(1) Consumption of glutinous rice induces excessive sleepiness. It may trigger wind disorders and disturb the movement of Qi; therefore, it should not be consumed in large quantities. [Meng Shen]
(2) Additionally, for persistent vomiting following cholera-like disease (Huoluan), grind a bowl of glutinous rice with clear water and drink it to stop the vomiting immediately. [Meng Shen]
(1) Fermented soybean paste (Jiang) counteracts fire-toxin and neutralizes various medicinal herbs. It can induce "Wugu" (a type of pediatric malnutrition syndrome). [Chen Zangqi]
(2) Wheat paste: inferior to bean paste. [Chen Zangqi]
(3) Furthermore, Elm seed paste: also pungent and delicious, it kills various parasites, promotes urination and defecation, and resolves malignant Qi in the heart and abdomen. However, it should not be eaten in excess. [Chen Zangqi]
(4) Furthermore, *Prunus mume* kernel paste: its efficacy is stronger than that of Elm seed paste. Excessive consumption leads to hair loss. [Chen Zangqi]
(5) Paste made from roe deer, pheasant, rabbit, and snakehead fish (*Li Yu*) should not be consumed in large amounts because they are aged/cured pastes. [Chen Zangqi]
(1) Mainly treats gan sores (chronic ulcers associated with malnutrition) appearing on the body or face with yellow exudate: take the root, burn it into ash, mix with lard, and apply topically. [Meng Shen]
(2) Its nature is cold. If eaten hot, it causes heat oppression and severely disturbs wind pathogenesis. Individuals taking mineral pills (Danshi) may benefit by consuming it occasionally in one meal. [Li Xun · Meng Shen]
(3) In winter, juice from pickled okra (*Kui*). For those taking mineral pills whose condition flares up causing dry tongue and coughing, drink one cup after each meal and lie down for a short while. [Meng Shen]
(4) Okra seeds: swallowing one seed can help form the head of a boil/abscess. [Meng Shen]
(5) Treats swelling that has not yet come to a head. After three days, swallow 200 okra seeds; the abscess will open on the same day. [Chen Zangqi]
(6) During childbirth, boiling okra and consuming it in one meal is beneficial. If the mother feels exhausted and oppressed during labor, take one heaping measure of okra seeds, add two sheng of water, boil down to half a sheng, strain, and consume at once; delivery will occur shortly. [Meng Shen]
(Additionally, for difficult labor where the child has not yet been born, take one heaping measure of seeds, crush them, add two sheng of water, boil down to less than one sheng, ideally no more than half a sheng, strain, and consume at once. This will cause both urine and the fetus to be expelled. Be extremely careful and do not go to the toilet. In the past, someone did this and ended up standing while expelling the baby into the latrine.) [Chen Zangqi]
(7) Additionally, young leaves cut finely, decocted in water, and consumed as one cup can lubricate the small intestine. [Chen Zangqi]
(8) Leaves: Boiling and eating them during childbirth facilitates easier delivery. [Chen Zangqi]
(9) Roots: Consuming a meal of roots after recovering from an epidemic disease (Tianxing Bing) can lead to blindness. [Chen Zangqi]
(10) For swallowed coins that cannot be expelled, decoct the root, cool the liquid, freeze it, and drink it to expel the coin. [Chen Zangqi]
(11) Do not eat okra without garlic. Eating raw okra in any season hinders digestion and triggers old diseases. [Chen Zangqi]
(12) Additionally, eating raw okra after frost disturbs the five types of retained fluid retention (Liu Yin). Yellow okra is particularly contraindicated. [Chen Zangqi]
