[discussion by famous experts] 1. In the compendium of Medical Sciences, "mung bean has the same effect of detumescence and gangrene, but it has more power of pressing heat and detoxification. Moreover, it can replenish qi, thicken intestines and stomach, dredge channels, and avoid taking it for a long time. However, when it is used as cold powder or as bean wine, it is cold or hot, which can cause human diseases. It's all done by people, and it's not the bean's fault. Bean powder should be green and greasy. In surgical treatment of carbuncle and gangrene, there is internal care and heart protection powder, which is very effective. Danxi Zhu's theory is to play its role. "Mung bean is smooth in flesh and cold in skin. It can detoxify all the poisons of stone, arsenic and plants. It's better to study the skin and take it with water. According to Yi Jian Zhi, some people take Aconitum carmichaeli wine, their head is swollen like a bucket, and their lips are bleeding. They eagerly ask for the number of mung beans and black beans, chew them and drink them in decoction. "

② "The classic of materia medica:" mung bean, sweet and cold, can remove heat, lower Qi and detoxify. The stomach dominates the muscles and the heat generates wind. Therefore, if the heat of Yangming is solved, the rubella will be eliminated. For those with fullness, dampness and heat invade the spleen and stomach; for those with heat running to the dolphin, dampness and heat invade the kidney channel; for those with dehumidification, swelling disappears; for those with heat, Qi goes down; for those with spleen and stomach, dampness and heat flow to the spleen and stomach; for those with kidney evil, dampness and heat flow to the kidney channel. "

③ According to Ben Cao Qiu Zhen, "mung bean tastes sweet and cold. According to the book, it is very good. It is said that it can thicken the intestines and stomach, moisten the skin, and nourish the five viscera and the spleen and stomach. According to this, it is not too bad to use Shen, Qi, GUI and Shu. According to the second book, those who can be thick, moist, harmonious and resourceful are due to the internal burning of toxin. All viscera, meridians, skin, spleen and stomach are disturbed by poison. Taking this nature is good at detoxification. Therefore, all carbuncle and other diseases do not need this effect. "
