【鹳骨】
味甘,无毒。主治鬼蛊及各类疰毒,五尸引起的心腹疾病。
陶弘景说:鹳也有两种:像天鹅且在树上筑巢的是白鹳;颈部弯曲且呈黑色的是乌鹳。现在适宜使用白色的。如今考证陈藏器《本草》记载:鹳的脚骨和嘴,主治喉痹、飞尸(一种急骤发作的病症)、蛇蝎咬伤,以及小儿闪癖(指小儿腹部痞块或惊风等症)、大腹痞满,都煮汁服用,也可以烧成黑灰后冲服。有小毒。能杀死树木,使人脱发,在洗头水中加入少许,头发会全部脱落,而且不再生长。人如果探取鹳巢抓走鹳雏,六十里内就会干旱,鹳群能飞翔激起云雾消散雨水。它们在巢中休息时,会用泥筑成水池,含满水注入池中,饲养鱼和蛇,用来哺育幼鸟。臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》记载:鹳骨,性大寒。也可以单用,治疗尸疰、鬼疰、腹痛,炙烤至黄色研末,空腹用温酒送服一方寸匕。
《衍义》说:鹳,头上没有丹红,脖子上没有黑色项圈,身体像鹤的,才是真的。而且不善鸣叫,只是互相啄击而发出声音,至于筑池养鱼、蛇来哺育幼鸟的事,怎么可以流传给后世呢?这种禽鸟多在楼阁殿宇屋脊的瓦垄土中做窝,早晚人们都能观察到,所以知道那些说法是不准确的。石条中也收录了相关内容。
【白鸽】
味咸,平,无毒。
肉 主治解除各种药物中毒,以及人和马长期患疥疮。
屎 主治马疥(一作犬疥)。鸠类。鸽子、斑鸠之类聚集在房屋之间,人患疥疮吃了它们,立刻痊愈。马患疥疮长入鬃毛和尾巴部位的,取鸽屎炒至黄色,捣成粉末,拌草喂马。又说:鹁鸽,性暖,无毒。能调精益气,治疗恶疮疥癣及风瘙(皮肤瘙痒),解除一切药物中毒。病人食用虽然有益,但恐怕吃多了会减弱药效。白癜风、疡风(麻风病或类似皮肤病),炒过后用酒送服。敷治驴、马疥疮也可以。(新补)
《圣惠方》:主治头部极度瘙痒,不痛,生疮。用白鸽屎五合,用好醋调和如稀膏状,煮两三沸,每日三次敷用。又一方:治疗白秃(头皮白色鳞屑性皮肤病),将鸽屎捣细,过筛为散剂,先用醋、米泔水洗头后敷用,立刻痊愈。《外台秘要》救急治蛊毒。用白鸽毛、屎烧成灰,用水送服。《食医心镜》治疗消渴(糖尿病症状),饮水不知足。白花鸽一只,切成小块,用土苏(紫苏)煎煮,含咽其汁液。
《衍义》说:白鸽,其毛羽颜色在禽鸟中品种最多。野鸽屎一两,炒微焦,麝香另研,吴白术各一分,赤芍药、青木香各半两,柴胡三分,延胡索一两,炒后去薄皮,七物同为粉末,用无灰酒调服一钱,治疗带下排脓。等到脓排尽就停止后续服药,仍需用其他药物补血脏。
[Stork Bone]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Non-toxic. Indications: Governs ghost-gu (parasitic infestations) and various zhu-poison (chronic infectious diseases), and heart/abdominal disorders caused by the Five Corpses (Wushi).
Tao Hongjing stated: There are two types of storks: those resembling swans that nest in trees are White Storks; those with curved necks and black plumage are Black Storks. Currently, the white variety is preferred. According to Chen Cangqi's Materia Medica: The foot bones and beak of the stork treat throat obstruction (Houbi), Flying Corpse (Feishi - a sudden onset disease), snake and viper bites, as well as children's Shanpi (abdominal masses or convulsions), and abdominal fullness/distension. These are treated by boiling into a decoction for oral administration, or by burning to black ash and ingesting. It has slight toxicity. It can kill trees and cause hair loss; adding a small amount to bath water causes all hair to fall out and prevents regrowth. If humans probe nests to take stork chicks, drought will occur within sixty li; the flock can fly and stir up clouds to dissipate rain. When resting in their nests, they build pools with mud, fill them with water carried in their mouths, raise fish and snakes, and feed these to their young. Minister Yuxi et al., according to *Materia Medica of Drug Properties*: Stork bone is extremely cold in nature. It can be used alone to treat Corpse Zhu, Ghost Zhu, and abdominal pain. It should be roasted until yellow, ground into powder, and taken on an empty stomach with warm wine, one Fangcunbi (a traditional measure).
*Yanyi* states: The true stork has no red patch on its head, no black collar on its neck, and a body like a crane. It does not cry loudly but makes sounds by clacking its beak. The story about building pools to raise fish and snakes for feeding young cannot be verified for posterity. This bird often nests in the tiles and soil of pavilion eaves, observed daily by people, thus revealing such accounts as inaccurate. It is also recorded under the entry for Stone Strip.
[White Pigeon]
Taste: Salty. Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic.
Meat: Treats poisoning from various drugs, and long-standing scabies in humans and horses.
Feces: Treats horse scabies (also noted as dog scabies). Pigeons and doves gather among houses. Humans suffering from scabies who consume them recover immediately. For horses with scabies affecting the mane and tail, collect pigeon feces, roast until yellow, grind into powder, and mix with fodder for feeding. It is also said: Bobwhite pigeons are warm in nature and non-toxic. They regulate essence and qi, treat malignant sores, scabies, wind-pruritus (skin itching), and resolve all drug poisonings. Although beneficial for patients to eat, excessive consumption may reduce medicinal efficacy. Vitiligo and Yangfeng (leprosy-like skin disease): Roast and take with wine. Also applicable for applying to scabies sores on donkeys and horses. (Newly supplemented)
*Shenghui Fang*: Treats extreme scalp itching without pain, accompanied by sores. Use five he of white pigeon feces, mix with good vinegar to form a thin paste, boil for two or three boils, and apply three times daily. Another prescription: Treats white tinea capitis (baldness with scaling). Grind feces finely, sieve into powder, wash the head first with vinegar and rice water, then apply; cure is immediate. *Waitai Miyao* emergency treatment for gu poison: Burn white pigeon feathers and feces to ash, mix with drink and ingest. *Shiyi Xinjing* treats Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome) with unquenchable thirst. Take one white flowered pigeon, cut into small pieces, decoct with Tusu (Perilla), hold in mouth and swallow the juice.
*Yanyi* states: Among birds, white pigeons have the most diverse plumage colors. Prescription: One qian of wild pigeon feces, roasted slightly scorched; one fen each of Moschus (Shexiang) separately ground and Wu Baizhu (Atractylodes); half liang each of Chishao Yao (Red Peony Root) and Qingmuxiang (Aucklandia); three fen of Chai Hu (Bupleurum); one liang of Yanhusuo (Corydalis), roasted and peeled. Grind these seven substances into powder. Mix with clear wine and take one qian on an empty stomach to treat leukorrhea and expel pus. Stop subsequent doses once pus is exhausted, and continue treating with other herbs to tonify the blood organs.
