麋脂味道辛，性温，无毒。主治痈肿、恶疮、坏死的肌肉，寒湿引起的风湿痹痛，四肢拘挛弛缓不能收持，头部风邪引起的肿胀气滞，能疏通腠理（皮肤纹理及汗孔），使皮肤柔润。不可接触阴部，否则会导致阳痿。又名官脂。（畏惧大黄。）
臣禹锡等人谨按孟诜所说：麋肉，能益气补中，治疗腰脚酸痛。不能与雉肉同食。谨按麋肉本身没有特别的药用功效，食用它对五脏的补益也很微弱，不足以补气，多吃会让人房事功能减弱，引发脚气病。麋骨，去除虚劳的效果极好。可以煮骨头取汁，用来酿酒饮用，能让人身体丰肥、面色白皙、容颜美好。
麋角味甘，无毒。主治痹证，止血，益气力。产于南山山谷及淮水海边。十月采集。
陶隐居说：现在海陵地区最多，成百上千成群，多为雌性少雄性。人们说一只雄性就会交配十余只雌性，交配完毕后即死亡。它的脂肪掉落在土中，经过一年，人得到它才：好，名叫遁脂，用酒送服效果极佳。寻思麋的习性竟然如此淫乐，不应该导致人阴部痿废。另一说法：说不可接触阴部，导致阴部不痿，这才有道理。麋肉不可与虾以及生菜、梅子、李子、果实一起食用，都会成为病患。其角刮……
《唐本注》说：麋茸，服用它的功力胜过鹿茸，煮成胶也胜过白胶。说游牝（交配）完毕就死亡的，这也是虚假的传闻，遍问山林泽野之人，没听说因游牝而导致死亡的。
臣禹锡等人谨按：补虚劳，填精髓。处理角的法度：可截取五寸长，从中间剖开，烤至发出黄香味后捣碎成末。空腹时和酒服用三钱匕。如果突然心痛，一次服用立即痊愈。常服用能让人面色红润如花朵，补益阳气之道，不知为何与肉的功用不同。也可以煎制成胶，与鹿角胶功效相同。茸，非常胜过鹿茸，仙方：非常重视。又治男子冷气及风邪，筋骨疼痛。做成粉长期服用。又在浆水中研磨成泥，涂面使其不起皱纹，光泽可爱。又常俗人以皮做靴熏治脚气。陈士良说：麋，大……
日华子说：角，添精补髓，益血脉，暖腰膝，悦色，壮阳，疗风气，偏治男子胜于鹿角。按《月令》：麋角属阴，夏至时节角脱落，盖因为一阴生也。治疗腰膝麻木不仁，补一切血病。
《图经》在第十七卷鹿茸条下已有详细记载。
《肘后方》：葛氏治疗年少气盛，面部生疮，涂抹麋脂即愈。经验方：治疗老人骨髓虚竭。补益麋茸煎：麋茸五两，去毛，涂酥烤微黄后捣成末，用清酒二升，在银锅中慢火熬成膏，盛放在瓷器中。每次服用半匙，温水调下，空腹食前服用。何君谟云按《礼记·月令》：仲夏鹿角解，仲冬麋角解。日华子……
兽，夏至得阴气而解角，麋是泽兽，故冬……象。鹿是阳兽，情淫而游山，夏至得阴而解角，是从阳退之象。沈存中《笔谈》说麋茸利补阳，鹿茸利补阴，壮骨髓。茹茸太嫩长数寸，破之如朽木。端如玛KT红玉者最善。青麋是大鹿。不如麂，似獐有毒。
The taste is pungent, the nature is warm, and it is non-toxic. It primarily treats carbuncles and swellings (Yongzhong), foul sores (Echuang), and necrotic tissue (Simu); wind-damp bi syndrome caused by cold-dampness; flaccidity and inability to control the limbs (Sijian juhuan bu shou); swelling and qi stagnation in the head due to wind pathogen; it unblocks the couli (pores and interstices) and softens the skin. It should not come into contact with the genitalia, as it may cause impotence (Wei). Another name is Guanzhi. (It fears Dahuang, Rhizoma Rhei.)
Minister Yuxi and others respectfully cite Meng Shen: "Deer meat (Miroccus albirostris meat) benefits Qi and tonifies the middle jiao, treating soreness and weakness of the waist and legs. It should not be eaten together with pheasant meat. Respectfully, the meat itself has no special medicinal efficacy; its nourishment for the five zang organs is slight and insufficient to tonify Qi. Excessive consumption weakens sexual function and induces jiaogixie (beriberi/foot disease). The bone is excellent for eliminating deficiency-wasting conditions (Xulao). One can boil the bones to extract juice, brew wine with it, and drink it; this makes one plump, white-complexioned, and beautiful."
The horn tastes sweet and is non-toxic. It treats bi syndrome, stops bleeding, and benefits Qi and strength. It grows in the valleys of Mount Nan and along the Huai River coast. It is harvested in the tenth month.
Tao Hongjing says: "Currently, it is most abundant in Hailing, forming herds of thousands, mostly female and few male. People say that one male mates with over ten females, and dies immediately after mating. Its fat falls into the soil; after a year, if obtained by humans: it is good, named Dunzhi, and taken with wine, it is very effective. Considering the nature of the deer is so lustful, it should not cause human genital impotence. Another theory states: saying it should not approach the genitals, causing them not to become flaccid, this has reason. Deer meat should not be eaten with shrimp, raw vegetables, plums, peaches, or fruits, as these combinations induce pathology. Its horn scraped..."
*Bencao Tujing* (Newly Illustrated Materia Medica) notes: "Milu velvet antler (Mirui), when taken, has greater efficacy than Lu rong (Deer Antler Velvet); boiled into gelatin, it surpasses Baijiao (Pigskin Gelatin). The claim that they die after mating is also a false rumor; asking people in mountains and marshes everywhere, none have heard of death resulting from mating. Minister Yuxi and others respectfully note: Tonifies deficiency-wasting, fills the marrow. Method for processing the horn: Cut into five-cun segments, split in the middle, roast until yellow and fragrant, then powder. Take three qianbi with wine on an empty stomach. If sudden heart pain occurs, one dose brings immediate recovery. Regular use makes the complexion red and white like flowers, benefits the Yang pathway. It is unknown why its efficacy differs from the meat. It can also be decocted into gelatin, having the same efficacy as Lujiaojiao (Deer Antler Glue). The velvet is far superior to deer velvet. Immortal prescription: Highly valued. Also treats men's cold qi and wind, causing bone and tendon pain. Make into powder for long-term use. Or grind in fermented grain water into a paste, apply to the face to prevent wrinkles, making it lustrous and lovely. Common people also use leather boots to fumigate feet for jiaoxi (athlete's foot). Chen Shiliang says: 'Mi, large...'"
Rihua Zi says: "The horn adds essence and tonifies marrow, benefits blood vessels, warms the waist and knees, beautifies the complexion, strengthens Yang, treats wind-pathogen, and is particularly effective for men, surpassing deer horn. According to *Yueling*: 'The deer horn belongs to Yin; at Summer Solstice, the horns shed, because one Yin arises.' It treats numbness and insensitivity of the waist and knees, and tonifies all blood diseases."
*Tujing* details are recorded under the entry for Deer Antler Velvet in Volume 17.
*Zhouhou Fang*: "Ge Shi treats young people with excessive Qi and facial sores; applying Milu fat cures them. Empirical Prescription: Treats elderly people with exhausted bone marrow. Tonifying Milu Velvet Decoction: Five liang of Milu velvet, remove hair, coat with butter, roast until slightly yellow, powder. Use two sheng of clear wine, slowly simmer in a silver pot into a paste, store in porcelain. Take half a spoon each time, mixed with warm water, taken before meals on an empty stomach. He Junmo cites *Book of Rites · Yueling*: 'In mid-summer, deer horns shed; in mid-winter, milu horns shed.' Rihua Zi... Beast. At Summer Solstice, receiving Yin Qi, horns shed; Mi is a marsh beast, thus winter... Image. Lu is a Yang beast, lustful and roaming mountains, at Summer Solstice receiving Yin sheds horns, symbolizing retreating from Yang. Shen Cunzhong's *Bitan* states Milu velvet benefits tonifying Yang, Lu rong benefits tonifying Yin, strengthening bone marrow. Ru rong too tender, several inches long, breaks like rotten wood. Ends like agate/red jade are best. Qingmi is a large deer. Inferior to ji, resembles zhang but is toxic."
