刺蒺藜具有散风、平肝、明目的作用,为配制明目蒺藜丸的主药。其炮制方法,历代文献多为“炒去刺(尖)’用。但近代有的地区则用盐制。笔者认为,可能是“潼蒺藜”炮制方法之误。潼蒺藜具有补肾固精的功能,可用盐制。而刺蒺藜非补肾之品,不必用盐制。 Hedgehog has the effect of dispersing wind, flattening liver, and clearing eyes, and is the main drug for preparing Mingmu Xiewan. In its concoction method, most of the historical documents were used for “sting and puncturing (sharpening).” However, in some regions in modern times salt was used. The author believes that this method may be a mistake in the method of “simmering”. Salt can be used, and the hedgehog is not made of salt.
