Since the five grains have already been discussed, vegetables should now be selected for use.
Cong (Scallion) primarily treats headache and has a dispersing action; it unblocks the Large and Small Intestines, and its white part can calm the fetus and relieve pain. Jiu (Chinese Chive) tonifies Kidney deficiency and benefits Primordial Yang, warms the Middle and directs Qi downward; its seeds treat nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea.
Cong: Pungent, Warm, non-toxic. Jiu: Pungent, Warm, slightly sour, non-toxic. Neither Cong nor Jiu should be consumed in excess, as this will cloud the spirit. Additionally, they should not be eaten with honey. Crushing them to extract juice stops headache; decocting with wine and spraying on the body surface of smallpox makes the lesions naturally ruddy—this refers to Hu Su (Coriander).
Lai Fu (Radish): Also known as Luobo. Sweet, Pungent, non-toxic. The root and tender leaves are edible. When cooked, it aids digestion, harmonizes the Middle, directs Qi downward, removes phlegm-stagnation, and promotes robustness. Hu Su: Pungent, Warm, non-toxic. It aids grain digestion, opens the Heart orifices, supplements deficiencies of the Five Zang organs, promotes urination and defecation, and expels noxious influences.
Bai Dong Gua (White Winter Melon) eliminates restlessness and thirst; Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) expands the chest and diaphragm, resolving phlegm constriction.
Dong Gua: Sweet, Slightly Cold, non-toxic. It treats strangury, promotes urination, clears heat, dissipates abscesses, unblocks the Small Intestine, and awakens the Spleen. Using the kernel of its seed is particularly effective. Bai Jie Zi: Pungent, Warm, non-toxic. There are green, white, and purple varieties, but only the coarse, white seeds are used medicinally. It dispels cold qi, attacks retroflexion of the stomach (fan wei), and treats upper-jiao Qi rebellion.
Dong Kui Zi (Malva Seeds) facilitate difficult childbirth and promote delivery, lubricating the viscera to facilitate excretion; Xiang Ru (Mosla Herb) treats cholera with muscle cramps, heart and abdominal pain, reducing vexation and dispelling summer-heat.
Dong Kui Zi: Sweet, Cold, non-toxic. Found everywhere; the seeds are sown in autumn, covered and nurtured through winter until spring when they form seeds, hence called "Winter Malva." It dispels cold and heat; the root is used to treat infantile malnutrition (gan ji). Xiang Ru: Pungent, Slightly Cold, non-toxic. It directs Qi downward, dispels vexation and heat, reduces swelling, and stops thirst.
Yun Tai Cai (Rapeseed) causes disease, generates parasites, and damages Yang Qi. Qie Zi (Eggplant) causes sores, aggravates chronic conditions, and damages the spirit; it should be eaten sparingly.
Yun Tai Cai: Pungent, Warm, toxic. Not suitable for excessive consumption as it damages Yang Qi and causes intestinal parasites. It primarily breaks up mass accumulations (zheng jia), unblocks blood, eliminates erysipelas, and resolves breast abscesses. Qie Zi: Has purple and white varieties. Sweet, Cold, cold-natured, not suitable for excessive consumption. Decoction of eggplant roots washes frostbite; ash from the stem calyx treats intestinal wind (blood in stool).
Jie Cai (Mustard Greens): Pungent, Warm, non-toxic. Directs Qi downward, relieves fatigue, and also treats headache.
Ma Chi Xian (Purslane) scatters blood, applies to sores and fire-erysipelas, kills parasites, and grinds away cornea opacity. Cao Fan Lv (Stellaria Media) treats back carbuncles and skin diseases; when mashed, it is suitable for topical application.
Ma Chi Xian: Found everywhere. Sour, Cold, non-toxic. Stops thirst, treats bloody dysentery, grinds away eye opacity, and facilitates difficult urination. Cao Fan Lv: Sour, Neutral, non-toxic, also named Ji Chang Cai.
To resolve phlegm, stabilize panting, and relieve distension, seek Su Ye (Perilla Leaf). To disperse Wind-Qi causing headache, Mint (Bo He) is essential.
Zi Su (Purple Perilla): Pungent, Warm, non-toxic. Leaves that are purple and fragrant are best. Use leaves to resolve phlegm, direct Qi downward, and open the appetite; use stems to disperse Wind-Qi and treat headaches; use seeds to relieve wheezing and treat coughs. Bo He (Mint): Pungent, Bitter, Warm, non-toxic. Promotes sweating, aids digestion, relieves distension, treats cholera and cold damage, and has dispersing properties.
Yi Tang (Malt Sugar) consolidates sweat and builds the Middle, significantly supplementing deficiency and emaciation. Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven) nourishes the Spleen, promotes food intake, and ensures surplus Stomach Qi.
Yi Tang: Sweet, Slightly Warm, non-toxic. Made by boiling glutinous rice into porridge, adding Mai Ya (Sprouted Hordeum) after cooling, clarifying, and reheating into malt sugar, stored in clean vessels. In summer, submerge in a well to prevent souring. Various grains can make malt sugar, but only that made from glutinous rice enters medicine; it stops thirst, resolves phlegm, and treats coughs. Shen Qu: Sweet, Great Warmth. Aids digestion and directs Qi downward.
To regulate postpartum women, removing stasis and generating new blood still requires Cu (Vinegar). To unblock blood vessels and enhance medicinal potency, apply together with Jiu (Alcohol/Wine).
Cu: Also known as Ku Jiu. Treats carbuncles, removes masses, reduces gangrene, and subsides swelling. Jiu: Bitter, Sweet, Pungent, Great Heat, toxic. Expels evil, removes malignancy, and breaks up mass accumulations.
Xiang Chi (Fermented Soybean Paste) is originally a food item, but it is indispensable in treating Shang Han (Cold Damage).
Dan Dou Chi (Light Fermented Soybean): Bitter, Cold, non-toxic. Treats headache, promotes sweating, stops dysentery, and clears heat. Soaked in wine and mashed, it is excellent for applying to affected feet.
Composing this fu without presuming my own wisdom, I present the weights and measures of drug properties. "Chuai" means to measure or estimate.
