**Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma)**
Also known as Wushan (Black Fan), Wu Yuan (Black Kite Root, assuming character omission based on standard texts), and commonly referred to as the root of the Purple Butterfly.
It is pungent, bitter, and slightly cold in nature, and is toxic. It enters the channels of Hand-Taiyin (Lung) and concurrently influences the Qi level of Foot-Jueyin (Liver). It drains excess heat from the Upper Jiao and descends the Ministerial Fire of Jueyin. By moving stagnation and phlegm accumulations in the Liver and Spleen, tubercles naturally dissipate. By dispersing old blood stasis in the Heart and Spleen, masses and growths (Zhengjia) are naturally eliminated. It promotes bowel movement, eliminates malaria-related splenomegaly (Mamo), and when crushed into juice, treats throat obstruction (Houbi) and painful hernias affecting the yin region. When combined with Xingren (Apricot Seed), Bei Wuwei (Schisandra Berry), and a small amount of Mahuang (Ephedra), it treats wheezing sounds in the throat resembling that of a water frog. Paired with Xuanguangen (Daylily Root) and white honey, crushed and applied externally, it treats early-stage mastitis (Ruyong). Combined with Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), and raw Gancao (Licorice Root), it treats laryngitis/throat obstruction. Shegan flower and Shandougen (Sophorae Tonkinensis Radix et Caulis), dried in shade and powdered, blown into the throat, are highly effective for sore throat and swelling.
Harvest the rhizome, slice it, soak in rice washing water for one day, then boil with Zhu Ye (Bamboo Leaf) for half a day, dry in the sun, and use. Extract the juice, mix with vinegar, and gargle to induce salivation. Contraindicated in deficiency patterns.
*(Note: The second paragraph lacks a subject heading in the source text but describes properties consistent with certain detoxifying herbs or potentially a continuation/error in the source structure. Translated literally as per instruction.)*
Sweet, pungent, and cold in nature, and toxic. Use the root, crush it to extract juice, to resolve all kinds of toxins and expel any bone fragments stuck in the throat. Applied topically, it reduces carbuncles and swellings. For early-stage mastitis in women, simply take the root, grind it, mix with wine, and ingest; apply the dregs to the swollen area to reduce swelling. It can also be used to loosen teeth. Care must be taken not to let this herb touch the teeth, as it damages them.
*(Note: The third paragraph lacks a subject heading.)*
Also known as Jin Fengxian (Golden Phoenix) and Ran Zhizhicao (Nail-Dyeing Grass).
Sweet in taste, warm in nature. Invigorates blood and resolves accumulations. Treats unbearable pulling pain in the waist and hypochondrium.
The roots and leaves are bitter, sweet, and pungent, with slight toxicity. They disperse blood, unblock meridians, soften hardness, and penetrate bones. They transform various bone obstructions and ingested copper/iron objects. Applied to traumatic wounds from beating, they reduce swelling and pain.
*(Note: The fourth paragraph lacks a subject heading but refers to the seeds described next.)*
These are the seeds of Fengxianhua (Impatiens balsamina).
Slightly bitter, warm in nature, with slight toxicity. They open orifices, penetrate bones, and soften hardness. They expel bone obstructions and open dysphagia (Yige).
Lightly stir-fry before use. Users must avoid contact with teeth; excessive use may irritate the throat.
*(Note: The fifth paragraph lacks a subject heading but provides compatibility info.)*
Works well with vinegar. Juemingzi (Cassiae Semen) acts as its guiding herb (Shi). It is incompatible with Gancao (Licorice Root).
Pungent, bitter, and warm in nature, and toxic. Enters the Hand-Taiyin (Lung) channel. It drives out water retention and phlegm癖 (accumulations), traveling from the highest parts of the body directly to the Lower Jiao. It treats five types of water diseases affecting the five zang organs, skin distension and fullness, panting and urgent coughing, chest/hypochondriac and lower back pain. It also treats wind-bi, malarial fevers, and can be used to poison fish. (The "five waters" refer to Fengshui, Pishui, Zhengshui, Shishui, and Huanghan.) Combined with Zhusha (Cinnabar), formed into honey pills, and taken with jujube soup, it treats chronic malaria with palpable masses. Paired with Jiaomu (Zanthoxylum Seed), equal parts roasted to powder and taken with water, it treats jaundice caused by alcohol, yellow urine, mental restlessness and oppression, and fullness in the calves. Combined with Dazao (Jujube) and Mangxiao (Mirabilite), it treats edema and fluid retention in the chest/diaphragm. Soak Qingbu (blue cloth) in the juice and apply to the chest to treat agitation caused by epidemic febrile diseases. Crush into juice, soak a thread overnight, and use the thread to strike off hemorrhoids. Old, aged material is superior. Boil in vinegar for more than ten boils, discard the vinegar, soak in water overnight, dry in the sun to eliminate toxicity; alternatively, stir-frying with vinegar is the next best method. Small doses yield rapid results; large doses damage true yuan (vital energy). Misuse in deficiency patients will inevitably lead to premature death.
