[discussion by famous experts] 1. Compendium: "the lake is made of blue and lime, its smell is slightly different from that of blue, and its hemostasis, detoxification and insecticidal effect seems to be better than that of blue. "

② "Materia medica Huiyan": "Landian is a medicine for detoxifying heat, dispersing swelling and accumulating insects. According to the ancient prescription, it can stop bleeding, such as the fall of golden sores and the bleeding of injured skin and flesh. When people mistakenly think that it can stop bleeding, they put it into the medicine of vomiting blood syndrome. Although it is cold and dry, it can't be taken into the mouth. If they eat it by mistake, it will lead to dryness and poison entering the pharynx, and then add turbulent blood storage. There are many victims, so they should be careful. "

③ According to the prescription book, Banlan is used to cure apoplexy, relieve the pain of epidemic disease and treat insect poison. Nailan juice is also said to be able to detoxify. Shi Zhen said that when someone was sick and vomited, it was ineffective to take the jade pot. The blue juice was used for the mouth, and the ear was covered to kill insects and reduce fire. If so, such as indigo, synthesized from lime. Shizhen said that her skill of pulling out poison and killing insects is better than that of LAN Yi. Second, Lu's incisions were not due to the harm of lime. He said that it was better to use blue juice directly, which was not too cautious. If you stop at relieving the poison of internal heat, both indigo root and indigo juice are effective. If you apply it externally, indigo can also be used, and you can't get rid of it. As for internal use, if it is used to disperse stagnant fire, indigo flower should be removed from its feet, not only to prevent its harm, but also to take its light and clear Qi, not to be tired by turbid Qi. "

④ "The justice of Materia Medica" says: "the nature of the lake is bitter and cold. It is the same as the Bluegrass in detoxification and heat clearing. But with lime, it can stop bleeding, detumescence and kill insects. Chen cangqi claims that it can relieve all kinds of poisons, apply heat sores, baldness sores, and heat swelling; Linhu claims that it can treat choking diaphragm, that is, lime falls heavily, so it can break hard accumulation, eliminate blood stasis, and kill insects (choking diaphragm has the syndrome of damp heat producing insects). It is good to use it as a dressing for external ulcer, heat toxin, sores, carbuncle and itchy dampness sores. "
