 【Predecessors release medicine】
 "Ben Cao Jing Shu": "Epimedium has a warm and non-toxic nature. The "Ben Cao" that says it is cold is wrong. It is pungent to moisten the kidneys, sweet and warm to benefit the yang, so it is used to treat impotence and yang deficiency, and it can benefit the qi and strength and strengthen the will. Pain in the penis is caused by liver and kidney deficiency. Tonifying the two meridians will stop the pain. The bladder is the official of the state capital, where body fluids are stored. When the qi is transformed, it can be discharged. It is pungent to moisten its dryness, sweet and warm to benefit the yang to help its transformation, so it is good for urination. The liver governs the tendons, and the kidney governs the bones. Tonifying the kidney and liver will strengthen the tendons and bones. Pungent can disperse knots, sweet can relieve the middle, and warm can ventilate and promote blood circulation, so it is used to treat scrofula, carbuncle, and sores in the lower part to wash out the worms."
 "Ben Cao Shu": "Epimedium, in the Ben Jing, is the first to treat impotence and impotence. "Ri Hua Zi" also first mentioned that it can treat male impotence and female impotence, which means that it enters the gate of life and replenishes the true yang. The gate of life is the true yang in the kidney, that is, the vital energy of the human body. The so-called impotence of yang and impotence of yin is not the original vital energy, so how can it be exhaled to the dead. The so-called strengthening of qi and strength, strengthening of will, and treatment of cold air, fatigue, muscle and bone cramps are all because of its help to the vital energy. As for the pain in the penis and the difficulty in urination, they are all caused by the deficiency of liver and kidney qi. This flavor enters the kidney and helps the original yang, that is, to replenish kidney qi, and the liver and kidney are the same treatment. The elderly are drowsy and the middle-aged are forgetful, all because the original yang is declining and cannot rise. If you think about the effect, you can know the effect. It should be known that this flavor rises by descending, and its rise is due to its ability to descend."
 "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Epimedium is pungent and warm in nature, and is specifically used to strengthen kidney yang, so it is used to treat impotence. The so-called "absolute injury" refers to the absolute injury of yang. The pain in the penis is also caused by the deficiency and coldness of the kidney. The one who promotes urination refers to the old people and people with deficiency and cold who have weak yang and dribbling urine. It can supplement kidney yang and make urination more natural. It is not comparable to the case of damp heat accumulation and red and astringent water channels. Be careful not to misunderstand when reading. It can strengthen qi and strength, strengthen will, and strengthen tendons and bones, all of which are the effects of invigorating the original yang. However, the deficiency and cold are not It is suitable, but those whose Yin essence is not sufficient and whose true Yang is not solid should not be forced to grow. It can eliminate scrofula and red carbuncle, probably because it warms and circulates Qi and blood, so it can digest and condense. However, the disease of ulcer is mostly caused by insufficient Yin and blood, burning of liver Yang, and boiling of body fluids, condensation of phlegm and turbidity. Please do not misread ancient books and help the flames. Washing the sores in the lower body, the pungent and dry can remove dampness and heat, just like Cnidium monnieri washing sores and killing insects. "Rihua" is about men's lack of Yang, women's lack of Yin, all cold Wind fatigue, muscle and bone spasms, numbness of the limbs, and nourishing the waist and knees, pungent and warm products, not only benefit the kidney and strengthen the yang. It can also clear the meridians and eliminate wind, cold, dampness and arthralgia. However, "Rihua" also said that it can treat the elderly and forgetfulness in the middle-aged, which is too much praise. And Jingyue also said that men with yang deficiency and women with yin deficiency who have difficulty in having children should take it. It is a one-sided belief in warm and nourishing, which has many disadvantages and is not the right way. Shi Wan said that Xianlingpi wine is the key medicine for hemiplegia. There are two causes of failure: one is that both Qi and blood are deficient, unable to nourish the meridians, or the disease of wind, cold, dampness and heat. This is what the ancients called arthralgia, which is slow in onset; the other is that Qi and blood rush upward, disturbing the brain nerves and causing them to lose their movement, which is what we now call stroke, and what Western medicine calls brain meridian disease, which is a sudden onset. Xianlingpi wine can only cure failure caused by wind, cold and dampness, but cannot cure failure caused by both Qi and blood deficiency, and failure caused by blood rushing to the brain meridian should never be misused.
