藜芦禀受火与金的精气而生，因此味道苦、辛，性微寒，有毒。苦味具有涌吐的作用，所以能使邪气、痰热以及胸膈部位的疾病全部通过呕吐排出。苦味能泄热，所以主治肠癖（痢疾）、头疡疮搔（头部疮疡瘙痒）及恶疮，能杀灭各种虫毒。但是其味道极苦，入口即引起呕吐，所以不用于汤剂，只适用于中虫毒恶气、胸中有痰饮的患者，借此上涌宜吐的力量，获得一时的疗效，否则只会让人胸中闷乱、呕吐不止，严重损伤津液，务必戒慎。
藜芦反五参（人参、丹参、沙参、玄参、苦参）、细辛、芍药，只能制成散剂使用，不可煎煮成汤剂。它能涌吐上膈的风涎，治疗暗风痫病，主治头秃、疥疡，治疗肠癖泻痢，杀灭各种虫毒，去除死肌，治愈恶痈，喉痹不通，风痰上壅：也能医治马涂癣，并外敷治疗马刀烂疮。
莨菪子又名天仙子。有毒。主治风痫癫狂、湿痹拘急，帮助足部强健行走，调理牙齿蛀蚀，长期服用能轻身，行动敏捷如飞马，炒熟后有益，生用则泻人，《别说》中说：煮一二日仍能入土萌芽，使用者应当审慎。
又名千金子，又名拒冬实。味道辛，性温，有毒。辛温的性质，用来攻逐积聚胀满、痰饮等各种停滞，以毒攻毒，祛除蛊毒鬼疰等邪气，属于攻击克伐的药物。凡是元气虚弱、脾胃弱、大便不固的人禁用。应当去油后入药。
续随子，治疗一切宿滞积聚，外敷各种疥癣恶疮，逐水利通大小二肠，散气消除心腹胀痛，驱虫毒鬼疰，消癖瘕症，通月经。下痰饮不可过量服用，以防毒性伤人。
荜茇，消化宿食、下气，去除胃冷、温中，癖阴疝痛立即驱除，霍乱冷气一并消除，禁止水泄虚痢，止呕逆醋心。得到姜、诃、参、桂制成丸剂，治疗脏腑虚冷、肠鸣泻痢神效。长期服用会损目，走泄真阳。
Lilu (Veratrum nigrum Rhizome) is born from the qi of Fire and Metal; therefore, its taste is bitter and acrid, its nature is slightly cold, and it is toxic. The bitter taste acts as an emetic, thus expelling pathogenic factors, phlegm-heat, and diseases in the chest and diaphragm regions through vomiting. Bitterness can drain heat, so it primarily treats intestinal dysentery (Changpi), scalp ulcers with itching (Touyangchuang Sao), and malignant sores, killing various insect poisons. However, its taste is extremely bitter, causing immediate vomiting upon entering the mouth; therefore, it is not used in decoctions. It is only suitable for patients who have ingested insect poisons or evil qi, or who have phlegm-fluid retention in the chest, utilizing its upward-emetic force to achieve temporary efficacy. Otherwise, it will merely cause chest oppression and confusion, incessant vomiting, and severely damage body fluids; caution is required.
Lilu is incompatible with Wushen (Five Ginsengs: Renshen, Danshen, Shashen, Xuanshen, Kushen), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), and Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix). It should only be used in powder form and must not be decocted. It induces vomiting of wind-phlegm in the upper diaphragm, treats hidden wind epilepsy, primarily addresses alopecia, scabies, and ulcers, treats intestinal dysentery, kills various insect poisons, removes dead flesh, cures malignant carbuncles, relieves throat obstruction (Houbi) due to blockage, and wind-phlegm surging upward: it can also treat horse涂抹 tinea (Matuxuan) and be applied externally to treat scrofulous ulcers (Madao Lanchuang).
Langdangzi (Hyoscyami Semen), also known as Tianxianzi, is toxic. It primarily treats wind epilepsy, mania, damp-bi with stiffness and spasm, aids in strengthening the legs for walking, treats dental caries, and long-term use lightens the body, enabling speed comparable to flying horses. Roasted, it is beneficial; raw, it causes purging. "Bieshuo" states that even after boiling for one or two days, it can still sprout when planted in soil; users should exercise prudence.
Also known as Qianjinzi or Judongshi. Its taste is acrid, its nature is warm, and it is toxic. Its acrid-warm nature attacks accumulations, distension, fullness, and stagnations such as phlegm-fluid. It uses toxicity to combat toxicity, dispelling gu poison, ghostly infections, and other evils. It is a drug of attack and depletion. It is strictly contraindicated for those with deficient Yuanqi, weak Spleen and Stomach, or loose stools. The oil should be removed before medicinal use.
Xuisui Zi (Euphorbiae Lathyridis Fructus) treats all types of retained stagnation and accumulations, is applied externally to various scabies, tinea, and malignant sores, promotes urination and unblocks the Large and Small Intestines, disperses qi to relieve epigastric and abdominal pain, expels insect poisons and ghostly infections, resolves masses and fixed lumps (Pi Jia Zheng), and regulates menstruation. When used to descend phlegm-fluid, it must not be taken in excess to avoid toxicity harming the person.
Bibo (Long Pepper Fruit) digests retained food, directs qi downward, eliminates stomach cold, warms the middle, instantly drives away Pi Yin hernia pain, dispels cold qi in cholera, stops watery diarrhea and deficiency-type dysentery, and arrests vomiting and acid regurgitation. When combined with Jiang (Ginger), He (Chebulae Fructus), Shen (Ginseng), and Gui (Cinnamon Twig) to make pills, it is miraculously effective for treating visceral deficiency-cold, borborygmus, and dysentery. Long-term use damages the eyes and leaks True Yang.
