阴阳痿不起，补不足，疗男子茎头寒，阴下湿痒，去臭汗，消水肿。久服不饥，令人有子。
一名白石，一名石生，一名羊起石，云母根也。生齐山山谷及琅邪或云山、阳起山。采无时

阳起石
味咸，性微温，无毒。主治妇女崩中漏下（非经期大量出血或淋漓不尽），破除子宫内的瘀血，治疗症瘕结气（腹部肿块及气机郁结）、寒热往来、腹痛、不孕症，以及阳痿不起。能补益不足之虚损，治疗男子阴茎头部寒冷、阴部潮湿瘙痒，去除臭汗，消除水肿。长期服用可使人不觉饥饿，并有助于生育。
又名白石，又名石生，又名羊起石，被认为是云母的根部。产于齐山山谷以及琅邪、云山、阳起山等地。采集没有固定时间。（桑螵蛸作为其引经药/辅助药，忌与泽泻、菌桂、雷丸、蛇蜕皮同用，畏惧菟丝子。）
陶隐居说：此药产地与云母相同，外形也很像云母，只是质地更浓密坚实罢了。现在使用的阳起石出自益州，常与矾石混在一起，颜色偏小黄黑，其实就是矾石。至于“云母根”究竟指什么，难以确定。民间使用较少。《仙经》中也记载服用它。唐本注说：这种石头以白色、肌理类似殷孽（一种矿物），且夹杂带有云母般绿润光泽的为优良品种，所以《神农本草经》称它为白石。现在有用纯黑色如炭的，那是错误的。在云母条目中既已说明黑色的叫云胆，又名地涿，服用会损害人体，那么黑色的阳起石必定也是有害的。《神农本草经》说生于齐山，齐山位于齐州历城西北五、六里处，但采访调查时并未发现阳起石，实际上阳起石是产自齐山西北六、七里的卢山。《神农本草经》中说“或云山”，这里的“云”字可能是“卢”字的讹误。现在泰山、沂州只有黑色的，白色的唯独出产于齐州。臣禹锡等人谨按吴氏的说法：阳起石，神农、扁鹊认为味酸，无毒；桐君、雷公、歧伯认为味咸，无毒；季氏认为性小寒。有的产于泰山。杨损之说：不入汤剂煎煮。《药性论》说：阳起石，恶石葵，忌食羊血。味甘，性平。主治补肾气，治疗精液匮乏引起的腰痛，膝部冷湿痹痛，能温暖女子因久冷导致的子宫寒冷，治疗冷症寒瘕，止住月经不调。萧炳说：阳起石，列为臣药。《南海药谱》说：阳起石唯有泰山出产的黄色者最佳，邢州鹊山出产的白色者也不错。日华子说：治疗带下病，温疫，冷气，补益五劳七伤。配药时需烧红后用水淬炼使用，凝结成白色者为上品。
《图经》说：阳起石，产于齐山山谷以及琅邪、云山、阳起山。现在只出产于齐州，其他地方不再产，有人说邢州鹊山也有，但品质不太好。现在齐州城西只有一座土山，石头出在其中，当地人称之为阳起山，这座山常有温暖的气息，即使在严冬大雪覆盖全境时，唯独这座山没有积雪，大概是石头的气场熏蒸所致。山上只有一个矿穴，官府经常禁止关闭。到了初冬，州府就征发民夫，派人监视开采。岁月积累，矿穴越来越深，刚凿开其他石头才能找到它，非常艰难。以颜色白、肌理晶莹明亮如同野狼牙的为上品。也有夹杂其他石头结成块的，不堪使用。每年采摘挑选上供朝廷，其余的在州中出售，否则市井商人无法获得货源。虽然贩卖的人多，但精良好的也难以得到。旧说是云母的根，其中还夹杂着云母，现在再也看不到这种色泽了。古代服食方中不见使用，现在补下药中多使用它。采集没有固定时间。
《丹房镜源》说：阳起石，可用于制作外匮（炼丹器具）。青霞子说：阳起，治疗肾脏的疾病。
《衍义》说：阳起石，像野狼牙形状的是佳品。其外表颜色不白，像姜石一样。大块者，内部也是白的。治疗男子、妇人下……（原文未完）
Yangqishi (Styppite)
Salty in flavor, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats metrorrhagia and leukorrhea (abnormal uterine bleeding or continuous spotting), breaks up blood stasis in the uterus, resolves masses and qi stagnation (abdominal lumps and qi constraint), alleviates alternating chills and fever, abdominal pain, and infertility. It also addresses impotence and failure of erection, tonifies deficiencies, treats coldness at the glans penis, damp-itching in the genital area, removes foul sweat, and reduces edema. Long-term consumption prevents hunger and promotes fertility.
Also known as Baishi (White Stone), Shisheng (Stone Born), and Yangqishi (Sheep-Rising Stone); it is considered the root of Yunmu (Mica). It grows in the valleys of Qi Mountain, as well as Langya, Yunshan, and Yangqi Mountain. There is no specific season for harvesting. (Sangpiaoxiao (Mantis Egg-case) serves as its guiding herb; it is incompatible with Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Jungui (Cinnamon Bark), Leiwan (Polyporus Umbellatus), and Shed Snake Skin; it fears Tusizi (Dodder Seed).)
Tao Hongjing stated: The origin of this mineral is the same as that of Mica, and it resembles Mica closely, but is denser and more solid. The Yangqishi currently used comes from Yizhou, often found mixed with Fanshi (Alum Stone), having a yellowish-black color, which is essentially Alum Stone. It is uncertain what exactly constitutes the "root of Mica." It is rarely used by the common people. However, it is recorded in the *Xian Jing* (Immortal Classic) for consumption. The *Tang Ben Cao Zhu* (Commentary on Tang Materia Medica) notes: This stone should be white, with a texture resembling Yin Nie (a type of mineral), and ideally intermixed with a greenish luster like Mica for superior quality. Hence, the *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) calls it Baishi (White Stone). Currently, some use pure black stones resembling charcoal, which is erroneous. In the Mica entry, it is stated that black ones are named Yundan (Cloud Gallbladder) or Dizhuo (Earth Drop), and consuming them harms the body; therefore, black Yangqishi must certainly be harmful. The *Classic* states it grows in Qi Mountain. Qi Mountain is located five to six li northwest of Licheng in Qizhou. However, investigations found no Yangqishi there. Instead, Yangqishi is actually produced in Lushan, six to seven li northwest of Qi Mountain. The mention of "Yunshan" in the *Bencao Jing* is likely an error for "Lushan." Currently, Mount Tai and Yizhou only produce black varieties, while white varieties are exclusively produced in Qizhou. Ministers Yuxi et al., according to Wu Shi, noted: For Yangqishi, Shennong and Bian Que considered it sour and non-toxic; Tongjun, Leigong, and Qibo considered it salty and non-toxic; Ji Shi considered it slightly cold. Some sources say it grows on Mount Tai. Yang Sunzhi stated: It is not suitable for decoctions. The *Yaoxing Lun* (Treatise on Medicinal Properties) states: Yangqishi is adverse to Shikuai and forbids mutton blood. It is sweet in flavor and neutral in nature. It primarily tonifies Kidney Qi, treats lower back pain due to seminal deficiency, cold-damp bi-syndrome in the knees, warms the uterus in women suffering from chronic cold conditions, treats cold-type masses, and regulates irregular menstruation. Xiao Bing stated: Yangqishi is a minister herb. The *Nanhai Yupu* (Record of Southern Sea Medicines) states: Only the yellow Yangqishi from Mount Tai is excellent, while the white one from Que Mountain in Xingzhou is also good. Rihua Zi stated: It treats leukorrhea, warm-pestilence, cold qi, and tonifies the five exhaustions and seven injuries. When preparing medicine, it should be calcined and quenched in water; those that congeal into a white form are superior.
The *Tujing* (Illustrated Canon) states: Yangqishi grows in the valleys of Qi Mountain, as well as Langya, Yunshan, and Yangqi Mountain. Currently, it is only produced in Qizhou, and nowhere else. Some say it exists in Que Mountain, Xingzhou, but the quality is inferior. Now, there is only one earthen hill west of Qizhou city where the stone is extracted, locally called Yangqi Mountain. This mountain often emits warm air; even in deep winter when snow covers the entire region, this mountain remains free of snow accumulation, likely due to the steaming effect of the stone's qi. There is only one mine shaft on the mountain, which is often closed off by official prohibition. By early winter, the prefecture conscripts laborers and sends supervisors to extract it. Over years, the shaft becomes deeper, and extracting the stone after breaking other rocks is very difficult. Stones that are white, with a crystal-clear texture resembling wild wolf teeth are considered superior. Those mixed with other rocks into blocks are unusable. Each year, selected high-quality stones are offered as tribute, while the rest are sold within the prefecture; otherwise, merchants cannot obtain them. Although many sell it, fine and good quality stones are still hard to come by. The old theory claims it is the root of Mica, containing traces of Mica, but this coloration is no longer seen. It was not used in ancient food-medicine formulas, but is now frequently used in tonic and kidney-nourishing prescriptions. There is no specific season for harvesting.
The *Danfang Jingyuan* (Mirror Source of Alchemical Furnaces) states: Yangqishi can be used to make external crucibles. Qingxiazi stated: Yangqi treats diseases of the Kidney.
The *Yanyi* (Expanded Meaning) states: Yangqishi resembling wild wolf teeth is the best variety. Its outer surface is not white, resembling Jiangshi (Ginger Stone). Large pieces are white inside as well. It treats lower... [Text incomplete]
