【Predecessors release medicine】
① "Ben Cao Jing Shu": "Cnidium monnieri tastes bitter and flat; "Bie Lu" says it is pungent, sweet and non-toxic; now we look at its smell and taste, it must be warm and dry, it is yang. Therefore, it is used to treat swelling and pain in the genitals of women, impotence and itching in men, remove numbness, and benefit joints and malignant sores. "Bie Lu" warms the middle and lowers the qi, making women's genital organs hot, men's genitals strong, and people have children. Because bitterness can remove dampness, warmth can dissipate cold, pungent can moisten the kidneys, and sweetness can benefit the spleen, it can cure all diseases caused by deficiency, cold and dampness in women and men. Once the cold and dampness are eliminated, the disease will go away, and it can benefit yang, so it can cure the disease and also have a tonic effect."
② "New Compendium of Materia Medica": "Cnidium monnieri has a very unique effect. It can be used for both internal and external treatment, and is particularly good for external treatment. If you want to make pills and powders, use it with ginseng, astragalus, angelica, rehmannia, and cornus. It is really beneficial. However, it is also suitable for people with yin cold and no fire. If the yin is deficient and the fire is active, it is not suitable to take it."
③ "Ben Jing Feng Yuan": "Cnidium monnieri not only helps men strengthen their fire, but also can relieve women's depression. If you don't understand the meaning of Ben Jing, you can't get the treatment method."
④ "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Cnidium monnieri is a warm, violent and strong product. Although the "Benjing" says it is bitter and pungent, it is mainly used to treat swelling and pain in the vagina of women and impotence and itching in the penis of men. It is mainly used to treat cold and dampness. It must be due to the deficiency of kidney yang and the spread of cold water. Only then can it be taken internally. Zhen Quan said it is poisonous, and Binhu said that snakes like to lie under it and eat its offspring. It is born in a low, wet and sweaty place. It is originally dominated by damp and hot air. It is known that it contains poisonous substances. Looking at the preparation method of Lei Dun, it is soaked with thick blue juice and then mixed with raw Rehmannia juice and steamed. It is nothing but a supervisory method. Its dry and strong nature makes it rarely used as an internal medicine in recent medical books. Moreover, it is considered a cheap product in the market and is not processed. How can it be used in decoctions? The "Ben Jing" also says that it can remove numbness and benefit joints, and treat epilepsy. Its dry and strong nature can open up the meridians and dredge the joints. However, it should not be used lightly if it is not cold and damp, or if it has not been treated legally. The "Ben Jing" also treats malignant sores, so it is a medicine for external treatment. For external sores with damp heat, pain and itching, and all kinds of sores, it can be washed with soup or ground into powder for application. The effect is very quick, so it should not be ignored as a cheap product.
