Dengling Gen (Root of *Catharanthus roseus*), also known as Tu Qing Mu Xiang.
Take two to three liang, pound into a paste, wrap in spider webs, and apply externally to ding sores (hard, painful nodules), which will draw out the root of the toxin. For swelling and pain of the scrotum, take its juice mixed with wine for immediate effect.
It is toxic and should not be taken in large doses; otherwise, it may cause incessant vomiting and diarrhea.
Bitter, cold. Treats tian xing wen bing (epidemic warm diseases), promotes urination, treats tan pi (phlegm-fluid accumulation masses), induces labor, and kills parasites. Combined with Xiong Huang (Realgar) and Ru Xiang (Frankincense), it treats li feng (leprosy).
Refers to Hei Bai Chou (Black and White Morning Glory Seeds).
It works well when combined with Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) and Qing Mu Xiang (Aucklandia Root).
Pungent, hot, toxic. Enters the Qi level of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and can also reach down to the Mingmen (Gate of Life). Treats water distension due to Qi-level pathology, and promotes bowel movements for wind-type constipation. It travels through the collaterals, resolves consolidated phlegm, breaks blood stasis, and expels the fetus. Combined with Zao Jiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit), it treats phlegm obstruction and intestinal blockage. Combined with Chuan Lian Zi (Sichuan Chinaberry Seed), it treats constipation due to damp-heat. (If the essence tunnels are blocked, causing both urinary and fecal retention, adding Shan Jia Jia (Pangolin Scales) and Hui Xiang (Fennel) increases efficacy.) Rinse away floating seeds, steam with wine until cooked, dry, grind, remove bran, and use the finest powder. Some use half raw and half cooked. Its pungent and hot nature is vigorous and acrid, depleting Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Contraindicated for those with pathology in the Blood level, or those with weak Spleen and Stomach accompanied by fullness and stagnation.
Refers to Zi Wei (Chinese Trumpet Vine Flower).
Sweet, sour, slightly cold. Enters the Blood level of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian and Foot-Shaoyin Gallbladder Meridian. It can clear latent fire from the blood. Treats residual ailments after childbirth, beng zhong (metrorrhagia), zheng jia (masses) and blood closure, alternating chills and fever, and conditions where blood heat generates wind. Soaked in good wine, it treats bleeding after defecation. Mixed with carp bile, it is applied to ulcers of the vulva.
Steamed with child's urine before use. Do not let it approach the nose, as inhaling it damages the brain. Contraindicated for those with blood deficiency. (Because it breaks blood stasis.)
Also known as Qiang Mi (Snakeberry).
Bitter, astringent, cold. Enters the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Dispels wind, fire, dampness, and heat; treats enuresis and bloody dysentery; treats throat bi (obstruction), sores, and tinea; promotes tissue regeneration and kills parasites.
The white skin of the root, decocted for juice to gargle, treats toothache and oral thrush.
Cleaned with wine, pounded for juice to mix with other medicines.
Refers to Qiang Wei Zi (Rose Fruit/Seed).
Sour, slightly cold. Enters the Yangming Meridian, treats excessive sleepiness due to upper-jiao heat, treats carbuncles and ulcers, and promotes joint mobility. Assisted by Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry) and Di Fu Zi (Kochia Fruit), it treats eye heat and dim vision.
