[Feilian]
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats heat in the bone and joints, heaviness and soreness in the shins. It addresses dizziness, a sensation of heaviness on the vertex, evil wind invading the skin causing sensations like bee stings or needle pricks, with small bumps appearing on the skin like fish roe. It treats hot sores, carbuncles, hemorrhoids, damp bi-syndrome (painful obstruction due to dampness), stops coughs caused by wind-evil, and promotes lactation. Long-term consumption makes the body feel light, benefits qi, brightens the eyes, and prevents aging. It can be decocted or dried. Also known as Loulu, Tianqi, Fuzhu, Feiqing, Futu, Feizhi, and Muhe. It grows in rivers and marshes of Henei. The roots are harvested in the first lunar month, and flowers in the seventh and eighth months, then dried in the shade. (It works well with Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata [Wutou], and is incompatible with Ephedrae Herba [Mahuang].) It is found everywhere. It closely resembles Kucai (a type of edible plant), but its leaves attach to the lower part of the stem, the stem has raised ridges resembling arrow feathers, the leaves are often serrated or notched, and the flowers are purple. It is rarely used in secular prescriptions, but Daoists consume its branches and stems for longevity, and it is also included in Shen Zhen Fang (Divine Pillow Formula). Since there is now a distinct Loulu, this is not that alias. (Da Guan Vol. 7, Zheng He p. 184)
[Huzhang]
Bitter in taste, warm and slightly cold in nature, highly toxic. It primarily treats heart pain, alternating chills and fever, qi stagnation, accumulations, Fuliang disease (a type of abdominal mass), tendon injuries leading to flaccidity, spasms, or laxity, and promotes urination. It removes dampness from the genital area and treats wind-induced vertigo. It grows in valleys of Hanzhong and Wanqu. Harvested in the second and eighth lunar months, then dried in the shade. (Xueqi [Sophorae Flavescentis Ramulus et Folium] serves as its guiding drug; it is incompatible with Aristolochiae Manshuriensis Radix [Mangcao].) It is also found in nearby regions, closely resembling Pinelliae Rhizoma [Banxia], but larger, with tubers around the edges resembling a tiger's paw. Currently, it is mostly used broken into three or four pieces, and is not standardly used in prescriptions. (Dunhuang Ben Xinxiu Vol. 10, Da Guan Vol. 10, Zheng He p. 246)
[Langdangzi]
Bitter and sweet in taste, cold in nature, toxic. It primarily treats toothache, expels parasites, treats flesh bi-syndrome, spasms and stiffness, enables vigorous walking, and causes hallucinations of seeing ghosts. It treats mania, wind-phrenzy, and inverted spasms. Excessive consumption leads to frenzied running. Long-term use makes the body light, enables running as fast as a galloping horse, strengthens willpower, increases strength, and enhances spiritual connection. Also known as Hengtang and Xingtang. It grows in coastal river valleys and Yongzhou. The seeds are harvested in the fifth lunar month.
It is now found everywhere. The seeds resemble those of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus [Wuweizi] but are very small. They are only used in formulas treating mania. Upon investigation, this herb should not be consumed in excess. Long-term use naturally... (Text ends here, continuing: Vol. 10, Da Guan Vol. 10, Zheng He p. 249)
