（《别录》下品）
【释名】甜梅。
时珍曰∶杏字篆文象子在木枝之形。或云从口及从可者，并非也。《江南录》云
∶杨行密改杏名甜梅。
【集解】《别录》曰∶杏生晋山川谷。五月采之。
颂曰∶今处处有之。有数种∶黄而圆者名金杏，相传种出自济南郡之分流山，彼人谓之
汉帝杏，言汉武帝上苑之种也。今近汴洛皆种之，熟最早。其扁而青黄者名木杏，味酢不及
之。
山杏不堪入药。杏仁今以从东来人家种者为胜。
宗 曰∶金杏深赭色，核大而扁，乃接成者，其味最胜。又有白杏，熟时色青白或微黄
，味甘淡而不酢。生杏可晒脯作干果食之。山杏辈只可收仁用耳。
时珍曰∶诸杏，叶皆圆而有尖，二月开红花，亦有千叶者，不结实。甘而有沙者为沙杏
，黄而带酢者为梅杏，青而带黄者为柰杏。其金杏大如梨，黄如橘。《西京杂记》载蓬莱杏
花五色，盖异种也。按∶王祯《农书》云∶北方肉杏甚佳，赤大而扁，谓之金刚拳。凡杏熟
时，榨浓汁，涂盘中晒干，以手摩刮收之，可和水调 食，亦五果为助之义也。
实
【气味】酸，热，有小毒。生食多，伤筋骨（《别录》）。
颂曰∶杏之类梅者味酢，类桃者味甘。
宗 曰∶凡杏性皆热。小儿多食，致疮痈膈热。
扁鹊曰∶多食动宿疾，令人目盲、须眉落。
源曰∶多食，生痰热，昏精神。产妇尤忌之。
【主治】曝脯食，止渴，去冷热毒。心之果，心病宜食之（思邈）。
核仁
【修治】《别录》曰∶五月采之。
弘景曰∶凡用杏仁，以汤浸去皮尖，炒黄。或用面麸炒过。
曰∶凡用，以汤浸去皮尖。每斤入白火石一斤，乌豆三合，以东流水同煮，从巳至午
，取出晒干用。
时珍曰∶治风寒肺病药中，亦有连皮尖用者，取其发散也。
【气味】甘、苦，温、冷利，有小毒。两仁者杀人，可以毒狗。
震亨曰∶杏仁性热，因寒者可用。
思邈曰∶杏仁作汤如白沫不解者，食之令气壅身热。汤经宿者动冷气。
时珍曰∶凡杏、桃诸花皆五出。若六出必双仁，为其反常，故有毒也。
徐之才曰∶得火良。恶黄芩、黄 、葛根，畏 草。
【主治】咳逆上气雷鸣，喉痹，下气，产乳金疮，寒心奔豚（《本经》）。惊痫，心下烦
热，风气往来，时行头痛，解肌，消心下急满痛，杀狗毒（《别录》）。解锡毒（之才）。治腹
痹不通，发汗，主温病香港脚，咳嗽上气喘促。入天门冬煎，润心肺。和酪作汤，润声气
（甄权）。除肺热，治上焦风燥，利胸膈气逆，润大肠气秘（元素）。杀虫，治诸疮疥，消肿，
去头面诸风气 （时珍）。
【发明】元素曰∶杏仁气薄味浓，浊而沉坠，降也、阴也。入手太阴经。其用有三∶润
肺也，消食积也，散滞气也。
杲曰∶杏仁散结润燥，除肺中风热咳嗽。杏仁下喘，治气也；桃仁疗狂，治血也。俱治
大便秘，当分气、血。昼则便难，行阳气也；夜则便难，行阴血也。故虚人便闭，不可过泄。
脉浮者属气，用杏仁、陈皮；脉沉者属血，用桃仁、陈皮。手阳明与手太阴为表里，贲
门主往来，魄门主收闭，为气之通道，故并用陈皮佐之。
好古曰∶张仲景麻黄汤，及王朝奉治伤寒气上喘逆，并用杏仁者，为其利气、泻肺、解
肌也。
时珍曰∶杏仁能散能降，故解肌散风、降气润燥、消积治伤损药中用之。治疮杀虫，用
其毒也。按∶《医余》云∶凡索面、豆粉近杏仁则烂。顷一兵官食粉成积，医师以积气丸、
杏仁相半研为丸，熟水下，数服愈。又《野人闲话》云∶翰林学士辛士逊，在青城山道院中，
梦皇姑谓曰∶可服杏仁，令汝聪明，老而健壮，心力不倦。求其方，则用杏仁一味，每盥漱
毕，以七枚纳口中，良久脱去皮，细嚼和津液顿咽。日日食之，一年必换血，令人轻健。此
申天师方也。又杨士瀛《直指方》云∶凡人以水浸杏仁五枚，五更端坐，逐粒细嚼至尽，和
津吞下。久则能润五脏，去尘滓，驱风明目，治肝肾风虚，瞳人带青，眼翳风痒之病。珍按∶
杏仁性热降气，亦非久服之药。此特其咀嚼吞纳津液，以消积秽则可耳。古有服杏丹法，云
是左慈之方。唐慎微收入本草，云久服寿至千万。其说妄诞可鄙，今删其纰谬之辞，存之于
下，使读者毋信其诳也。
【附方】旧三十七，新二十二。
杏金丹《左慈秘诀》云∶亦名草金丹。方出浑皇子，服之长年不死。
夏姬服之，寿年七百，乃仙去也。世人不信，皆由不肯精心修治故也。其法∶须人罕到
处。
寅月 杏树地下，通阳气。二月除树下草。三月离树五步作畦垄，以通水。亢旱则引
泉灌溉。有霜雪则烧火树下，以救花苞。至五月杏熟自落，收仁六斗，以汤浸去皮及双仁者，
用南流水三石和研，取汁两石八斗，去滓。以新铁釜用酥三斤，以糠火及炭然釜，少少磨酥
至尽，乃内汁入釜。釜上安盆，盆上钻孔，用弦悬车辖至釜底，以纸塞孔，勿令泄气。初着
糠火，一日三动车辖，以衮其汁。五日有露液生，十日白霜起，又二日白霜尽，即金花出，
丹乃成也。开盆炙干，以翎扫下，枣肉和，丸梧子大。每服三丸，空心暖酒下。至七日宿疾
皆除，喑盲挛跛、疝痔瘿痫疮肿，万病皆愈。久服通灵不死云云。衍文不录。颂曰∶古方用
杏仁修治如法，自朝蒸至午，便以慢火微烘，至七日乃收之。每旦空腹啖之，久久不止，驻
颜延年，云是夏姬之法。然杏仁能使人血溢，少误必出血不已，或至委顿，故近人少有服者。
或云服至二、三年，往往或泻，或脐中出物，皆不可治也。
杏酥法颂曰∶去风虚，除百病。捣烂杏仁一石，以好酒二石，研滤取汁一石五斗，入白
蜜一斗五升搅匀，封于新瓮中，勿泄气。三十日看酒上酥出，即掠取纳瓷器中贮之。取其酒
滓团如梨大，置空屋中，作格安之。候成饴脯状，旦服一枚，以前酒下。
藏器曰∶杏酪服之，润五脏，去痰嗽。生、熟吃俱可，若半生半熟服之杀人。
又法宗 曰∶治肺燥喘热，大肠秘，润五脏。用杏仁去皮研细，每一升，入水一升半，
捣稠汁。入生蜜四两，甘草一寸，银、石器中慢火熬成稀膏，入酥二两同收。每夜沸汤，点
服一匙。（《衍义》）。

补肺丸，治咳嗽。用杏仁二大升（山中者不用，去双仁者），以童子小便二斗浸之，春
夏
七日，秋冬二七日，连皮尖于砂盆中研滤取汁，煮令鱼眼沸，候软如面糊即成。以粗布摊曝
之，可丸即丸服之。食前后总须服三、五十丸，茶、酒任下。忌白水粥。（刘禹锡《传信方》）。

夏月三、四换，满半月取出，焙干研细。每服一枣大，薄荷一叶，蜜一鸡头大，水一钟，煎
七分，食后温服。忌腥物。（《胜金方》）。

金方》）。

【《名医别录》列为下品】
【释名】甜梅。
李时珍说：杏字的篆书字形，像果实长在树枝上的样子。有人说由“口”和“可”组成，都不对。《江南录》记载：杨行密将杏改名为甜梅。
【集解】《名医别录》说：杏生长在晋地的山川河谷中。五月采集。
苏颂说：现在到处都有。有好几种：黄色圆形的叫金杏，相传种子出自济南郡的分流山，当地人称为汉帝杏，说是汉武帝上林苑的树种。现在汴京、洛阳附近都种植，成熟最早。扁平且青黄色的叫木杏，味道酸，不如金杏好。
山杏不适合入药。杏仁现在以从东方人家种植的为好。
寇宗奭说：金杏呈深赭色，核大而扁，是嫁接而成的，味道最好。又有白杏，成熟时颜色青白或微黄，味道甘淡而不酸。生杏可以晒成杏脯作为干果食用。山杏之类只能收取杏仁使用罢了。
李时珍说：各种杏，叶子都是圆形而尖端，二月开红花，也有重瓣的，不结果实。甘甜而有沙质的叫沙杏，黄色带酸的叫梅杏，青色带黄的叫柰杏。其中金杏大如梨，黄如橘。《西京杂记》记载蓬莱杏花有五种颜色，大概是异种。按：王祯《农书》说：北方的肉杏很好，红色大而扁，称为金刚拳。凡是杏熟时，榨取浓汁，涂在盘中晒干，用手搓刮收集起来，可以加水调和食用，也符合五果为助的道理。
【气味】酸，热，有小毒。生吃多了，会损伤筋骨（《名医别录》）。
苏颂说：杏类同于梅的味道酸，类同于桃的味道甘。
寇宗奭说：凡杏性皆热。小儿多吃，会导致疮痈膈热。
扁鹊说：多吃会引发旧病，使人目盲、胡须眉毛脱落。
陈藏器说：多吃，生痰热，精神昏沉。产妇尤其忌讳。
【主治】晒成杏脯食用，能止渴，去除冷热毒。心之果，心脏病适宜食用（孙思邈）。
【核仁】
【修治】《名医别录》说：五月采集。
陶弘景说：凡是使用杏仁，用热水浸泡去皮尖，炒黄。或者用面麸炒过。
寇宗奭说：凡是使用，用热水浸泡去皮尖。每斤杏仁加入白火石一斤，乌豆三合，用东流水同煮，从巳时到午时，取出晒干使用。
李时珍说：治疗风寒肺病的药物中，也有连皮尖一起使用的，取其发散的作用。
【气味】甘、苦，温、冷利，有小毒。两仁者杀人，可以用来毒狗。
朱震亨说：杏仁性热，因寒邪所致者可以使用。
孙思邈说：杏仁煮汤如果白色泡沫不散，吃了会让人气壅身热。汤放置过夜会动冷气。
李时珍说：凡是杏、桃等花都是五瓣。如果是六瓣必然有两仁，因为反常，所以有毒。
徐之才说：得火良。恶黄芩、黄 、葛根，畏 草。
【主治】咳嗽气逆如雷鸣，喉痹，降气，产后乳疾及金疮，寒心奔豚（《神农本草经》）。惊痫，心下烦热，风气往来，时行头痛，解肌，消除心下急满痛，杀狗毒（《名医别录》）。解锡毒（徐之才）。治疗腹痹不通，发汗，主治温病脚气，咳嗽上气喘促。与天门冬煎服，润心肺。与酪作汤，润声气（甄权）。清除肺热，治疗上焦风燥，利胸膈气逆，润大肠气秘（张元素）。杀虫，治疗各种疮疥，消肿，去除头面各种风气（李时珍）。
【发明】张元素说：杏仁气薄味浓，浊而沉坠，属降、属阴。入手太阴肺经。它的作用有三点：润肺，消食积，散滞气。
杲曰：杏仁散结润燥，清除肺中风热咳嗽。杏仁降喘，治气；桃仁疗狂，治血。都治疗大便秘结，应当区分气、血。白天大便难，行阳气；夜晚大便难，行阴血。所以体虚之人便秘，不可过度泻下。脉浮者属气，用杏仁、陈皮；脉沉者属血，用桃仁、陈皮。手阳明大肠经与手太阴肺经互为表里，贲门主往来，魄门主收闭，为气的通道，所以并用陈皮辅助。
好古说：张仲景的麻黄汤，以及王朝奉治疗伤寒气上喘逆，都用杏仁，是因为它能利气、泻肺、解肌。
李时珍说：杏仁能散能降，所以在解肌散风、降气润燥、消积治疗损伤的药物中使用。治疗疮疡杀虫，是利用它的毒性。按：《医余》说：凡是索面、豆粉靠近杏仁就会腐烂。近来一位军官吃粉成积，医师用积气丸、杏仁各半研为丸，熟水送下，几次服用就好了。又《野人闲话》说：翰林学士辛士逊，在青城山道院中，梦见皇姑说：可以吃杏仁，让你聪明，老而健壮，心力不倦。询问其方，只用杏仁一味，每次洗漱完毕，将七枚放入口中，良久脱去皮，细嚼和津液吞下。每天食用，一年必换血，让人轻健。这是申天师的方子。又杨士瀛《直指方》说：凡人用水浸泡杏仁五枚，五更端坐，逐粒细嚼至尽，和津吞下。久了能润五脏，去尘滓，驱风明目，治疗肝肾风虚，瞳人带青，眼翳风痒的病。我按：杏仁性热降气，也不是久服的药。这特指咀嚼吞纳津液，以消积秽是可以的。古代有服杏丹法，说是左慈的方子。唐慎微收入本草，说久服寿至千万。这种说法荒诞可鄙，现在删除其谬误之辞，保留在下面，使读者不要相信其欺骗。
【附方】旧方三十七，新方二十二。
杏金丹《左慈秘诀》说：也叫草金丹。方出浑皇子，服用长年不死。
夏姬服用，寿命七百岁，于是成仙而去。世人不信，都是因为不肯精心修治的缘故。其法：须在少有人到的地方。
寅月挖掘杏树地下，通阳气。二月清除树下草。三月离树五步作畦垄，以通水。亢旱则引泉灌溉。有霜雪则在树下烧火，以救花苞。到五月杏熟自落，收仁六斗，用热水浸泡去皮及双仁者，用南流水三石和研，取汁两石八斗，去滓。用新铁釜，用酥三斤，用糠火及炭烧釜，慢慢磨酥至尽，然后内汁入釜。釜上安盆，盆上钻孔，用弦悬车辖至釜底，用纸塞孔，勿令泄气。初着糠火，一日三动车辖，以滚其汁。五日有露液生，十日白霜起，又二日白霜尽，即金花出，丹乃成也。开盆炙干，以翎扫下，枣肉和，丸梧子大。每服三丸，空心暖酒下。至七日宿疾皆除，喑盲挛跛、疝痔瘿痫疮肿，万病皆愈。久服通灵不死云云。衍文不录。苏颂说：古方用杏仁修治如法，自朝蒸至午，便以慢火微烘，至七日乃收之。每旦空腹啖之，久久不止，驻颜延年，说是夏姬之法。然而杏仁能使人血溢，少误必出血不已，或至委顿，所以近人少有服用者。有人说服用至二、三年，往往或泻，或脐中出物，皆不可治也。
杏酥法苏颂说：去风虚，除百病。捣烂杏仁一石，用好酒二石，研滤取汁一石五斗，入白蜜一斗五升搅匀，封于新瓮中，勿泄气。三十日看酒上酥出，即掠取纳瓷器中贮之。取其酒滓团如梨大，置空屋中，作格安之。候成饴脯状，旦服一枚，以前酒下。
藏器说：杏酪服用，润五脏，去痰嗽。生、熟吃俱可，若半生半熟服之杀人。
又法寇宗奭说：治疗肺燥喘热，大肠秘，润五脏。用杏仁去皮研细，每一升，入水一升半，捣稠汁。入生蜜四两，甘草一寸，银、石器中慢火熬成稀膏，入酥二两同收。每夜沸汤，点服一匙。（《衍义》）。
万病丸：治疗男妇五劳七伤，一切诸疾。杏仁一斗二升，童子小便煮七次，以蜜四两拌匀，再以童便五升于碗内重蒸，取出日晒夜露数日。任意嚼食，即愈。
补肺丸，治疗咳嗽。用杏仁二大升（山中者不用，去双仁者），以童子小便二斗浸之，春夏七日，秋冬二七日，连皮尖于砂盆中研滤取汁，煮令鱼眼沸，候软如面糊即成。以粗布摊曝之，可丸即丸服之。食前后总须服三、五十丸，茶、酒任下。忌白水粥。（刘禹锡《传信方》）。
咳嗽寒热，旦夕加重，少喜多嗔，面色不润，忽进忽退，积渐少食，脉弦紧者：杏仁半斤去皮尖，童子小便二斗浸七日，漉出温水淘洗，砂盆内研如泥，以小便三升煎如膏。每服一钱，熟水下。妇人室女服之，尤妙。（《千金方》）。
久患肺气，喘急至咳。甚者不过二剂，永瘥：杏仁去皮尖二两，童子小便浸，一日一换，夏月三、四换，满半月取出，焙干研细。每服一枣大，薄荷一叶，蜜一鸡头大，水一钟，煎七分，食后温服。忌腥物。（《胜金方》）。
咳逆上气，不拘大人小儿：以杏仁三升去皮尖，炒黄研膏，入蜜一升，杵熟。每食前含之，咽汁。（《千金》）。
上气喘急：杏仁、桃仁各半两，去皮尖炒研，用水调生面和，丸梧子大。每服十丸，姜、蜜汤下，微利为度。（《圣济总录》）。
喘促浮肿，小便淋沥：用杏仁一两，去皮尖熬研，和米煮粥，空心吃二合妙。（《心镜》）。
头面风肿：杏仁捣膏，鸡子黄和杵，涂帛上，浓裹之。干则又涂，不过七、八次愈也。（《千金方》）。
风虚头痛欲破者：杏仁去皮尖，晒干研末，水九升研滤汁，煎如麻腐状，取和羹粥食。七日后大汗出，诸风渐减。此法神妙，可深秘之。慎风、冷、猪、鸡、鱼、蒜、醋。（《千金方》）。
头面诸风，眼 鼻塞，眼出冷泪：用杏仁三升研细，水煮四、五沸，洗头。待冷汗尽，三度愈。（《千金》）。
偏风不遂，失音不语：生吞杏仁七枚，不去皮尖，逐日加至七七枚，周而复始。食后仍饮竹沥，以瘥为度。（《外台秘要》）。
破伤风肿：杏仁杵膏浓涂上，然烛遥炙之。（《千金方》）。
金疮中风，角弓反张：用杏仁杵碎，蒸令气溜，绞脂服一小升，兼摩疮上良。（《必效方》）。
温病食劳：杏仁五两，酢二升，煎取一升，服之取汗瘥。（《类要》）。
心腹结气：杏仁、桂枝、橘皮、诃黎勒皮等分，为丸。每服三十丸，白汤下。无忌。（孟诜《食疗》）。
喉痹痰嗽：杏仁（去皮熬黄）三分，和桂末一分，研泥，裹含之，咽汁。（陈藏器《本草》）。
喉热生疮：方同上。

[Classified as Lower Grade in *Bie Lu*]
【Names】Sweet Plum.
Li Shizhen stated: The seal script character for "Xing" (Apricot) resembles the form of a fruit on a tree branch. Some claim it is composed of "mouth" and "possible," which is incorrect. *Jiangnan Lu* records: Yang Xingmi renamed apricot to Sweet Plum.
【Collection and Explanation】*Bie Lu* states: Apricots grow in the mountains, rivers, and valleys of Jin. They are harvested in May.
Su Song stated: They are now found everywhere. There are several varieties: those that are yellow and round are called Golden Apricots. It is said their seeds originated from Fenliu Mountain in Jinan Commandery, where locals call them Han Emperor Apricots, referring to seeds from Emperor Wu of Han's Shangyuan garden. They are now planted near Bianjing and Luoyang and ripen earliest. Those that are flat and yellowish-green are called Wood Apricots; their taste is sour and inferior.
Mountain apricots are unsuitable for medicinal use. Apricot kernels are best sourced from those cultivated by households coming from the east.
Kou Zongshi stated: Golden apricots are deep ochre-colored with large, flat pits; they are grafted and have the best taste. There are also white apricots, which are greenish-white or slightly yellow when ripe, with a sweet, bland, non-sour taste. Raw apricots can be dried into apricot jerky for consumption. Mountain apricots are only used for their kernels.
Li Shizhen stated: All apricots have round leaves with pointed tips and bloom red flowers in February; some are double-petaled and do not bear fruit. Sweet ones with a sandy texture are called Sandy Apricots; yellow ones with a sour taste are called Plum Apricots; green ones with a yellow tint are called Nai Apricots. Among them, Golden Apricots are as large as pears and as yellow as oranges. *Xijing Zaji* records that Penglai apricot flowers come in five colors, likely an exotic variety. According to Wang Zhen's *Nongshu*: Northern meat apricots are excellent, red, large, and flat, called Vajra Fist. When apricots ripen, extract thick juice, spread it on plates, dry it in the sun, scrape it off by hand, and mix with water to eat, consistent with the principle of the five fruits aiding nutrition.
【Flavor and Properties】Sour, hot, slightly toxic. Excessive raw consumption damages muscles and bones (*Bie Lu*).
Su Song stated: Apricots resembling plums are sour; those resembling peaches are sweet.
Kou Zongshi stated: All apricots are hot in nature. Excessive consumption by children causes sores, carbuncles, and chest heat.
Bian Que stated: Excessive consumption triggers chronic diseases, causing blindness and loss of eyebrows and beard.
Chen Cangqi stated: Excessive consumption generates phlegm-heat and mental confusion. It is particularly contraindicated for postpartum women.
【Indications】Eating dried apricot jerky stops thirst and removes cold and heat toxins. It is the fruit of the Heart; suitable for heart disease patients (Sun Simiao).
【Kernel】
【Preparation】*Bie Lu* states: Harvested in May.
Tao Hongjing stated: For use, soak apricot kernels in hot water, remove skin and tip, and stir-fry until yellow. Alternatively, stir-fry with wheat bran.
Kou Zongshi stated: For use, soak in hot water and remove skin and tip. For every jin of kernels, add one jin of Bai Huoshi (White Fire Stone) and three he of Wudou (Black Soybean), boil together with flowing water from the east from Si hour to Wu hour, then take out and dry for use.
Li Shizhen stated: In medicines treating wind-cold lung diseases, some include skin and tip to utilize their dispersing properties.
【Flavor and Properties】Sweet, bitter, warm, cold, draining, slightly toxic. Kernels with two embryos are lethal and can be used to poison dogs.
Zhu Zhenheng stated: Apricot kernel is hot in nature and can be used for cold conditions.
Sun Simiao stated: If apricot kernel decoction has unresolved white foam, consuming it causes qi stagnation and body heat. Decoctions left overnight induce cold qi.
Li Shizhen stated: Flowers of apricot and peach generally have five petals. If six petals occur, there are invariably two kernels; due to this abnormality, they are toxic.
Xu Zhicai stated: Benefits from fire. Clashes with Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), and Gegen (Pueraria Root); fears Caocao (?).
【Indications】Cough with rebellious qi sounding like thunder, throat obstruction (Hou Bi), descending qi, postpartum disorders, metal wounds, cold heart with Ben Tun (rushing palpitations) (*Shennong Bencao Jing*). Convulsions, epigastric restlessness and heat, alternating wind and qi, epidemic headache, releasing the muscle layer, resolving epigastric urgency and fullness, killing dog venom (*Bie Lu*). Resolving tin toxicity (Xu Zhicai). Treating abdominal bi obstruction, inducing sweating, main treatment for warm diseases and beriberi, cough with rebellious and rapid breathing. Decocted with Tianmendong (Asparagus Root), moistens lungs and heart. Made into soup with dairy, moistens voice and qi (Zhen Quan). Clears lung heat, treats upper jiao wind-dryness, benefits chest and diaphragm qi rebellion, moistens large intestine constipation (Zhang Yuansu). Kills parasites, treats various sores and scabies, reduces swelling, removes wind from head and face (Li Shizhen).
【Elucidation】Zhang Yuansu stated: Apricot kernel has thin qi and strong flavor, turbid and sinking, belonging to descending and yin. Enters the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. Its functions are threefold: moistening lungs, digesting food accumulation, and dispersing stagnant qi.
Mao stated: Apricot kernel dissipates nodules and moistens dryness, clearing wind-heat cough from the lungs. Apricot kernel descends wheezing, treating qi issues; Peach kernel cures mania, treating blood issues. Both treat severe constipation, but must distinguish between qi and blood. Difficulty defecating during the day relates to yang qi; at night to yin blood. Thus, deficient persons with constipation should not be purged excessively. Floating pulse indicates qi; use Apricot Kernel and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel). Sinking pulse indicates blood; use Peach Kernel and Chenpi. Hand Yangming Large Intestine and Hand Taiyin Lung are exterior-interior pairs. Benmen governs movement, Pomen governs closure, serving as the qi channel; thus Chenpi is used as an assistant.
Hao Gu stated: Zhang Zhongjing's Mahuang Tang, and Wang Chaofeng's treatment for cold injury with rebellious qi and wheezing, both use Apricot Kernel because it benefits qi, drains lung, and releases the muscle layer.
Li Shizhen stated: Apricot kernel can disperse and descend, hence used in formulas for releasing muscle and dispersing wind, descending qi and moistening dryness, and resolving accumulation and trauma. Treating sores and killing parasites utilizes its toxicity. According to *Yiyu*: Noodles and bean powder rot when near apricot kernels. Recently, an officer ate too much powder causing accumulation; the physician mixed Jiqi Wan (Accumulation-Resolving Pill) and Apricot Kernel equally, formed pills, and administered with cooked water, curing him after several doses. Also, *Yeren Xianhua* records: Academician Xin Shixun dreamed of the Imperial Aunt who said: Eat apricot kernels to make you smart, robust in old age, and vigorous in mind and heart. Asking for the prescription, she said: Use only Apricot Kernel. After washing mouth, place seven kernels in mouth, wait until skin peels, chew finely with saliva and swallow. Daily consumption changes blood in one year, making one light and healthy. This is Master Shen's formula. Also, Yang Shiying's *Zhizhi Fang* states: Soak five apricot kernels in water, sit upright at dawn, chew each grain thoroughly, and swallow with saliva. Long-term use moistens the five zang organs, removes impurities, dispels wind and brightens eyes, treating liver-kidney wind-deficiency, bluish pupils, and eye nebula/itch. I note: Apricot kernel is hot and descending, not for long-term use. This method works specifically by chewing and swallowing saliva to resolve accumulation. Anciently, there was a method of taking Apricot Dan (Pill), said to be Zuo Ci's formula. Tang Shenwei included it in Bencao, claiming long-term use grants thousands of years of life. This claim is absurd and despicable; I delete the erroneous text below to prevent readers from being deceived.
【Attached Formulas】37 old, 22 new.
Xingjin Dan (Apricot Golden Pill): *Zuo Ci Mijue* says: Also called Caojin Dan. Formula from Hun Huangzi, taken for immortality.
Xia Ji took it, lived 700 years, then became an immortal. People do not believe it because they refuse careful preparation. Method: Find a secluded place.
In Yin month, dig under apricot tree to connect with yang qi. In Feb, clear grass under tree. In Mar, make ridges 5 steps away to drain water. If drought, irrigate with spring water. If frost/snow, burn fire under tree to save buds. In May, collect fallen ripe kernels, 6 dou. Soak in hot water, remove skin and double-kernels. Grind with 3 shi of southern flowing water, extract 2.8 shi juice, remove dregs. Use new iron cauldron, melt 3 jin of butter over chaff/charcoal fire, grind butter completely, then add juice. Place basin on cauldron, drill hole in basin, suspend axle cap with string to bottom of cauldron, plug hole with paper to prevent gas escape. Start with chaff fire, move axle cap 3 times daily to roll juice. After 5 days, dew forms; after 10 days, white frost appears; after 2 more days, frost disappears, golden flower emerges, pill is formed. Open basin, dry over heat, sweep down with feather, mix with jujube flesh, form pills size of wutong seeds. Take 3 pills on empty stomach with warm wine. After 7 days, chronic diseases removed; aphasia, blindness, spasms, paralysis, hernia, hemorrhoids, goiter, epilepsy, sores/swelling, all ten thousand diseases cured.

Su Song stated: Ancient methods prepare apricot kernels properly, steam from morning to noon, slow-fire dry for 7 days. Eat on empty stomach every morning. Long-term use preserves youth and extends life, said to be Xia Ji's method. However, apricot kernel can cause blood overflow; slight error leads to uncontrolled bleeding or collapse, so few people take it now.
