味甘,气性平、寒。无毒。选择身体强壮及刚生产过妇女的乳汁,且取在蒸饭时恰好凝结成块的部分,药效更强。如果像平常一样用口吮吸,容易追求短期的功效。将乳汁多收集后晒干,可以备用供长期服用。如果想要让药力流行于经络,务必加入纯酒调和吞服。与四物汤混合,共同补充精血;加入四君子汤中,一同增益元阳。对于肌肉消瘦、皮肤发黄、毛发干枯焦脆的人,应迅速寻找使用;对于筋脉拘挛、骨骼痿弱、肠胃便秘涩滞的人,应当寻求使用。它能强健四肢,滋养五脏,明亮眼目,愉悦容颜。安定养护神魂,滑利关格阻滞。
(陈嘉谟)按语:妇女的血,下行成为月经,上行转化为乳汁。乳汁停止分泌,月经则通畅;乳汁运行分泌,月经则闭止。异名同类的道理,人们所共知。经书说:眼睛得到血的滋养就能视物,耳朵得到血的滋养就能听声,手得到血的滋养就能抓取,手掌得到血的滋养就能握持,脚得到血的滋养就能行走,脏腑得到血的滋养就能产生津液,六腑得到血的滋养就能产生气机。这样看来,人体所赖以滋养的,无不依赖血的流通。动作过多,不免导致气血衰败枯竭。补血药物,世间多用熟地黄、当归。却不知道草木类药物,乃是得天地偏颇之气。用来治疗血病,力量固然有余;但用来补益血虚衰弱,力量还未能达到。哪里比得上频繁服用人的乳汁,以同类相从,如同灯中添加油,立刻见到光亮。不仅血液补充没有亏缺,而且那些因血致病的原因,也由此调养滋达而自愈。然而血属于阴,其性质极冷,凡是内脏有寒症的人,又应当谨慎使用。
味苦,气性温、小寒。无毒。取头发根部,用药宜用陈久的。烧成炭灰而保留药性,入药剂用汤水调服。一名血余,补阴非常快捷。对于吐血、鼻出血、血闷、血晕、血痢、血淋等症状,服用它即可止血;对于燕口疮、豌豆疮、伤风、风邪、惊热、惊痫,得到此药容易痊愈。通利关格五癃,畅通小便水道。初剃下的胎发,是血的嫩苗。年老时得到它,甚能补益衰败枯竭。常人脱落的乱发,颜色黑润的为良材。烧制方法同上,血证也使用。可止赤白痢疾,通利大、小便。或者误吞头发缠绕喉咙,取自己的头发灰,用水调送下去;倘若破伤风毒气侵入脑部,加入何首乌粉末,用酒浸泡灌服使其苏醒。又可与诸药一起熬膏,可贴敷痈疽以消肿。篦子刮下的头垢,名叫百齿霜。制成丸剂治疗淋证闭阻不通,这是伤寒劳复后的病症;调成膏剂治疗吞咽酸水,以及百魅鬼邪之症。竹木刺扎在肉中,用唾液调和涂抹即能取出;(飞丝点眼治两目不适立效。)卒中酒毒或蕈毒,用酒化开服用逐渐安宁。(乳痈初起,用酒服用也有效。)剪下的胡须烧成灰,敷治痈疮也能痊愈。
男子的阴毛若含在口中咽下汁液,蛇蝎毒气便不会进入腹中伤人。
Taste is sweet, nature is neutral and cold. Non-toxic. Select milk from women who are physically robust or have recently given birth, specifically the portion that coagulates into clumps during steaming rice, as its efficacy is superior. If taken by ordinary sucking from the mouth, it tends to seek short-term benefits. Collecting a large amount and sun-drying it makes it suitable for long-term use. To facilitate its circulation through the meridians, it must be mixed with pure wine and swallowed. Mixed with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), it jointly supplements essence and blood; added to Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), it together benefits primordial yang. For those with emaciated muscles, sallow skin, and dry, brittle hair, it should be sought quickly; for those with tendon spasms, skeletal flaccidity, and constipation with intestinal dryness, it should be sought. It strengthens the four limbs, nourishes the five zang organs, brightens the eyes, and beautifies the complexion. It calms and nourishes the shen (spirit) and hun (ethereal soul), and unblocks guan-ge (obstructions).
(Chen Jiamo) Commentary: Women's blood descends to become menstruation and ascends to transform into breast milk. When breast milk secretion ceases, menstruation becomes smooth; when breast milk flows, menstruation stops. This principle of different names but same category is well known. The classics state: "The eyes see when they receive blood, the ears hear when they receive blood, the hands grasp when they receive blood, the palms hold when they receive blood, the feet walk when they receive blood, the zang organs produce fluids when they receive blood, and the fu organs generate qi when they receive blood." Thus, all nourishment in the human body relies on the flow of blood. Excessive movement inevitably leads to depletion. Blood-nourishing medicines commonly used in the world include Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis). However, one does not realize that herbal plants obtain the biased qi of heaven and earth. While their power is sufficient for treating blood diseases, it is still inadequate for replenishing blood deficiency. How can this compare to frequently consuming human breast milk, where like attracts like, just as adding oil to a lamp immediately produces light. Not only is blood replenished without deficit, but conditions caused by blood disorders also heal themselves through this nourishing regulation. Nevertheless, blood belongs to yin and has an extremely cold nature. Therefore, those with cold internal organs should exercise caution.
Taste is bitter, nature is warm and slightly cold. Non-toxic. Use hair from the root, preferably aged. Burn it to ash while preserving its medicinal properties, and take it mixed with decoction. Also known as Xueyu (Blood Remainder), it supplements yin very swiftly. It stops hematemesis (vomiting blood), epistaxis (nosebleed), blood stagnation, blood syncope, bloody dysentery, and strangury with blood; these symptoms cease upon ingestion. It facilitates recovery from angular cheilitis, smallpox, wind-cold, wind pathogens, febrile convulsions, and epileptic seizures. It unblocks guan-ge obstructions and pent-up stranguria (five types of urinary difficulty), promoting urination. Newborn lanugo is the tender shoot of blood. In old age, obtaining it greatly helps replenish depletion. Fallen hair from ordinary people, if black and lustrous, is of good quality. The burning preparation method is the same as above; it is also used for blood disorders. It stops bloody and white dysentery and promotes bowel and bladder movements. If hair is accidentally swallowed and wraps around the throat, take ash from one's own hair mixed with water; if tetanus toxin enters the brain, add powder of Heshouwu (Polygonum Multiflorum Root) and administer with wine to restore consciousness. It can also be boiled with other herbs into a plaster to apply on carbuncles and sores to reduce swelling. Scalp dandruff scraped off with a comb is named Baichishuang (Hundred-Tooth Frost). Made into pills, it treats stranguria and retention due to relapse after typhoid fever; made into a paste, it treats acid regurgitation and various demonic influences. For bamboo or wood splinters embedded in flesh, applying saliva mixed with it causes them to emerge. (Applying fly silk to the eyes brings immediate relief.) For acute alcohol poisoning or mushroom poisoning, dissolving it in wine and drinking it gradually alleviates symptoms. (For early-stage mastitis, taking it with wine is also effective.) Ash from burned beard hair applied to sores heals them. If male pubic hair is held in the mouth and its juice swallowed, snake and scorpion toxins will not enter the abdomen to harm the person.
