[Xian Mao]
The nature is warm, the flavor is pungent, and it enters the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. It benefits the skin and flesh, brightens the eyes and ears, strengthens sexual function, and fortifies the spirit. Long-term use yields remarkable efficacy. Due to its warm nature, it is used to treat urinary incontinence and infertility in the elderly. Avoid consuming beef and cow's milk while taking this herb.
[Xu Duan] (Contextually inferred as Dipsacus, though title is missing in source text)
The nature is slightly warm, the flavor is pungent and neutral, and it is non-toxic. It reconnects bones and tendons, regulates blood and vessels, and treats traumatic injuries. It reduces swelling and detoxification, promotes muscle growth, and manages metal wounds and carbuncles. It shows special efficacy for mastitis and scrofula, and immediate effect for intestinal wind and hemorrhoids. When used with Nvzhen Shi (likely a variant or typo for a kidney-astringing herb like Cuscutae Semen), it reduces frequent urination. When used with Huai Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), it secures essence and stops nocturnal emission. It also warms the uterus and aids conception.
[Unnamed Herb] (Text describes a herb treating edema and clearing heat/dampness, possibly Fang Ji or similar, but title is missing)
The nature is slightly warm, the flavor is pungent, and it is non-toxic. Its properties relate to Metal and Water. It has the function of penetrating from top to bottom, treating edema, and promoting urination with great speed. When the Lung receives it, the source of transformation becomes clear; why? Because heat moves downward. It has the subtlety of turning turbidity into clarity, removing bad breath, and best relieving irritability and heat. When the Spleen receives it, stagnant fire dissipates; why? Because Qi descends and does not rebel upward. Although its warmth might seem to assist fire and scorch Metal (Lung), since the pungent flavor outweighs the warmth, it benefits essence and controls water, preventing fire from scorching Metal.
[Yin Chen] (Contextually inferred as Artemisiae Scopariae Herba based on mention of formulas and jaundice)
The nature is slightly cold, the flavor is bitter and pungent, containing slight Yang within Yin, and enters the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian. It treats rheumatism, chills, fever, and jaundice, including generalized yellowing of the body and difficult urination. Zhang Zhongjing’s Yinchen Hao Tang treats damp-heat jaundice, and Zhizi Bopi Tang treats dry-heat jaundice; these two herbs (referring to Yin Chen combined with others) treat Yang jaundice. It can also treat Yin jaundice because... [text cuts off].
[Unnamed Herb] (Text describes treating lower sores, menstruation, and acute pain, possibly Moutan Cortex or similar)
The nature is cold, the flavor is bitter and sweet, and it is slightly toxic. It primarily treats sores in the lower region and pain caused by accumulated blood from metal wounds; applying it as a powder is effective. It promotes menstruation in women and resolves masses formed by qi and blood stagnation; decocting it fresh is beneficial. It relieves sudden severe abdominal pain and stops persistent fever in chronic malaria. It is immediately effective for intestinal colic (Jiaochang Sha) and extremely potent for strangling throat bi (Chantou Bi). It kills various parasitic worms and eliminates five types of swelling and masses.
[Zao Hai]
The nature is cold, the flavor is salty and bitter, and it is non-toxic. It treats scrofula in the neck and goiters below the chin. It promotes water passages and treats urinary retention. It removes distension and pain, and softens hard, painful nodules. It treats accumulations under the skin and hernias with testicular swelling. Hai Dai (Sargassum) and Kun Bu (Ecklonia) have the same efficacy. Generally, cold naturees subdue heat, bitter flavors drain excess, and salty flavors soften hardness. Since these three herbs are cold in nature and salty/bitter in flavor, they can resolve external carbuncles that are hard and unruptured due to disordered Ying Qi. However, they must be used with guiding herbs according to the meridian affected, so that hardness will surely break and swelling will surely disappear. Incompatible with Gan Cao (Licorice Root).
