《本草纲目》在“银”条目下,附录了“乌银”,记载用硫黄熏蒸银使其变黑,制成乌银。养生家将其制成器皿,用来承接露水饮用,可以延年益寿、辟除邪气。书中仅记载了其服食的功效,而没有提及它有治疗疾病的作用,因此我从行医的箱箧中检阅秘方,找到这种方法来补充这一缺失。
治疗反胃(翻胃)效果神奇。取纹银一钱二分、硫黄一斤,将硫黄分成一百二十小包,取一个大倾银罐,将银放入罐内,在炭火上加热,将硫黄逐包投入罐内,直到硫黄全部烧尽为止。取出银研磨成粉末,初次服用三分,第二次服用二分,第三次服用一分,再加丁香、茴香、藿香、沉香各三分,麝香一分,分为三次服用。每次服用时,用银粉二分,水一杯,煎药至半杯,空腹送服银粉,分三天服完,服完后病即痊愈。
翟筠川掌记:子母悬出产于贵州铅矿中,是铅的精气凝结而成。得到大的可以结成块状,重达数十斤,生凿后作为洗盆,用来洗头面头发,到老头发也不会变白,能明目,去除瘢痕痣,润泽面容肌肤。凡是脸上有紫黑色斑点的人,长期洗浴即可完全去除。
解毒:去除疣赘息肉、使头发乌黑、明目。
另一种说法称为“釉”。这是倾银铺熔化银脚料时产生的。凡是将熔银放入罐中,必须多用硝石、硼砂和黄砂以去除铅铜等杂质,才能成为足色的纹银。罐底剩余的黑色渣滓,名叫“铕”。有毒,不可误食,误食会坠伤人的肠道。此物没有入药用的,所以《本草纲目》在“银”下附录了乌银。虽然乌银没有主治功效,尚且列出其名。而“铕”末也被列入其中,或许是因为其毒性而被抛弃,如果有人误食,急用黄泥水喝两茶盏即可解毒。或者每天用饴糖四两做成小丸,不时用芝麻油吞下,都可以泻出毒素,需要服用百日以上才无隐患。《经验广集》记载:服用银铕水的人,用乌梅汤灌下即可解毒。杨春涯验方:误食银釉,连吃带皮的绿柿子数十枚,冬天吃柿饼和茨菇汁也可以解毒,非常神妙。
治疗癣疮:《救世青囊》记载:凡是顽癣,用银铕不拘多少,盛放在瓷盘内,放置在露天处,将盘子稍微倾斜,使银铕沾染露水。
《内府万应膏》:慈溪人陈水东得来此方,用银铕一斤,黑芝麻油二斤,先将银铕放入油中浸泡十天,敲碎,同油一起煎至四五分熟,用绢袋滤去银铕,加入炒过并飞净的东丹一斤,熬成膏,治疗一切无名肿毒、癣疮、痔漏、发背疔疮,贴一贴即愈。
五云膏:《不药良方》记载:治疗马刀瘰疬,以及已经溃破的鼠疮,用银黝子四两,捶碎,黄丹八两,飞净,香油二十两,用一个砂锅,盛放香油在火上温热,待油热后,将黝子投入油中,用桃、柳、桑、槐、枣五枝树枝搅拌,等到表面泛起珍珠花样的泡沫,捞去渣滓,用布过滤干净,再将油放回锅中,慢慢将黄丹筛入油内,仍然用那五枝树枝不停地搅拌,以滴水成珠为度。取出收存,使用时不要见火,用隔水炖化的方法,涂在红缎上贴敷。
Under the entry for "Silver" (Yin) in *Bencao Gangmu* (Compendium of Materia Medica), "Wu Yin" (Black Silver) is appended. It states that silver is fumigated with Sulfur (Liu Huang, 硫黄) until it turns black, thereby producing Wu Yin. Health-preservers craft vessels from this material to collect dew for drinking, which is believed to prolong life and ward off evil influences. The text only records its efficacy as a dietary supplement and does not mention its use in treating diseases. Therefore, I consulted secret prescriptions from my medical kit to supplement this omission.
It treats Fan Wei (Rebellious Stomach / Cardiac Spasm) with miraculous effect. Take one qian two fen of Wen Yin (Patterned Silver) and one jin of Sulfur. Divide the Sulfur into one hundred and twenty small packets. Obtain one large Qing Yin Guan (Pouring Silver Pot). Place the silver inside the pot, heat it over charcoal fire, and throw the Sulfur packets into the pot one by one until all the Sulfur is consumed. Retrieve the silver and grind it into powder. For the first dose, take three fen; for the second dose, two fen; for the third dose, one fen. Add three fen each of Ding Xiang (Clove), Hui Xiang (Fennel), Huo Xiang (Patchouli), and Chen Xiang (Agarwood), and one fen of She Xiang (Musk). Divide this mixture into three doses. For each dose, take two fen of silver powder, add one zhong (cup) of water, and decoct until half a zhong remains. Swallow the silver powder on an empty stomach. Complete the course over three days; upon finishing, the disease will be cured.
Recorded by Zhai Yunchuan: Zi Mu Xuan (Mother-Child Suspension) originates from lead mines in Guizhou and is formed from the essence of lead. Large pieces can weigh dozens of jin. When freshly carved and used as a washbasin for washing the head, face, and hair, it prevents graying even in old age, brightens the eyes, removes scars and moles, and moisturizes the skin and complexion. For anyone with purple-black spots on the face, long-term bathing with water from this vessel will completely remove them.
Detoxification: Removes warts, polyps, and flesh tags; darkens hair; brightens eyes.
Another name for this substance is You (Glaze). This is the residue from melting silver at a silver-smelting shop. When melting silver into a pot, one must use excessive amounts of Xiao Shi (Niter), Peng Sha (Borax), and Huang Sha (Yellow Sand) to remove impurities such as lead and copper, resulting in pure Wen Yin. The black dregs remaining at the bottom of the pot are named You. It is toxic and must not be ingested mistakenly; ingestion can cause the substance to fall and damage the intestines. This material has no medicinal application, which is why *Bencao Gangmu* appended "Wu Yin" under "Silver." Although Wu Yin lacks specific therapeutic indications, its name is still listed. As for You powder, it may have been excluded due to its toxicity. If someone accidentally ingests it, they should urgently drink two tea cups of yellow mud water to detoxify. Alternatively, one can form four liang of Yi Tang (Maltose) into small pills and swallow them occasionally with Sesame Oil (Zhi Ma You, 芝麻油). This will expel the toxin through defecation. One must continue this regimen for over a hundred days to avoid complications. *Jingyan Guangji* (Extensive Collection of Experienced Prescriptions) records that those who have ingested Yin You Shui (Silver Glaze Water) can be cured by administering Wumei Tang (Dark Plum Decoction). Yang Chunya’s verified prescription: For accidental ingestion of Yin You, eat dozens of green persimmons with the peel. In winter, eating persimmon cakes with Cigu juice (Cibula Juice) can also detoxify; this is highly effective.
Treating Tinea (Xuan): *Jiushi Qingnang* (Green Bag of Saving the World) records: For stubborn tinea, use an arbitrary amount of Yin You. Place it in a porcelain dish and set it outdoors. Tilt the dish slightly so that the Yin You absorbs dew.
*Neifu Wanying Gao* (Imperial Palace Universal Ointment): Obtained by Chen Shuidong from Cixi. Use one jin of Yin You and two jin of Black Sesame Oil. First, soak the Yin You in the oil for ten days, then crush it. Simmer together with the oil until it reaches forty to fifty percent maturity. Filter out the Yin You using a silk bag. Add one jin of Dong Dan (Red Lead) that has been stir-fried and refined (Fei Jing). Boil until it forms an ointment. This treats all kinds of unnamed swellings and toxins, tinea, hemorrhoids, fistulas, back carbuncles, and furuncles. A single application brings about a cure.
Wuyun Gao (Five Clouds Ointment): From *Bu Yao Liangfang* (Excellent Prescription Without Medicine). Treats Bard's Gland (Ma Dao Luo Li) and already ulcerated Scrofula (Shu Chuang). Use four liang of Yin Youzi (Silver Dregs), crush them finely. Use eight liang of Huang Dan (Lead Monoxide), refined. Use twenty liang of Xiang You (Sesame Oil). Place the sesame oil in a clay pot and warm it over fire. Once the oil is hot, throw the crushed Yin Youzi into the oil. Stir continuously with five branches: Peach, Willow, Mulberry, Locust, and Jujube. Wait until pearl-like bubbles appear on the surface, then skim off the dregs. Filter cleanly with cloth. Return the oil to the pot and slowly sift the Huang Dan into the oil while stirring constantly with the five branches. Stop when a drop of liquid forms a bead upon cooling. Remove and store. When using, do not expose to direct fire; melt it using a double-boiler method. Spread onto red satin and apply as a plaster.
