Translation of the Original Text
Excessive consumption causes fever; people in the South eat it raw. In the Min region, it is called Olive Seed. Those from the North are boiled, smoked, and dried before being brought. [Evidence]
(1) Primarily treats aphonia (loss of voice), vitiligo-like skin conditions (Zidianfeng), jaundice, accumulated heat, and irritability. [Evidence]
(2) Another prescription for treating fresh bleeding from the lower body: burn Gardenia seeds (Zhizi Ren) to ash, mix with water, and administer one Qianbi dose. Adjust the amount based on age and severity. [Evidence]
(1) The above treats evil qi within the five zang organs and disperses wind-qi between the skin and joints. It aids digestion, eliminates three types of parasites (San Chong), expels Taenia saginata (Cunbai worm), and dissipates cold qi in the abdomen. [Vol. Jia. Evidence]
(2) Additionally, for hot sores, grind into powder and mix with lard for topical application; it heals. [Vol. Jia]
(3) Another prescription: mix with white sand honey to treat wet tinea. [Vol. Jia]
(4) Another prescription: mix with horse milk/cream to treat dry tinea; mix with cow milk/cream to treat all kinds of sores. [Vol. Jia. Evidence]
(5) Records state: Made into a sauce, it is very fragrant and delicious. Its efficacy surpasses that of Elm kernel, especially when aged. It can be eaten in small amounts; excessive consumption causes fever and heart pain due to its pungent flavor. Eating it in autumn is particularly suitable. Long-term consumption treats five types of hemorrhoids. (Prevents various diseases). [Vol. Jia. Evidence]
(6) Additionally, it kills harmful intestinal worms. [Vol. Evidence]
(1) Tea leaves (Ming Ye): Promote bowel movement, clear heat, and resolve phlegm. Boil to extract juice, which is good for making porridge. [Evidence]
(2) Additionally, tea directs Qi downward, dispels drowsiness, and digests retained food. Tea made on the same day is best. After steaming and pounding, leave it overnight. Using old tea induces wind and causes Qi rebellion. Some merchants mix in young buds and leaves of Locust or Willow trees. [Evidence]
(1) Larger grains primarily treat rebellious Qi cough and chronic wind-damp bi syndrome. [Evidence]
(2) Additionally, for toothache, decoct with vinegar and hold in the mouth. [Jia. Evidence]
(3) Additionally, for traumatic wounds complicated by wind-stroke, wrap in dough to make wontons, roast them in ashes until cooked, break open, and apply to the wound. Replace with warm ones when they cool down, repeating three to five times. This also treats traumatic tetanus (Gong Feng). [Jia. Evidence]
(4) Additionally, to treat chronic mouth ulcers, specifically closed-type ulcers: wash with water, mix with flour, boil into porridge, and swallow three to five spoons on an empty stomach, followed by rice to suppress the effect. (Severe cases may take another dose), until healed. [Jia. Evidence]
(5) Additionally, Pepper: Warm in nature, Pungent in flavor, slightly toxic. Treats abdominal pain due to wind-cold and cold-bi syndrome. Warms the middle jiao, relieves toothache, strengthens teeth and hair, brightens eyes, stops vomiting, reduces scars, promotes hair growth, induces sweating, directs Qi downward, calms the spirit, anti-aging, nourishes blood, and benefits the five zang organs. Treats postpartum disorders and promotes lactation. Long-term use causes shortness of breath. Do not eat in the tenth lunar month; strictly avoid "closed-mouth" varieties (referring to specific types or conditions); those with fine, black seeds are [Shu Pepper]. Qin Pepper is white. [Jia. Evidence]
(6) Clears exogenous heat; do not consume long-term as it dulls mental agility. [Xin]
