【本】
味辛、苦,性温、微温或微寒,无毒。主治妇女疝瘕(腹内结块),阴部寒冷肿痛,腹部拘急疼痛,祛除风邪引起的头痛,促进肌肤生长,使面色悦泽,抵御雾露湿气润泽,治疗风邪侵袭导致的肢体牵引不适,金创(金属利器造成的创伤),也可作为洗浴用药或面部脂膏。
果实:主治四肢风痹流注。又名鬼卿,又名地新,又名微茎。生长在崇山山谷中。正月、二月采集根部,晒干。
陶隐居说:民间通常使用芎䓖(Xiongqiong, 川芎)的根须,其形态气味与本品相似。但《桐君药录》记载芎䓖的苗像本,论述花朵和果实都不同,生长地方也各异。现在东山另有本,形态气味非常相似,只是体积较大罢了。《唐本草》注解说:本,茎、叶、根的味道与芎䓖略有不同。因为其根上长苗的样子像禾苗的根,所以名叫本。现在出产于宕州的品质最佳。臣禹锡等谨按《药性论》记载:本,性微温。畏青葙子。能治疗一百六十种恶风、鬼疰(一种传染性疾病)、流入腰痛冷症,能化小便,通血脉,去头风。日华子说:治疗癫痫及皮肤瑕疵、酒渣鼻、粉刺。
《图经》说:本,生长在崇山山谷中,现在西川、河东州郡以及兖州、杭州都有。叶子像白芷一样香,又有点像芎䓖。但芎䓖像水芹而大,本的叶子较细。根上长苗像禾苗,所以以此命名。五月开白花,七、八月结子,根呈紫色。正月、二月采根,晒干,三十天制成。
【石苇】
味苦、甘,性平,无毒。主治劳热邪气,五种癃闭不通(排尿困难),通利小便水道,止烦渴降逆气,通膀胱胀满,补五劳,安五脏,祛恶风,益精气。又名石(音夜切),又名石皮。使用时需去掉黄色绒毛,绒毛射入人肺,会导致咳嗽无法治愈。生长在华山山谷的石头上,以听不到水声和人声的地方生长的为良。二月采集叶子,阴干。滑石(臣禹锡等谨按蜀本作络石)、杏仁为其使药,得到菖蒲效果良好。
陶隐居说:蔓延生长在石头上,生叶如皮革,所以名叫石苇。现在到处都有。以听不到水声、人声的为佳。出产在建平的,叶子长大且浓密。《唐本草》注解说:此物丛生石旁阴凉处,不蔓延生长。生长在古瓦屋上的,名叫瓦苇。用来治疗淋证也很好。臣禹锡等谨按《药性论》记载:石苇,使药,性微寒。治疗劳损及五种淋证,胞囊结热不通,去除膀胱热满。日华子说:治疗淋沥不尽,遗尿。入药需微炙。
《图经》说:石苇,生长在华山山谷石头上,现在晋、绛、滁、海、福州,江宁府都有。丛生在石头上,叶子像柳叶,背面有毛且斑点如皮革,所以以此命名。以听不到水声的为良。二月、七月采集叶子,阴干使用。南方中医人炒成末,用冷酒调服,治疗发背疽非常有效。石苇又名石皮,而福州自有一种石皮,三月开花。当月采集叶子煎煮成汤浴,主治风病。又有生长在古瓦屋上的,名叫瓦韦,用来治疗淋证也很好。
[Ben (Ligusticum sinense)]
Pungent, bitter, warm, slightly warm, or slightly cold; non-toxic. Primarily treats gynecological hernia masses (abdominal lumps), cold and painful swelling in the genital region, abdominal urgency and pain, dispels wind-induced headaches, promotes skin growth, enhances complexion, wards off dampness from fog and dew, treats limb traction discomfort caused by wind pathogens, metallic wounds, and can be used as a bath medicine or facial cosmetic paste.
Fruits: Primarily treat wind-bi stagnation in the four limbs. Also known as Guiqing, Dixing, Weijing. Grows in valleys of Chong Mountain. Roots are harvested in the first and second lunar months and sun-dried.
Tao Hongjing states: In common practice, the rootlets of Xiongxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome) are used, which resemble this herb in form and aroma. However, *Tongjun Yaolu* records that the seedling of Xiongxiong resembles Ben, but the flowers and fruits are entirely different, and the growing locations vary. Currently, there is another variety of Ben in Dongshan, very similar in form and aroma, only larger in size. The *Tang Bencao* annotation notes: Ben, in terms of stem, leaves, and roots, tastes slightly different from Xiongxiong. Because the seedlings growing on the roots resemble those of grain crops, it is named Ben. The variety produced in Dangzhou is considered the best. Ministers Yuxi et al. respectfully cite *Yaoxing Lun*: Ben is slightly warm. It fears Qingxiangzi (*Celosia argentea*). It can treat one hundred and sixty types of malignant winds, Guizhu (a contagious disease), cold pain flowing into the lower back, promotes urination, unblocks blood vessels, and removes head wind. Rihua Zi states: Treats epilepsy and skin blemishes, rhinophyma, and acne.
*Tujing* states: Ben grows in valleys of Chong Mountain. It is now found in Western Sichuan, Hedong prefectures, as well as Yanzhou and Hangzhou. The leaves are fragrant like Bai Zhi (*Angelica dahurica*) and somewhat like Xiongxiong. However, Xiongxiong resembles water celery and is larger, while Ben's leaves are finer. The seedlings on the roots resemble grain crops, hence the name. White flowers appear in the fifth month, seeds form in the seventh and eighth months, and the roots are purple. Roots are harvested in the first and second lunar months, sun-dried, and processed over thirty days.
[Shiwei (Pyrrosia leaf)]
Bitter, sweet, neutral; non-toxic. Primarily treats heat from exhaustion and pathogenic factors, five types of strangury with obstruction, promotes urinary flow, relieves thirst and directs rebellious Qi downward, unblocks bladder fullness, tonifies the five exhaustions, calms the five zang organs, expels evil wind, and benefits essence and qi. Also known as Shi Ye (pronounced 'ye'), Shipi. When used, yellow hairs must be removed; if these hairs penetrate the lungs, they cause incurable coughing. Grows on rocks in valleys of Huayin Mountain; those grown where no water sounds or human voices are heard are superior. Leaves are harvested in the second lunar month and dried in the shade. Talcum (*Huashi*, noted in Shu edition as Luoshi) and Apricot Kernels (*Xingren*) act as guiding herbs; combined with Acorus (*Changpu*), the effect is excellent.
Tao Hongjing states: It spreads over rocks, growing leaves like leather, hence the name Shiwei. It is found everywhere. Those grown without hearing water or human sounds are best. The variety from Jianping has large, thick leaves. The *Tang Bencao* annotation notes: This herb grows in clusters near rocks in shady places, not spreading. Those growing on old tiled roofs are called Weiwei. They are also good for treating strangury. Ministers Yuxi et al. respectfully cite *Yaoxing Lun*: Shiwei, as a guiding herb, is slightly cold. It treats exhaustion and five types of strangury, resolves heat accumulation in the bladder sac causing obstruction, and clears bladder heat and fullness. Rihua Zi states: Treats dribbling urine and enuresis. For medicinal use, it should be lightly roasted.
*Tujing* states: Shiwei grows on rocks in valleys of Huayin Mountain. It is now found in Jin, Jiang, Chu, Hai, Fuzhou, and Jiangning Prefecture. It grows in clusters on rocks, leaves resembling willow, with hairy backs spotted like leather, hence the name. Those grown without hearing water sounds are superior. Leaves are harvested in the second and seventh lunar months and dried in the shade. Southern Chinese physicians roast it into powder, mix with cold wine, and take it to treat carbuncles on the back with great efficacy. Shiwei is also called Shipi, but Fuzhou has a distinct variety called Shipi that flowers in the third month. Leaves harvested that month are decocted for bathing baths to treat wind diseases. There is also a variety growing on old tiled roofs called Wa Wei, which is also excellent for treating strangury.
