血滞则气壅,故经络满急,发肿作痛。没药善通壅滞,和血去瘀,则血行而气畅痛止也。
骨节痛与胸腹筋痛,不由血瘀,而因于血虚;产后恶露去多,腹中虚痛;痈

【乳香】
味辛,性温,无毒。入心经(心脏经络)。如果用土烘法去油,同灯心草一起研磨,则粉末细腻。
能安定各条经络的疼痛,解除各种疮疡的毒邪。活血舒筋,调和脾胃治疗痢疾。香气可口辟除口臭,频繁含服即可。风虫牙痛,含在口中咀嚼。
各种疮疡的疼痛瘙痒,都属于心火,乳香入心经,内托护心,外宣发毒邪,有奇效。但是疽疮已经溃破者不要服用,脓液多者不要外敷。凡是筋脉不能伸展的,加入熏洗药中使用有效。咽喉骨刺卡住,用水研磨后咽下,往往能滑利排出。
【没药】
味苦,性平,无毒。入肝经(肝脏经络)。炮制方法同乳香。
宣通血气之滞涩,医治疮疡腐烂之疼痛。可攻除目翳,能导致胎儿坠落。
血行滞涩则气机壅塞,所以经络满急,发生肿胀疼痛。没药善于疏通壅滞,和血祛瘀,则血行而气畅疼痛停止。
骨节疼痛与胸腹筋脉疼痛,不是由于血瘀,而是由于血虚;产后恶露排出过多,腹部虚痛;痈疽已经溃破,法则都禁止使用。
乳香偏于调气,没药偏于散血,二者经常配合使用。
【松脂】
味苦、甘,性温,无毒。入肺、胃二经。水煮至沸腾多次,呈白滑状才可使用。
祛除肺金之风邪,清泄胃土之热邪,驱除邪气降逆气,强壮骨骼坚固筋脉。排脓止痛生肌,煎膏使用。牙疼、恶痹、崩中(妇女非经期大量出血),研成末含尝。咽干含化,耳聋丸吞。
松脂感太阳之气而生,燥性能去湿,甘性能除热,所以外科取用极多。
松脂性燥而温,血虚者不要服用。
【白藓皮】
味苦,性寒,无毒。入脾经(脾脏经络)。忌桔梗、茯苓、萆薢。
主治筋挛死肌,化解湿热毒疮。是治疗风痹的要药,利窍功效良好。治疗黄疸、咳逆、淋沥,治愈女子阴肿生疡。
地之湿气感受人体,则伤害皮肉筋脉,白藓皮善于除湿热,所以治疗肌肤坏死、筋脉拘挛、疮毒。
下部虚寒之人,虽然有湿证,不敢服用。
[Ru Xiang / Frankincense]
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Heart Meridian (Heart Channel). If dried on earth to remove oil and ground together with Juncus effusus (Dengxin Cao), the powder becomes fine.
It stabilizes pain in all meridians and resolves toxicity in various sores. Invigorates blood, relaxes sinews, harmonizes the middle jiao, and treats dysentery. Its fragrance makes the mouth pleasant and repels bad breath; frequent sucking suffices. For wind-worm toothache, hold in the mouth and chew.
Pain and itching of all sores belong to Heart Fire. Ru Xiang enters the Heart, internally supports and protects the Heart, and externally disseminates toxic vapors, achieving remarkable effects. However, it should not be taken when ulcers have already ulcerated, nor applied externally when there is excessive pus. For cases where sinews cannot extend, adding it to fumigation and washing decoctions is effective. For fishbones stuck in the throat, grind with water and swallow; it often slides down smoothly.
[Mo Yao / Myrrh]
Bitter in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Liver Meridian (Liver Channel). Processing method is the same as Ru Xiang.
It disseminates stagnation of blood and qi, and treats pain from rotting sores. It can attack eye nebulae and can cause abortion.
When blood stagnates, qi becomes obstructed, leading to fullness and tension in the meridians, swelling, and pain. Mo Yao is good at unblocking obstruction, harmonizing blood, and removing stasis, thereby allowing blood to flow, qi to circulate freely, and pain to cease.
Pain in bone joints and tendons of the chest and abdomen, if not due to blood stasis but due to blood deficiency; postpartum excessive lochia discharge causing abdominal deficiency pain; and abscesses/ulcers that have already ulcerated are all contraindications according to standard practice.
Ru Xiang偏向 regulating qi, while Mo Yao偏向 dispersing blood; the two are often used together.
[Song Zhi / Pine Resin]
Bitter and sweet in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Lung and Stomach meridians. Boil in water until boiling multiple times until white and smooth before use.
Dispels wind from Metal (Lung), clears heat from Earth (Stomach), eliminates pathogenic factors, directs qi downward, strengthens bones, and fortifies sinews. Discharges pus, stops pain, generates flesh, and is used in decocted plasters. For toothache, severe bi-syndrome, and metrorrhagia (abnormal uterine bleeding), grind into powder and taste/suck. For dry throat, suck to dissolve; for deafness, swallow as pills.
Song Zhi is born feeling the Qi of Taiyang (Greater Yang); its drying property removes dampness, and its sweet property clears heat, so it is used extensively in external medicine.
Song Zhi is drying and warm; those with blood deficiency should not take it.
[Bai Xian Pi / Dictamni Cortex]
Bitter in flavor, cold in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Spleen Meridian (Spleen Channel). Adverse interaction with Platycodonis Radix (Jie Geng), Poria (Fu Ling), and Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma (Bi Xie).
Mainly treats tendon spasms and necrotic muscle, transforms damp-heat toxic sores. It is a key herb for treating wind-bi syndrome and is excellent for benefiting orifices. Treats jaundice, cough with counterflow qi, strangury, and cures female genital swelling and ulceration.
Earth's dampness affecting the body harms skin, flesh, tendons, and vessels. Bai Xian Pi is good at eliminating damp-heat, thus treating necrotic skin, tendon spasms, and sore toxins.
Individuals with deficiency-cold in the lower jiao should not take it even if they have dampness syndromes.
