[discussion by famous experts] 1. In the compendium of Medical Sciences, it is said that "the nature of drop stone is similar to that of arsenic stone. The ancient Fangdi stone and alunite are often confused with each other, and the two characters are similar, so they are mistaken. However, the nature of alunite is cold and non-toxic, while the nature of dripping stone is hot and toxic. Lu nongshiyun: the power of dripping stone is ten times the milk. According to today's Luoshui not ice, there are also drops of stone, people call Wenluo is also. Take this stone urn, the water is not ice, its nature is so, how can you accept. "

② According to Ben Jing Feng Yuan: "the arsenic stone is slightly yellow halo, and the dripping stone is completely white, slightly different. The nature of heat and poison does not reduce arsenic. Today's medicine is often filled with arsenic stone, but the drop stone can only break the accumulation and attack Bi, but can't open phlegm and disperse knot. It is because of the failure of shengjindan and jieyaodancuo, the good reason is that the drop stone is misused. "
