丽春草
味甘,性微温,无毒。产于檀山山谷之中,檀山位于高密地界。河南的淮阳郡、颍川以及谯郡、汝南郡等地,都称它为龙芊草。河北靠近山区的地方、邺郡等地,叫它兰艾。上党的紫团山也有出产,名叫定参草。
它对于治疗阴黄症有极佳的疗效,但世人大多不知晓。唐代天宝年间,因颍川郡人杨正进推荐,名医们曾使用并证实有效。单独服用此药,主治黄疸等症。其方剂记载如下:丽春草,用于治疗因调养不当导致的热邪损伤,进而转变为阴黄症。症状表现为全身壮热,小便黄赤,眼睛呈金色,面色青黑,心口部位气痛,疼痛如针刺环绕心胸,头晕目眩欲跌倒,兼有胁下有瘕积之气及黄疸等症。药材需阴干处理。患有上述病症者,取花一升,捣碎成散剂。每天清晨空腹时,取三方寸匕的药粉,用酒调和一次服下。间隔五日后再次服用,以见效为限度。其根部也能治疗黄疸。患黄疸者,捣烂根部取汁一盏,空腹一次性服下。服药后不久,即会腹泻两三次,疾病立刻痊愈。若一剂不能全愈,间隔七日后服用第二剂,即可彻底治愈。服药期间忌食酒、面食、猪肉、鱼、蒜、米粉、奶酪等。
坐拿草
生长在江西及滁州地区。六月开紫花并结实。采集其苗叶入药。当地人用它治疗跌打损伤,兼能强壮筋骨。治疗风痹症。江西北部很容易获得,后来因为人们使用有效,如今价格颇为贵重。《神医普救》一书中的治风方中,已有使用此药的记载。
紫堇
味酸,性微温,无毒。原产于江南吴兴郡。淮南地区叫它楚葵,宜春郡叫它蜀堇,豫章郡叫它苔菜,晋陵郡叫它水卜菜。只产于江淮以南地区。单独服用,可治疗大人和小孩的脱肛等症。其方剂记载如下:紫堇草,主治饮食过量导致的暴痢不止,肛门脱出,久治不愈者。春季采收紫堇花二斤,晒干后与盐一两混合,研磨成细末,涂抹于肛门处,然后纳入体内。纳入后,让人用冷水泼在其脸上,即可使脱出的肠管吸入体内。每天涂药一次,不超过六七次即可痊愈。另外,取半升温热的酒,调和一方寸匕的药散,空腹服用,每日两次,逐渐增加至每次一方寸匕,以见效为限度。若是五岁以下的小儿,则取约半个杏子大小的药散,用酒调和给小儿服用,效果也很好。忌食生冷食物和陈仓米等。
Lichun Cao (Spring Beauty Herb)
Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Grows in the valleys of Tan Mountain, which is located within the boundaries of Gaomi. In Henan's Huaiyang Commandery, Yingchuan, as well as Qiao Commandery and Runan Commandery, it is collectively called Longqian Cao (Dragon Orchid Grass). In areas near mountains in Hebei and Ye Commandery, it is named Lan Ai (Orchid Mugwort). It is also found on Zituan Mountain in Shangdang, where it is known as Ding Shen Cao (Stabilizing Ginseng Grass).
It is highly effective in treating Yin Jaundice (a type of jaundice characterized by cold-dampness or deficiency-cold), though few people are aware of this. During the Tianbao era of the Tang Dynasty, due to the recommendation by Yang Zhengjin from Yingchuan Commandery, renowned physicians used it with confirmed efficacy. Taken alone, it primarily treats jaundice and related conditions. The prescription states: Lichun Cao treats Yin Jaundice resulting from improper lifestyle leading to heat injury transforming into Yin Jaundice. Symptoms include severe fever throughout the body, yellow-red urine, eyes appearing golden, a bluish-black complexion, Qi pain in the heart region, stabbing pain surrounding the heart like needles, dizziness and vertigo as if fainting, accompanied by mass-like Qi accumulation under the ribs and jaundice. The herb should be dried in the shade. For those suffering from these ailments, take one sheng (a unit of volume) of the flowers, pound them into a powder. Every morning on an empty stomach, take three square-inch spoonsful (fang cun bi) of the powder, mix with wine, and take once. After five days, administer again, continuing until therapeutic effects are observed. The root also treats jaundice. Patients with jaundice should crush the root, extract one cup of juice, and consume it all at once on an empty stomach. Shortly after ingestion, there will be two or three bowel movements, and the disease will immediately cease. If one dose does not fully cure the condition, administer another dose after seven days for permanent recovery. Avoid alcohol, wheat products, pork, fish, garlic, rice flour, and dairy products.
Zuona Cao (Seizing-Holding Grass)
Grows in Jiangxi and Chuzhou. Blooms purple flowers and bears fruit in June. Its seedlings are harvested for medicinal use. Locals use it to treat injuries from falls and blows, and it also strengthens muscles and bones. It treats Wind-Bi syndrome (painful obstruction caused by wind-dampness). It is easily obtained in northern Jiangxi; later, due to its proven efficacy, it became quite expensive. The text *Shenyi Pujiu* (Divine Physician's Universal Rescue) mentions its use in prescriptions for treating Wind disorders.
Zijin (Corydalis Bungeana / Purple Corydalis)
Sour in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Originally produced in Wuxing Commandery, Jiangnan. In Huainan, it is called Chu Kui; in Yichun Commandery, Shu Jin; in Yuzhang Commandery, Tai Cai; and in Jinling Commandery, Shui Bu Cai. It grows only south of the Huai River and Yangtze River. Taken alone, it treats prolapse of the rectum in both adults and children. The prescription states: Zijin Cao primarily treats excessive food intake leading to sudden persistent dysentery and rectal prolapse that has not healed over time. In spring, collect two jin (a unit of weight) of Zijin flowers, dry them in the sun, mix with one liang (a unit of weight) of salt, grind into a fine powder, apply to the anus, and insert the prolapsed part back inside. After insertion, have someone splash cold water on the patient's face, which facilitates the retraction of the intestine into the abdominal cavity. Apply the medicine once daily; no more than six or seven applications are needed for recovery. Alternatively, mix one fang cun bi of the powder with half a sheng of warm wine and take it on an empty stomach. Start with twice daily, gradually increasing to two fang cun bi per dose, until therapeutic effects are observed. For children under five years old, give approximately the amount of powder fitting half an apricot kernel, mixed with wine, which is also effective. Avoid raw/cold foods and aged stored rice.
