朱斋在任城时记载:钱塘门外的道姑桥下生长着红皮藤。凡是患有半身不遂(半肢风)和麻风病的人,取藤四两,浸泡在无灰酒一大壶中,放入锅内隔水蒸煮三炷香的时间,取出后饮用药酒,身体好的人以喝醉为限度。每饮一碗普通酒,加入三到四匙药酒,陆续喝完所有药酒,则风气自然痊愈。其风邪从指甲缝中排出,在对准指尖的地方用竹纸铺在几案上验证,如果纸能被吹动,就说明是指尖的风邪排出了。
这种植物生长在阴山脚下,立夏时节发芽,独茎蔓生,茎穿过叶心,茎上又长出叶子,叶子下圆上尖像犁耙,又像三角风,枝梗上有刺。《物理小识》记载:犁头刺藤,其叶子三角形像犁头,多生长在篱笆边,可以治疗瘰疬,也可以截断疟疾。又名霹雳木、方胜板、倒金钩、烙铁草、倒挂紫金钩、河白草、犁尖草、括耙草、龙仙草、鱼尾花、三木棉。出自江西的效力最大,当地人采集它来毒鱼,凡是蚌螺之类的生物也会死亡,它的性质最猛烈。用它草的烟熏蚕子,蚕就不会孵化,养蚕的人忌讳它;山人采集它来熏杀壁虱。
治疗鼓胀、水肿、痞积、黄白疸、久治不愈的疟疾、鱼口便毒、跌打损伤。去除壁虱,将茎烧掉放在床下。
《万病回春》记载:凡是遭受蛇咬伤,用板扛归(一种草药,此处指代雷公藤或相关藤本,原文语境似指代此藤或类似物,但结合下文“此草”及前文描述,实指雷公藤/犁头刺藤类),不拘多少。这种草四月五月生长,到九月见霜就很少见了,叶尖青绿像犁头尖的样子,藤有小刺,果实圆如珠子,生时青色熟时黑色,味道酸。用叶子捣汁,用酒调服,随量服用,药渣敷在伤口处,立刻痊愈。
治疗白火丹:《救生苦海》记载,用雷公藤五钱,平地木三钱,车前草四钱,天青地白叶、三白草各三钱,煎服。
治疗水肿胀满:《救生苦海》记载,平地木三钱,雷公藤五钱,车前草四钱,天青地白草三钱,路路通五个,打碎后煎服,病情重的十剂可愈。
治疗坐板疮:《秋泉家秘》记载,乌贼骨五钱,雷公藤三钱,共研为细末,擦拭患处,干燥时用菜油调和敷贴。
汪连方的方法:蒸龙草即震龙根,山人称之为雷公藤,蒸酒后服用,治疗风气,与巴山虎合用称为龙虎丹,投入水中用来毒鱼,人若多服就会昏迷。
Zhu Zhai recorded during his tenure in Rencheng: Under the Daoist Nun Bridge outside Qiantang Gate grows Hongpi Teng (Red-barked Vine). For those suffering from Ban Zhi Feng (Hemiplegia) and Da Ma Feng (Leprosy), take four liang of the vine, soak it in one large pot of Wuhui Jiu (Wine without ash impurities), and simmer it in a pot over boiling water for the time it takes to burn three incense sticks. Remove and drink the medicinal wine; for those with good constitution, drinking until intoxicated is the limit. For every bowl of regular wine consumed, add three or four spoons of the medicinal wine, and continue drinking until all the medicinal wine is finished, then the pathogenic wind will heal itself. The wind evil exits from the fingernail crevices; to verify this, place bamboo paper on the table directly opposite the fingertip—if the paper moves as if blown by wind, it indicates that the wind evil is exiting from the fingertip.
It grows at the foot of Yin Mountain, sprouting at Lixia (Start of Summer). It has a single stem that climbs, piercing through the center of the leaves, with new leaves emerging from the stem. The leaves are round at the base and pointed at the tip, resembling a plow harrow, and similar to San Jiao Feng (Triangle Wind); the branches and stems have thorns. *Wuli Xiaoshi* records: Litou Ci Teng (Plow-head Thorn Vine) has triangular leaves like a plowhead, often growing by fences; it can treat Luo Li (Scrofula) and also arrest malaria. It is also known as Pili Mu (Thunderbolt Wood), Fangsheng Ban (Square Victory Board), Dao Jing Gou (Inverted Gold Hook), Laotie Cao (Branding Iron Grass), Daogua Zijin Gou (Hanging Purple Gold Hook), Hebai Cao (River White Grass), Lijian Cao (Plow-tip Grass), Kuoba Cao (Harrow Grass), Longxian Cao (Dragon Immortal Grass), Yuhua Hua (Fish-tail Flower), and San Mumian (Three Cottons). Those from Jiangxi have the greatest potency; locals harvest it to poison fish, causing clams and snails to die as well. Its nature is extremely fierce; smoking silkworm eggs with its smoke prevents hatching, so silkworm raisers avoid it. Mountain people use it to fumigate bedbugs.
It treats Guzhang (Tympanites), Shuizhong (Edema), Pi Ji (Abdominal masses), Huang Bai Dan (Jaundice), persistent Malaria, Yu Kou Bian Du (Chancre-like sores), and Die Da (Traumatic injuries). To remove bedbugs, burn the stems under the bed.
*Wanbing Huichun* records: For any snakebite, use Ban Kang Gui (a vine, contextually referring to this herb or similar vines used similarly) in any quantity. This herb grows in April and May and is rare after frost appears in September. The leaf tips are green like plow points, the vines have small thorns, and the fruits are round like pearls, turning from green when raw to black when ripe. They taste sour. Crush the leaves to extract juice, mix with wine, and take according to tolerance. Apply the dregs to the wound site for immediate healing.
To treat Bai Huodan (White Fire Erysipelas): *Jiusheng Kuhai* prescribes Leigong Teng (Tripterygium Wilfordii Root Bark) 5 qian, Pingdi Mu (Ardisia Japonica Root) 3 qian, Cheqian Cao (Plantago Asiatica Herb) 4 qian, Tianqing Diba Ye (Achyranthes Bidentata Leaf? Context implies specific local herb) and Sanbai Cao (Saururus Chinensis Herb) each 3 qian, decocted and taken orally.
Another external wash prescription: Leigong Teng and Hebai Cao decocted for bathing.
To treat Edematous Distension: *Jiusheng Kuhai* prescribes Pingdi Mu 3 qian, Leigong Teng 5 qian, Cheqian Cao 4 qian, Tianqing Dibao Cao 3 qian, and Lulutong (Liquidambar Formosana Fruit) 5 pieces, crushed, decocted, and taken orally. Severe cases resolve after ten doses.
To treat Zuoban Chuang (Sacral Decubitus Ulcer): *Qiuquan Jiami* prescribes Ouzeigu (Sepia Shell) 5 qian and Leigong Teng 3 qian, ground into fine powder, applied by rubbing. If dry, mix with rapeseed oil for application.
Wang Lianshi's method: Zhenglong Cao (Steamed Dragon Herb), i.e., Zhenlong Gen (Thunder Dragon Root), called Leigong Teng by mountain people, is steamed in wine and taken orally to treat Wind-pathogens. Combined with Bashanhu (Euonymus Alatus?), it forms Longhu Dan (Dragon-Tiger Pill). When thrown into water, it poisons fish; humans who ingest too much become comatose.
To treat Fanwei Yige (Regurgitation and Dysphagia), Malaria, Hematemesis and Hematochezia, Hou Bi (Sore Throat), Shiji Xinteng (Food Stagnation Heartache), Xu Bao Zhangfu (Deficient Fullness and Abdominal Distension), Yinshe Zhongda (Scrotal Swelling), Die Da Shan Na (Traumatic Sprains and Dislocations), Fabing Ding (Carbuncle on the Back)...
