味甘，性微温，无毒。主治下痢脓血，补益中气，接续绝伤，治疗金疮，益气，使人不感到饥饿，延缓衰老。
白蜡：治疗长期腹泻、里急后重且排出白色脓液的症状，补益绝伤，对小儿有益。长期服用可身体轻盈，不感饥饿。产于武都山谷，生于蜂蜜房或树木上。
陶隐居说：这就是蜜蜡，生于蜂蜜之中，所以称为蜜蜡。蜜蜂先以此作为巢基（音只），煎炼蜂蜜时也能得到它，起初气味极香且质地柔软。人们再次煮炼，或者加入少许醋、酒，颜色就会变成黄赤色，以用作蜡烛的颜色为最佳。现在医药家都应用白蜡，只需将其削碎，在夏季烈日下曝晒约一百天，自然变白。如果急需使用，也可以熔化，放入水中反复漂洗十余次，也会变白。民间偏方：仅用它来合制治疗下痢的丸药，而《仙经》中认为断谷（辟谷）时最为重要和必需，现在的人只要咀嚼食用方寸大小的蜜蜡，也能一天不感到饥饿。唐本注说：去掉“蜜”字为佳，因为“蜜”已经在石蜜条中记载过了。臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》说：白蜡，为使药，味甘，性平，无毒。主治孕妇胎动不安如鸡蛋大小，煎煮熔化三至五沸，加入半斤美酒服用，病即痊愈。主治白发，拔去白发，将熔化的蜡点入发孔中，头发即能重新长出黑色的。与松脂、杏仁、枣肉、茯苓等分混合制成丸药，饭后服用五十丸，便不感到饥饿，功效很多。又说：主治下痢脓血。

葛氏方：治疗被狗咬伤后严重发作的情况。用火炙烤蜡，灌入伤口中。又一方：治疗狐尿刺入引起的肿痛。用热蜡敷在伤口中。又烟方：湖南押衙颜思退传授：治疗头风牵引疼痛。取蜜蜡二斤，盐半斤混合，在罗筛中熔化使其融合，捏成头盔形状，大小适合包裹头部。戴在头上直到额头，头痛立即停止。集验方：治疗雀目（夜盲症）灵验如神。黄蜡不限多少，在容器内熔化成汁，取出，加入蛤粉调和制成丸球。每次使用时用刀切下二钱，将猪肝二两剖开，将药物掺入其中，用麻绳扎紧。用水一碗，同煮并熏蒸眼睛。待温度适宜时，冷却后将肝和药一起吃掉，每日两次，以平安无事为限度。姚和众：治疗小儿脚部冻伤，如果有疮口，就浓煎蜡，涂抹患处。

Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats dysentery with pus and blood, tonifies the middle jiao (middle energizer), repairs severe injuries and trauma, treats metal wounds (lacerations from weapons), benefits qi, prevents hunger, and delays aging.
White beeswax: Treats chronic diarrhea, tenesmus (a feeling of incomplete defecation) with discharge of white pus, repairs severe injuries, and is beneficial for children. Long-term consumption lightens the body and prevents hunger. It grows in the valleys of Wudu, produced within honeycombs or on trees.
Tao Hongjing stated: This is beeswax, born within honey, hence called "honey wax." Bees first use this as the foundation for their combs; it can also be obtained when boiling down honey. Initially, it is extremely fragrant and soft. People re-boil and refine it, or add a little vinegar or wine, turning it yellowish-red; using it for candle-making yields the best color. Currently, medical practitioners all apply white beeswax. One simply shaves it and exposes it to the summer sun for about one hundred days, and it naturally turns white. If needed urgently, it can also be melted and washed in water more than ten times, becoming white. Folk prescriptions: It is only used to compound pills for treating dysentery, whereas the *Immortal Classic* (*Xian Jing*) considers it most essential for grain avoidance (Bigu/fasting). Now, people who merely chew and consume a square-inch piece of it can go a day without hunger. The *Tang Ben Cao* annotation states: Removing the character "honey" is better, as "honey" has already been recorded under the Rock Honey section. Ministers Yuxi et al. respectfully followed the *Yao Xing Lun* stating: White beeswax, used as an envoy drug, sweet in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats pregnant women experiencing fetal restlessness resembling the size of an egg; boil until three to five boils occur, add half a jin of fine wine, and take it, and the condition will improve. It treats white hair; pluck out the white hairs, apply melted wax into the follicles, and black hair will grow back. Mix equal parts of pine resin, apricot kernels, jujube flesh, and Poria cocos, form into pills, take fifty pills after meals, and hunger will cease; its functions are numerous. It also states: It primarily treats dysentery with pus and blood.
The content of *Tu Jing Ben Cao* is detailed under the Rock Honey section.
Ge's Prescription: Treats severe recurrence after dog bites. Heat the wax over fire and pour it into the wound. Another prescription: Treats swelling and pain caused by fox urine irritation. Apply hot wax to the wound. Another smoke prescription: Passed down by Yan Situi, Bailya of Hunan: Treats headache pulling pain caused by wind-cold. Take two jin of beeswax and half a jin of salt, mix them, melt them together in a sieve, mold into a helmet shape, sized to fit the head. Place it on the head extending to the forehead, and headache stops immediately. Ji Yan Fang: Treats nyctalopia (night blindness) with divine efficacy. Yellow beeswax, amount unspecified, melt into liquid in a vessel, remove, mix with appropriate amounts of clam powder to form balls. Each time, cut off two qian with a knife, split open two liang of pig liver, insert the medicine inside, tie tightly with hemp rope. Use one bowl of water, heat together and steam the eyes. When warm, cool down and eat both the liver and medicine together, twice daily, until peace and health are restored. Yao Hezhong: Treats frostbite on children's feet; if there are sores, boil the wax thickly and apply it.
