【Literature Excerpt】《Da Ming Materia Medica》: “It treats all kinds of qi in the heart and abdomen, cold pain in the bladder, vomiting and regurgitation, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, strengthens the spleen and digests food, and stabilizes the fetus.”
《Zhenzhu Nang》: “It disperses stagnant qi, regulates all qi, harmonizes stomach qi, and relieves lung qi.”
《Compendium of Materia Medica》: “It is a medicine for the qi of the three burners, which can raise and lower all qi. All qi that is stagnant belongs to the lungs, so it is used for qi stagnation in the upper burner, which is to relieve the metal stagnation; qi stagnation in the middle belongs to the spleen, so it is suitable for qi stagnation in the middle burner, because the spleen and stomach like fragrance; qi stagnation in the large intestine causes heaviness in the back, qi stagnation in the bladder causes stranguria, and liver qi stagnation causes pain, so it is suitable for qi stagnation in the lower burner, which is to clear the blockage.”
《Compendium of Materia Medica》: “《Compendium of Materia Medica》 says that it is a general medicine for treating qi, harmonizing stomach qi, clearing heart qi, lowering lung qi, soothing liver qi, quickening spleen qi, warming kidney qi, eliminating stagnant qi, warming cold qi, smoothing reverse qi, reaching the surface qi and clearing the internal qi, and managing unity All the internal and external qi of the body, up and down, are its unique function. ”
“Pharmaceutical Meaning”: “Incense can ventilate, harmonize the five internal organs, and is an important medicine for regulating all qi.”
“Compendium of Materia Medica Seeking Truth”: “It can relieve qi and relieve the middle, and is an important medicine for the three-burner qi. However, the three-burner is also the most important in the middle. If the middle is wide, the upper and lower parts are all connected, so it is called the key agent for the three-burner to relieve stagnation. As for the book, it can rise and fall, disperse and replenish, not to say that rising is like rising wood, and falling is like heavy, but because its qi is stagnant and cannot rise, it gets this qi to overcome it. Moreover, this is more bitter and less spicy, saying that it is too much to fall, but not enough to rise, saying that it can disperse, but not enough to replenish. If you don’t read it carefully, you will be confused by the book, which is not the case.”
“Compendium of Materia Medica Justice”: “The fragrance of the prescription is strong and the taste is thick. “Benjing” only says that it is spicy, and “Bielu” says it is warm. It is used to work with qi, clear up and down, can rise and fall, and is not warm and comfortable. How can this be achieved?”
