【主治】
金疮（金属利器造成的创伤）、痈肿、疮疡化脓。兰草和泽兰的气味，芳香而温，味道辛能发散，属于阴中之阳。是足太阴脾经和足厥阴肝经的药物。脾喜欢芳香的气味，肝适宜辛味的发散。脾气舒展，则三焦通畅利达而正气调和；肝气郁结消散，则营卫气血流行而病邪解除。兰草走气分，所以能通利水道，去除痰癖，杀灭蛊毒，辟除恶气，是治疗消渴症（糖尿病类疾病）的良药。泽兰走血分，所以能治疗水肿，涂抹于痈毒处，破除瘀血，消除症瘕（腹部肿块），是妇科的要药。虽然两者同属一类，但功用稍有不同。正如赤茯苓和白茯苓、芍药的补泻作用都不同一样。
(Zelan, also known as Qilang. Its leaves resemble those of Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui). Its fragrance resembles that of Agastache Herba (Baizhuxiang). Hence the names "Qilang" and "Jiangli". Jiangli grass grows in rivers, thus it is also called Jiangli.)

For Lung deficiency with cold, or heat congestion in the Upper Jiao, and bad breath after drinking alcohol, decoct and rinse the mouth. Its aromatic scent assists the Spleen and Stomach; therefore, Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb) can stop vomiting and promote eating. As a herb entering the Hand and Foot Taiyin meridians, when added to Shunqi Wuyao San (Regulating Qi and Cinnamon Twig Powder), it tonifies the Lung; when added to Huangqi Si Junzi Tang (Astragalus Four Gentlemen Decoction), it tonifies the Spleen.

(Kuyi, also known as Kuyi. Grows by the marshes. The stem resembles Kalanchoe Pinnata (Malan). The flower resembles Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flos (Juhua). Chrysanthemum is sweet while Kuyi is bitter. It is extremely abundant in fields everywhere. It is indistinguishable from Chrysanthemum, except its leaves are thin and pointed, flowers are small, and stamens are numerous like a honeycomb.)
[Root, Leaf, Stem, Flower] [Properties and Flavor]

[Indications]
Carbuncles, sores, scrofula (lymphatic tuberculosis), eye diseases, and nasal polyps.
(When using large or small Zelan, finely chop it, place it in a silk bag, and hang it in the southern corner of the house to dry before use.)
[Properties and Flavor]
Bitter, Slightly Warm, Non-toxic.
[Indications]
Metal wounds, carbuncles, and suppurative sores. Lancao (Lysimachiae Herba) and Zelan have an aromatic and warm nature, with an acrid flavor that disperses. They belong to Yin containing Yang. They are herbs for the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. The Spleen favors aromatic scents, and the Liver benefits from acrid dispersion. When Spleen Qi is relaxed, the Triple Burner becomes unobstructed and Righteous Qi harmonizes. When Liver Qi stagnation dissipates, Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) circulate freely and pathogenic factors are resolved. Lancao enters the Qi aspect, thus it can promote water passage, eliminate phlegm retention, kill Gu poison, repel evil, and serves as an excellent medicine for Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst syndrome/Diabetes). Zelan enters the Blood aspect, thus it can treat edema, apply topically to carbuncles, break blood stasis, eliminate masses (Zheng Jia), and serves as a crucial herb for gynecology. Although they belong to the same category, their functions differ slightly. This is just as Chi Fuling (Red Poria) and Bai Fuling (White Poria), as well as Chi Shaoyao (Red Peony Root) and Bai Shaoyao (White Peony Root), have different tonifying and purging effects.
