The Yi nationality medicine originated from the primitive society period, this period of Yi people s food and lodging in the forest, and most live in trees, so it is the most direct and most superficial understanding of plant. Perhaps it is due to this historical and natural development, the Yi nationality medicine and plant the indissoluble bound.
When Yi ancestors on one hand in the harsh natural environment and in face of the ferocious beasts, hand in their own illnesses, in the practice of struggle with the natural disasters and diseases, slowly accumulated in protecting the health and improve the physical experience, also the development of medical knowledge.
Like other ethnic minority medicine, medicine is the basis of the Yi nationality medicine development. Medicine of Yi medicine plant, animal, mineral part three.
In the maternal age in Liangshan Yi area, often with a plant to substitution of a particular tribe or clan, and even the name of some mountain also comes from the name of plants. Such as "Darrow wave", "dari wave", "Shu Zubo" and so on, they are black que mountain grass, que mountain and Sugi Ki mountain grass growth. This naming habits, from a matriarchal society continues today, since the Liangshan area still has to plant named after the place, such as the (rhubarb), er Wu (Elsholtzia patrini garcke) place names.
Enter the patrilineal society by even the marriage instead of group marriage, promote social progress and genetics. At this time, there was a further accumulation of knowledge of plant. Yi ancestors constantly found some poisonous plants in migration, grazing life, about poisonous weeds and poisoning of the understanding of time, is about the "eat grass seeds of fruit tree" (Tian He) in a sub era, but was not clearly recorded. The concept of "poisoning" and "poisonous weeds" is the gathering of wild plants and grazing life in Yi ancestors, the emergence of sheep and human poisoning phenomenon, combined with the fact that taste test accumulation caused by the body. Poisonous weeds can poison to kill livestock, attach great importance to the ancestors of the Yi, so they were identified on the poisonous weeds down a lot of effort, and toxicity to plants parts are described, such as they think Aconitum plants "poison hidden in the root, blossom in the head". As witnessed by the painful scene poisonous weeds poisoned our compatriots, Yi ancestors has a very deep impression on poisonous weeds. And will be recorded in the book, to indicate where growth of poisonous weeds and toxic parts, shown in the later generations.
Before the establishment of Nanzhao Yi from the early years of slavery, Yi history has never Anak ("Southwest Yi Zhi") and Meng cover lineage fifty-first world to the rajah, Benedict color (76) Yi early slave society. During this period, Yi Chinese medicine mutual communication. Some effective medicine of Yi medicine use were also used in Chinese medicine, and included into the Chinese medicine medicine books, such as the name of "drug" accept Mingyi bielu contained a lot of Yi area. In "Huayang" "waterways" "Shuowen" "Hanshu" Hanshu "" natural history "continued" and other books, are also recorded some Yi medicine, Song Dynasty and the Yi areas horn, musk tribute to the emperor of the records. All this, explained fully the Yi medical exchanges, promote development of Yi People's medicine, but also enriched the treasure house of Chinese medicine.
Before the Ming Dynasty, Yi dynasties to plant medicine record is very fragmentary, scattered. At the advent of the "Shuangbai Yi medical books," a book, will spread a lot of plants collected in folk medicine dispersed, although it is not specifically materia books which are written, but Yi medicine plants rich, is unprecedented. Recorded in the book of plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, bark, whole plant, resin and plant parasitic herbs, hundreds of, such as root skin stem 66, leaves of 17 species, the skin class 12, fruit, seeds of 19 species, 34 species of whole plant, stem wood of 6 species of parasitic, resin, 6 species of fungi.
In addition, the famous doctor Zhao Xuemin in the "supplement to compendium of Materia Medica", also recorded a few Yi medicine, found widely in this period of the Yi nationality medicine application.
The middle of the fifteenth Century, the Ming Dynasty herbalists Lanmao into "South Yunnan Materia Medica", becoming China's first local herbal Chinese medicine theory and minority medicine experience combined monograph. Prior to this, ancient books of ethnic medicine although there are contained, but not as good as LAN Mao collected a large scale, multi national drug drugs, especially in southwest area. "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" in the record not only the name of the drug, and textual research on plants and also try to clarify the origin, all ethnic groups in local medication experience summarized in books. Many drugs are credited to the yi. Such as lemongrass, old stork, Schefflera Venus grass, Cymbopogon, firethorn, olive (Emblica officinalis), sugarcane etc..
To the Qing Dynasty, the use of plant drugs more widely. Yi a "sacrifice" in say: "after all the vegetables are plant dispensing, dispensing". Clear records of Amomum Tsao Ko, red fruit, ginger, pepper, pigs catch with grass and other medicinal plants efficacy indications.
"Let the medicine by the" also has a more obvious characteristic, is the medicine with each other, in order to improve the curative effect. The book that all plant, animal, livestock, grain, can be used to complement each other with the use of drugs, is very extensive, as long as it is on the condition of effective drugs can be combined with. This fully shows that the Yi medicine now from a single direction of compound a step forward, this is undoubtedly a new starting point for the development of Yi medicine.
Because Yi living place with unique natural environment, the medicinal material is very rich. According to the 1942 "Xichang County Industrial annals" records, with an annual output of tens of thousands of kilograms of herbs was near Xichang and a lot to Sichuan, Yunnan Province and the mainland two.
The area of Liangshan is not only rich in medicinal herbs, including rare medicinal herbs is remarkable. Herbal medicine is rich in resources laid the foundation of the Yi nationality medicine, the ancient Yi medicine can be continuously perfected.
Yi use animal medicine originated in primitive times, in the long process of contact and the beast in the understanding of the ancestors of animals has increased, it later in the Yi nationality medicine development, especially in the formation and development of animal medicine, have had a profound impact. Due to the mutual exchange of Yi medicine, animal medicine and Yi area more by the Han nationality and other ethnic attention. "Mingyi bielu" records in the Yi areas bezoar, musk, rhinoceros horn, nidus Vespae and other animal drugs, and clearly records the origin of animal medicine, sexual flavour, functions, indications.
Animal drugs used by the Yi ancestors in a part of the medicine is still in common use, such as the bear gall, gall, gall, wild boar, pheasant bile sheep bile, ox bile, bile, bile and fox bats, eagles, monkey meat meat, meat, bear meat, pheasant meat, beef, mutton, snake meat, eggs etc..
In the Ming Dynasty's "Ming Yi books" is a rich content of the Yi nationality medicine monograph. The book on sixteenth Century before the Yi nationality medicine experience summarized. Which is not only a detailed record of the use thereof in the treatment of various diseases and medications, also recorded a bile, oil, bone, blood, meat, liver, kidney and other medicinal parts of various animal drug scourge, and insect drugs etc.. Compared with other Yi medicine books the detailed exact.

The other 4: the weasel mouth, grey hair, wildcat tail, turtle brains.
Visible Yi understanding of animal medicine is very broad, but also good at using animal medicine.
Because Yi long life in the mountain area, in addition to animal is rich in resources, but also the discovery and application of some mineral medicine. Although mineral medicine and less use of Yi medicine, but its origin is very early. In primitive times in Yi ancestors engaged in hunting and grazing, useful mineral medicine of the original method. These mineral medicine, all are natural, access to relatively easily, such as the natural sulfur, natural potassium nitrate, salt blocks etc.. In "Mingyi bielu" recorded in many mineral medicine of Yi area, such as air, green, Ceng Qing green (green skin push), mirabilite (Wang Xiao), Wen Quan (Liu Huang), saltpeter, scrap gold, psoriasis, blue, amber Bian Qing, salt, etc.. Some mineral medicine not only Yi medicine use, Han and other ethnic doctors at applications, and has been used to this.
Yi ancestors not only have drug resources of our rich, also has its own unique therapeutic features
Such as the Liangshan area wizard called "Bimo" Bimo and teacher of Italy, have a certain cultural knowledge, as well as with medicine, they engage in superstitious activities at the same time, in fact also use medical knowledge as a supplement. Like chanting some Bimo, often to the patient to drink a bowl of various grass boil "soup of God", massage, herbs and other pharmaceutical activities of some Bimo can. Some Bimo and often used smoked, washing, steaming and other three kinds of external treatment method in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, paralysis, malaria and other diseases. The fumigation method used for short duration, steaming method used for the longer course of disease in patients with chronic disease. Some Bimo in the use of wine blowing law innominate toxic swelling, furuncle swollen, swollen lymph nodes, snake bites embolism area have some experience. The method for oral liquor blowing swelling, half an hour to two or three hours, in order to achieve dredge stasis, gas through blood and the purpose of disinfection. Witchcraft prevailed, obstacles and damage the normal development of Yi People's medicine, but also save and use some medical knowledge. Such as "offered by the" medicine ", as part of a sacrifice by" about the human life, but which involves a lot of medical information, such as name of disease, drug acquisition, processing, processing, compatibility, and a large number of animal medicine and plant medicine efficacy and other precious materials.
The Yi folk, widely exist some good medicine of ordinary people, their medical experience from inside the family mouth, and mainly used in the family. With the experience of medical herbs mainly melting, pharmaceutical, cure diseases, such as the number of jobs in a formula. When dispensing drugs without scale, weight nor a fixed pattern, mainly in the doctor's experience as the basis. They have their own name for the animal and plant medicine locally produced, for example, says musk lecher, bear bile for e day, rhubarb as Eben, plantain is Wumo Diego repair etc.. And the national special medication experience accumulation, such as the use of a suit (Dong Kui) induction of birth, used clothing BUA Festival (hairy Staphylinidae) tuberculosis of lymph treatment, plus (Ranunculaceae plant purple Aconitum) solution of aconitine poisoning, Lamogeer (Asteraceae et al. Three seven) cure rheumatism, joint pain, other also have cough, Islamic (Bei Mu) monkey bone cure lung, gall Xiaoliu, bear gall treat lump, wild boar Shentong urinary stone etc..
Yi customary collecting fresh plant leaves or root or root bark, add a little water or salt washed rotten, kneading, Ramming Pile, and apply to the wound site. For example, the red column (Ren Dongke the elder) root bark Chong LAN, plus other drugs shikiji fracture, your my (BA Zi flowers) flowers along with its juice in the palm rub, rub bee bites, the conventional plant medicine up to hundreds and special effects in different parts of different kinds of Chinese herbal medicine the.
Due to the long life in high mountains, harsh natural environment, more cause cuts, arrows, injuries, snake trauma opportunity, so long in the treatment of trauma of Yi medicine. For example in the treatment of snakebite musk, Xiong Danzhi, Viola yedoensis, bone Danzhi toothache hemostasis fracture etc.. For rheumatism, malaria, tuberculosis, scabies, stomach, pain, dystocia, lymph tuberculosis treatment has accumulated certain experience, but because of not understanding the reason and can not reveal the essence of these diseases resulting from the theory, but with the help of witchcraft, attributed to the ghost haunting ghosts, liver disease, such as leprosy, sores ghost ghost ghost, lung disease, but in the treatment of a variety of ways as mentioned before.
The drug compound, in the Yi nationality medicine have also used. As Yihedebu (round pig) based, with soybeans, oats, lard, vegetable oil modulation ointment in the treatment of tuberculous lymph nodes, in Yi District general. And as a complement to Wumo Diego (Che Qiancao), Cio (wild wormwood), uh what Armagh (Xian Hecao), by deed (bee package) four boil water to eat governance diarrhea indigestion etc..
Someone will Yi medicine characteristics summed up as: "to experience, longer than the trauma, both within the rule, herb rich, animal medicine, like fresh, compound."
In disease prevention, the Yi people from practice has been realized, the choice of residence, should avoid the disease endemic areas and poisonous weeds overgrown land. And the leper implement moved to live alone, after the death of cremated or buried deep in the leather wrapped, infected animals also carry out deep soil burial, or to the entire family (Tribal) move move to escape the disease etc.. And pull help (Nv Zhen), Gu (Illicium), drug fruit (Yan Shanxiang) such as smoked "ghost" of the air disinfection sterilization, to prevent measles, typhoid, malaria epidemic infectious disease.
In modern times, Yi Chinese medicine increased exchange, Yi medicine is good at absorbing Chinese medicine nutrition, and gradually get rid of the past unilateral single drug, the traditional pattern of experience only, make Yi medicine has a breakthrough development, lay a good foundation for the development of Yi medicine.
Diligence and wisdom of the ancestors of the Yi in the long life of practice, in the struggle with the disease constantly sum up experience, and to discover, accumulated the national characteristic of medical experience, finishing a lot of medical literature, for the development of our national medicine wrote a glorious page. The ancient Yi medical with representative literature are summarized as follows:
