蓬莪术（Curcuma zedoaria）
味苦、辛，性温，无毒。主治心腹疼痛，中恶疰忤鬼气（指突发的严重不适或邪祟引起的病症），霍乱冷气，呕吐酸水，解毒，饮酒研磨后服用。又治疗妇人血气病，男子奔豚（一种自觉有气从少腹上冲胸咽的病症）。产于西戎及广南各州。
果实像干桑葚，叶子像荷花，莪术生长在根部下方并生在一起。有一好一坏之分，坏的有毒。西戎人采集它时，先放羊去吃，羊不吃的就丢弃。（今附）臣禹锡等人谨按陈藏器说：一名蓬莪，颜色黑色；二名[缺字]，颜色黄色；三名波杀，味甘，有大毒。《药性论》说：蓬莪术也可以单用。能治疗女子血气心痛，破除癖块冷气，用酒、醋磨服，有效。日华子说：得酒、醋更好。治疗一切气滞，开胃消食，通月经，消瘀血，止跌打损伤痛和下血，以及内损恶血等。这就是南方产的姜黄根。
《图经》说：蓬莪术产于西戎及广南各州，现在江浙也有生长。三月生苗，在田野中。茎如铜钱大，高二、三尺。叶青白色，长一、二尺，宽五寸左右，很像荷花。五月开花成穗状，黄色，顶端微紫。根像生姜，而莪术在根下，像鸡鸭蛋，大小不定。九月采收，削去粗皮，蒸熟晒干使用。此物极坚硬难捣碎，用时，在热灰火中煨透，趁热放入臼中，捣之即碎如粉。古方未见使用。现在医生雷公说：凡使用，在砂盆中用醋磨尽，然后在火旁吸干重筛过使用。《十全博救方》治疗小儿气疝止痛。蓬莪术炮制，候热捣为末，用一大钱，热酒调下。孙用和正元散治疗气不接续，续气短，兼治相服之有验。蓬莪术一两，金铃子去核一两，右件为末，更入硼砂一下，空心服。
Curcuma zedoaria (Zedoary)
Bitter, pungent, warm, non-toxic. Primarily treats heart and abdominal pain, sudden severe discomfort or evil qi (sudden severe discomfort or evil qi), cold qi of cholera, vomiting of sour fluid, detoxification; taken with wine after grinding. Also treats blood and qi disorders in women, and ben tun (ben tun, a condition characterized by the sensation of gas rising from the lower abdomen to the chest and throat) in men. Grows in Xirong and various prefectures of Guangnan.
The fruit resembles dried mulberries, the leaves resemble lotus leaves, and the rhizome grows beneath the root system together. There are good and bad varieties; the bad ones are toxic. People in Xirong collect it by first letting sheep eat it; if the sheep refuse to eat it, they discard it. (Added now) Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite Chen Cangqi: One name is Peng'e, black in color; another name is [missing character], yellow in color; a third name is Bosha, sweet in taste, highly toxic. *Yaoxing Lun* states: Zedoary can also be used alone. It can treat blood and qi heartache in women, break up mass and cold qi, and is effective when ground with wine and vinegar for administration. Ri Huazi states: It works well with wine and vinegar. It treats all types of qi stagnation, opens the stomach, aids digestion, regulates menstruation, resolves blood stasis, stops pain and bleeding from trauma, and internal injury with bad blood. This is the rhizome of turmeric found in the south.
*Tujing* states: Zedoary grows in Xirong and various prefectures of Guangnan; it is now also found in Jiangzhe. Seedlings emerge in March in fields. The stem is as thick as a copper coin, two to three chi high. The leaves are greenish-white, one to two chi long, about five cun wide, resembling lotus leaves. In May, flowers appear in spikes, yellow with slightly purple tips. The root resembles ginger, but the rhizome is beneath the root, like a chicken or duck egg, varying in size. Harvested in September, the coarse skin is peeled off, steamed until cooked, then sun-dried for use. This substance is extremely hard and difficult to crush; when preparing for use, bake it thoroughly in hot ashes, then while still hot, place it in a mortar and pound it until it breaks into powder. It is not seen in ancient prescriptions. Current physicians state: Lei Gong says: For preparation, grind it completely with vinegar in a sand bowl, then dry it near fire, sift repeatedly before use. *Shiquan Bojiu Fang* treats pediatric qi hernia and pain. Pao-processed Zedoary, pounded into powder while hot, one da qian taken with hot wine. Sun Yonghe's Zhengyuan San treats interrupted qi flow and shortness of breath, also verified for combined use. Zedoary one liang, Jinlingzi (fruit of *Chimonobambusa utilis*) pitted one liang, both ground into powder, add borax, taken on an empty stomach.
