《瓯江志》记载：别名一枝香。按语：《本草纲目》在马兰条目下的集解注释中说：又有山兰生长在山侧，形状像刘寄奴（一种药材），叶子没有分叉，不对生，花心微黄带赤色，具有大补血液的功效，但没有提到它有治疗痰阻、开通闭塞的作用。
《百草镜》记载：山马兰治疗疔疮极其有效，所以又名“疔见怕”。它蔓延生长的地方，节上会生根，所以又名“鬼仙桥”。这些都是民间根据直观印象随意起的名字。
功效主治：治疗风痰引起的喉闭和惊风；外敷治疗疔疮并止痛；捣取汁液涂抹治疗小儿蛇串疮（带状疱疹）；煎汤清洗痔疮肿痛和疥癣瘙痒。（出自《百草镜》）
风痰喉闭：《永嘉县志》记载：取山马兰的根捣碎，用人乳浸泡，男性患者用哺乳妇女的乳汁，女性患者用哺乳男性的乳汁。浸泡片刻后，让病患仰卧在凳子上，将头倒垂下来，将乳汁从男左女右的方向滴入鼻中，等到喉咙中有痰涎壅塞感时，立即转身低头张口，让痰液自然流出，痰排尽则病愈。但是此药进入鼻腔后，患者不允许发出声音，一旦有痰就要停止操作。
锁喉风：头面颈项全部肿胀，无法饮食。《传信方》记载：白马兰捣烂，用井水提取浓汁，与白酒浆混合均匀服用。
小儿颈项腿肋缝中溃烂：《养生经验方》记载：用马兰汁调和六一散（滑石和甘草的复方）涂抹患处，即可痊愈。
大人两腿赤肿流火（丹毒）：马兰捣成膏状，能治疗成年人双腿红肿发热如火燎的症状，或者是湿热潜伏在经络中，皮肤表面不红不肿，但疼痛异常，患者只感觉腿部发热，他人触摸时却极冷，这称为伏气之病，用这种膏药涂抹，立刻痊愈。
流注（多发性脓肿）：顾锦州传授的方子：采集山马兰煮熟，用麻油和酱油作为蔬菜凉拌食用，半个月自然消退。
《百草镜》说：马兰气味清香可做蔬菜，这种是野生的，气味臭不可食。三月发芽，茎秆红色且粗壮；秋季开白花，花朵细碎成簇，三月采收。因为其功能凉血，与马兰相同，所以得名。茎、叶、根都入药。
Wild Malan, Single-foot Malan
*Oujiang Zhi* records: Also known as One-branch Fragrance. Note: In the "Jijie" (Collected Explanations) annotation under the entry for Malan in *Bencao Gangmu*, it states: There is also a Shanlan growing on the side of mountains, resembling Liu Jinu (Artemisia japonica), with leaves that are unbranched and not opposite; the flower center is slightly yellowish-red. It greatly tonifies blood, but there is no mention of its efficacy in treating phlegm obstruction and opening blockages.
*Bai Cao Jing* records: Shanmalan is extremely effective in treating Dingchuang (carbuncles/furuncles), hence the name "Ding Jian Pa" (Carbuncle-sees-fear). Wherever it spreads, roots grow at the nodes, hence the name "Guixian Qiao" (Ghost Immortal Bridge). These are common names given arbitrarily based on folk perceptions.
Indications: Treats wind-phlegm causing Hou Bi (throat closure) and Jing Feng (convulsions); applied externally to treat Dingchuang and relieve pain; juice extracted by crushing is applied to treat Xiao'er Shedu (herpes zoster/shingles in children); decoction is used to wash hemorrhoid swelling and scabies/pruritus (*Bai Cao Jing*).
Wind-phlegm causing Hou Bi: *Yongjia Xianzhi* records: Take the root of Shanmalan, crush it, and soak it in human milk. For male patients, use milk from a nursing woman; for female patients, use milk from a nursing man. After soaking for a short while, have the patient lie supine on a stool with their head hanging down. Drip the milk into the nostrils (left for males, right for females). When the patient feels phlegm and saliva obstructing the throat, immediately turn around, lower the head, open the mouth, and allow the phlegm to flow out naturally. The illness is cured when the phlegm is exhausted. However, after this medicine enters the nose, the patient must not make any sound; stop immediately if phlegm is produced.
Pediatric Jing Feng (convulsions): With clenched jaw, administer the decoction juice into the throat, and recovery will occur.
Suo Hou Feng (Lock-throat wind): Swelling of the head, face, and neck, inability to eat or drink. *Chuanxin Fang* records: Mash Baimalan (White Malan), extract thick juice using well water, mix evenly with white wine slurry, and administer orally.
Ulceration in the seams of the neck, legs, and ribs in children: *Yangsheng Jingyan Fang* records: Mix Malan juice with Liuyi San (Six-to-one Powder) and apply topically; recovery will occur.
Red swelling and flowing fire (erysipelas) in both legs of adults: Mash Malan into a paste. It can treat red swelling and burning heat in the legs of adults, or damp-heat lurking in the collaterals where the skin surface is neither red nor swollen but pain is extreme. The patient complains of leg heat, but upon touch by others, it feels extremely cold. This is called Bing due to Fu Qi (latent pathogenic qi). Apply this paste, and immediate recovery occurs.
Liuzhu (flowing abscesses): Prescription passed down by Gu Jinzhou: Harvest Shanmalan, cook thoroughly, and mix with sesame oil and soy sauce as a vegetable dish. It will subside naturally within half a month.
*Bai Cao Jing* states: Malan has a fragrant aroma and can be eaten as a vegetable. This variety is wild, has an offensive odor, and is inedible. Sprouts appear in March; stems are red and coarse; white flowers bloom in autumn, clustered and fine, harvested in March. Because its function is to cool blood, similar to Malan, it is named accordingly. Stems, leaves, and roots are all used as medicine.
Properties and Actions: Cold in nature, cools blood, treats damp-heat, snake bites, and pediatric sores.
