[Mint] (Note: The first paragraph describes Mint, though the header is missing in the snippet, context implies it. However, strictly translating the provided text which seems to be a list of herbs where headers might be implicit or cut off. Based on "气温" (Warm nature) and "辛凉" (Pungent and cool), this matches Mint description in some texts, but let's stick to the literal translation of the attributes provided).
The medicinal nature is warm, the flavor is pungent, and both scent and taste are light and clear. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. Precisely because its nature is pungent-cool and light-floating, it can dissipate wind-heat from the upper body, eliminate distension and fullness caused by rebellious Qi, clear and benefit the convergence point of the six Yang meridians, and remove pathogens leading various meridians. When used with *Digeupi* (Root Bark of Ground Plum Tree / *Lycii Cortex*), it can alleviate bone-steaming fever. When used with *Sangbaipi* (Cortex Mori / *Morus Alba Root Bark*), it can...

The medicinal nature is mild/warm, the flavors are pungent and sweet, and both scent and taste are thin and light. It is non-toxic. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. Precisely because its nature is light-floating, it can dissipate cold pathogens from the upper jiao/diaphragm and the exterior. Therefore, it releases the exterior and resolves the muscle layer, treating wind-cold very swiftly; it opens the stomach and promotes digestion, being excellent for treating distension and fullness. Combined with *Duohuo* (Radix Saposhnikoviae) and *Cangzhu* (Rhizoma Atractylodis), it also treats podagra (gouty arthritis). Combined with *Shigao* (Gypsum Fibrosum) and *Baizhi* (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae), it also treats bad breath. The effects at the lower part of the root are slightly milder, making it suitable for those with slightly deficient constitutions. It expels phlegm, directs Qi downward, calms asthma, opens the heart orifices, moistens the lungs, and stops coughing. It dissipates disorders of the five diaphragms and breaks up hard masses of zheng-jian (accumulations). It benefits urination and defecation, and halts cholera-like vomiting. It is contraindicated in patients with exterior deficiency.
[Section 3 - Likely Chuanxiong/Ligusticum based on content, translated literally]
The medicinal nature is warm, the flavor is pungent, and both scent and taste are light and clear. It is non-toxic. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. It removes wind from the head, face, and skin, and eliminates generalized dryness and itching associated with bi-syndrome. Precisely because its nature is warm and moves through the muscles, it can treat headaches of the Foot-Yangming Meridian. When used with *Xinyi* (Flos Magnoliae Bungeanae) and *Xixin* (Radix et Rhizoma Asari), it treats nasal diseases. When used with *Pugongying* (Herba Taraxaci), it can drain pus. When used with *Neituosan* (Internal Support Powder), it removes putrefaction and promotes flesh growth. When used with *Xuming Tang* (Continuing Life Decoction), it treats facial paralysis (deviation of mouth and eyes). Externally, it dissipates mastitis and back carbuncles; internally, it supports the interior to treat intestinal wind and hemorrhoids. It is indeed an essential herb for all sores, ulcers, smallpox, and measles. It also serves as a guiding herb for the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian; perhaps because its flavor is pungent, it enters the Lung exclusively. It uses *Danggui* (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) as an assistant herb, and is incompatible with *Xuanfuhua* (Flos Inulae).
[White Gypsum]
The medicinal nature is greatly cold, the flavors are pungent and sweet, and it is non-toxic. Both scent and taste are thin and light. Its action sinks and descends inward, belonging to Yin. It is a herb of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. The Yangming meridian governs the muscles. Precisely because its flavor is sweet, it can moderate Spleen Qi, benefit Qi, stop thirst, and remove fire. Precisely because its flavor is pungent, it can resolve the muscle layer and induce sweating, ascending upward to stop headaches. Therefore, whether wind pathogens injure Yang or cold pathogens injure Yin, it swiftly resolves exterior pathogens. For excessive eating due to Stomach heat, or inability to eat due to Stomach heat, it is extremely effective in draining Stomach fire. It is specially effective for intermittent food stagnation and phlegm-fire. Even severe epigastric pain can be cured immediately. Dongyuan (Li Dongyuan) said it controls fire pathogens and clears Lung heat; Zhongjing (Zhang Zhongjing) has the name "White Tiger" [in his formulas]. It removes Stomach heat and restores the ability to enjoy food; Yilao (Wang Haogu) considers it a great cold agent. It is contraindicated when the body is cool, the interior is quiet, and both hands and feet are cold, lest it consume blood.
