并非生长在溪湖之中。有的生长在屋顶或墙壁上,年代久远的品质较好。
气味甘寒。主治痰饮积聚及胃脘痛。治疗反胃膈气、痰嗽、湿痰心痛。将白螺蛳壳洗净,烧至存性(保留药物基本性质而除去部分水分和杂质)。
研成粉末。
痘疮溃烂后难以收敛愈合,取墙上生长的白螺蛳壳洗净,研成粉末外掺于患处。
〔论〕 田螺产于水田中(非海螺),其壳有旋纹。其肉质随月亮的盈亏而变化。(王充说:月亮在天上亏损,田螺的肉也随之消减。)这观察到了阳气凝结的道理吗?屋上的螺壳能开通湿热之气。
魁蛤即现在的蚶。其壳名为瓦垄子。形状像小蛤蜊但较圆,背部隆起的沟纹像房屋瓦垄一样。浙东地区在近海田地养殖,称为蚶田。肉质味道极佳,汲取了水中的阳气,味甘气平,可以糟制其肉作为佐酒之物。很少入药使用。
瓦垄子味甘咸,气平。主治血块消散、痰积化解。烧过后用醋淬炼,制成醋丸服用,治疗一切血气冷气引起的症癖。连肉一起烧至存性,研末外敷,治疗小儿走马牙疳,有效。
〔论〕 蚶的肉非常甘甜,甘味能和血。壳味甘兼咸平,其疗效应当比那些只有咸味的其他贝壳更显著。
〔修治〕 选取陈久的药材,用炭火烧红,用米醋淬炼三次,去除火毒,研成粉末使用。
玳瑁入药必须用生的。因为生品性味完整。一旦经过汤煮火烧,就不堪使用了。这与生犀角和熟犀角的道理相同。
玳瑁气味甘寒。主治解除岭南地区的百药毒。破除症结肿块,消除痈肿,止住惊痫。(日华子说)主治心风解烦热,行气血,利大小肠。(陈士良说)又能解痘毒,神效。玳瑁属于龟类,禀受水中至阴之气,所以气寒而能解毒。
玳瑁生于……(原文此处有缺漏/乱码,推测为描述产地或形态,如“同磨”可能指研磨,“地”可能指产地或质地,“缪氏”指医家缪希雍等,但根据上下文主要讲功效与禁忌)。
痘疮虚寒不起发者,不宜服用。
It does not grow in streams or lakes. Some grow on roofs or walls; those that have been there for many years are of good quality.
The flavor is sweet and the nature is cold. It primarily treats phlegm-fluid retention accumulation and epigastric pain. It manages regurgitation, chest obstruction (Ge Qi), phlegmatic cough, and heart pain due to damp-phlegm. The white conch shell (Bai Luosi Ke) should be washed clean, calcined until it retains its medicinal properties (burned to preserve efficacy while removing moisture/impurities), and then ground into powder.
For chickenpox lesions that fail to heal and close up, wash the white conch shell found on walls, grind it into powder, and apply it externally as a dusting powder.
[Discussion] Field snails are produced in paddy fields (not sea snails); their shells have spiral patterns. Their meat changes with the waxing and waning of the moon. (Wang Chong stated: "When the moon wanes in the sky, the field snail's meat diminishes.") Does this observation relate to the condensation of Yang Qi? The shells of snails on houses can open up damp-heat stagnation.
Kui Ge (Hairy Clam) is the current Arca shell. Its shell is named Walong Zi (Tile Ridge Shell). It resembles a small clam but is rounder, with raised ridges on the back resembling the tiles of a roof. In eastern Zhejiang, they are cultivated in near-sea fields called "clam fields." The meat tastes excellent, absorbing the Yang Qi of water; its flavor is sweet and its nature is neutral. It can be pickled in wine lees to serve as an accompaniment to alcohol. It is rarely used in herbal medicine.
Walong Zi has a sweet and salty flavor and a neutral nature. It primarily resolves blood stasis masses and transforms phlegm accumulations. After calcination, it is quenched in vinegar and formed into pills with vinegar for oral administration to treat all types of blood qi, cold qi, and abdominal masses. When burned together with the meat until it retains its medicinal properties, it is ground and applied externally to treat infantile gangrenous stomatitis (Zouma Yagan), which is effective.
[Discussion] The meat of the clam is very sweet; sweetness harmonizes the blood. The shell is sweet and slightly salty and neutral; its efficacy should be superior to other shells that possess only a salty taste.
[Processing] Select aged specimens. Charcoal-fire roast until red, quench three times in rice vinegar to remove fire toxicity, then grind into powder for use.
Daimao (Tortoise Carapace) must be used raw for medicinal purposes because the raw form preserves its complete nature and flavor. Once subjected to boiling or burning, it becomes unsuitable for use. This principle is the same as that distinguishing raw rhinoceros horn from processed rhinoceros horn.
Daimao has a sweet flavor and cold nature. It primarily resolves hundred-drug poison in Lingnan, breaks up mass formations, reduces carbuncles and swellings, and stops convulsions and epilepsy. (Ri Huazi states it treats Heart Wind, relieves irritability and heat, promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood, and unblocks the Large and Small Intestines.) (Chen Shiliang adds) It can also resolve chickenpox toxin with miraculous effect. Daimao belongs to the turtle family, inheriting the extreme Yin Qi of water; therefore, its nature is cold and it detoxifies.
[Daimao grows in...] [Text contains fragments: "same grind", "earth", "Miao family"]. For cases of chickenpox that are deficient and cold and fail to erupt, it should not be taken.
