任食之。良。又主五脏邪气，服之便瘥。空心服之佳。〔嘉·证〕
（二）肠肚∶微寒。患疮疥久不差，作羹 食之。小儿惊痫及大人见鬼，亦作羹 食之
良。其狐魅状候∶或叉手有礼见人，或于静处独语，或 形见人，或 揖无度，或多语，或
紧合口，叉手坐，礼度过，常尿屎乱放，此之谓也。如马疫亦同，灌鼻中便瘥。〔证〕
患蛊毒寒热，宜多服之。〔嘉〕
（三）头∶烧，辟邪。〔证〕
（一）獭肝∶主疰病相染，一门悉患者，以肝一具，火炙，末以水和方寸匕服之，日再

只治热，不治冷，不可一概尔。〔嘉〕
（一）肉∶平，味酸。〔证〕
主服丹石劳热。患赤白痢多时不瘥者，可煮肉经宿露中，明日空腹和酱食之一顿，即瘥
。〔嘉〕
（二）又，瘦人可和五味煮食，令人长脂肉肥白。曾服丹石，可时时服之。丹石恶发热
，服之妙。〔嘉〕
（三）骨∶主上气咳嗽，炙末。酒和三合服之。日二，其嗽必瘥。〔证〕
（一）獭肉：性温。有小毒。主治疮疥，补益虚损，以及女子阴部瘙痒、不孕症，小儿阴囊溃烂肿胀，煮熟或烤熟后任意食用。效果良好。又能主治五脏邪气，服用后病情迅速好转。空腹服用更佳。〔孟诜·考证〕
（二）獭肠和内脏：性微寒。患有长期不愈的疮疥者，做成羹汤食用。小儿惊风癫痫及成人出现幻觉（见鬼），也做成羹汤食用，效果良好。其患狐魅病的症状表现：有的叉手行礼见人，有的在安静处独自说话，有的对着空气作揖无度，有的多言，有的紧闭口唇，叉手而坐，礼节过度，经常随意大小便，这就是所谓的狐魅病。如果是马疫，治疗方法相同，将药液灌入鼻中即可痊愈。〔考证〕患蛊毒引起的寒热往来者，宜多服用獭肉。〔孟诜〕
（三）獭头：烧成灰，可辟除邪气。〔考证〕
（一）水獭肝：主治疰病（一种具有传染性的慢性消耗性疾病）相互传染，若一家都患病，取一只獭肝，用火烤干，研成粉末，用水调和，每次服用一方寸匕的量，每日服用两次。〔孟诜〕
（三）獭肉：性寒，无毒。煮汁主治时行疫病及牛马疫病，都是煮汁放凉后灌服。〔考证〕
（四）另外，如果患寒热毒邪、风水肿满、虚胀等症状，就取一头水獭，剥去皮，连同五脏、骨、头、尾等一起，烤干。研成粉末，用水调服一方寸匕，每日两次，十天可痊愈。〔考证〕
（五）谨按：服用獭肉治疗水胀，只适用于热毒风邪导致的虚胀，服用后即刻痊愈。如果是冷气导致的虚胀食积，服用后会更加虚弱肿胀。它只治热证，不治冷证，不可一概而论。〔孟诜〕
（一）獭肉：性平，味酸。〔考证〕
主治因服用丹石类药物引起的劳热。患赤白痢疾长时间不愈者，可将獭肉煮熟后在露水中放置一夜，第二天空腹与酱料一起吃一顿，即可痊愈。〔孟诜〕
（二）另外，瘦人可与五味调料一起煮食，能让人长出脂肪，变得肥白。曾经服用过丹石药物的人，可以时常服用獭肉。丹石类药物容易导致发热，服用獭肉效果奇妙。〔孟诜〕
(1) Meat: Warm in nature. Slightly toxic. Primarily treats sores and scabies, tonifies deficiency and damage, as well as pruritus vulvae (vaginal itching) and sterility in women, and ulceration with swelling of the scrotum in children. It can be boiled or roasted and eaten at will. Beneficial. It also treats pathogenic qi of the five zang organs; recovery is rapid upon ingestion. Best taken on an empty stomach. [Meng Shen · Verification]
(2) Intestines and viscera: Slightly cold in nature. For those suffering from chronic sores and scabies that do not heal, it should be made into a soup and consumed. For pediatric convulsive epilepsy and adults experiencing hallucinations (seeing ghosts), making it into a soup and consuming it is also beneficial. The symptoms of "fox possession" disease include: some individuals may greet others with hands crossed in a bowing gesture, some speak alone in quiet places, some bow excessively to empty space, some talk excessively, some keep their mouths tightly closed while sitting with hands crossed and exhibiting excessive etiquette, and some defecate and urinate indiscriminately. This is referred to as fox possession. If it is equine plague, the treatment is the same; pouring the liquid into the nostrils leads to recovery. [Verification] For those suffering from gu poison causing alternating chills and fever, frequent consumption is recommended. [Meng Shen]
(3) Head: Burned to ash, it repels evil spirits. [Verification]
(1) Otter liver: Primarily treats zhū disease (a contagious chronic wasting disease) spreading within a family. If the entire household is affected, take one otter liver, roast it over fire until dry, grind it into powder, mix with water, and administer one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose, twice daily. [Meng Shen]
(2) For those suffering from cough, burn the otter liver to ash and administer with wine. [Verification]
(3) Meat: Cold in nature, non-toxic. The decoction primarily treats epidemic diseases and bovine/equine plagues; the decoction should be cooled before administration. [Verification]
(4) Additionally, for those suffering from cold-heat toxicity, wind-water edema, or deficient bloating, take one water otter, remove the skin, and combine the viscera, bones, head, tail, etc., roasting them until dry. Grind into powder, administer one fang cun bi mixed with water, twice daily. Recovery occurs within ten days. [Verification]
(5) Carefully noted: Ingesting this to treat water retention/bloating is only effective for deficient bloating caused by heat toxicity and wind pathogens; recovery is immediate upon ingestion. However, if the bloating is due to cold qi and food stagnation, ingestion will exacerbate weakness and swelling. It treats heat but not cold; therefore, it cannot be applied universally. [Meng Shen]
(1) Meat: Neutral in nature, sour in taste. [Verification]
Primarily treats labor-heat caused by ingesting mineral pills (dan shi). For those suffering from bloody and white dysentery that persists for a long time without healing, boil the meat, expose it to dew overnight, and eat it in one meal the next morning on an empty stomach with sauce; recovery follows. [Meng Shen]
(2) Furthermore, thin individuals can cook and eat it with five flavors to gain flesh and become fat and fair-skinned. Those who have previously ingested mineral pills can consume it regularly. Mineral pills tend to cause heat; consuming otter meat yields excellent results. [Meng Shen]
(3) Bone: Primarily treats rising qi and cough. Roast until dry and grind into powder. Mix with wine and administer three he (a traditional volume unit); twice daily. The cough will surely resolve. [Verification]
