切痈
又名皱皮葱，炼丹术士将其放入炉火中使用。《百草镜》记载：荔枝草在冬末春初时发芽，经历霜雪也不枯萎，三月抽出茎秆，高度接近一尺左右，开出细小的紫色花朵聚集成穗状，五月枯萎。茎呈方形且中空，叶片尖长，叶面有粗糙的颗粒感，边缘有锯齿，三月采收。辛亥年，我寓居临安官署中，看见荒废的园圃里有很多这种植物，叶子深青色，在阳光下有光泽，边缘有锯齿，叶背呈淡白色，叶脉纹理断续相连，表面布满明显的粗糙颗粒和凹凸不平的纹路，历经寒冬也不枯萎，花瓣都是单瓣的，一丛有几十片叶子，点缀在台阶边的草丛中，也很雅致美观。
药性凉，能凉血。葛祖遗留的方子：治疗咽喉十八种病症，消除痈肿，治疗杨梅疮和痔疮。
急惊风：《集验方》记载：取荔枝草汁半钟，加入水飞过的朱砂半分，混合均匀后服用，立刻痊愈。
小儿疳积：《集验方》记载：将荔枝草汁倒入茶杯内，取一个未经水洗过的鸡软肝，用银针在上面钻几个孔，浸泡在汁液中，汁液浮在肝脏上，放在饭锅上蒸熟食用，即可痊愈。
喉痛或生乳蛾（扁桃体炎）：《救生苦海》记载：用荔枝草捣烂，加入米醋，用绢布包裹，绑在筷子头上，点入喉咙中数次，即可痊愈。
单侧或双侧乳蛾：《集效方》记载：取一把雪里青（即荔枝草），捣烂取汁，用半茶钟滚开水冲服，如果有痰就吐出来，如果没有痰，用鸡毛探喉催吐，如果口干，用盐水或醋汤止渴，切忌吃青菜和菜油。
痔疮：《活人书》记载：用雪里青汁炒槐米研成粉末，柿饼捣烂制成丸药，大小如梧桐子，每次服用三钱，用雪里青煎汤送服。
白浊（尿道分泌物异常）：张绿漪传授的方子：用雪里青草，加生白酒煎服。
无名肿毒：叶天士的有效方子：取一把雪里青，最好是用根部，加入金剪刀（一种草药）一起捣烂，加入半钟酒糟，共同捣碎后外敷，不必保留伤口头部（指不要包扎封闭），轻症自然消散，重症即使化脓也无妨。
治疗鼠瘘（淋巴结核）：《经验广集》记载：用过冬青，也就是荔枝草，又名天名精。取五六枚，同鲫鱼一起放入锅中煮熟，去掉草和鱼，只喝汤汁数次，即可痊愈。
Also known as *Zhoupi Cong* (Wrinkled-skin Scallion), it is used by alchemists in their furnaces. *Baicao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs) records: *Lizhi Cao* (Toadflax Herb, *Plantago asiatica*) sprouts at the end of winter, does not wither after frost and snow, sends up stems in March, reaching nearly one chi (approx. 33 cm) in height, blooming with small purple flowers arranged in spikes, and withers in May. The stem is square and hollow; leaves are pointed and long, with a rough texture on the surface and serrated edges; harvested in March. In the Xinhai year, while residing in the Lin'an government office, I saw this plant abundant in an abandoned garden. Its leaves were deep green, shining in the sunlight, with serrated edges; the leaf backs were pale white, with interrupted vein patterns, distinct rough granules, and clear concave-convex textures. It remained green through winter, had single petals, grew in clumps of dozens of leaves, and dotted among the grass by the steps, appearing quite elegant.
Its nature is cool, and it cools blood. A prescription left by Ancestor Ge: Treats eighteen types of throat disorders, reduces carbuncles and swellings, and treats yaws and hemorrhoids.
Acute convulsive disease (Ji Jing Feng): *Ji Yan Fang* (Collected Effective Prescriptions) records: Take half a zhong of juice from *Lizhi Cao*, mix with half a fen of cinnabar processed by water levigation, stir evenly, and administer orally for immediate recovery.
Pediatric gan accumulation (malnutrition syndrome): *Ji Yan Fang* records: Pour the juice of *Lizhi Cao* into a teacup. Take one soft liver of a chicken that has never touched water, pierce it several times with a silver needle, and soak it in the juice. The juice will float on the liver. Steam and cook it over a rice pot, then eat it to cure the condition.
Sore throat or tonsillitis (Ru E): *Jisheng Kuhai* (Sea of Saving Lives) records: Mash fresh *Lizhi Cao*, add rice vinegar, wrap in silk cloth, bind to the head of a chopstick, and apply/dab into the throat several times until cured.
Unilateral or bilateral tonsillitis: *Ji Xiao Fang* (Collected Efficacy Prescription) records: Take a handful of *Xueliqing* (Snow-in-the-Green, i.e., *Lizhi Cao*), mash and extract juice, mix with half a teacup of boiling water, and drink. If phlegm is present, expectorate it; if no phlegm, induce vomiting using a chicken feather. If thirsty, use salt water or vinegar water to quench thirst. Strictly avoid green vegetables and vegetable oil.
Hemorrhoids: *Huoren Shu* (Book of Life-Saving) records: Stir-fry sophora seeds (*Huaimi*) with *Xueliqing* juice, grind into powder, mix with mashed persimmon paste to make pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take three qian per dose, washed down with decoction of *Xueliqing*.
White turbidity (Bai Zhuo): Prescribed by Zhang Lvyi: Decoct fresh *Xueliqing* herb with raw baijiu (white liquor) and take orally.
Unnamed swelling and toxicity: Effective prescription by Ye Tianshi: Take a handful of *Xueliqing* (the root is preferred). Mash together with *Jin Jiandao* (Golden Scissors Herb, *Ajania chrysanthemifolia*). Add half a zhong of wine lees, mash all together, and apply externally. There is no need to keep the wound covered/open; mild cases will dissipate spontaneously, and even in severe cases where pus forms, it is not harmful.
Treatment of scrofula (Shu Lou): *Jingyan Guangji* (Extensive Collection of Empirical Knowledge) records: Use *Guodongqing* (Winter-Passing Green), which is *Lizhi Cao*, also known as *Tianmingjing*. Take five or six pieces, cook together with crucian carp in a pot. Remove the herbs and fish, and drink the broth several times to cure.
Prescription by Wang Lianshi: *Fengyancao* (Phoenix Eye Herb) is *Lizhi Cao*, locally called *Laishi Cao*, and medically named *Gedongqing*. It cools blood, stops metrorrhagia (profuse uterine bleeding), and disperses various carbuncles.
