高良姜
大温。主治突发性的寒冷，胃中冷逆，霍乱腹痛。
陶隐居说：产于高良郡，人若腹痛不止，只需咀嚼食用也有效。其形态气质与杜若相似，但叶子像山姜。《唐本草》注解说：生长在岭南地区的，形体大而虚软；生长在江左地区的，形体细而紧实。味道也不怎么辛辣，其实是一样的。现在人们互相称呼细小的为杜若，粗大的为高良姜，这是不对的。现在根据陈藏器《本草》记载：高良姜，味辛，性温。能下气、增益声音、使面色好。煮成饮品服用，可止痢疾及霍乱。又根据另一版本的注解记载：二月、三月采集根部，晒干。味辛、苦，大热，无毒。臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》记载：高良姜，属“使”药（引经药或辅助药）。能治疗腹内久冷，胃气逆呕吐，治疗风邪破气，腹冷气痛，去除风冷痹弱，治疗下气冷逆冲心，腹痛吐泻。日华子说：治疗转筋泻痢，反胃呕食，解酒毒，消宿食。
《图经》说：高良姜，旧籍不记载出产州土，陶隐居说产在高良郡，现在岭南各州以及黔、蜀都有出产，内地郡县虽然有但不堪入药。春天生长，茎、叶像姜苗但更大，高一、二尺左右。花红紫色像山姜。二月、三月采集根部，晒干。古方中也单用，治疗忽然心中恶寒，口吐清水的人。取根切成骰子大小的块，含在口中咽津液，不久即可痊愈。如果有口臭也可以含服咽下，再加草豆蔻同为粉末，煎汤常饮效果更佳。
《圣惠方》：治疗霍乱、吐利、腹痛等疾病。高良姜一两锉碎，水三大盏，煎取二盏半，去渣，下粳米二合，煮粥食用。《外台秘要》：备急霍乱吐利方：火烤高良姜令焦香。每次用五两，打破，用酒一升煮三、四沸，一次性服用。也治疗腹痛气恶。苏恭说：凡是患香港脚（脚气病），每天早晨任意饱食，午后少食，晚上不吃。如果饿了，可以吃豆豉粥。如果睡眠后不消化，想要导致霍乱的。就用高良姜一两打碎，用水三升，煮取一升，一次性喝完即可消除。等到极度饥饿时，再吃一碗薄粥。这个药非常猛烈，饮用效果好。如果突然没有高良姜，用母姜一两代替，用清酒一升，煮至极熟，去渣食用。虽然不及高良姜，也有很大疗效。《十全方》：治疗心脾痛。将高良姜细锉，微炒后捣成粉末，用米饮调下一钱匕，立即停止疼痛。
Gao Liang Jiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma)
Greatly warm. Primarily treats sudden cold, cold reversal in the stomach, and abdominal pain due to cholera-like disorder (Huoluan).
Tao Hongjing states: It originates from Gaoliang Commandery. If a person suffers from unceasing abdominal pain, chewing and consuming it is also effective. Its shape and qi are similar to Du Ruo (Pollia japonica), but its leaves resemble those of Shan Jiang (Zingiber montanum). The annotation in *Tang Bencao* notes: Those growing in Lingnan are large and soft, while those in Jiangzuo are slender and firm. The taste is not particularly pungent; essentially, they are the same. Currently, people refer to the slender ones as Du Ruo and the large ones as Gao Liang Jiang, which is incorrect. According to Chen Cangqi's *Bencao*: Gao Liang Jiang is pungent and warm. It directs qi downward, enhances voice, and improves complexion. Boiled as a drink and consumed, it stops dysentery and cholera-like disorders. Another version's annotation notes: Collect the rhizomes in February and March, and dry them in the sun. Pungent and bitter, greatly hot, non-toxic. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to *Yaoxing Lun*, state: Gao Liang Jiang acts as a guiding herb. It treats chronic cold in the abdomen, rebellious stomach qi causing vomiting, disperses wind and breaks stagnation, treats cold abdominal pain, expels wind-cold bi-syndrome weakness, treats downward-rebellious cold qi rushing to the heart, and abdominal pain with vomiting and diarrhea. Ri Huazi states: It treats muscle cramps with diarrhea and dysentery, reverse regurgitation and vomiting of food, resolves alcohol toxicity, and eliminates retained food.
*Tujing* states: Gao Liang Jiang was not previously recorded regarding its place of origin. Tao Hongjing says it comes from Gaoliang Commandery. Now, it is found in various prefectures of Lingnan as well as Qian and Shu. Although present in inland commanderies, it is unsuitable for medicinal use. It sprouts in spring; the stems and leaves resemble ginger seedlings but are larger, about one or two chi tall. The flowers are red-purple, resembling Shan Jiang. Rhizomes are collected in February and March and dried in the sun. Ancient formulas also used it singly to treat sudden evil in the heart and spitting of clear fluid. Take root cut into dice-sized pieces, hold in the mouth, swallow saliva, and recovery will occur shortly. If there is bad breath, holding it and swallowing is also effective; adding Cao Dou Kou (Cardamomi Fructus Rotundus) ground into powder and brewing as tea for regular drinking is excellent.
*Shenghui Fang*: Treats cholera-like disorder, vomiting and purging, abdominal pain, etc. One liang of Gao Liang Jiang, chopped, with three large bowls of water, decocted to obtain two and a half bowls, dregs removed, add two he of Jing Mi (Oryzae Sativum Granum), cook into porridge and eat.
*Waitai Miyao*: Emergency formula for cholera-like disorder with vomiting and purging: Roast Gao Liang Jiang over fire until charred and fragrant. Use five liang each time, break it, boil in one sheng of wine for three or four boils, take all at once. Also treats abdominal pain and foul qi. Su Gong states: For those suffering from Xiangjiao Jiao (Hong Kong foot/Jamaican itch/Charley horse - here referring to Beriberi or severe leg cramps), eat full meals freely in the morning, eat less in the afternoon, and do not eat in the evening. If hungry, one may eat Dou Chi Zhou (Vigna angularis porridge). If sleep does not aid digestion and cholera-like disorder threatens, take one liang of Gao Liang Jiang, crushed, boiled in three sheng of water to obtain one sheng, drink all at once to resolve. Wait until extremely hungry, then eat one bowl of thin porridge. This medicine is very potent; drinking it is beneficial. If Gao Liang Jiang is suddenly unavailable, substitute with one liang of Mu Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), boil in one sheng of clear wine until thoroughly cooked, remove dregs and consume. Although inferior to Gao Liang Jiang, it is still highly effective.
*Shiquan Fang*: Treats Heart-Spleen pain. Finely chop Gao Liang Jiang, lightly stir-fry, pound into powder, mix with rice beverage and take one qian bi (a small spoonful measure); pain stops immediately.
