【Predecessors release medicine】

Cheng Wuji: "The liver is the source of blood. When blood accumulates, the liver qi becomes dry. The liver is bitter and urgent. Eat something sweet to relieve it. The sweetness of peach kernels can relieve the liver and disperse blood. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing used it in Didang Decoction to treat typhoid fever for eight or nine days, with blood accumulation, fever, lower abdominal distension and pain, and spontaneous urination. It can also be used to treat sweat loss, deep heat and toxicity, vomiting blood, blood in the chest, irritability and coma. It can also be used with horseflies, leeches, and rhubarb."

"The Secret of Using Medicines" states: "Peach kernel is bitter to relieve stagnant blood and sweet to generate new blood, so it must be used to coagulate blood. It also removes heat from the blood."

"Compendium of Materia Medica": "Peach kernel promotes blood circulation, so it is best to use it raw with the skin and tip; to moisten dryness and activate blood circulation, it is best to soak it in soup, remove the skin and tip, and fry it until it turns yellow, or fry it with wheat bran, or burn it to preserve its essence, depending on the recipe."

"Ben Cao Jing Shu" says: "Blood is yin; it is a tangible thing, and it circulates throughout the body. Once it stagnates, it will cause masses, blood stasis, blood stasis, or women's menstrual blockage, or blood stasis caused by beatings and injuries, and hard and painful blood in the heart. All of these are caused by the foot Jueyin, because it is the organ that stores blood. Peach kernel is bitter and can relieve stagnation, pungent and can disperse knots, sweet and warm and can relieve the liver, so it is mainly used for the above symptoms. When the blood in the heart is gone, the qi will go down and the cough will stop. It tastes bitter and pungent, so it can kill small insects." "Peach kernel is good at breaking up blood, dispersing but not collecting, purging but not replenishing. If it is used excessively or improperly, it can cause bleeding to continue and damage the true yin."

"Pharmaceutical Chemistry": "Peach kernel, bitter in taste, can relieve blood heat, moisturize the body and nourish dry intestines. If it is ground with the skin and used more, it can go to the liver meridian, mainly to break up blood stasis, relieve menstrual water, and treat pain all over the body, numbness of the limbs, left hemiplegia, and severe pain in the left foot. It can relax the meridians and promote blood circulation, and has the function of removing blood stasis and promoting new blood. If it is peeled and mashed, it can be used less, and it can go to the large intestine, and treat constipation caused by blood deficiency and constipation caused by blood dryness, because it can moisten the blood, cool the blood and harmonize the blood, and has the power to open knots and relieve stagnation."

"Ben Jing Feng Yuan" says: "Peach kernel is a special medicine for blood stasis and blood stasis. Bitterness can relieve stagnant blood, and sweetness can generate new blood. After all, it has the most effect of breaking blood, which can be seen from the main treatments in Ben Jing. Zhongjing's Taohe Chengqi Decoction and Didang Decoction are both used to break blood. It can also treat heat entering the blood chamber, stasis, lumps, amenorrhea, malaria, heart and stomach pain, and constipation of the large intestine, and it can also disperse the blood stasis of the liver meridian. Boiling it to make incense can treat hernia, pain and itching, which is also the method of Qianjin."

"Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Peach kernel is mainly used to treat blood stasis and is a liver medicine. It can also relieve blood stasis in the skin and pores. Because it is a liver medicine, Taohe Chengqi Decoction, Didang Decoction, and Didang Pills are used to treat the lower abdomen, Biejia Jian Pills are used to treat the hypochondrium, Dahuang Mudan Decoction is used to treat the large intestine, Guizhi Fuling Pills are used to treat chronic diseases, and Xiayuxue Decoction is used to treat the area below the navel. Because it can also relieve blood stasis in the skin and pores, Dahuang Changchong Pills are used to treat skin and nail ulcers, and Qianjin Weijing Decoction is used to treat chest ulcers. Wang Haizang used Guizhi Honghua Decoction with sea clams and peach kernels to treat women with blood stasis in the chest. This is the end of the use of peach kernels."
