金不换附注：
又名死里逃生。
治疗小儿感冒，风寒咳嗽，大人因劳累或外伤导致的吐血，各种风邪引起的疼痛，以及无名肿毒。
也被称为救命王，外形像羊蹄根，但叶子圆而短，植株本身不太高。这种草产自极西之地，传入中原后，百姓种植它来治病。立春后发芽生长，夏至后枯萎，药用部位为根。《本草纲目》中提到的三七也名为金不换，与此药不同。另外，木本植物中也有名为金不换的。
汪连仕《草药方》记载：金不换叶片大的，称为金钵盂大接骨草；叶片细的，称为小接骨草。对吐血疗效显著，因此被称为吐血草；军队中箭伤时，敷用此药效果良好，因此又被称为箭头草。
药性平和，能破除瘀血，促进新血生成，治疗跌打损伤，消除痈肿，止血，治愈疥癣，可与糖醋混合捣碎后擦拭患处。
被虫咬伤，用叶子捣碎涂抹。治疗肺痈。
叶子能增强臂力，拉开硬弓。手臂疼痛或力量薄弱无法拉弓的人，取叶子揉软覆盖在胳膊上，用布带束紧，过夜后疼痛即可停止，且全身力量都能汇聚到手臂上，拉弓不再费力。军营部队将其视为重要药物。
肿毒初起：《百草镜》记载：金不换草，根和叶不拘多少，捣碎五钱，用陈年酒煎服。
肺痈：《百草镜》记载：金不换草，取根一两，或七片叶子，捣汁后用酒煎服，三次可愈。无论是否有口臭、吐出秽物的症状均可使用。
风痛：杨氏验方记载：金不换一钱半，小活血、枳壳、苏叶、当归各三钱；乌药、川芎各二钱，天花粉五钱，老酒一斤，煎热后服用。
跌打疼痛及风气：《慈航活人书》记载：救命王即金不换，叶子像冬菜叶，春夏季节用叶子，冬季用根，捣汁冲酒服用。药渣加上毛脚蟹捣烂外敷。如果是风气作祟，只用药渣外敷。
汪连仕方记载：行血破血，配合地苏木、落得打，共同用酒送服。
Note on Jinbuhuan:
Also known as "Si Li Tao Sheng" (Escaping Death).
Treats pediatric colds, cough due to wind-cold, hemoptysis in adults caused by overexertion or trauma, various pains due to wind pathogens, and unnamed carbuncles and sores.
It is also called "Jiu Ming Wang" (King of Saving Lives). It resembles the root of *Rumex* (Sheep-sorrel), but its leaves are round and short, and the plant itself is not very tall. This herb originates from the extreme West and was introduced to Central China. People cultivate it for medicinal purposes. It sprouts after the Beginning of Spring (Lichun) and withers after the Summer Solstice (Xiazhi); the root is used medicinally. *Bencao Gangmu* mentions that Sanqi (Notoginseng Root) is also named Jinbuhuan, which is distinct from this herb. Additionally, there is a woody plant also named Jinbuhuan.
Wang Lianshi's *Herbal Formulas* records: The variety of Jinbuhuan with large leaves is called Jinboyu Dajiegu Cao (Golden Bowl Large Bone-Setting Grass); the variety with fine leaves is called Xiao Jiegu Cao (Small Bone-Setting Grass). It is quite effective for hemoptysis, hence called Tuxue Cao (Hemoptysis Grass); for arrow wounds in military campaigns, applying it externally is effective, hence also called Jetou Cao (Arrowhead Grass).
The nature is neutral; it breaks blood stasis and generates new blood; treats contusions and fractures, dissipates carbuncles and swelling, stops bleeding, cures scabies and tinea, and can be mixed with sugar and vinegar, pounded, and applied topically.
For insect bites, pound the leaves and apply topically. Treats lung abscess (Fei Yong).
The leaves can enhance arm strength and enable the drawing of stiff bows. For those with arm pain or weakness unable to draw a bow, take the leaves, soften them by rubbing, cover the upper arm, and bind tightly with cloth. Overnight, the pain will subside, and full strength will be gathered into the arms, making bow-drawing effortless. It is considered an essential medicine for military camps.
For early-stage carbuncles and sores: *Baicao Jing* records: Jinbuhuan grass, roots and leaves in any proportion, pound 5 qian, decoct with aged wine and ingest.
For lung abscess (Fei Yong): *Baicao Jing* records: Take 1 liang of Jinbuhuan root, or seven leaves, pound to extract juice, decoct with wine and ingest; three doses result in cure. Applicable regardless of whether there is halitosis or expectoration of foul matter.
For wind-pain: Yang's Verified Formula records: Jinbuhuan 1.5 qian, Xiaohuoxue (Minor Blood-Activating Herb), Zhike (Aurantium Fruit), Ziye (Perilla Leaf), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis) each 3 qian; Wuyao (Lindera Root), Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) each 2 qian, Huafen (Trichosanthes Root) 5 qian, old wine 1 jin. Decoct until hot and ingest.
For contusion pain and wind-pathogen conditions: *Cihang Huoren Shu* records: Jiumingwang is identical to Jinbuhuan; leaves resemble winter vegetable leaves. Use leaves in spring and summer, roots in winter. Pound to extract juice, mix with wine and ingest. Apply the dregs mixed with hairy-footed crab pounded into a paste externally. If the condition is due to wind-pathogens, use only the dregs for external application.
Wang Lianshi's Formula records: Promote blood circulation and break stasis, combine with Dishumu (Broussonetia Papyrifera Stem Bark) and Luodeda (Vincetoxicum Hirundinaria Root), decoct with wine and ingest.
