The horn of the saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica, Bovidae). Enters the Liver and Heart channels. Salty and cold, it is the premier herb for pacifying the Liver and extinguishing wind, clearing heat, resolving toxicity, and cooling the blood to settle fright. The classical formula Ling Jiao Gou Teng Tang uses it as chief. NOTE: The saiga antelope is a CITES Appendix II critically endangered species; goat horn (shan yang jiao) is the recommended clinical substitute.
便于煎出有效成分
单煎1–3g，宜先煎2小时以上。研粉冲服每次0.3–0.6g。因资源稀缺且价昂，推荐以山羊角（每次15–30g）代替。

脾虚寒证者忌用。不宜与热药同用。价格极为昂贵。赛加羚羊（Saiga tatarica）为CITES附录II保护物种，野生种群极度濒危，临床应优先使用代用品（山羊角等）。
濒危物种警告：赛加羚羊（Saiga tatarica）为CITES附录II物种，野生种群在中亚地区极度濒危（2015年疫病导致超过20万头死亡）。中国现允许使用库存和人工养殖来源，但野生采集已严格禁止。临床推荐以山羊角（Caprae Cornu）为代用品，用量15–30g，功效相近但力较缓。本词条收录仅为学术完整性之目的，建议临床优先选择替代品以支持野生动物保护。
味咸寒。主明目，益气起阴，去恶血注下，安心气。
