(1) Primarily treats grain dysentery (Guli, 谷痢) and seminal emission (Xiejing, 泄精). The root growing towards the east is used to treat white worms (Baichong, 白虫) and roundworms (Hui chong, 蛔虫). [Zheng]
(2) Primarily stops Xiao Ke (Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome, 消渴). Causes drowsiness; should not be eaten in excess. [Jia · Zheng]
(3) Furthermore, Lin Qin (Malus asiatica, 林檎) tastes bitter and astringent, is neutral in nature, and non-toxic. Eating it closes off the hundred vessels (Baimai, 百脉). [Zheng]
(1) Primarily treats sudden onset of red and white leukorrhea (Chi Bai Xia, 赤白下) in women: Take the bark from the east side of a plum tree, remove the outer skin, and roast until it emits a yellowish fragrance. Use three sheng (approx. 600ml) of water, boil to extract the juice, strain, and drink. It takes effect twice daily. [Xin · Jia]
(2) According to records: Raw plums can also eliminate heat from labor in the joints; they should not be eaten in excess. Eating them near water induces Phlegm Malaria (Tan Nue, 痰疟). [Xin · Jia]
(3) Furthermore, Niu Li (Cow Plum, 牛李): Is toxic. Boil into a thick decoction, hold in the mouth to treat dental diseases. For noma (Gan Chong, 疳虫) in the spinal column, this decoction can be administered subsequently, followed by taking one cup on an empty stomach. [Jia]
(4) Its seed affects humans: Primarily treats abdominal distension with fluid accumulation (Gu Zhang, 鼓胀). Grind and mix with flour to make cakes; eat on an empty stomach, and diarrhea will occur shortly after. [Jia]
(1) As mentioned above, it primarily harmonizes the Zang-Fu organs (Zang Fu, 脏腑), regulates the abdomen and stomach (Fu Wei, 腹胃), eliminates irritability and confusion (Fan Kui, 烦愦), dissipates foul qi (E Qi, 恶气), and removes phlegm-solidity (Tan Shi, 痰实). [Juan · Jia · Zheng]
(2) It should not be eaten in excess as it damages the teeth and sinews (Jin, 筋); however, it is very effective in stopping dysentery. [Juan · Jia · Zheng]
(3) Furthermore, when burned to ash, it also stops dysentery. Its taste is sour and pleasant, slightly superior to Bai Mei (White Plum, 白梅). [Juan · Jia · Zheng]
(4) Furthermore, take dried fruit, often hold one piece in the mouth, swallow the saliva, which also promotes the free flow of the five Zang organs (Wu Zang, 五脏) and descends Qi deficiency (Shao Qi, 少气). [Juan · Zheng]
(5) If eaten in excess, it damages the sinews and bones. Extremely sour substances are caused by the land. If Southerners go North, they do not eat apricots. If Northerners go South, they do not eat plums. This is due to the stagnation and steaming of local Qi causing irritability, leading people to crave such foods. [Juan · Zheng]
(1) As mentioned above, sudden consumption should not be excessive as it stirs up Phlegm-Fluid retention (Tan Yin, 痰饮). [Juan · Xin · Jia]
(2) According to classics: It dispels Wind (Feng, 风), moistens flesh, and stimulates appetite. It must not be eaten in excess; calculate the days and consume gradually. It unblocks the meridians and Qi, moistens the blood vessels (Xue Mai, 血脉), and causes black hair and lost hair to regrow. [Juan · Xin · Jia]
(3) Furthermore, burn until no smoke remains, grind into a paste, and mix with lead powder (Hu Fen, 胡粉) to make a ointment. After pulling out white hairs, applying it causes black hair to grow. [Juan · Xin]
(4) Furthermore, alchemists press oil from it, mix with Zhan Xiang (Frankincense/Resin, 詹香), and apply to yellow hair, making it black as lacquer and glossy. [Juan]
(5) Initially take one pill daily, then add one pill each day. Upon reaching twenty pills, one will definitely achieve fine bones and moist flesh. [Juan · Jia]
(6) Another prescription: Can cure all hemorrhoid diseases (Zhi Bing, 痔病). [Juan · Xin · Jia]
(7) According to classics: It stirs Wind, tonifies Qi, and triggers chronic diseases (Gu Ji, 痼疾). Excessive intake is inadvisable. [Juan]
