**Kuaodong Rui (Buds of Tussilago Farfara)**
Pungent, sweet; warm in nature. Yang category. Non-toxic. Grows in the valleys of Changshan (a county name, belonging to Zhejiang) and near the waters of Shangdang (mentioned previously). The leaves are large, dense, and clustered, resembling *Brassica pekinensis* (Napa cabbage); the flowers emerge from the roots, resembling *Chrysanthemum morifolium* (Chrysanthemum). Among all herbs, only this one disregards ice and snow, being the first to greet spring. Originally called "Zuandong" (Drilling through Ice), now known as "Kuandong". Select the tender buds before they unfold for collection, removing the outer scattered bracts. Soak in Licorice Decoction (*Gancao Tang*) overnight, dry, then crumble before decocting. Adverse with Niter (*Xiaoshi*), Sophora Flower (*Zaojia*), and Scrophularia Root (*Xuanshen*). Averse to Ephedra Stem (*Mahuang*), Magnolia Flower (*Xinyi*), and Fritillaria Bulb (*Beimu*), and also averse to Scutellaria Root (*Huangqin*), Coptis Rhizome (*Huanglian*), Astragalus Root (*Huangqi*), and Celosia Seed (*Qingxiang*). Guided by Almond Seed (*Xingren*), harmonizes well with Pulsatilla Root (*Ziwan*). Treats lung abscess with purulent, bloody, and foul-smelling sputum; stops pulmonary cough with thick, sticky phlegm. Moistens the lungs, drains fire pathogens, directs qi downward, and calms panting. Resolves palpitations due to heart deficiency, dispels convulsions and epilepsy caused by pathogenic heat. Tonifies deficiency, eliminates vexation, clears the liver, and brightens the eyes. Also expels chronic cough; smoke it and inhale.
**Ziwan (Pulsatilla Root)**
Bitter, pungent; warm in nature. Non-toxic. Commonly grown near inhabited areas, but those from Zhending (a commandery name, belonging to Northern Zhili) are superior. The roots are very soft and fine, harvested in early spring. Wash with water, remove the head, soak in honey overnight, then bake for use. Avoid Polyporus (*Leiwuan*) and Polygala Root (*Yuanzhi*). Adverse with Ditchweed Herb (*Qumai*) and Aconite Lateral Root (*Tianxiong*). Averse to Artemisia Capillaris (*Yinchenhao*). Guided by Kuaodong Rui. Primarily treats cough with rebellious qi and wheezing, pulmonary phlegm with pus expectoration; treats pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, cold-heat stagnation. Can tonify deficiency in consumptive diseases, and驱除 (expel) gu poison and flaccidity. Usually combined with Stemona Root (*Baibu*) and Kuaodong Rui, ground into powder, and taken with Ginger and Mume Soup. Jointly treat chronic cough, achieving miraculous results. (Kuaodong Rui 1 liang each, Stemona Root 5 qian, ground into powder; take 3 qian per dose. Send down with Ginger and Mume soup, once after meals and once before bed. Nuwan has similar properties, produced in the mountains and rivers of Hanzhong (a commandery name, belonging to Shaanxi). Also known as Baiwan, only averse to saline substances. When Ziwan is unavailable, this can be used as a substitute. Also primarily treats convulsions, epilepsy, cold-heat, and wheezing; stops cholera-like diarrhea, dysentery, and borborygmus. Clears frequent cough due to lung injury, removes fullness in the bladder.)
