《本经》主五癃关格不通,利小便水道,疗小儿惊,大人痉,仍自还神化。
发明 发者,血之余,故能治血病。虽曰补真阴,疗惊痫,理咳嗽,固崩带止血晕,而

【待处理原文】
(蛇蜕)味苦,性平,无毒。需细切后炒至黑色,或用酥油炙烤后使用。
《神农本草经》记载其主治五种痔疮、阴部蚀烂、下血不止,以及阴部肿痛牵引腰背,用酒煮制可消除其毒性。
发明(按语):蛇是胃的对应动物(兽)。因此蛇肉治疗反胃、胃脘痛最为快捷;蛇皮能去除眼目中的翳障。《神农本草经》主治五种痔疮和阴部蚀烂,是取其锐利破血的功效。用酒煮治阴部肿痛牵引腰背,是取其筋脉能收缩和舒展的特性。南方地区用金蚕蛊毒时,将蛇皮研成粉末,用酒送服并催吐。
(乱发/血余炭)
(蛇骨)入肝经,治疗瘰疬、野狼漏,《千金方》中有使用。但不可食用其骨头,否则令人消瘦衰弱。
(头发)味苦,微温,无毒。拣去白色的头发,先用滚水洗净,放入熔化的罐中,外用盐泥密封固定,[加热],待罐内外通红,冷却定形后,研成粉末,放置于地面以去除火毒后使用。
《神农本草经》记载其主治五种淋证及关格不通,通利小便水道,治疗小儿惊风、成人痉病,并能“仍自还神化”。
发明(按语):头发是血的剩余部分,因此能治疗血病。虽然说是补真阴、治疗惊痫、调理咳嗽、固摄崩漏带下、止血晕,但实际上具有消瘀生新的功效,能去除心窍中的恶血,并防止过度服用。如果头发煅烧不透,反而能动血。与鸡蛋黄、香油一起煎煮,消化为水状,则治疗小儿胎惊及涂抹癞疮有效。用于膏药中则能促进肌肉生长、消除瘀血。《神农本草经》治疗五种淋证及关格不通,通利小便水道,都是取其通利孔窍、散除瘀血的功效。其治疗小儿惊风、成人痉病,是因为能通达肝、心二经,开通痰血之阻滞。“仍自还神化”的意思是,服用自己的头发比服用他人的头发效果更好。但胃虚者不宜使用,因为其会引起呕吐腹泻。人发(乱发)的功效与此相似,而剃下的头发效果更佳,取其生长速度快的缘故。小儿胎发煅灰,能大解胎毒并补先天血气,因为纯阳之气未离体也。

[Original Text Processing]
(Snake Slough) Bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Finely cut and stir-fried until black, or processed with butter/oil before use.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) states it treats five types of hemorrhoids, erosion of the yin organs, continuous bleeding from the lower jiao, and swelling/pain in the yin organs radiating to the back and waist; boiling with wine neutralizes its toxicity.
Invention (Commentary): The snake is the animal correspondent of the Stomach. Therefore, snake meat is most effective for treating regurgitation (fanwei) and epigastric pain; snake skin removes nebulae (yi zhang) in the eyes. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* treats five types of hemorrhoids and yin erosion by utilizing its sharp, blood-breaking properties. Boiling with wine to treat yin swelling/pain radiating to the back utilizes the property that sinews/membranes can contract and relax. In Southern regions, for Golden Silkworm Gu poison, snake slough is powdered and taken with wine to induce vomiting.
(Snake Bone) Enters the Liver Meridian, treats scrofula (luoli) and wolf-like fistulas (yelang lou), as used in the *Qianjin Fang*. However, one must not consume its bones, as this causes emaciation and weakness.
(Hair/Talcum Carbonis Capilli) Bitter, slightly warm, non-toxic. Select hair free of white strands, wash thoroughly with boiling water, place in a crucible, seal externally with salt mud, [heat], until the inside and outside of the crucible are red-hot, allow to cool and solidify, grind into powder, and place on the ground to remove fire toxicity before use.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it treats five types of strangury (long) and guan-ge obstruction, promotes urination through the water passages, treats pediatric convulsions (jing) and adult tetanus/spasms (jing), and possesses the quality of "returning to transform spirit" (reng zi huan shen hua).
Invention (Commentary): Hair is the surplus of Blood, thus it can treat blood diseases. Although it is said to tonify True Yin, treat convulsions and epilepsy, regulate cough, secure metrorrhagia and leukorrhea, and stop bleeding/dizziness, its actual function is to resolve stasis and generate new tissue, removing evil blood from the Heart orifices, and preventing excessive usage. If calcined insufficiently, it may instead move blood. Fried with egg yolk and sesame oil until liquefied, it effectively treats pediatric fetal convulsions and applies to leprosy sores. Used in plasters, it promotes flesh growth and resolves stasis. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* treats five types of strangury and guan-ge obstruction, promoting urination, all due to its ability to open orifices and dissipate stasis. Its treatment of pediatric convulsions and adult spasms works because it reaches the Liver and Heart meridians, opening stagnation of phlegm and blood. "Returning to transform spirit" means that consuming one's own hair is superior to consuming others' hair. However, those with Spleen/Stomach deficiency should avoid it, as it induces vomiting and diarrhea. Human hair (luanfa) has similar efficacy, but freshly shaved hair is even better, taking advantage of its rapid growth. Pediatric lanugo ash greatly resolves fetal toxins and tonifies congenital Qi and Blood, as the Pure Yang has not yet departed.
