《Bencao Chengya Bankai》
Cohosh. The smell is bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic. The Lord solves a hundred poisons, kills a hundred essences and old things, destroys ghosts, repels the plague miasma, evil qi and poison, vomits out all the entrance, abdominal pain, poisonous boils, headache, cold and heat, wind swelling and poison, sore throat and mouth. Long service, light for a long time.
【Nuclear Knowledge】Out of Shu Han, Shaanxi, Huainan Prefecture County, Shuchuan Jia Jia. Spring seedlings, three feet tall. The leaves are numb and blue. April bears flowers like millet and spikes white. June is strong, black. The roots are like Artemisia, bearded, purple-black. Small and extremely strong, peeled, turquoise, called chicken bone cohosh, the skill is also special. Those who are large and yellow-white are unusable. A kind of black on the outside and white on the inside, although the quality is tight, it is called grimace-faced cohosh. Songgao is a pure cyan, the quality is also strong, and the skill is not as important as the Shuchuan cyan green. A kind of fallen bride root, resembling a color non-color, now people call it small cohosh, can also detoxify, take its leaves, and make it a children's bath soup, the Lord is shocked. Other exertions are different, and the size is different, and it is necessary to distinguish it. Cultivation: Scrape off the coarse skin, soak the yellow essence in the natural juice for one night, dry and steam, and then use it violently.
Ancestor cloud: human qi machine, rising and falling, called one week. If it can rise, the gas machine is all thoughtful. You Yun: The qi of the yang is carried forward, and the yin of evil dies. The entrance is spit out, and this is the sign. You Yun: Changsheng is immortality, and the next one lifts it, and this is the medicine. From the cloudiness and dispersion, it is the cardinal's medicine that pulls out its subtlety. But there must be true qi on the upside, otherwise it is boiled rice porridge. You Yun: Lei Gong concocted with yellow essence natural juice to soak for one night, that is, refining himself to build a foundation, for the big body, the ascender has roots to rely on.
Ascending is the first opportunity of the four qi, and the first sign of the season. The "Jing" cloud "Spring March, this is called the Chen" is the one. There is no hidden success and no entry, and there is no future life and no ascension. The so-called soft rises with time, and the accumulation is small with tall, which is not a decisive ratio. Therefore, the ten dragons are rising, and the amount of ascending is also the same. The big mole is hemp, and the group of yin is also long. It is to allow ascension, heaven and earth are born, and all things are proud. Do not kill in life, do not take away, reward do not punish, this spring qi should be the way of health. The treatment of all diseases and changes has risen to obscurity. The function is obscure, but it is still conducive to unceasing chastity.
The world is ascended, this is ascended gradually, and the path is gradually different, and each should be recognized. Shengma gives birth to the pure yang qi of heaven and earth, so it can raise the yang qi under the yin. Manifest the light and destroy the darkness, lead to the new and the old, and cohosh has both.
"This Scripture Evidence"
Cohosh. Sweet, bitter, flat, slightly cold, non-toxic. The Lord solves a hundred poisons, kills a hundred essences and old things, destroys ghosts, repels the plague miasma, and vomits out the evil qi and poison in the mouth, and vomits out the stomach pain, the poisonous boils, headaches, cold and heat, wind swelling, and sore throat. Long service, light for a long time. A Zhou Ma. Shengyizhou Valley. Roots are picked in February and August, and dried daily.
Cohosh spring seedlings, three feet tall, leaves like ephedra leaves, and blue, flowers in April and May, like millet spikes, white, firm after June, black, roots like artemisia, roots with many whiskers, purple outside black and white inside, firm is good. (Picture Sutra, Compendium)
The evil abdominal pain, the poison is also in the bottom. When the gas is poisonous, the headache is cold, the heat, the wind is swollen, and the poison is also in the middle. Sore throat and mouth sores, poison on the top also. Cohosh can be solved like many poisoners, covered with its roots white inside and black outside, stems and leaves are green, compound flowers white and solid, is for gold through the water, water from the wood, still emitted more gold qi to credit the water also. The water is also cold and harsh. The golden one, the heat of the harvest also. With the cold of harshness, the heat of the supremacy, the yang desire to reach and the yin bundle, is so poisonous. Making the wood rise freely is the so-called detoxification. Although the source of the examination is different, the disease is different, and the purpose is boiled down, all of them are hot in the middle, and cold is in the outside. Those who are outside are inherently sick, and those who are inside are not diseased. For example, typhoid fever stroke, although it is also caused by external cold and internal heat, but external cold is disease, and internal heat is the yang qi in the body. Therefore, qi and headache, cold and heat are similar to typhoid stroke, and it can be known whether to cure one or the other.
