孩兒,即现在的兒茶。李时珍所云出南番者,系茜草科植物兒茶钩藤 Uncaria gambier (Hunter) Roxb. 带叶嫩枝的干浸膏,现主產于印度尼西亚、新加坡等国, 古时可能由爪哇国、 暹罗国(今泰国)、 老挝等国进口。李时珍所云“今云南等地造之”者,系豆科植物兒茶 Acacia catechu (L. f.) Willd. 树枝或树干的干浸膏,现主產于云南西双版纳等地。该药在元代《饮膳正要》中已有“甘、苦,微寒,无毒”,“去痰热,止渴,利小便,消食下气,清神少睡”等药用记载。此外,李时珍在该药附方项中亦引黄济之(15世纪中叶人)的《本草权度》曰:“鼻渊流水,孩兒末吹之,良。”可见,该药并非首出于《本草纲目》。
