(Purple-flowered [Lablab albus] is of superior quality. It should be stir-fried, shelled, and crushed. It resolves alcohol toxicity, pufferfish poisoning, and all kinds of plant and wood toxins; it can be chewed raw or decocted for drinking.)

(Those from Jiangxi are of superior quality. Black beans have a neutral nature; when made into fermented soybeans (Douchi), they become warm. Because they have undergone steaming, they possess ascending and dispersing properties. Combined with scallion, they induce sweating; combined with salt, they induce vomiting; combined with wine, they treat wind disorders; combined with Allium macrostemon (Xiebai), they treat dysentery; combined with garlic, they stop bleeding; when stir-fried until cooked, they also stop sweating.)

(Older Lablab albus from Jiangxi is of superior quality. Blow off the dust before use, stir-fry, and grind into powder.)

[Note: The original text here seems to contain fragmented instructions or specific preparation notes for Lablab albus or similar legumes, potentially mixed with other entries due to formatting issues in the source snippet, but translating literally based on context of "peel/skin" and "green/small".]
It can be ground raw to extract juice or boiled for consumption. When eating, it is advisable to keep the skin; removing the skin may cause Qi stagnation, as the skin is cold while the flesh is neutral. Small, round, and green ones are best. They counteract Torreya seed shells. Avoid consuming with carp and vinegar. It resolves mineral, realgar, and various plant toxins; take the whole bean (with skin) raw, ground, with water.)

(Aged vinegar brewed with rice is of superior quality. Vinegar penetrates everywhere as a processing aid, so it is widely used in medicine making. Do not consume vinegar while taking Poria cocos (Fuling) and Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen).)

(Soy sauce made from beans is of superior quality; that made from wheat is not used. The longer it ages, the better. Meat paste and fish paste are both called "Han" and are not used for medicinal purposes.)

[Note: This section likely refers to a vegetable or herb requiring blanching and cutting, possibly related to the previous context or a missing header like "Winter Melon" or similar, but strictly translating the provided text.]
Soften in hot water, tear off the fascia, cut into strips, mix with honey water or rice vinegar, lightly stir-fry, and dry in the sun. Avoid garlic, vinegar, and pepper.

(When using Momordica charantia seed stalks (Gua Di), do not use white ones. Select green melons; wait until the melon's Qi is sufficient so that the stalk naturally falls onto the vine stem. After harvesting, if not used immediately, wrap them in comb leaves and hang them in a windy place on the east wall to dry.)

(This plant, after frost, has a white powdery coating on its skin, hence called White Winter Melon. After being frosted, harvest and store for years. Break open to extract seeds, wash, dry, remove shells, and grind the kernels for use. Alternatively, crush the peel and flesh to extract juice for consumption.)

(Grind for use.)

(Raw or cooked consumption can treat chronic spleen diarrhea unresponsive to other medicines. Boiling and consuming for years is effective. However, do not consume with Rehmannia glutinosa (Dihuang); excessive consumption moves Qi. Only Ginger can control its toxicity/volatile nature.)

(Stir-fried and ground, it aids digestion but has a harsh and draining nature that damages true Qi; do not take for long periods.)

(It is an essential herb for treating sores and ulcers. Making it into powder or soaking it in oil is acceptable.)

(Take the white part of the root, 1-2 cun long, with roots attached. Wash clean. Avoid honey and Polygala tenuifolia (Changshan).)

[Note: Context suggests this refers to a seed/kernel, possibly Coix Seed or similar, given the "black skin removal" instruction.]
Extract raw juice for drinking. For medicinal use of its seeds, select clean ones, steam thoroughly, sun-dry, winnow to remove black skins, stir-fry until yellow, and grind. Avoid honey and beef; interacts with Gypsum fibrosum (Shizhongru) and Frankincense (Ruxiang).

(Aged Jingjie (Schizonepeta) is of superior quality. Remove the stems and use only the spikes. If used for stopping bleeding, it must be stir-fried until blackened.)
