 【Predecessors release medicine】
 "New Compilation of Materia Medica": Sophora japonica fruit tastes bitter, spicy, and salty, with a cold air and no toxicity. It enters the large intestine. It can stop salivation, replenish wounds, cool the fire of the large intestine, eliminate breast abscesses, eliminate men's vaginal sores and itching, relieve women's pain and itching during childbirth, and treat fire sores, and abortion. Swallowing seven grains with wine is especially good for inducing labor. Sophora japonica branches, leaves, flowers, and roots are used for treatment together, and the seeds are especially good. However, it can only be used temporarily as an adjuvant, and cannot be taken for a long time. If taken for a long time, the large intestine will be too cold, and diarrhea will be added. Someone asked what the effects of Sophora japonica fruit and Sophora japonica rice are? Sophora japonica rice is the stamen of the flower that has not yet opened. Its smell is the same as Sophora japonica seed, but the taste of the seed is too heavy, and Sophora japonica rice is light and clear. It seems to be better than Sophora japonica fruit in decoctions. If it is used in pills, Sophora japonica fruit is not as good as Sophora japonica fruit. Someone asked that the essence of Sophora japonica Yingxu star is recorded in "Taiqing Herbal Recipe". Take the seeds on the first day of October to get rid of all diseases and live forever. The Book of Liang also says that Yu Jianwu often took Sophora japonica fruit, and when he was over 70, his hair turned black and he could read fine words. Isn't this a sign of spiritual communication? Alas. Sophora japonica fruit is not a medicine for longevity. It is bitter and cold in nature and belongs to Yin. Long-term use will damage the spleen and stomach. Those who took it and were effective must have strong Yang rather than weak Yin, and real heat rather than false heat.
