\r野狼毒\pd255.bmp\r
味辛，平，有大毒。主咳逆上气，破积聚饮食，寒热水气，胁下积癖，恶疮鼠 疽蚀
，鬼精蛊毒，杀飞鸟走兽。一名续毒。生秦亭山谷及奉高。二月、八月采根，阴干。陈而沉
水者良。（大豆为之使，恶麦名姜。）
陶隐居云∶秦亭在陇西，亦出宕昌。乃言只有数亩地生，蝮蛇食其根，故为难得。亦用
泰山
者，今用出汉中及建平。云与防葵同根类，但置水中沉者便是野狼毒，浮者则是防葵。俗用稀
亦难得，是疗腹内要药尔。唐本注云∶此物与防葵都不同类，生处又别。野狼毒今出秦州、成
州
，秦亭故在二州之界，其泰山、汉中亦不闻有。且秦陇寒地，原无复蛇。复云数亩地生，蝮
蛇食其根，谬矣。今按别本注云∶与麻黄、橘皮、吴茱萸、半夏、枳实为六陈也。又按野狼毒
，叶似商陆及大黄，茎、叶上有毛，根皮黄，肉白。以实重者为良，轻者力劣。秦亭在陇西
，奉高乃泰山下县。亦出宕昌及汉中，建平。旧经陶云∶与防葵同根，以置水中，浮者即是
防葵，沉者即是野狼毒，此不足为信。假使防葵秋冬采者坚实，得水皆沉。野狼毒春夏采者轻虚
，得水乃浮尔。按此与防葵全别，生处不同，故不可将为比类。臣禹锡等谨按蜀本图经云
∶
根似玄参，浮虚者为劣也。药性论云∶野狼毒，使，味苦、辛，有毒。治痰饮症瘕，亦杀鼠。
图经曰∶野狼毒，生秦亭山谷及奉高，今陕西州郡及辽、石州亦有之。苗叶似商陆及大黄，
茎
叶上有毛，四月开花，八月结实，根皮黄，肉白。二月、八月采，阴干。以陈而沉水者良。
葛洪治心腹相连常胀痛者。用野狼毒二两，附子半两，捣筛蜜丸如桐子大。一日服一丸，二日
二丸，三日三丸，再一丸，至六日又三丸，自一至三常服即瘥。《千金》疗恶疾。以野狼毒、

圣惠方∶治干癣，积年生痂，搔之黄水出，每逢阴雨即痒。用野狼毒末涂之。集效方∶治
脏腑
内一
切虫病。川野狼毒杵末，每服一大钱，用饧一皂子大，沙糖少许，以水同化，临卧空腹服之。
服时先吃微紧，食药一服，来日早取下虫，效。
味辛，性平，有大毒。主治咳嗽气逆上冲，破除饮食积聚、寒热及水气病证、胁下积块癖疾，治疗恶疮、鼠疽蚀烂，以及鬼精蛊毒，能杀死飞鸟和走兽。又名续毒。产于秦亭山谷及奉高地区。二月和八月采集根部，阴干。陈久且放入水中下沉的质地优良。（大豆作为其引经药，畏麦名姜。）
陶隐居说：秦亭位于陇西，宕昌也有出产。据说只有几亩地生长，蝮蛇吃它的根，所以很难得。也使用泰山产的，现在使用的是汉中及建平出产的。传说它与防葵同根同类，但放入水中下沉的就是野狼毒，上浮的是防葵。民间很少使用，也是治疗腹内疾病的重要药物。《唐本草》注解说：此物与防葵完全不同类，生长地方也不同。野狼毒现在产于秦州、成州，秦亭原本就在两州的交界处，泰山的、汉中的也没听说过有。况且秦陇是寒冷之地，本来就没有蛇。又说只有几亩地生长，蝮蛇吃它的根，这是荒谬的。现在参考其他版本的注解：它与麻黄、橘皮、吴茱萸、半夏、枳实并称为“六陈”。又据观察野狼毒，叶子像商陆和大黄，茎和叶上有毛，根皮黄色，肉质白色。以坚实沉重者为佳，轻浮者药效较差。秦亭在陇西，奉高是泰山下的县。也产于宕昌及汉中、建平。旧经陶隐居说：与防葵同根，放入水中，上浮的是防葵，下沉的是野狼毒，这不足以相信。假如防葵在秋冬采摘则坚实，入水都沉；野狼毒在春夏采摘则轻虚，入水反而浮。据此看它与防葵完全区别开，生长地方不同，所以不可将其归为同类。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》说：根像玄参，浮虚的为劣等。《药性论》说：野狼毒，作使药，味苦、辛，有毒。治疗痰饮症瘕，也能杀鼠。《图经》说：野狼毒，生于秦亭山谷及奉高，现在陕西各州郡及辽州、石州也有。苗叶像商陆和大黄，茎叶上有毛，四月开花，八月结果，根皮黄色，肉质白色。二月、八月采集，阴干。陈久且入水下沉的优良。葛洪治疗心腹相连经常胀痛的人。用野狼毒二两，附子半两，捣碎过筛，蜜丸如梧桐子大。第一天服一丸，第二天二丸，第三天三丸，第四天再服一丸，到第六天又服三丸，从一到三常服即痊愈。《千金方》治疗恶疾。用野狼毒、秦艽分量相等，捣成末，酒送服一方寸匕，每日两次，常服可愈。
《圣惠方》：治疗干癣，多年生痂，搔抓后流出黄水，每逢阴雨天气就瘙痒。用野狼毒粉末涂抹患处。《集效方》：治疗脏腑内一切虫病。川野狼毒捣成末，每次服用一大钱，用饴糖一块皂子大小，少许砂糖，用水一同化开，临睡前空腹服用。服药前先喝一点紧致的（浓稠）液体，食药一次，第二天早晨排出虫子，有效。
Wild Langdu (Radix Euphorbiae Fissilae)
Pungent in flavor, neutral in nature, highly toxic. It primarily treats cough with rebellious qi rising upward, breaks up food accumulation, cold-heat and water-dampness pathologies, hypochondriac masses and fixed accumulations, malignant sores, rat chancres and ulceration, ghost essence and gu poison, and kills flying birds and running beasts. Also known as Xudu (Continuing Poison). Grows in the valleys of Qinting and Fenggao. The roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the shade. Those that are aged and sink in water are considered superior. (Soybean [Glycine max] serves as its guiding herb; it is incompatible with Maemingjiang.)
Tao Hongjing stated: Qinting is located in Longxi, and also appears in Dangchang. It is said to grow only on a few acres of land, where pit vipers eat its roots, making it rare. Some use those from Mount Tai; currently, those from Hanzhong and Jianping are used. It is claimed to share the same root and category as Fangkui (Astragali Comosus Radix), but when placed in water, the one that sinks is Wild Langdu, while the one that floats is Fangkui. Rarely used by the common people, it is an important medicine for treating abdominal diseases. The *Tang Bencao* annotation notes: This substance is completely different in category from Fangkui and grows in different places. Wild Langdu is now produced in Qinzhou and Chengzhou. Qinting was originally on the border of these two prefectures; none are heard of from Mount Tai or Hanzhong. Moreover, Qin and Long are cold regions where snakes do not exist. The claim that it grows on a few acres and is eaten by pit vipers is absurd. According to other annotations: It is grouped with Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi, 陈皮), Evodiae Fructus (Wuzhuyu, 吴茱萸), Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, 半夏), and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (Zhishi, 枳实) as the "Six Aged Substances." Furthermore, Wild Langdu has leaves resembling Phytolaccae Radix (Shanglu, 商陆) and Rheum Palmati Radix (Dahuang, 大黄); the stems and leaves have hairs, the root bark is yellow, and the flesh is white. Solid and heavy ones are superior; light and hollow ones have inferior efficacy. Qinting is in Longxi, and Fenggao is a county below Mount Tai. It also appears in Dangchang, Hanzhong, and Jianping. Old texts by Tao state it shares a root with Fangkui, distinguishing them by floating or sinking in water; this is unreliable. If Fangkui is harvested in autumn and winter, it is solid and sinks in water; if Wild Langdu is harvested in spring and summer, it is light and hollow and floats in water. Thus, they are entirely distinct in category and habitat, and should not be classified together. Minister Yuxi et al., according to the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, note: The root resembles Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen, 玄参); those that are floaty and hollow are inferior. *Yaoxing Lun* states: Wild Langdu acts as an assistant drug, bitter and pungent in flavor, toxic. It treats phlegm-fluids and mass accumulations and can kill rats. *Tu Jing* states: Wild Langdu grows in the valleys of Qinting and Fenggao; it is now found in various prefectures of Shaanxi, as well as Liao Prefecture and Shizhou. The seedlings and leaves resemble Shanglu and Dahuang; stems and leaves have hairs; flowers bloom in April, fruits mature in August; root bark is yellow, flesh is white. Harvested in February and August, dried in the shade. Aged ones that sink in water are superior. Ge Hong treated cases of constant distending pain connecting the heart and abdomen using two liang of Wild Langdu and half a liang of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 附子), pounded, sifted, and formed into honey pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take one pill on the first day, two on the second, three on the third, one more on the fourth, and three again on the sixth; continuous administration from one to three days leads to recovery. *Qianjin Fang* treats malignant diseases using equal parts of Wild Langdu and Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix (Qinjiao, 秦艽), pounded into powder, taken with wine in a measure of one cun bi, twice daily; continuous administration leads to recovery.
The *Shenghui Fang*: Treats dry tinea with chronic crusts that exude yellow fluid when scratched and itch during rainy weather. Apply Wild Langdu powder topically. The *Jixiao Fang*: Treats all kinds of intestinal parasites within the zang-fu organs. Pound Sichuan Wild Langdu into powder. Take one da qian per dose, dissolved with a piece of maltose the size of a soap bean and a little rock sugar in water. Take on an empty stomach before sleep. Drink a small amount of thick liquid before taking the medicine; worms will be discharged the next morning, which is effective.
