味辛，温，有小毒。主症结积聚，风劳虚冷。生山谷中。
唐本注云∶作藤蔓，叶似柘，花白，子如枣许，无定形，中瓤似茄子，味辛，啖之以当
姜、
浸服，或以酿酒，去风冷症癖，大效。所在皆有，今出安州、申州。今按陈藏器本草云∶木
天蓼，今时所用出凤州。树
高如冬青，不凋。出深山。人云多服损
蓼，岂更藤生？自有藤蓼尔。（唐本先
微热，无毒。能治中贼风，口面
斜，主冷 癖气块，女子虚劳。
图经曰∶木天蓼，味辛，温，有小毒。主症结积聚，风劳虚冷。生山谷中。木高二、三
丈。三月、四月开花，似柘
花。五月采子，子作球形似茼，其球子可藏，作果啖之。亦治诸冷气。苏恭云作藤蔓生者，
自是藤天蓼也。又有一种小天蓼，生天目山、四明山，木如栀子，
冬不凋。然则，天蓼有三种，虽其状不同，而体疗甚相似也。
圣惠方∶治风，立有奇效。用木天蓼一斤，去皮，细锉，以生绢袋盛，好酒二斗浸之，
春夏一七日、秋冬二七日后
开。每空心、日午、初夜各温饮一盏。老幼临时加减。若长服，日只每朝一盏。
味苦，平，有毒。主蛊毒鬼疰鬼魅，邪气在脏中，除咳逆寒热。一名凌泉，一名大就
。生蜀郡山谷。三月采根，阴干。（鸢尾为之使，恶茯苓、防己。）
陶隐居云∶似防己，亦作车辐理解。《蜀都赋》云∶青珠黄环者，或云是大戟花，定非
也。用甚稀，市人鲜有识者。
唐本注云∶此物，襄阳、巴西人谓之就葛。作藤生，根亦葛类，所
之。人取葛根，误得食之，
吐痢不止，用土浆解乃瘥，此真黄环也。余处亦稀，唯襄阳大有。《本经》用根。今云大戟
花非也。其子作角生，似皂荚。
花、实与葛同时矣。今园庭种之，大者茎径六、七寸，所在有之。谓其子名野狼跋子。今太常
科剑南来者，乃鸡屎葛根，非也。臣禹锡等谨按药性论云∶黄环，使，恶干姜，大寒，有小

木天蓼
味辛，性温，有小毒。主治症结积聚（腹内结块、气滞血瘀之证），风劳虚冷（因风邪侵袭及脏腑虚弱导致的寒冷感）。生长在山谷中。
《唐本草》注解说：它呈藤蔓状生长，叶子像柘树，花白色，果实像枣子大小，形状不固定，内部果肉像茄子，味道辛辣，食用它可以代替姜，或者浸泡后服用，也可以用来酿酒，能去除风冷引起的症癖（腹内结块），效果显著。各地都有，现在出产于安州、申州。现在考证陈藏器《本草》说：木天蓼，现在所用的产自凤州。树木高度像冬青树，冬天不落叶。出自深山。人们说多服会损伤蓼草，难道还有藤生的吗？自然有藤生的蓼类。（《唐本草》原本记载其微热，无毒。能治疗贼风（猝然感受的风邪），口眼歪斜，主治冷癖气块，女子虚劳。）
《图经本草》说：木天蓼，味辛，性温，有小毒。主治症结积聚，风劳虚冷。生长在山谷中。树木高两到三丈。三月、四月开花，像柘树的花。五月采集种子，种子呈球形像茼蒿的果实，那个球果可以收藏，作为水果食用。也能治疗各种冷气。苏恭说呈藤蔓状生长的是藤天蓼。又有一种小天蓼，生长在天目山、四明山，树木像栀子树，冬天不落叶。那么，天蓼有三种，虽然形状不同，但疗效非常相似。
《圣惠方》：治疗风病，立刻有奇效。用木天蓼一斤，去皮，切碎，用生绢袋装好，用好酒二斗浸泡，春夏季浸泡七天七夜，秋冬季浸泡十四天后开启。每次空腹、中午、初夜各温饮一盏。老人小孩根据情况加减剂量。如果长期服用，每天只早晨喝一盏。
黄环
味苦，性平，有毒。主治蛊毒、鬼疰（一种慢性消耗性传染病）、鬼魅（指邪祟致病），以及邪气在脏腑中，消除咳逆寒热。又名凌泉，又名大就。生长在蜀郡的山谷中。三月采集根部，阴干。（鸢尾为其使药，畏茯苓、防己。）
陶隐居说：样子像防己，也像车轮的辐条。《蜀都赋》说：“青珠黄环”，有人说这是大戟的花，肯定不是。使用很少，市场上很少有人认识。
《唐本草》注解说：这个东西，襄阳、巴西人叫它“就葛”。呈藤蔓生长，根也是葛类，所产之地……人们取葛根时，误食了它，导致呕吐腹泻不止，用土浆解毒才好，这才是真正的黄环。其他地方也稀少，只有襄阳大量出产。《本经》用根部。现在说是大戟花是不对的。它的果实呈角状生长，像皂荚。花和果实与葛同时出现。现在庭院里种植，大的茎径六、七寸，各地都有。称它的果实为野狼跋子。现在太常科从剑南送来的，是鸡屎葛根，不对。臣禹锡等谨慎按《药性论》说：黄环，使药，畏干姜，大寒，有小毒。
Mutiandiao (Caulis Tetrastigmas)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, slightly toxic. Primarily treats zhenjie jiju (abdominal masses and accumulations due to qi stagnation and blood stasis), fenglao xueleng (cold sensations caused by wind invasion and organ deficiency). Grows in mountain valleys.
The *Tang Bencao* annotation states: It grows as a vine, leaves resemble those of the mulberry tree (Zhe), flowers are white, fruits are date-sized, with indefinite shapes, pulp resembling eggplant, pungent in taste. Consuming it can substitute for ginger, or it can be soaked and taken orally, or used to brew wine. It effectively dispels wind-cold causing zhenpi (abdominal masses). It is found everywhere, currently produced in Anzhou and Shenzhou. Current research based on Chen Cangqi's *Bencao* indicates: Mutiandiao currently used originates from Fengzhou. The tree is as tall as Ilex aquifolium (Holly), evergreen. Found in deep mountains. People say excessive consumption damages "Liao" (Polygonum), but does this imply a vine form? There naturally exists a vine-type Polygonum. (The original *Tang Bencao* records it as slightly hot, non-toxic. It treats zeifeng (sudden wind pathogen), facial paralysis, cold pi masses, and female xu lao (deficiency exhaustion).)
The *Tujing* states: Mutiandiao, pungent, warm, slightly toxic. Treats abdominal masses and accumulations, wind-cold deficiency cold. Grows in mountain valleys. Trees are two to three zhang high. Flowers bloom in March and April, resembling Zhe flowers. Seeds are harvested in May; seeds are spherical like Tonghao fruit, which can be stored and eaten as fruit. Also treats various cold qi. Su Gong states that the vine-growing type is Tentianliao. There is also a small Tianliao growing in Tianmu Mountain and Siming Mountain, trees resembling Gardenia jasminoides, evergreen. Thus, there are three types of Tianliao; although their appearances differ, their therapeutic effects are very similar.
*Shenghui Fang*: Treats wind diseases with immediate miraculous effect. Use one jin of Mutiandiao, remove skin, finely chop, place in a raw silk bag, soak in two dou of good wine. Soak for seven days and nights in spring/summer, fourteen days and nights in autumn/winter before opening. Drink one cup warm each time on an empty stomach, at noon, and early night. Adjust dosage for elderly and children as needed. For long-term use, drink only one cup every morning.
Huanhuan (Radix Aristolochiae / Root of Aristolochia)
Bitter in flavor, neutral in nature, toxic. Primarily treats guduo (gu poison), guizhu (chronic wasting disease attributed to spirits), guimei (disease attributed to evil spirits), and evil qi within the zang-fu organs; eliminates ke ni han re (cough, counterflow, chills, and fever). Also known as Lingquan, also known as Da Jiu. Grows in the mountain valleys of Shujun. Roots are harvested in March and dried in the shade. (Iris tectorum acts as its assistant herb; adverse reaction with Poria cocos and Stephania tetrandra.)
Tao Hongjing states: Resembles Stephania tetrandra, also shaped like chariot spokes. The *Shudu Fu* says: "Green pearls and yellow rings," some claim this is the flower of Euphorbia lathyris, which is definitely incorrect. It is rarely used, and few people in the market recognize it.
The *Tang Bencao* annotation states: This substance is called "Jiu Ge" by people in Xiangyang and Baxi. It grows as a vine, roots are similar to Pueraria lobata (Kudzu), produced in... When people gather Kudzu roots, mistakenly consuming this causes continuous vomiting and diarrhea, cured by using clay slurry as an antidote; this is the true Huanhuan. Rare elsewhere, abundant only in Xiangyang. The *Ben Jing* uses the root. Claiming it is the Euphorbia flower now is incorrect. Its fruits grow in pods, resembling Sophora japonica (Chinese Scholar Tree). Flowers and fruits appear simultaneously with Kudzu. Now cultivated in courtyards, large stems have a diameter of six to seven cun, found everywhere. Its fruit is called Yelangba Zi. Currently, the specimens sent to the Taichang Bureau from Jiannan are Radix Millettiae speciosae (Chicken shit Kudzu root), which is incorrect. Ministers Yu Xi et al. carefully note according to *Yaoxing Lun*: Huanhuan, assistant herb, adverse reaction with Dried Ginger, greatly cold, slightly toxic.
