蜣螂
，用之最佳。五月五日取，蒸而藏之，临用当炙，勿置水中，令人吐。小儿疳虫方∶多用之。
蜣螂心，主疔疮。而《本经》不着。唐·刘禹锡纂《柳州救三死方》云∶元和十一年得疔疮
，凡十四日，日益笃，善药敷之皆莫能知，长乐贾方伯教用蜣螂心，一夕而百苦皆已。明年
正月食羊肉又大作，再用亦如神验。其法∶一味贴疮，半日许可再易，血尽根出遂愈。蜣螂
心
，腹下度取之，其肉稍白是也。所以云食羊肉又大作者，盖蜣螂畏羊肉故耳。用时须禁食羊
肉。其法盖出葛洪《肘后方》。又主箭镞入骨不可拔者，微熬巴豆与蜣螂并研匀，涂所
斯须痛定必微痒，且忍之，待极痒不可忍，便撼动箭镞拔之立出。此方∶传于夏候郓。郓

味咸，性寒，有毒。主治小儿惊风抽搐、腹部胀满、寒热往来，以及成人癫狂病（音同“羊”）。手足末端发冷，肢体胀满及奔豚气。又名（音同“结”）蜣（音同“羌”）。用火炒制效果良好。生长于长沙的池塘沼泽地带。五月五日采集，蒸过后储藏，临用时使用。
陶隐居说：《庄子》记载：“蜣螂的智慧，在于滚动粪球。”它喜欢进入人粪中，取出屎丸向后推滚，俗称为“推丸”。应当选取体型大的，这类昆虫有三四种，以鼻头扁平的为正品。唐本注说：《名医别录》记载，捣碎做成丸药，塞入肛门下部，可引出痔虫排尽，永久治愈。臣禹锡等人谨按蜀本草图经记载：这类昆虫种类很多，选取鼻高眼深的，名叫胡蜣螂，现在各地都有。药性论记载：蜣螂为使药，主治小儿疳积虫蚀。日华子说：能堕胎，治疗注忤病，与干姜混合敷治恶疮，可拔出箭头，其粪便堵塞痔疮可排出虫体。入药需去足后炒用。
图经记载：蜣螂生长于长沙池泽，如今到处都有。种类极多，选取大的。又有鼻高眼深的，名叫胡蜣螂，使用效果最佳。五月五日采集，蒸后储藏，临用时应当炙烤，不要放入水中，否则令人呕吐。小儿疳虫方：多用此药。蜣螂心，主治疔疮。但《神农本草经》未收录。唐代刘禹锡编纂的《柳州救三死方》记载：元和十一年患疔疮，共十四天，病情日益加重，用好药敷贴均无效，长乐贾方伯教用蜣螂心，一夜之间百苦皆消。次年正月吃羊肉后又严重发作，再用此法也如神效。方法：单味药贴敷疮口，半天后可再更换，血尽根出即愈。取蜣螂心，从腹部下方度量取得，肉质稍白即是。之所以说吃羊肉后病情大发作，是因为蜣螂畏惧羊肉的缘故。使用时须禁食羊肉。此法出自葛洪《肘后方》。又主治箭镞深入骨头无法拔出的情况，微炒巴豆与蜣螂一起研匀，涂在受伤处，片刻后疼痛停止必然微痒，且要忍耐，等到极痒难以忍受时，便晃动箭镞拔出，立刻出来。此方传自夏侯郓。郓初任阆州录事参军时，有人额上有箭痕，询问得知：随马侍中征讨田悦时被射伤，马侍中给此药，立刻可拔出箭镞，后用生肌膏药敷贴，便无痛苦，因此获得此方。此人说：各种疮疡也可治疗。郓得到此方后，到洪州旅店，店主妻子患疮，呻吟声极响，用此药试之，立刻痊愈。又主治沙尘入眼无法取出的情况，取活蜣螂一枚。
陈藏器说：治疗蜂螫。烧死蜣螂研末，和醋敷贴。圣惠方：治疗一切恶疮及沙虱水弩、恶疽，都能治疗。用蜣螂十枚，端午日收集的干燥者佳。捣成末，油调敷贴。外台秘要：治疗疣疮风。取路途中死的蜣螂捣烂，周围有恶疮，尚未识别的。取蜣螂捣碎，绞取汁液，敷在上面。刘涓子：治疗鼠瘘。死蜣螂研末，用醋调和敷贴，多次使用。
Scarabaeus (Kuanglang)
Taste: Salty. Nature: Cold. Toxicity: Toxic. Indications: Primarily treats pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, abdominal distension, alternating chills and fever, and adult manic psychosis (pronunciation: yang). Coldness in the extremities of hands and feet, limb fullness, and Ben Tun Qi (fleeing gas). Also known as (pronunciation: jie) Kuang (pronunciation: qiang). Fire-roasting is effective. Grows in ponds and marshes of Changsha. Collected on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, steamed, and stored for use when needed.
Tao Hongjing states: The "Zhuangzi" records, "The wisdom of the scarab lies in rolling balls." It prefers to enter human feces, taking out fecal pellets and pushing them backward, commonly called "pushing pills." One should select large specimens; there are three or four varieties, with those having flat snouts considered authentic. Tang Ben Zhu notes: "Mingyi Bielu" records that crushing it into pills and inserting them into the lower anus can draw out hemorrhoid worms completely, leading to permanent cure. Ministers Yuxi et al., according to the Shu Ben Tu Jing, state: There are many types of this insect; those with high snouts and deep eyes are named Hu Kuanglang (Wild Scarab), which are now found everywhere. Yao Xing Lun states: Kuanglang serves as a guiding drug, primarily treating pediatric malnutrition caused by parasitic erosion. Ri Hua Zi states: It can induce abortion, treat Zh Wu disease (infectious wasting syndrome), and when mixed with dried ginger, applied to malignant sores, it can extract arrowheads; its feces inserted into hemorrhoids can expel worms. For medicinal use, remove legs and stir-fry.
Tu Jing states: Kuanglang grows in Changsha's ponds and marshes but is now ubiquitous. Varieties are numerous; select the large ones. Those with high snouts and deep eyes, named Hu Kuanglang, are best for use. Collected on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, steamed and stored. When used, it must be roasted, not placed in water, otherwise it causes vomiting. Pediatric Malnutrition Parasite Formula: Uses this drug frequently. Kuanglang Xin (Heart of Scarab) treats Ding Chuang (carbuncle), though it is not listed in the "Shennong Ben Cao Jing". Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty compiled in "Liuzhou Jiu San Si Fang": In the 11th year of Yuanhe, he suffered from a carbuncle for fourteen days, worsening daily; various good medicines failed. Jia Fangbo of Changle taught using Kuanglang Xin, after one night all pains ceased. In January of the following year, eating mutton caused a severe recurrence; using it again proved miraculous. Method: Apply the single ingredient to the sore, replace every half day. Once blood is exhausted and the root emerges, it heals. Extract the heart from the ventral side; the flesh is slightly white. The reason eating mutton causes severe recurrence is that scarabs fear mutton. Mutton must be avoided during treatment. This method originates from Ge Hong's "Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang". It also treats arrowheads embedded in bone that cannot be extracted. Lightly roast Ba Dou (Croton Seed) and Kuanglang, grind together evenly, apply to the injury. After a moment, pain stops and slight itching occurs; endure it. When itching becomes unbearable, shake the arrowhead to extract it immediately. This formula was passed down from Xiahou Yun. When Yun first served as Registrar of Langzhou, a man had an arrow scar on his forehead. He explained he was shot while serving Marshal Ma in the campaign against Tian Yue. Marshal Ma gave him this medicine, allowing immediate extraction. Later, applying Sheng Ji Gao (Regenerating Ointment) cured him without pain, thus obtaining the formula. The source said: It can also treat various sores. After Yun obtained the formula, at an inn in Hongzhou, the owner's wife suffered from sores with extreme groaning. Testing this medicine cured her immediately. It also treats sand or dust entering the eye that cannot be removed. Take one live Kuanglang.
Chen Cangqi states: Treats bee stings. Burn dead Kuanglang to powder, mix with vinegar, and apply. Sheng Hui Fang: Treats all malignant sores, Sha Shi Shui Nu (sand fly bites/water弩), and malignant abscesses. Use ten Kuanglang; those collected on Dragon Boat Festival and dried are best. Pound into powder, mix with oil, and apply. Wai Tai Mi Yao: Treats You Chuang Feng (verrucous wind). Take dead Kuanglang found on roads, pound until paste-like. If there are malignant sores around that are unidentified. Pound Kuanglang, squeeze out juice, and apply. Liu Juanzi: Treats Shu Lou (scrofula/rat fistula). Powder dead Kuanglang, mix with sour wine (vinegar), and apply. Repeat several times.
Yan Yi states: There are two sizes of Kuanglang: One large type is Hu Kuanglang, black and shiny body, with small yellow spots under the abdominal wings. Larvae attach to the mother and fly away completely.
