(一)鹿茸:主要功效为补益元气。不可用鼻子去嗅闻鹿茸,因为其中含有肉眼看不见的小白虫,若进入人的鼻腔,必然会导致“虫颡”(一种因寄生虫引起的鼻部疾病),此时即使用药也难以治愈。〔嘉祐本草注〕
(二)鹿头肉:主要功效为治疗消渴病(糖尿病类症状),以及多梦、梦中见到异物等症状。〔《千金方》·《嘉祐本草》注〕
(三)另外,鹿蹄肉:主要功效为治疗脚膝骨髓中的疼痛。〔《千金方》·《嘉祐本草》注〕
(五)另外,生鹿肉:主要功效为治疗中风导致的面部口眼歪斜。将生椒与生肉一同捣烂,敷于患处。需仔细观察面部是否恢复端正,一旦端正立即去除药敷。〔《千金方》·《嘉祐本草》注〕
(六)谨按:食用鹿肉的最佳时间是九月之后、正月之前。此时食用可补益虚弱消瘦之体,通利五脏,调和血脉。除此时间段外,其他时间食用则可能引发寒性疾病。〔《嘉祐本草》·《食疗本草》证〕
(七)鹿角:主要功效为治疗痈疽疮肿,祛除恶血。若出现腰脊疼痛、跌打损伤,常取鹿角并截取其尖端部分,锉成粉末,用五升白蜜浸泡,以微火熬制至颜色略微变深,晒干后,再次捣碎过筛成细粉,用酒送服。(此法能)使人身体轻盈、增加力气,强健骨髓,补益阳气、治疗严重创伤。〔《嘉祐本草》·《食疗本草》证〕
(八)鹿角:烧制成炭化粉末(飞丹),服用效果极佳。只需在瓷器或瓦器中将鹿角切成寸段,用泥土包裹,在大火中煅烧一天,使其变成如玉粉般的质地。也可以烤至黄色,研末,细筛后用酒送服,对人有益。若想制作鹿角胶,则将鹿角细破成寸段,用水浸泡七天,待其软化后再进行煮制。〔《食疗本草》证〕
(九)另外,对于妇人梦见与鬼交合者,取三指撮量的鹿角末,与清酒混合服用,即可排出所谓的“鬼精”。〔《嘉祐本草》注〕
(十)另外,对于女子子宫内余血未尽、濒临死亡者,用清酒调和鹿角灰,每次服用一方寸匕,每日三次、夜间一次,效果显著。〔《嘉祐本草》注〕
(十一)另外,对于小儿重舌症,用煮小豆汁调和鹿角灰,敷在舌头下方,每日三次。〔《嘉祐本草》注〕
(十二)鹿骨:性温。主要功效为安胎,降气,驱除邪祟精气,可用于泡酒饮用。凡是胸部毛色发白的鹿,不可食用。〔《食疗本草》证〕
(1) Deer Antler Velvet (Lurong): Primarily indicated for tonifying Yuan Qi (Original Qi). One must not sniff the antler velvet with the nose, as it contains tiny white insects invisible to the naked eye. If these enter the nasal cavity, they will cause "Chong Sang" (nasal disease caused by parasites), at which point medicinal treatment becomes ineffective. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(2) Deer Head Meat: Primarily indicated for treating Xiao Ke (Wasting and Thirsting syndrome, akin to diabetes) and excessive dreaming where one sees strange objects in dreams. [From *Qianjin Fang*; Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(3) Additionally, Deer Hoof Meat: Primarily indicated for treating pain within the bone marrow of the feet and knees. [From *Qianjin Fang*; Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(4) Deer Meat: Primarily indicated for tonifying Middle Jiao Qi (Qi of the middle burner) and enhancing physical strength. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(5) Additionally, Raw Deer Meat: Primarily indicated for treating facial deviation due to Wind Stroke (Zhong Feng). Mash raw Sichuan pepper together with the raw meat and apply as a poultice. Carefully monitor until the face returns to symmetry; once corrected, remove the application immediately. [From *Qianjin Fang*; Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(6) According to careful observation: Consuming deer meat after the ninth month and before the first month of the lunar year can tonify deficiency, emaciation, and weakness, benefit the Five Zang organs, and regulate the blood vessels. Consuming it at other times may induce cold diseases. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*; Evidence from *Shiliao Bencao*]
(7) Deer Horn: Primarily indicated for treating carbuncles, sores, ulcers, and swelling, and for expelling evil blood. For lower back and spine pain or traumatic injuries, often take the tip of the deer horn, grind it into powder, soak it in five sheng of white honey, simmer over low heat until slightly discolored, dry it in the sun, then pound and sieve it into fine powder. Take with wine. (This method) makes the body light, increases strength, strengthens the bone marrow, tonifies Yang Dao (Yang pathways), and treats severe injuries. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*; Evidence from *Shiliao Bencao*]
(8) Deer Horn: Calcined into ash (Fei Dan), its consumption is highly effective. Cut the horn into inch-long segments, place them in a porcelain or earthenware vessel, wrap with mud, and calcine over high fire for one day until it resembles jade powder. Alternatively, roast until yellow, grind into powder, sieve finely, and take with wine to benefit the person. To make Deer Horn Glue, break the horn into small pieces, soak in water for seven days until soft, and then boil. [Evidence from *Shiliao Bencao*]
(9) Additionally, for women who dream of sexual intercourse with ghosts, take three finger-widths of Deer Horn powder, mix with clear wine, and ingest to expel the so-called "ghost essence." [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(10) Additionally, for women with retained lochia in the uterus nearing death, mix Deer Horn ash with clear wine and administer one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose, three times daily and once at night, which is very effective. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(11) Additionally, for pediatric double tongue (Chong She), mix Deer Horn ash with decoction of adzuki beans, apply under the tongue, three times daily. [Note from *Jiayou Bencao*]
(12) Deer Bone: Warm in nature. Primarily indicated for calming the fetus, directing Qi downward, and dispelling evil spirits/essence; suitable for infusing in wine. Deer with white fur on the chest should not be eaten. [Evidence from *Shiliao Bencao*]
