【释名】时珍曰∶ ，乱丝也。其叶似之，故名。
【气味】咸，寒，无毒。
【主治】瘿瘤结气在喉间，下水（藏器）。主水 （苏颂）。
（宋《嘉 》）
【集解】禹锡曰∶海带，出东海水中石上，似海藻而粗，柔韧而长。今登州人干之以束
器物。医家用以下水，胜于海藻、昆布。
【气味】咸，寒，无毒。
【主治】催生，治妇人病，及疗风下水（《嘉 》）。治水病瘿瘤，功同海藻（时珍）。
（《别录》中品）
【释名】纶布。
时珍曰∶按《吴普本草》，纶布一名昆布，则《尔雅》所谓纶似纶，东海有之者，即昆
布也。纶音关，青丝绶也，讹而为昆耳。陶弘景以纶为青苔、紫菜辈，谓组为昆布；陈藏器
又谓纶、组是二种藻。不同如此。
【集解】《别录》曰∶昆布生东海。
弘景曰∶今惟出高丽。绳把索之如卷麻，作黄黑色，柔韧可食。《尔雅》云∶纶似纶，
组似组，东海有之。今青苔、紫菜皆似纶，而昆布亦似组，恐即是也。
藏器曰∶昆布生南海，叶如手，大似薄苇，紫赤色。其细叶者，海藻也。
曰∶其草顺流而生。出新罗者叶细，黄黑色。胡人搓之为索，阴干，从舶上来中国。
时珍曰∶昆布生登、莱者，搓如绳索之状。出闽、浙者，大叶似菜。盖海中诸菜性味相
近，主疗一致。虽稍有不同，亦无大异也。
【修治】 曰∶凡使昆布，每一斤，用甑箅大小十个，同锉细，以东流水煮之，从巳至
亥，待咸味去，乃晒焙用。

诜曰∶昆布下气，久服瘦人，无此疾者不可食。海岛之人爱食之，为无好菜，只食此物，
服久相习，病亦不生，遂传说其功于北人。北人食之皆生病，是水土不宜耳。凡是海中菜，
皆损人，不可多食。
【附方】旧四。
昆布 ，治膀胱结气，急宜下气。用高丽昆布一斤，白米泔浸一宿，洗去咸味。以水一
斛，煮熟劈细。入葱白一握，寸断之。更煮极烂，乃下盐酢豉糁姜橘椒末调和食之。仍宜食
粱米、粳米饭。极能下气。无所忌。海藻亦可依此法作之。（《广济方》）
瘿气结核 ，肿硬。以昆布一两，洗去咸，晒干为散。每以一钱绵裹，好醋中浸过，
含之咽津，味尽再易之。（《圣惠方》）
项下五瘿∶方同上。（《千金翼》）。
项下卒肿，其囊渐大，欲成瘿者。昆布、海藻等分，为末，蜜丸杏核大。时时含之，咽
汁
（“蕴”字，读音为温、乱、酝三音。出自《本草拾遗》）
【校正】从草部移入此卷。
【释名】李时珍说：“蕴”，意为乱丝。海带的叶子像乱丝，所以得名。
【气味】味咸，性寒，无毒。
【主治】喉间瘿瘤结气，利水（陈藏器）。主治水肿（苏颂）。
（宋《嘉祐本草》）
【集解】苏禹锡说：海带，出产于东海岩石上，形状像海藻但较粗，质地柔韧且长。现在登州人将其晒干用来捆扎器物。医家用它来利水，效果胜过海藻和昆布。
【气味】味咸，性寒，无毒。
【主治】催生，治疗妇人病，以及祛风利水（《嘉祐本草》）。治疗水病、瘿瘤，功效与海藻相同（李时珍）。
（《名医别录》列为中品）
【释名】纶布。
李时珍说：查考《吴普本草》，纶布又名昆布，那么《尔雅》中所说的“纶似纶，产于东海”的，就是昆布。“纶”音同关，指青色的丝带，讹传为“昆”。陶弘景认为“纶”是青苔、紫菜之类，认为“组”是昆布；陈藏器又说“纶”、“组”是两种不同的藻类。说法各不相同。
【集解】《名医别录》说：昆布生长在东海。
陶弘景说：现在只出产于高丽。用绳子捆绑索状如卷起的麻，颜色黄黑，柔韧可食用。《尔雅》说：“纶似纶，组似组，产于东海。”现在的青苔、紫菜都像“纶”，而昆布也像“组”，恐怕就是这些了。
陈藏器说：昆布生长在南海，叶子像手掌，大得像薄苇席，呈紫红色。其中细叶的是海藻。
苏颂说：这种草顺流生长。出产于新罗的叶子细，呈黄黑色。胡人将其搓成绳索，阴干后，随商船来到中国。
李时珍说：出产于登州、莱州的昆布，搓成绳索状。出产于福建、浙江的，叶片大像蔬菜。大概海中各种菜性质味道相近，主治功效一致。虽然稍有不同，也没有太大差异。
【修治】雷敩说：凡使用昆布，每斤用大小十个蒸笼格，一起切碎，用东流水煮，从巳时到亥时，待咸味去除，然后晾晒焙干备用。
【气味】味咸，性寒，滑利，无毒。吴普说：味酸、咸，性寒，无毒。甄权说：性温，有小毒。
【主治】十二种水肿，瘿瘤聚结气，恶疮（《名医别录》）。
破除积聚（孙思邈）。治疗阴囊肿痛，含在口中咽下汁液（陈藏器）。通利水道，消除面部浮肿，治疗恶疮、鼠瘘（甄权）。
【发明】张杲说：咸味能软坚散结，所以瘿瘤坚硬如石的，非此药不能消除，与海藻功效相同。
寇宗奭说：昆布下气，久服使人消瘦，没有此病的人不可食用。海岛之人喜爱食用它，因为没有好菜吃，只吃这种植物，服用久了习惯成自然，疾病也不发生，于是传说它对北方人有功效。北方人食用都生病，这是水土不宜罢了。凡是海中的菜，都损人，不可多吃。
【附方】旧方四首。
昆布汤，治疗膀胱结气，急需下气。用高丽昆布一斤，用白米泔水浸泡一夜，洗去咸味。用水一斛，煮熟后劈碎。加入葱白一把，切成寸段。再煮至极烂，然后加入盐、醋、豆豉、姜末、橘皮末、花椒末调和食用。同时宜食高粱米、粳米饭。极能下气。无所禁忌。海藻也可以依此法制作。（《广济方》）
瘿气结核，肿胀坚硬。用昆布一两，洗去咸味，晒干研为散剂。每次取一钱用绵包裹，在好醋中浸过，含在口中咽津液，味道尽后再换新的。（《圣惠方》）
项下五瘿：方子同上。（《千金翼方》）。
项下突然肿胀，其囊逐渐变大，欲形成瘿瘤者。昆布、海藻等分，研为末，蜜丸如杏核大。时时含在口中，咽下汁液。
(Wen, Luan, Yun three pronunciations. From *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica].)
[Correction] Moved from the Herb section to this volume.
[Names] Li Shizhen said: "Yun" means tangled silk. Its leaves resemble tangled silk, hence the name.
[Flavor and Properties] Salty, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Goiter and nodular qi accumulation in the throat, promotes urination (Chen Cangqi). Mainly treats edema (Su Song).
(Song Dynasty *Jia You Ben Cao* [Compendium of Materia Medica])
[Collected Explanations] Su Yuxi said: Kelp (*Haidai*) grows on rocks in the East China Sea. It resembles seaweed but is thicker, flexible, tough, and long. People in Dengzhou now dry it to bind objects. Physicians use it to promote urination, with effects superior to seaweed (*Zao Hai*) and kelp (*Kun Bu*).
[Flavor and Properties] Salty, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Facilitates childbirth, treats women's diseases, and dispels wind and promotes urination (*Jia You Ben Cao*). Treats water diseases and goiters; efficacy is similar to seaweed (Li Shizhen).
(*Mingyi Bielu* [Record of Famous Physicians], Middle Grade)
[Names] Lunbu.
Li Shizhen said: According to *Wu Pu Bencao*, Lunbu is another name for Kunbu. Thus, what *Erya* refers to as "Lun resembling Lun, found in the East Sea," is indeed Kunbu. "Lun" sounds like Guan, referring to a green silk ribbon, which was corrupted into "Kun." Tao Hongjing considered "Lun" to be green moss or purple laver, and "Zu" to be Kunbu; Chen Cangqi further stated that "Lun" and "Zu" are two different types of algae. Their views differ thus.
[Collected Explanations] *Mingyi Bielu* says: Kunbu grows in the East Sea.
Hongjing said: Currently, it is only produced in Goryeo. It is bundled like ropes, resembling rolled hemp, yellowish-black in color, flexible, and edible. *Erya* states: "Lun resembles Lun, Zu resembles Zu, found in the East Sea." Current green moss and purple laver all resemble "Lun," while Kunbu resembles "Zu"; I fear these are the same.
Cangqi said: Kunbu grows in the South Sea. Its leaves are hand-shaped, large like thin reed mats, purple-red in color. The fine-leaved variety is seaweed.
Song said: This grass grows with the current. Those from Silla have fine leaves, yellowish-black. Hu people twist them into ropes, dry them in the shade, and bring them to China via ships.
Shizhen said: Kunbu from Deng and Lai is twisted into rope-like shapes. That from Min and Zhe has large leaves resembling vegetables. Generally, various sea vegetables have similar properties and flavors, and their main therapeutic effects are consistent. Although there are slight differences, they are not significantly distinct.
[Processing] Lei Xiao said: When using Kunbu, for every jin (500g), use ten steamer inserts of varying sizes, chop them finely together, and boil them in running water from the Si hour (9-11 AM) to the Hai hour (9-11 PM). Wait until the salty taste is removed, then sun-dry and roast for use.
[Flavor and Properties] Salty, cold, slippery, non-toxic. Pu said: Sour and salty, cold, non-toxic. Quan said: Warm, slightly toxic.
[Indications] Twelve types of edema, goiter, nodular qi accumulation, malignant sores (*Mingyi Bielu*).
Breaks up accumulations (Sun Simiao). Treats scrotal swelling; hold in mouth and swallow juice (Chen Cangqi). Promotes urinary flow, reduces facial swelling, treats malignant sores and rat-hole fistulas (Zhen Quan).
[Elucidation] Guo said: Salty flavor can soften hardness; therefore, goiters hard as stone cannot be eliminated without this herb, sharing the same efficacy as seaweed.
Shen said: Kunbu directs qi downward. Long-term consumption causes emaciation; those without this condition should not consume it. People on islands love eating it because good vegetables are scarce; they eat only this substance. After long-term habitual consumption, diseases do not arise, leading to legends about its benefits for northerners. Northerners who eat it often fall ill due to unsuitable local conditions. All sea vegetables are damaging if consumed excessively and should not be eaten in large quantities.
[Attached Prescriptions] Four old prescriptions.
Kunbu Decoction: Treats bladder qi stagnation; urgently needed to direct qi downward. Use one jin of Goryeo Kunbu, soak overnight in rice wash water, and rinse to remove saltiness. Boil in one hu (approx. 10 liters) of water until cooked, then split finely. Add one handful of white parts of green onions, cut into cun segments. Boil until extremely soft, then add salt, vinegar, fermented soybeans, ginger powder, tangerine peel powder, and pepper powder to mix and eat. It is advisable to also eat sorghum or japonica rice. Extremely effective at directing qi downward. No dietary restrictions. Seaweed can also be prepared according to this method (*Guangji Fang*).
Goiter Qi Nodules: Swollen and hard. Take one qian (approx. 3.7g) of Kunbu, rinse to remove saltiness, dry, and grind into powder. Wrap one qian in cotton each time, soak in good vinegar, hold in mouth, and swallow saliva. Replace when the flavor is exhausted (*Shenghui Fang*).
Five Types of Goiters on the Neck: Prescription same as above (*Qianjin Yi Fang*).
Sudden swelling on the neck, where the sac gradually enlarges, intending to become a goiter. Equal parts Kunbu and seaweed, ground into powder, honey-pilled to the size of an apricot kernel. Hold in mouth occasionally and swallow juice.
