〔谨案〕《尔雅》中称其为“盱”。
【茵陈蒿】
味道苦，性平、微寒，无毒。主治风湿病、寒热往来、邪气侵袭、热结以及黄疸。治疗全身发黄、小便不利，祛除头部热邪，消除体内潜伏的积块。长期服用可使人身体轻健、益气延年、面色白净悦泽。白兔食用此草，据说能成仙。生长在泰山及丘陵坡岸上。五月及立秋时采集，阴干。现在各地都有生长，外形像蓬蒿但叶子紧细。茎秆冬季不死，春季又生发。只有用于治疗黄疸时才使用它。《仙经》说：白蒿，白兔食用它能成仙。而现在的茵陈蒿却说是这种植物，恐怕是搞错了。

乔山应该是黄帝安葬的地方，位于上郡。现在邻近地区也有出产，用来治疗各种疥癣，长期服用对人很有益处，但在服食方中很少使用。现在市场上的人都取用其苗。民间取用根部，称为鹿骊根，用醋研磨后外敷，以治疗疮疥。
〔谨案〕这种药俗名叫荚蒿，茎叶像白蒿，花黄色，结荚，长度像细麻，粗细如筷子，有四、五瓣，七月、八月后变黑，不同于一般的草蒿类。通常使用其茎叶及种子，未见使用根部。所谓的“鹿骊”，在南山被称为木藜芦，有毒，不是漏芦。

However, current Yinchenhao claims to be this plant, which may be an error.

Notes: Qiao Mountain should be the burial place of the Yellow Emperor, located in Shangjun. It is now also available in nearby regions and treats various scabies; long-term use is beneficial, but rarely used in dietary therapy formulas. Currently, merchants use the aerial parts. Folk medicine uses the root, called Luli Gen, rubbed with vinegar to treat sores and scabies.
[Recorded Case]: This herb is commonly known as Jiahao. Its stems and leaves resemble Baihao (White Mugwort); flowers are yellow, produce pods like fine hemp, about the thickness of a chopstick, with four or five petals, turning black after July and August, distinct from common grasses and artemisias. Usually, stems, leaves, and seeds are used; roots are rarely seen in use. What is called "Luli" in southern mountains is Muli Lu (Aconitum brachypodum var. tschananense), which is toxic, and is not Loulu.
