[Shi Jue Ming (Haliotidis Concha)]
Salty, neutral. Enters the blood aspect of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. It can generate water of extreme Yin to restrain excessive Yang heat. Clears wind-heat from the Liver and Lungs to treat internal cataracts. Eliminates bone-steaming fever and unblocks the five types of strangury. When combined with Long Gu (Fossilized Bones), it stops seminal emission. When combined with Gu Jing Cao (Galegae Herba), it treats corneal opacity after smallpox. When combined with Gou Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus) and Gan Ju (Chrysanthemi Flos), it treats headache and dim vision. Boil with Di Yu juice and grind; use the fine powder obtained by the water-flying method. Quench in Tong Bian (Child's Urine) and grind; use the fine powder obtained by the water-flying method. Wrap in flour and roast until cooked; use the fine powder obtained by the water-flying method.
[Tian Luo (Snail Meat)]
Salty, cold. Enters the blood aspect of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Promotes diuresis and resolves phlegm. Removes edema. Scatters goiters and nodules, treats hernia and white turbidity, and cures impotence and heart pain. Combined with Da Suan (Allii Sativi Bulbus), it treats edema. Paired with Mang Xiao (Natrii Sulfas), it treats blood accumulation due to Cold Damage. Paired with Chuan Bai (Phellodendri Cortex), it treats white turbidity and nocturnal emission. Grind into powder for use. Those who consume Dan Shi (mineral pills/elixirs) should avoid eating this, as it causes abdominal knotting and pain.
[Another Record for Snail Meat]
Salty, cold. Moistens the Five Zang organs, stops polydipsia, resolves alcohol toxicity, and eliminates blood stasis.
[Wa Long Zi (Arcae Concha)]
Sweet, salty. Dissolves blood masses and scatters phlegm accumulations. Treats cold pain due to Qi and Blood disorders. Formed into pills with Vinegar to treat all types of Qi and Blood Zheng Jia (masses). (First quench three times with Vinegar, then form vinegar pills for administration.) Burn together with the shell until carbonized but retaining efficacy, grind into powder, and apply externally to treat infantile gangrenous stomatitis (Zou Ma Ya Gan).
[Hai Piao Xiao (Sepiae Endoconcha)]
Salty, neutral. Toxic. Resolves the muscle layer to dissipate constrained heat, promotes urination to reduce edema, removes red corneal opacities when applied to eyes, and eliminates gan erosion ulcers. If it causes vomiting of milk, swallowing stops immediately.
[Mu Li (Oyster Meat)]
Sweet, warm. Tonifies the Five Zang organs, benefits sexual function, eliminates abdominal cold, and treats leukorrhea. Postpartum emaciation is resolved by consuming it, leading to robustness. Decocting the juice for decoction preparation is also permissible.
[Bie Jia (Softshell Turtle Meat)**Note: Text describes meat properties often associated with Bie or similar aquatic animals, though context implies turtle/snail flesh properties**
Sweet, extremely cold. Decocting the juice treats heat, awakens the spirit, and promotes diuresis to clear damp-heat. Eliminates jaundice, treats Hong Kong foot (Jiao Qi) rushing upward, and acute hardness of the lower abdomen, all treated by this. Burn together with the meat until carbonized but retaining efficacy, grind into powder, mix with Sesame Oil, and apply to ruptured scrofula. Add Bing Pian (Borneolum Syntheticum) dissolved in water to treat hemorrhoidal fistulas and carbuncles. Add Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) powder, let stand for a long time, take the juice, and apply to eyes to relieve pain, and to treat rectal prolapse. Crush Da Suan (Allii Sativi Bulbus) and Che Qian Zi (Plantaginis Semen), apply to the lower abdomen to treat water-dampness edema. Crush and add She Xiang (Moschus), apply to the navel to cause descending of hot qi. (Also treats Jin Kou Li - anorectic dysentery.) Those raised in water vats for a long time are superior.
[Mu Li (Oyster Shell)]
Stops seminal emission, treats heart pain. (Burn to charcoal, grind, and administer with water.)
