味甘、咸，性平，无毒。主治破血（破除瘀血）。产后因瘀血阻滞导致腹部胀满闷痛、甚至濒死感的症状，用水煎煮，或用苦酒（醋）煎煮五两药材，取浓汁服用有效。
《唐本草》注解说：这是当地人用作染色的材料。产自南海、昆仑等地运来，交州、爱州也有出产。树形像庵罗树（即波罗蜜），叶子像榆树叶但没有涩味，枝条长达一丈左右，花黄色，果实初生时青色，成熟后变黑。现在参考陈藏器《本草》的说法：苏方木，性寒。主治霍乱引起的呕吐逆气，以及经常呕吐的人，用水煎服。破除瘀血最好用酒煎煮。（此条原附于《唐本草》之前）
臣禹锡等人谨按《日华子诸家本草》说：治疗妇人血气引起的心腹疼痛，月经不调及产后劳损，排除脓液并止痛，消除痈肿，跌打损伤导致的瘀血，妇女失音及血噤（因血瘀导致的突然昏厥或痉挛），赤白痢疾以及肛门急痛。
雷公说：凡使用苏方木，需去掉上部的粗皮和节结。如果中心纹理横向如紫色角状者，称为“木中尊色”，其药效比平常强百倍。必须细切后重重捣碎，拌入细条梅枝蒸制，从巳时到申时取出，阴干后使用。《肘后方》：治疗血运（因血瘀导致的晕厥）。苏方木三两细切，水五升，煮取二升，分两次服用，病愈。如果没有苏方木，取红色衣服煮汁服用也可以。《海药本草》云：谨按徐表《南海记》，虚劳血癖气壅滞，产后恶露不安突然发作，冲心腹中搅痛，以及经络不通，男女中风，口噤不能言语。适宜此法，细研乳头香，制成方寸匕大小的细末，用酒煎煮苏方木，去渣，调匀服用，立即吐出恶物而病愈。
榉树皮：性大寒。主治时行感冒引起的头痛，热邪结聚在肠胃。
陶隐居说：山中到处都有。树皮像檀木、槐树，叶子像栎树、槲树。人们大多认识。使用时削取内层树皮，去掉上部甲壳状的表皮，煎煮。
《唐本草》注解说：这种树各地都有，多生长在溪涧水边。叶子像樗树但狭长。大树直径可合抱，高数仞，树皮极厚且粗糙。完全不像檀木。俗人取其煮汁，用来治疗水肿及止泻痢，取嫩叶揉烂敷贴火烫伤处，有效。臣禹锡等人谨按《日华子诸家本草》说：榉树皮，味苦，无毒。下行水气，止热痢，安胎，主治孕妇腹痛。
又记载：乡人采集叶子做甜茶饮用。
雷公说：凡使用，不要用三、四年的，因为效力不足；也不用二十年以上的，因为树心已空。只有半边生长、向西生长的树才是可用的。用斧头剥去上部粗皮，细切后蒸制，从巳时到未时取出，焙干后使用。榉牛（一种昆虫或相关部位，此处指代特定药用部分或加工品，原文语境似指处理后的树皮或特定形态），凡采得，用铜刀剖成两片，去掉两边的翅状物，用纸袋装好，挂在房屋东面，待干燥后使用。《肘后方》：治疗毒气攻注导致的手足肿痛。用树皮和槲皮合煮成如饴糖般的浓汁，再用桦皮浓煮汁绞取，饮服。
《衍义》说：榉木皮，今人称为榉柳。然而叶子说是柳非柳，说是槐非槐。最大的树，高五六十尺，非常粗壮，但也属于下等木材，不堪作为器具使用。嫩皮，用来包缘栲栳与箕唇（竹编容器的边缘）。
Sweet and salty in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Primarily indicated for breaking blood stasis (removing blood stasis). For postpartum abdominal distension and stifling sensation approaching death due to blood stasis, decocting five liang of the drug in water or in sour wine (vinegar) and taking the concentrated juice is effective.
The *Tang Bencao* commentary states: This is used by locals as a dye. It arrives from the South Sea and Kunlun regions, and is also found in Jiaozhou and Aizhou. The tree resembles the *Artocarpus hirsutus* (breadfruit), its leaves resemble elm leaves but lack astringency, its branches grow up to ten feet long, flowers are yellow, and fruits are green when young and black when ripe. Currently, according to Chen Cangqi's *Bencao*: Su Fang Mu is cold in nature. It primarily treats cholera with vomiting and regurgitation, as well as chronic vomiting; decocting it in water and taking it orally is effective. To break blood stasis, decocting it in wine is superior. (Originally attached before the *Tang Bencao*).
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite *Ri Hua Zi Zhu Jia Ben Cao*: It treats heart and abdominal pain caused by blood and qi disorders in women, irregular menstruation, and postpartum exhaustion; it expels pus and relieves pain, reduces carbuncles and swelling, resolves blood stasis from traumatic injuries, treats aphonia and blood jing (sudden syncope or spasm due to blood stasis) in women, red and white dysentery, and acute pain in the anal region.
Lei Gong states: When using it, remove the rough outer bark and knots. If the center grain is transverse like a purple horn, it is called "Mu Zhong Zun Se" (the noblest color among woods), and its efficacy is a hundred times greater than usual. It must be finely chopped, heavily pounded, mixed with fine plum twigs, steamed from Si hour to Shen hour, then dried in the shade for use. *Zhou Hou Fang*: Treats blood yun (syncope due to blood stasis). Three liang of Su Fang Mu, finely chopped, with five sheng of water, decocted to obtain two sheng, divided into two doses. Cure achieved. If Su Fang Mu is unavailable, decocting crimson cloth and taking the juice is also acceptable. *Hai Yao Bencao* states: Respectfully citing Xu Biao's *Nan Hai Ji*, for deficiency consumption, blood bi, qi stagnation, sudden onset of postpartum lochia retention causing central abdominal twisting pain, meridian blockage, wind-stroke in men and women with locked jaw and inability to speak. This method is suitable: finely grind Ru Tou Xiang, make into a measure of one square inch powder, decoct Su Fang Mu in wine, strain, mix and take orally. Evil substances will be vomited out immediately, and the disease will cure.
Ju Pi (Bark of Zelkova): Greatly cold in nature. Primarily treats headache from epidemic pathogens and heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines.
Tao Hongjing states: It grows everywhere in the mountains. The bark resembles sandalwood and locust tree, leaves resemble oak and chestnut oak. People generally recognize it. When used, scrape off the inner bark, remove the upper crusty layer, and decoct.
The *Tang Bencao* commentary states: This tree is present everywhere, mostly growing beside streams and ravines. Leaves resemble *Ailanthus altissima* but are narrower and longer. Large trees can be embraced by two arms, several ren high, with extremely thick and coarse bark. It does not resemble sandalwood at all. Laypeople boil its juice to treat edema and stop dysentery; applying mashed tender leaves to burns is effective. Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite *Ri Hua Zi Zhu Jia Ben Cao*: Ju Pi tastes bitter and is non-toxic. It directs water qi downward, stops heat dysentery, calms the fetus, and treats abdominal pain in pregnant women.
Furthermore: Locals harvest leaves to make sweet tea.
Lei Gong states: When using it, do not use three- to four-year-old trees as they lack potency; do not use twenty-year-old trees as their hearts are hollow. Only those growing on one side, facing west, are usable. Use an axe to peel off the rough outer bark, finely chop, steam from Si hour to Wei hour, remove, and bake dry for use. Ju Niu (a specific preparation/part): Upon harvesting, split into two pieces with a copper knife, remove the wings, store in a paper bag, hang eastward in the house, and use after drying. *Zhou Hou Fang*: Treats toxic qi attacking hands and feet causing swelling and pain. Decoct bark together with Qu Pi until it becomes syrup-like, squeeze out the concentrated juice of boiled birch bark, and drink.
*Yan Yi* states: Ju Mu Pi is now called Ju Liu by people. However, the leaves are neither willow nor locust. The largest trees reach fifty to sixty chi in height, very thick, but they are inferior timber, unsuitable for making vessels. Tender bark is taken to edge baskets and winnowing trays.
