[Swallow's Nest Grass]
Non-toxic. Primarily treats involuntary nocturnal enuresis. Burn until black, grind into powder, and administer with water in a dose of one square-inch spoon (Fangcunbi). It also treats hiccups and rebellious Qi. This grass grows in swallow nests. (Newly supplemented, found in the works of Chen Cangqi and Ri Huazi.)
*Qianjin Fang* treats women with spontaneous hematuria. Take the grass from the swallow nest, burn to ash, and administer half a qian with wine. It is also effective for men. Sun Simiao's *Shi Ji* treats sudden onset of malignant sores on the waist. If the sore originates from the heart region and already has exudate, apply a paste made of Swallow's Nest Grass powder mixed with water. Treatment must not be delayed; otherwise, systemic spread will lead to death.
[(Yin Qing) Seed]
Bitter in taste, very cold in nature, non-toxic. Treats malarial fevers with alternating chills and heat, phlegm-fluid retention causing ding swellings, stagnation due to flesh nodules, pediatric erysipelas, fever-induced mania and epilepsy, abdominal distension and fullness, edema of the body and face, hot dysentery, snake and dog bites, and toxicity from carbuncles and ulcers. Boil with Adzuki Beans (*Vigna angularis*) to resolve water retention and damp-bi syndrome, promoting urination. Grows in flatlands of Jiangdong and Huainan. Leaves resemble bamboo, growing one to two chi tall. Flowers are deep blue-green, with horn-like structures resembling bird beaks. People in the North call it Chicken Tongue Grass (*Jishe Cao*), also known as Nose-Cutting Grass (*Nizhuo Cao*). People in Wu call it Zhi. "Zhi" and "Zhuo" have similar pronunciations. Also named Green Bamboo Grass (*Bizhuzi*). The flowers are visually striking. (Newly supplemented, found in the works of Chen Cangqi and Ri Huazi.)
[Mountain Cigu]
Slightly toxic. Treats carbuncles, sores, scrofula, and tubercles. Grind with vinegar and apply externally. It can also remove facial skin tags and moles. Grows in moist areas of mountains. Also known as Golden Lantern Flower (*Jindenghua*). Leaves resemble Plantago (*Cheqian*), roots resemble Arrowhead (*Cigu*). In Lingling, there is another type called Round Cigu, with roots resembling small garlic; its therapeutic effects are roughly the same. (Newly supplemented, found in the works of Cangqi and Ri Huazi.)
Empirical formula for treating carbuncles and swellings: Take Mountain Cigu, also known as Deer Hoof Grass (*Luticao*), crush the stems and leaves, make into a paste, add honey, and apply to the sore. Effect is seen when clear blood flows out.
[Tong Seed (Yin Qing)]
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Treats bloody and white dysentery of both cold and hot types. Administer as a powder or decoction. Swallowing one seed breaks down carbuncles and swellings.
*Tang Bencao* notes: Sometimes written as a specific character. It refers to the plant whose bark people use to make ropes. Current examination of other editions' notes states: It is the plant used today for weaving cloth, making ropes, and retting hemp.
The seeds resemble hemp seeds. They are used for heat accumulation causing headless carbuncles; swallowing them facilitates suppuration and rupture. Harvest seeds in September and October, dry in shade. (Attached first in *Tang Bencao*). Ministers Yuxi et al. carefully note: *Shu Tujing* states: Tong Seed was not recorded in old texts regarding its origin. Now it is found everywhere. In the North, it is cultivated for weaving cloth and making ropes. The plant grows four to seven chi tall. Leaves resemble ramie but are thinner. Flowers are yellow. Fruits have husks resembling Hibiscus (*Shukui*), containing black seeds inside. Harvest seeds in September and October, dry in shade for use. Ancient formulas also use the root.
Yang Shi Chanru Formula treats bloody and white dysentery. One liang of Yellow Hemp Seeds (*Huangmazi*), stir-fried until fragrant and ripe, ground into powder. Administer one qian with honey water. Cure is expected within no more than two doses.
