Maizi Mu (Sell-Seed Tree)
Sweet, slightly salty, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats internal bleeding from fractures and injuries, reconnects severed bones, supplements the marrow, relieves pain, calms the fetus; grows in mountain valleys.
The *Tang Bencao* commentary states: Its leaves resemble those of the persimmon. Produced in Jiannan and Qiongzhou. (First attached in *Tang Bencao*) Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully note: Currently, Quzhou annually offers it as tribute, processed as Maizi Mu.
The *Tujing* states: Maizi Mu is not recorded in the *Benjing* regarding its place of origin; the commentary notes it is produced in Jiannan and Qiongzhou. Currently, it is only found in Quzhou. It is offered as local tribute every year, known as Maizi Mu. The plant is five to seven chi tall, with a trunk diameter of about one cun. In spring, tender branches emerge; the leaves are pointed, one to two chi long, entirely green, with branch tips pale purple. In April and May, small flowers bloom; dozens of branches cluster into large flower heads, scorched red. Fruits resembling pepper seeds form alongside the flowers, black and glossy within the petals; each plant bears only three or five large clusters. Its branches and leaves are harvested in May for use.
Leigong states: After harvesting, coarsely crush the material, stir-fry with ghee until the ghee is fully absorbed, then use. For every liang of herb, use two fen of ghee as the limit.
Pungent, warm, non-toxic. Primarily treats cold qi accumulation forming masses, warms the middle jiao, supplements the lumbar vertebrae, breaks up abdominal masses, and can dye beard and hair black. The tree resembles willow, and its seeds resemble castor beans. Grows in Western Regions. (Currently appended)
Maritime Medicines: Respectfully following Xu's statement: Grows in the Western Sea, Persia country. Resembles the Chinese willow; frequently used by medical practitioners.
Sweet, warm, non-toxic. Primarily treats various diseases caused by wind and blood/qi imbalances. Long-term consumption harmonizes the middle jiao, warms and tonifies, makes one fat and robust, improves complexion, stops thirst, moistens the five zang organs, and eliminates various colds in the abdomen. Grows in Lingnan. The vines are as thick as chopsticks, also named Fat Vine, as people become fat after consuming it. (Newly supplemented, see Chen Cangqi, Ri Huazi.)
Pungent, bitter, neutral, slightly toxic. Primarily treats the "three parasites," kills lice and nits. Grows in mountain valleys. Take the root bark, grind into powder, mix with oil, and apply topically; lice and nits will all die.
The *Tang Bencao* commentary states: The root bark is reddish. Leaves resemble paper mulberry, small, round, and dense. Grows as a small tree, shooting up six to seven chi high. Produced in Xiangzhou valleys, also found elsewhere; people in Qin and Long name it Dukong. (First attached in *Tang Bencao*)
