食茱萸 Siksuyu(suyunamu Yeolmae) (식수유(수유나무 열매))

Original, read line by line 東醫寶鑑 · Tangaek — Decoctions vol. 3

1. 主冷痺, 腰脚軟弱. 起陽, 殺牙齒蟲痛, 及腸中三蟲, 惡蟲毒.

   It governs naengbi (冷痺, cold impediment) and weakness of the lower back and legs. It rouses yang, and it destroys toothache from worm-eaten teeth, the samchung (三蟲, three worms) in the intestines, and the venom of noxious insects.

   HomiclubSiksuyu is the fruit of a tree in the prickly-ash group. The rue family holds sancho, chopi, evodia, and siksuyu together, and the old records frequently confused them with one another.

2. 療腸風痔疾, 去虛冷, 療水氣.

   It addresses jangpung (腸風, intestinal wind) and haemorrhoids, dispels heoraeng (虛冷, deficiency cold), and addresses sugi (水氣, water qi).

3. 在處有之. 功用與吳茱萸同, 少爲劣爾.

   It is found everywhere. Its use is the same as evodia, only slightly inferior.

4. 顆粒大, 經久色黃黑, 乃是食茱萸. 顆粒緊小, 經久色靑綠, 卽是吳茱萸也. 《本草》

   The one with large grains that turn yellow-black with age is siksuyu. The one with tight, small grains that take on a blue-green colour with age is precisely evodia. 《Boncho (本草)》

   HomiclubThe two fruits are told apart by grain size and by the colour they take on with age, a practical clue from a time when dried material had to be judged by eye alone. The same features are still checked when examining prickly-ash fruits.

5. 又云, 皮薄開口者, 食茱萸也. 《本草》

   It is also said that the one with thin skin and a gaping mouth is siksuyu. 《Boncho (本草)》
