用蕤
（蕤，读音同“儒谁”。《神农本草经》列为上品）。
【释名】白蕤（音同“蕤”）。
李时珍说：《尔雅》中提到的“白蕤”，就是这种植物。它的花和果实低垂下垂的样子，所以称为“蕤”，后人写作“蕤”。柞树也有叫“蕤”的，但物产不同。
【集解】《名医别录》说：蕤核生长在函谷川谷以及巴西地区。
陶弘景说：现在出产于彭城。大小像乌豆，形状圆而扁，有纹理，样子像胡桃核。现在的人都带壳使用，这应该破开取仁后称重。
苏保升说：现在出产于雍州。树木生长，叶子细长像枸杞但更狭长，花白色。果实附着在茎上生长，紫红色，大小像五味子。茎上有很多细刺。五月、六月成熟，采集果实晒干。
苏颂说：现在河东、并州也有出产。树木高五、七尺，茎间有刺。
仁
【修治】曰：凡是使用蕤核仁，用热水浸泡去皮、去尖，掰成两片。每四两蕤核仁，用芒硝一两，木通草七两，一起煮一个时辰（约两小时），取出仁研成膏入药。
【气味】甘味，温性，无毒。《名医别录》说：微寒。
吴普说：神农、雷公认为：甘味，无毒。生长在平地，八月采集。
【主治】心腹部的邪气结聚，明目，眼睛红肿疼痛流泪，眼睑肿胀溃烂。长期服用，能轻身益气，不感饥饿（《神农本草经》）。
增强意志，使耳目聪明（《吴普》）。破除……治疗鼻出血（甄权）
【发明】陶弘景说：医方中只用来治疗眼病，《仙经》中用来制作守中丸。苏颂说：按：刘禹锡《传信方》中记载的治疗眼法非常奇特。说：眼睛受风流泪发痒，或者生翳膜，或者发红，所有情况都主治。宣州黄连（粉末）、蕤核仁（去皮，研成膏）等分混合均匀，取无灰干枣二枚，切下顶部，去掉核，用这两种药物填满，再把切下的顶部盖合固定，用少量薄棉包裹，按照大茶碗的量取半碗水，在银器中，用文火武火交替煎取如鸡蛋大小的量，用棉布过滤装入罐中收藏，点眼，万万不会失误。前后试验了几十人都有效，现在的医生也多用此法且见效。
【附方】新收录七首。
春雪膏：治疗肝虚，风热上攻，眼睛昏暗，发痒疼痛隐涩，红肿怕光，不能远视，迎风流泪，多见黑花。用蕤仁（去皮，压榨去油）二两，冰片二钱半，研匀，生蜜六钱调和收存，点眼。（《太平惠民和剂局方》）。
百点膏：治疗一切眼疾。蕤仁（去油）三钱，甘草、防风各六钱，黄连五钱，用这三味药熬取浓汁，然后加入蕤仁膏，每日点眼。（孙氏《集效方》）。
拨云膏：去除翳膜。蕤仁（去油）五分，青盐一分，猪胰子五钱，共同捣两千下如泥状，装入罐中收藏。点眼。又一方：蕤仁一两去油，加入白硼砂一钱，麝香二分，研匀收存。去翳效果妙不可言。
飞血眼：蕤仁一两（去皮），细辛半两，苦竹叶三把（洗净），水二升，煎取一升，滤出汁液，频繁微温清洗。
赤烂眼：《近效方》：用蕤仁四十九个（去皮），胡粉（颜色如金色）如鸡蛋大小，研匀，加入酥油如杏仁许，龙脑如三粒豆子许，研匀，用油纸包裹收存。每次取麻子大小的量，涂在大小眼睑上，频繁使用取效。《经验良方》：用蕤
(Rui, pronounced "ru shui". Listed as Superior Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing*).
[Names] Bai Rui (pronounced "rui").
Li Shizhen said: What is mentioned in *Erya* as "Bai Rui" is this plant. Its flowers and fruits hang downwards, hence it is called "Rui", later written as "Rui". The oak tree is also named "Rui", but the substance is different.
[Collection and Explanation] *Mingyi Bielu* states: Rui He grows in the valleys of Hangu River and Baxi.
Tao Hongjing said: It is now produced in Pengcheng. It is as large as a black soybean, round and flat in shape, with textures, resembling a walnut kernel. Nowadays, people use it with the shell; it should be cracked to take the kernel and weighed.
Su Baosheng said: It is now produced in Yongzhou. It grows on trees, leaves are slender like goji berry but narrower and longer, flowers are white. Fruits grow attached to the stem, purple-red in color, as large as Schisandra chinensis (Wuweizi). Stems have many fine thorns. They ripen in May and June; fruits are collected and sun-dried.
Su Song said: It is also found in Hedong and Bingzhou. The tree is five or seven chi high, stems have thorns.
Kernel
[Processing] [Name missing] said: When using Rui He Kernel, soak in hot water, remove skin and tip, split into two halves. For every four liang of Rui He Kernel, use one liang of Mangxiao (Mirabilite), seven liang of Mutong Cao (Akebia Caulis), boil together for one fu time (approx. 2 hours), take out the kernel and grind into paste for medicinal use.
[Flavor and Nature] Sweet, warm, non-toxic. *Mingyi Bielu* says: Slightly cold.
Wu Pu said: Shennong and Leigong considered it: Sweet, non-toxic. Grows in flatlands, collected in August.
[Indications] Evil qi accumulation in the heart and abdomen, brightens the eyes, redness and pain of eyes with tearing, swelling and ulceration of eyelids. Long-term consumption lightens the body, benefits qi, and prevents hunger (*Shennong Bencao Jing*).
Strengthens willpower, clarifies ears and eyes (*Wu Pu*). Breaks... treats epistaxis (Zhen Quan)
[Invention/Elucidation] Tao Hongjing said: Medical formulas only use it to treat eye diseases; *Xianjing* uses it to make Shouzhong Wan. Su Song said: According to: Liu Yuxi's *Chuanxin Fang* records a very unique method for treating eyes. It says: For wind-tearing and itching eyes, or formation of nebula (corneal opacity), or redness, all are primarily treated by this. Xuanzhou Huanglian (powder), Rui He Kernel (skin removed, ground into paste) mixed in equal parts. Take two dried jujubes without ash, cut off the top, remove the pit, fill with the two substances, replace the top, wrap in thin cotton. Add half a bowl of water measured by a large tea bowl, decoct in a silver vessel using alternating mild and strong fire until reduced to the size of a chicken egg. Filter through cotton and store in a jar. Instill into eyes; ten thousand times without failure. Tested on dozens of people previously and all responded; current physicians also use it frequently with good effect.
[Attached Formulas] Seven new ones.
Chunxue Gao (Spring Snow Ointment): Treats liver deficiency, wind-heat attacking upwards, dim vision, itching and painful tightness, redness and swelling, photophobia, inability to see far, tearing in wind, frequent appearance of black spots. Use Ruiren (skin removed, pressed to remove oil) two liang, Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum) two qian half, grind evenly, mix with six qian of raw honey and store. Instill into eyes. (*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*).
Baidian Gao (Hundred Drops Ointment): Treats all eye diseases. Ruiren (oil removed) three qian, Gancao (Licorice Root) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) each six qian, Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) five qian. Decoct the first three ingredients to obtain thick juice, then add Ruiren paste. Instill daily. (Sun's *Jixiao Fang*).
Boyun Gao (Cloud-Pushing Ointment): Removes nebula/membrane. Ruiren (oil removed) five fen, Qingyan (Halitum) one fen, Zhuyanzi (Porcine Pancreas) five qian. Pound together two thousand times until mud-like, store in jar. Instill. Another formula: Ruiren one liang (oil removed), enter Baipengsha (Borax) one qian, Shexiang (Moschus) two fen, grind evenly and store. Removing nebula is wonderfully effective.
Feixue Yan (Flying Blood Eye): Ruiren one liang (skin removed), Xixin (Asarum) half liang, Ku Zhuye (Bitter Bamboo Leaf) three handfuls (washed). Water two sheng, decoct to one sheng, filter juice, wash frequently while slightly warm.
Chilan Yan (Red Ulcerating Eye): *Jin Xiao Fang*: Use Ruiren forty-nine pieces (skin removed), Hufen (Lead Carbonate) as large as a chicken egg (golden color), grind evenly, enter Su (Butyrum) as large as an almond, Longnao (Camphora) as large as three beans, grind evenly, wrap in oil paper and store. Each time take a size of hemp seed, apply to upper and lower eyelids, use frequently for effect. *Jingyan Liangfang*: Use Ru
