又名KT 。产于上谷川谷及冤句等地。九月九日采收，阴干。（蓼实为其使药，忌与丹参、硝石、白垩同用，畏紫石英。）
陶隐居说：《礼记》中称为 ，而民间称为KT （音杀）子。这大概是因为不认识 字，因其字形似KT 字，便沿袭相传。其根部向南或向东生长的品质较好。道家去除三尸虫的方剂中也使用它。唐本注说：《尔雅·释木》记载：椒KT丑， 。陆氏《草木疏》说：椒KT 属也有叫KT 的，陶隐居搞错了。
臣禹锡等谨按《药性论》：吴茱萸，味苦、辛，性大热，有毒。能主治心腹疾病，积聚冷邪，心下结气疰痛，心痛，治疗霍乱转筋，胃中冷气，呕吐腹泻腹痛剧烈难忍者可治愈，治疗全身痹症，冷食不消，通利大肠壅滞之气。削去外皮能治疗漆疮，主治中恶，腹中刺痛，痢疾不止，治疗寸白虫。《博雅》说：KT 即越椒，也就是茱萸。 （音考）孟诜说：茱萸，主治心痛，降气，除呕逆，脏冷。另外果皮可止齿痛。又有患风瘙痒痛者，取茱萸一升，清酒五升，一起煮，取汁一升半去渣，用汁暖洗患处。对于中贼风口眼歪斜不能说话者，取茱萸一升，清酒一升，一起煮四、五沸。冷却后服半升，每日三次，微微出汗则病愈。谨按：能杀鬼疰气。另外开目的茱萸不堪食用。又有鱼骨卡在腹中刺痛者，煮一盏汁服用可止。还有骨头长在肉中长不出来的，嚼碎敷贴，骨头会腐烂排出。脚气冲心，可配合生姜汁饮用，效果很好。日华子说：健脾，通关节，治疗霍乱，泻痢，消痰，破症癖，驱风，治腹痛，肾气，脚气，水肿，排产后余血。又说茱萸叶，性热，无毒。治疗霍乱，降气，止心腹痛，冷气。内外肾牵引痛，用盐研碎敷贴，神效。干了再浸湿重复使用，治疗霍乱脚筋挛急，配合艾草用醋汤拌敷，妙极。陈藏器说：子根浓煮浸泡痔疮，有疗效。烧成末服用也主治痔病。又《尔雅》说：栎实，就是 。其子房生长为 。另外赤爪草一名羊 ，一名鼠查球。这只是名字相同罢了。 像小山楂但呈红色，人们吃它。生长在高原。
图经曰：吴茱萸，产地上谷川谷及冤句，现在到处都有，江浙、蜀汉尤其多。树木高一丈多，皮青绿色。叶子像椿树但更宽厚，紫色。三月开红紫色花。七月、八月结成果实像花椒子，嫩时微黄，成熟后变深紫色。九月九日采收，阴干。《风土记》说：风俗崇尚九月九日称为上九，茱萸到这一天，气味烈熟色赤，可以折取其房插头上，说是辟恶气御冬。又《续齐谐记》说：汝南桓景，跟随费长房学习。费长房对他说：九月九日你家有灾厄，应该急忙离开家，各自做绛囊盛装茱萸系在手臂上，登高饮菊花酒，此祸可消。桓景照做，全家登高山，傍晚回来见鸡、犬、牛、羊一时暴死。费长房听说后说：这是代替了。所以世人每到这天，登高饮酒，戴茱萸囊，由此而来。世传茱萸气好上行，说其冲膈，不可作为服食之药。
以水五升，煎取三升。每次服七合，每日三次，干呕吐涎沫且头痛者也主治。另外其向南生长的枝条，主治大小便突然关格不通。取之切断如手第二指中节长度，含在口中立刻见效。出自姚僧垣方。根也入药用。《删繁方》治疗脾劳热，脾中有白虫致病，使人容易呕吐者。取东行茱萸根大的一个一尺，大麻子八升，桔皮二两，共三物切碎，以酒一斗浸泡一夜，微火薄暖，三次绞去渣。平旦空腹服一升，服尽，虫子便排出，或死或半烂，或排出黄汁。凡制药法，禁声，勿语道作药，虫子便排出验证。
雷公说：凡是使用，先去叶、核并杂物，用大盆一口，用盐水洗一百转，自然无涎，晒干，任入丸散中使用。修事十两用盐二两，研作末，投东流水四斗中，分作一百遍洗，别有大效。如果用醋煮，先沸醋三十余沸，后入茱萸，特醋尽，晒干。每用十两，使醋一溢为度。食疗：微温。主痢，止泻，浓肠胃。肥健人不宜多食。圣惠方：治疗阴毒伤寒，四肢逆冷，宜熨。茱萸一升，酒和匀湿，绢袋二只盛，蒸令极热，熨脚心，候气通畅，匀暖即停熨，累用验。外台秘要：集验熨症法：茱萸三升碎之，以酒和煮熟，布裹熨症上。冷更炒，更番用之。症移走，逐熨之，候消乃止也。又方：治疗痈疽发背及发乳房。茱萸一升，捣之，以苦酒和，贴痈上。又方：阴下湿痒。茱萸一升，水三升，煮三沸去滓，洗，痒瘥。千金方治寸白虫。茱萸根洗去土四两，切，以水、酒各一升，渍一宿。平旦分再服。凡茱萸皆用细根，东北阴者良。若稍大如指以上者，皆不任用。又方：治心腹内外痛。茱萸一升，酒三升，煎取半升。空心顿服之。千金翼：产后虚羸盗汗时啬啬恶寒。茱萸一鸡子大，以酒三升，渍半日，煮服。又方：主大人、小儿风疹。茱萸一升，酒五升，煮取一升，帛染拭之。又方：主头风。沐头：茱萸二升，水五升，煮取三升，以绵染拭发根，良。肘后方治中风不能语。豉、茱萸各一升，水五升，煮取二升，稍稍服之。又方：治肠痔、大便常血，下部痒痛如虫咬者。掘地作坑烧令赤，酒沃中捣茱萸二升纳中，乘热板开小孔，以下部榻上，冷乃下，不过三、四度即瘥。孙真人备急方赤痢，脐下痛。茱萸一合，黑豆汤吞之效。经验方治脾元气发歇痛不可忍者。茱萸一两，桃仁一两，和炒令茱萸焦黑后，去茱萸，取桃仁去皮尖，研细，葱白三茎，煨熟，以酒浸，温分三服。经验后方补水气药。赤茱萸二两，米醋煮烂，细研为膏，丸如梧桐子大，椒汤下七丸，空心服。兵部手集：治醋心，每醋气上攻如酽醋。茱萸一合，水三盏，煎七分，顿服。纵浓亦须强服，近有人，心如蜇破，服此方后，二十年不发。又方：治中风腹痛，或子肠脱出。茱萸三升，酒五升，煎取二升，分温三服。又方：小儿火灼疮。一名瘭浆疮，一名火烂疮。用酒煎茱萸拭上。杨氏产乳：疗中恶心痛。吴茱萸五合，以酒三升，煮三沸，分三服。
衍义曰：吴茱萸，须在深汤中浸去苦烈汁，凡六、七过，始可用。今文与注及注中药法皆不言，亦漏落也。此物下气最速，肠虚人服之愈甚。

Tao Hongjing stated: The "Book of Rites" refers to it as , while common people call it KT (pronounced sha) zi. This is likely due to unfamiliarity with the character , mistaking it for KT due to visual similarity, leading to transmission by tradition. Roots growing southward or eastward are superior. It is also used in Daoist formulas to eliminate the Three Corpses. The "Tang Ben Cao Zhu" notes: "The 'Erya · Shi Mu' states: Jiao KT chou, . Lu's 'Caomu Shu' states: The Jiao KT category also has a name KT ; Tao was mistaken."

For those suffering from wind-induced itching and pain, take one sheng of Zhuyu and five sheng of clear wine, boil together, obtain 1.5 sheng of liquid, remove dregs, and wash the affected area with the warm liquid. For facial paralysis due to wind-stroke inability to speak, take one sheng of Zhuyu and one sheng of clear wine, boil four or five times. Cool and take half sheng, three times daily; slight sweating indicates improvement. According to records: It kills ghost-related qi. Open-eyed Zhuyu is unfit for consumption.

"Fengtu Ji" states: Customs favor the ninth day of the ninth month as Shangjiu; Zhuyu becomes aromatic and ripe with red color on this day; its calyx can be inserted into the hair to ward off evil qi and resist winter cold. Also "Xu Qixie Ji" states: Huan Jing of Runan studied under Fei Changfang. Fei Changfang told him: On the ninth day of the ninth month, your home faces disaster; you should leave home immediately, make crimson pouches filled with Zhuyu to tie on arms, climb high mountains, drink chrysanthemum wine, and this disaster can be avoided. Huan Jing followed this advice, his whole family climbed a high mountain; returning in the evening, they saw chickens, dogs, cattle, and sheep suddenly die. Fei Changfang heard and said: This was substitution. Hence, people every year on this day climb high mountains, drink wine, wear Zhuyu pouches, originating from this. Tradition holds Zhuyu qi rises upward, saying it clashes with the diaphragm, so it should not be used as a dietary tonic.

Take one sheng on an empty stomach at dawn; upon completion, worms are expelled, dead or semi-digested, or yellow fluid is discharged. When preparing medicine, maintain silence, do not discuss the preparation process, ensuring worm expulsion verification.
Lei Gong stated: Generally, remove leaves, pits, and impurities first. Use a large basin, wash with salt water one hundred turns until saliva-free, sun-dry, then suitable for pills and powders. For processing ten liang, use two liang of salt, grind to powder, add to four dou of flowing east water, wash in one hundred portions for distinct efficacy. If boiling with vinegar, boil vinegar thirty times first, then add Zhuyu, until vinegar is exhausted, sun-dry. For every ten liang, use one yi of vinegar. Dietary therapy: Slightly warm. Treats dysentery, stops diarrhea, thickens intestines and stomach. Obese and healthy individuals should not consume excessively. Shenghui Fang: Treats yin toxicity cold damage with cold limbs, suitable for moxibustion/warming. One sheng of Zhuyu, moistened evenly with wine, placed in two silk bags, steamed until extremely hot, applied to soles of feet; stop warming when qi flows smoothly and warmth is uniform; repeatedly effective. Waitai Miyao: Collects verified warming methods: Crush three sheng of Zhuyu, mix with wine and cook, wrap in cloth and apply to painful masses. Re-cook when cool, alternate application. Follow the moving mass, apply until resolved. Another formula: Treats carbuncles, back sores, and breast abscesses. One sheng of Zhuyu, pounded, mixed with sour wine, applied to sores.

Roots larger than a finger are unusable. Another formula: Treats internal and external heart and abdominal pain. One sheng of Zhuyu, three sheng of wine, decoct to half sheng.

Hair washing: Two sheng of Zhuyu, five sheng of water, decoct to three sheng, soak cotton and wipe hair roots; good. Zhouhou Fang treats stroke with inability to speak. Fermented soybeans and Zhuyu, one sheng each, five sheng of water, decoct to two sheng, take gradually. Another formula: Treats intestinal hemorrhoids, chronic bloody stool, lower body itching and pain like insect bites. Dig a pit, heat until red, pour wine, pound two sheng of Zhuyu into it, place a board with small holes over the pit, sit on it while hot, get off when cool; three to four treatments suffice. Sun Simiao's Emergency Formula for red dysentery with umbilical pain: One he of Zhuyu swallowed with black bean soup is effective. Jingyan Fang treats unbearable intermittent spleen yuan qi pain. One liang of Zhuyu, one liang of peach kernels, stir-fry together until Zhuyu is charred black, remove Zhuyu, take peach kernels, remove skins and tips, grind finely, three stalks of scallion whites, baked熟, soaked in wine, divide into three warm doses. Jingyan Houfang supplements water qi herbs.

Yanyi stated: Wuzhuyu must be soaked in deep hot water to remove bitter acrid juices six or seven times before use. Current texts, annotations, and processing methods do not mention this, representing omissions. This herb directs qi downward most rapidly; those with deficient intestines suffer worsened symptoms upon ingestion.
