[Chuandi Tai (Moss from the Bottom of a Boat)]
Nature and Flavor: Cold, non-toxic.
Indications: Treats epistaxis (nosebleed), hematemesis (vomiting blood), and Lin syndrome (dysuria characterized by frequency, urgency, and pain). Usage: Combine Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) with Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean Juice), decoct strongly into a soup, and sip frequently. It also treats five types of Lin syndrome; take an amount the size of a duck egg, boil, and ingest. Additionally, fine moss found in water treats epidemic febrile diseases (infectious febrile conditions) presenting with chest oppression and stuffiness; crush, extract juice, and ingest. (Newly supplemented content is found in the works of Meng Shen, Chen Cangqi, and Ri Hua Zi.)
Chen Cangqi stated: It treats five types of Lin syndrome. Take a piece the size of a duck egg, boil in water, and ingest. *Shenghui Fang*: Treats "Ru Shi Fa Dong" (adverse reactions caused by ingesting mineral drugs), leading to dysuria with obstruction and strangury, and mental restlessness and confusion. Usage: Take Qing Tai (Green Moss) from the bottom of a boat, the size of half a chicken egg, add one large cup of water, decoct until reduced to two-fifths, remove dregs, and take warm. Administer three to four times daily. *Zimu Milu* records: Xiao'er Chi You Dan (Pediatric Red Wandering Erysipelas, an acute skin infection with migrating redness), which moves up and down the body; if it reaches the heart, death ensues. Crush moss from water into powder and apply topically for good results.
[Hong Dou Kou (Red Cardamom Fruit)]
Nature and Flavor: Pungent, warm, non-toxic.
Indications: Primarily treats intestinal deficiency with watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping pain, Huoluan (acute gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea), vomiting of sour fluids, and resolves alcohol toxicity. It should not be taken in excess, as it causes roughness of the tongue and loss of appetite. It is said to be the fruit of Gao Liang Jiang (Galangal). Its shoots resemble reeds, leaves resemble ginger, flowers form spikes, and tender leaves grow curled with a slight reddish hue. It grows in various regions of the South Sea. (Currently appended)
Chen Yuxi et al., according to *Yao Xing Lun*, state: Hong Dou Kou can also be used alone, with bitter and pungent flavors. It can treat abdominal pain due to cold qi, eliminate miasma and fog toxins, remove retained food, warm the abdomen and intestines, and treat vomiting, diarrhea, and dysentery.
*Hai Yao Ben Cao* states: Select tender ones, add salt; they form clusters that do not scatter. They must be dyed with Hibiscus rosa-sinensis to deepen the color. It effectively alleviates drunkenness and resolves alcohol toxicity. There are no other significant uses beyond this.
[Shiluo (Dill)]
Nature and Flavor: Pungent, warm, non-toxic.
Indications: Primarily treats pediatric abdominal distension due to qi stagnation, Huoluan with vomiting and regurgitation, cold abdomen with inability to eat, and fullness/stuffiness in both hypochondria. It grows in Fo Shi Guo (an ancient country name referring to Sri Lanka and surrounding areas), resembling Ma Qin Zi (Caraway seeds), with a pungent aroma. Also known as Ci Mou Le. (Currently appended)
Chen Yuxi et al., according to Ri Hua Zi, state: It strengthens the spleen, opens the stomach and promotes qi movement, warms the intestines, kills fish and meat toxins, nourishes the Kidney Zang organ, strengthens sinews and bones, and treats Kidney Qi disorders.
*Tujing Bencao* states: Shiluo originates from Fo Shi Guo; currently, it is produced in Lingnan and nearby regions. Seedlings emerge in March and April; flowers and fruits are similar in size to She Chuang Zi (Cnidium fruit) but have a pungent aroma. Fruits are harvested in June and July. Nowadays, people mostly use it to harmonize the five flavors; it is rarely heard of being used medicinally.
*Hai Yao Ben Cao* states: According to *Guangzhou Ji*: It grows in Persia. Ma Qin Zi (Caraway seeds) are black and heavy. Shiluo Zi (Dill seeds) are brown and light. It treats Ge Qi (obstruction of qi in the diaphragm/chest), aids digestion, warms the stomach, enhances food flavor, and is harmless even in large amounts. However, it should not be combined with As Wei (Asafoetida), as it will diminish its flavor.
