name due to their similarity. Physicians rarely use it and seldom distinguish it, so it is merely attached here.
Lei Gong states: When using it, do not use those with pointed leaves, known as Jing Ming Cao. Its leaves are hollow in the middle and only sour/astringent, unsuitable for medicinal use. If mistakenly ingested, causing continuous hematemesis, quickly consume Zhishi Zi to resolve the toxicity. After harvesting, remove roots and stems, take only the leaves, cut finely, and sun-dry; avoid fire contact. *Zhouhou Fang*: Treats metal wounds. Pound and apply externally, which is good. Another formula: Treats centipede stings. Rub She Han grass and apply externally. *Doumen Fang*: Treats postpartum diarrhea and dysentery. Use one handful of Xiao Longya root, decoct strongly, and drink; very effective. Xiao Longya is She Han. *Baopuzi* states: She Han ointment can reconnect severed fingers. Jin Dynasty's *Yi Yuan* records: A farmer saw a wounded snake, and then saw She Han grass placed on its wound. After a few days, the wounded snake left. The farmer then collected this grass to treat sores, all proving effective. Thus it was named She Xian Cao.
