【藜芦】
有毒。治疗香港脚(足部肿胀麻木)风肿不仁。(方法:蒸熟捣烂包裹患处,每日更换两三次,即可消退。)止鼻出血。(用油涂抹后炙热,敷于鼻部,效果显著。)
《千金方》中的神草方,专门治疗风湿瘫痪、手足麻木、半身不遂、周身麻木或酸痛、身体歪斜等症,均有神奇疗效。取蓖麻子草,夏秋季节用叶,冬春季节用根茎,各取一二十斤,放入木甑中,置于大锅上蒸至半熟。取出后,先将几尺长的绵布对折,浸入蒸叶子剩下的汤液中,取出趁热敷在患处;然后将热的叶子铺在布上,待温度适宜后,再换一层热叶子。如此反复蒸煮更换,直到患者出汗为止。病情重的蒸五次,轻的蒸三次,病即可痊愈。同时内服疏风活血的药物以辅助治疗。
【藜芦】
颜色黎黑。其芦头有黑皮包裹,因此得名。根部周围像葱一样。(就像葱有须根一样)。俗称葱管藜芦。北方人称之为“须”。
味辛苦,气寒,有毒。归手太阴肺经和足阳明胃经。黄连作为它的引经药。与细辛、芍药、人参、沙参、紫参、丹参、苦参相畏。
生于山地。生长一两年后采收。大约采一二斗,服用后汗出如洗,甚至昏沉困倦,三天才能恢复。
中毒救治:如果误食,咬碎一齿(指牙齿磨碎),浓煎藜芦汤灌服,片刻后会打嗝排气。
若痰声如拉锯,口流涎沫,可用葱管藜芦二两,加水淬炼数次,过滤干净。将十个雄猪胆取汁,加入药液中。熬黄研末,用蜜制成小豆大小的丸药。每次空腹服一丸。在未发病时服用。
若牙关紧闭,挖开嘴巴,使痰液排出,任其吐出。
对于结聚如惊恐状的症状,若巴豆不能去除结聚,取巴豆半两,去皮心炒制,捣碎为末。每吞服一二丸。按藜芦的功效专在于催吐,而巴豆畏忌藜芦。后两个方剂,一个是猛烈的催吐法,一个是峻下的泻法,合入胃中,驱除痰浊,逐散结聚,使上下气机的壅滞得以疏通。
〔论〕 藜芦气寒,味辛而苦,具有发散涌泄的作用,专门主治风痰。盖因风木之气以水为母,火为子。寒性下沉,风性上扬。藜芦能宣畅子气(火气),使得风邪壅滞于下不得下行者,义理上采取从治的方法使其向上涌越。如果不是其苦味至极,也不能在短时间内取得必吐的效果。看它夏天生长冬天凋谢,水生者便不入药,可以思考其炎上的性质了。
服用一匕(量词,古代计量单位),就会让人胸中烦闷,呕吐不止。凡是有痰饮,或者中蛊毒恶气的人,借助其空吐上涌的力量,获得疗效。
〔修治〕 去掉芦头,只剔取根部。用糯米泔水浸泡一夜,微炒后使用。不入汤药(煎剂)。
[Liri]
Toxic. Treats Hongxiangjiao (gouty swelling and numbness of the feet) with wind-induced swelling and insensitivity. (Method: Steam until half-cooked, pound into a paste, and apply as a compress to the affected area. Change two to three times daily; it will subside.) Stops epistaxis. (Apply with oil, heat by roasting, and place on the nose; highly effective.)
The "Shencao Fang" (Miracle Herb Formula) from *Qianjin Fang* specializes in treating wind-damp paralysis, numbness of hands and feet, hemiplegia, generalized numbness or soreness, and bodily deviation, all of which respond miraculously. Take *Ricini Fructus* (Castor Bean) plants: use leaves in summer and autumn, and roots/stems in winter and spring. Collect about ten to twenty jin. Place in a wooden steamer set over a large pot and steam until half-cooked. Remove. Fold several chi of cotton cloth double, immerse it in the broth left from steaming the leaves, remove, and apply while hot to the affected area. Then, spread a layer of hot leaves on the cloth. When warm, replace with another layer of hot leaves. Repeat this steaming and changing process until the patient sweats. For severe cases, steam five times; for mild cases, three times. The disease will then heal. Internally administer wind-dispelling and blood-invigorating herbs to assist.
[Lili]
Dark black in color. Its rhizome is wrapped in black skin, hence the name. The base of the root resembles scallions (similar to how scallions have fibrous roots). Commonly known as Congguan Lili. People in the north call it "Xu".
Pungent and bitter in taste, cold in nature, toxic. Enters the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) acts as its guide drug. It is incompatible with Xixin (Asarum Root), Shaoyao (Peony Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Shashen (Adenophora Root), Zizan (Bupleurum Root), Danshen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root), and Kushen (Phellodendron Bark).
Grows in mountainous areas. Harvest after one to two years of growth. Approximately collect one to two dou. After ingestion, profuse sweating occurs like being washed, leading to severe drowsiness and fatigue, recovering after three days.
Li Dongyuan stated: "Hancongmiao (Foolish Scallion Sprout) is the Lili described in the Materia Medica." (Quoted from Zhang Zihe).
Treatment for poisoning: If ingested accidentally, chew and crush one tooth, decoct Lili thickly, and administer the liquid. Within a short while, belching and passing gas will occur.
If phlegm sounds like sawing wood and saliva flows from the mouth, take two liang of Congguan Lili, quench in water several times, filter cleanly. Extract juice from ten male pig gallbladders. Add to the medicinal liquid. Decoct until yellow, grind into powder, and make pills the size of small beans. Take one pill on an empty stomach. Administer before symptoms manifest.
If the jaw is tightly closed, pry open the mouth to allow phlegm to exit, letting it be expelled freely.
For conditions where clumps form resembling shock/fear, if Baidu does not resolve the accumulation, take half a liang of Baidu, remove skin and heart, stir-fry, and grind into powder. Swallow one or two pills at a time. According to the efficacy of Lili, it specializes in inducing vomiting, whereas Baidu fears Lili. The latter two formulas represent violent emesis and drastic purgation methods, entering the stomach to drive out phlegm and scatter accumulations, thereby unblocking the stagnation of Qi in the upper and lower regions.
[Discussion] Lili is cold in nature, pungent and bitter in taste, possessing dispersing and upward-venting properties, specializing in treating wind-phlegm. Since Wind-Wood considers Water as its mother and Fire as its child, coldness tends to sink while wind tends to rise. Lili can vigorously promote the Qi of the child element (Fire), allowing wind-pathogens stagnant below and unable to descend to be treated according to their nature and vented upwards. Without its extreme bitterness, it could not achieve the effect of inevitable vomiting in a short time. Observing that it grows in summer and withers in winter, and those grown in water are not used in medicine, one can contemplate its flaming-upward nature.
Taking one bi (a small measure), causes chest stuffiness and incessant vomiting. For those with phlegm-fluid retention or poisoned by gu-toxin and evil qi, borrowing its power of empty vomiting and upward surging, therapeutic effects are achieved.
[Processing] Remove the rhizome head, only retaining the roots. Soak in rice-washing water overnight, lightly stir-fry, and use. Not suitable for decoctions (soups).
