【释名】 药。
【集解】 苏颂说：蓬莪术生长在西戎及广南各州。叶子像荷花的叶子，果实像桑葚，莪术生长在根下并生在一起，一好一坏，坏的那一种有毒性。西戎人采集它时，先放羊去吃，羊不吃就丢弃它。
陈藏器说：一名蓬莪，颜色黑色；二名[原文缺字]，颜色黄色；三名波杀，味道甘甜。
苏颂说：现在江浙一带也有生长，三月生出苗，在田野中。它的茎像铜钱大，高二、三尺。叶子青白色，长一、二尺，宽五寸以上，很像荷花的叶子。五月开花成穗状，黄色，花头微紫。根像生姜，而莪术在根下，形状像鸡鸭的脚爪。
【修治】 雷敩说：凡使用，在砂盆中以醋磨尽，然后在火旁烤干。
苏颂说：此物极坚硬，难捣碎，用时在热灰火中煨透，趁热捣之，即碎如粉。
【气味】 苦、辛，温，无毒。
马志说：得酒、醋配合效果好。
【主治】 心腹痛，中恶疰忤鬼气（指突发的严重不适或精神异常），霍乱冷气，吐酸水，解毒，食饮不消，用酒研磨服用。又治疗妇人血气结积，丈夫奔豚病（《开宝本草》）。破除癖块冷气，用酒醋磨服（甄权）。治疗一切气滞，开胃消食，通月经，消瘀血，止跌打损伤痛和下血，以及内伤恶血（马志）。疏通肝经聚血（寇宗奭）。
【发明】 苏颂说：蓬莪术，古方不见使用。现在医家治疗积聚诸气，是最要的药物。与荆三棱同用效果良好，妇人药中也多用。
寇宗奭说：蓬莪色黑，破气中之血，入气药发诸香。虽为泄剂，亦能益气，所以孙尚药用其治疗气短不能接续，以及大小七香丸、集香丸、诸汤散多用此药。又为肝经血分药。
李时珍说：郁金入心，专治血分之病；姜黄入脾，兼治血中之气；术入肝，治气中之血，稍微有所不同。按王执中《资生经》记载：王执中长期患心脾疼，服用醒脾药反而腹胀。用耆域所载蓬莪术面裹炮熟研末，以水与酒醋煎服，立即痊愈。大概此药能破气中之血。
【附方】 旧方二首，新方六首。
一切冷气，抢心切痛，发作时欲死。久患心腹痛时发者，此可绝根。蓬莪术二两（醋煮），木香一两（煨）。研为末。每服半钱，淡醋汤送下。（《卫生家宝方》）小肠脏气，非时痛不可忍。蓬莪术研末，空腹葱酒服一钱。（杨子建《护命方》）妇人血气，游走作痛，及腰痛。蓬莪术、干漆二两，研为末，酒服二钱。腰痛，核桃酒送下。（《普济方》）小儿盘肠内钓痛。以莪术半两，用阿魏一钱，化水浸一日夜，焙研。每服一字，紫苏汤送下。（《保幼大全》）
气短不接：正元散：治气不接续，兼治滑泄，及小便数。王丞相服之有验。用蓬莪术一两，金铃子（去核）一两，研为末，入蓬砂一钱，炼过研细。每服二钱，温酒或盐汤空腹服。（孙用和《秘宝方》）
去滓，入牛黄两粟大，服之，甚效也。（《保幼大全》）
(Sound "shu". Recorded in the Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao* [Compendium of Materia Medica])
【Names】 Medicine.
【Collected Explanations】 Su Song said: Peng'ezhu (Curcuma zedoaria) grows in Xirong and various prefectures in Guangnan. The leaves resemble those of a lotus, and the fruit resembles mulberry. The rhizome grows beneath the root system together; one is good and one is bad, and the bad one is toxic. People in Xirong harvest it by first letting sheep eat it; if the sheep refuse to eat it, they discard it.
Chen Cangqi said: One name is Peng'e, which is black; another name is [character missing], which is yellow; the third name is Bosha, with a sweet taste.
Ma Zhi said: It is the root of Turmeric (Jianghuang) produced in the south. The variety produced in Hainan is called Peng'ezhu.
Su Song said: It is now found in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Sprouts emerge in March in fields. The stem is as thick as a copper coin, two or three chi high. The leaves are greenish-white, one to two chi long, and more than five cun wide, resembling lotus leaves. In May, flowers appear in spikes, yellow with slightly purple tips. The root resembles ginger, while the rhizome lies beneath the root, resembling chicken or duck feet.
【Processing】 Lei Xiao said: When used, grind it completely with vinegar in a mortar, then dry it near fire.
Su Song said: This substance is extremely hard and difficult to crush. When needed, roast it thoroughly in hot ashes, then crush it while hot until it becomes powder.
Li Shizhen said: Nowadays, people often stir-fry it with vinegar or boil it before use, taking advantage of its ability to enter the Blood aspect.
【Nature and Flavor】 Bitter, Pungent, Warm, Non-toxic.
Ma Zhi said: It works well when combined with wine and vinegar.
【Indications】 Epigastric and abdominal pain, sudden severe discomfort or mental abnormalities (Zhong'e Zhuwu Guiqi), cold qi in cholera, vomiting of sour fluid, detoxification, indigestion of food and drink. Grind with wine and take. Also treats blood and qi stagnation and accumulation in women, and Ben Tun disease (Rushing Pig) in men (*Kaibao Bencao*). Breaks up mass-like accumulations and cold qi; grind with wine and vinegar for administration (Zhen Quan). Treats all types of Qi stagnation, opens the stomach, aids digestion, regulates menstruation, resolves blood stasis, stops pain and bleeding from trauma, and internal damage with evil blood (Ma Zhi). Unblocks stagnant blood in the Liver Meridian (Hao Gu).
【Elucidations】 Su Song said: Peng'ezhu was not used in ancient formulas. Currently, physicians consider it an essential herb for treating various Qi accumulations. It is effective when used together with Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma) and is also commonly used in prescriptions for women.
Hao Gu said: Peng'ezhu is black in color, breaks Blood within Qi, and enhances the fragrance of Qi-invigorating herbs. Although it is a purgative, it can also tonify Qi. Therefore, Sun Shangyong used it to treat shortness of breath and inability to sustain respiration, and it is widely used in Da Qixiang Wan, Xiao Qixiang Wan, and various decoctions and powders. It is also a herb for the Blood aspect of the Liver Meridian.
Li Shizhen said: Yujin (Curcumae Radix) enters the Heart and specifically treats diseases of the Blood aspect; Jianghuang (Curcumae Longae Rhizoma) enters the Spleen and treats both Qi within Blood; Shu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) enters the Liver and treats Blood within Qi, which is slightly different. According to Wang Zhizhong's *Zisheng Jing*: Wang Zhizhong suffered from chronic heart and spleen pain for a long time. After taking herbs that awaken the Spleen, his abdomen became distended. He used Peng'ezhu wrapped in flour, roasted until cooked, ground into powder, and decocted with water, wine, and vinegar. He recovered immediately. This demonstrates that this herb can break Blood within Qi.
【Attached Formulas】 Two old formulas, six new formulas.
All types of cold qi, seizing the heart with cutting pain, causing death-like states upon attack. For chronic epigastric/abdominal pain that recurs, this can eradicate the root cause. Peng'ezhu 2 liang (boiled in vinegar), Muxiang 1 liang (roasted). Grind into powder. Take half a qian each time, washed down with light vinegar soup. (*Weisheng Jiabao Fang*) Visceral Qi of the small intestine, unbearable pain occurring at irregular times. Grind Peng'ezhu into powder, take one qian on an empty stomach with scallion wine. (Yang Zijian *Huming Fang*) Women's blood and qi, wandering pain, and lower back pain. Peng'ezhu and Ganxi 2 liang, grind into powder, take two qian with wine. For lower back pain, wash down with walnut wine. (*Puji Fang*) Infant intestinal colic (Pan Chang Nei Diao Tong). Use Ban liang of Ezhu, mix with one qian of Asarum dissolved in water, soak for one day and night, dry and grind. Take one zi each time, washed down with Perilla soup. (*Baoyou Daquan*)
Infant Qi pain: Roast Peng'ezhu until cooked, grind into powder. Take one large qian with hot wine. (*Shiquan Bojiu Fang*)
Upper asthma and rapid breathing: Peng'ezhu 5 qian, decoct in 1.5 cups of wine until reduced to 0.8 cup, then take. (*Baosheng Fang*)
Shortness of breath and inability to sustain respiration: Zhengyuan San: Treats inability to sustain respiration, also treats slippery discharge, and frequent urination. Chancellor Wang found it effective. Use Peng'ezhu 1 liang, Jinlingzi (pitted) 1 liang, grind into powder, add Pengsha 1 qian, refine and grind finely. Take two qian each time, wash down with warm wine or salt soup on an empty stomach. (Sun Yonghe *Mibao Fang*)
