赤小豆：禀受秋季燥气而生，味甘、酸，兼有辛味，气平，无毒。甘酸之性具有收敛逆气的作用，辛平之性具有发散湿热之力，因此用于排脓消肿、治疗胀满湿痹、止渴止泻、健脾燥湿。其色赤，为心之谷，药性下行，入阴分，通利小肠，主治有形之积滞，能消痰散肿，即使疮疡溃烂将绝者，研末外敷亦无立竿见影之效。
赤小豆，药性下行，通利小肠，入阴分。治疗久积之形证，下泄水气，消散肿胀，止呕吐，陈治泻痢，解热毒。与桑白皮同煎，可治湿痹引起的四肢手足肿胀。与活鲤鱼同煮，可疗脾气不足所致脐腹突起高胀，能利小便去胀满，除消渴，下胞衣，通乳汁。但久服令人身体枯燥，肌肉消瘦而体重增加，因其专于健脾益胃，运行津液，消除水湿，降泄之力太过所致。
主治（痘疹合参）：善于利小便，散毒排脓，消渴止泻。凡小儿尚未出疮疹者可常食。若疮疹发作口渴，以此煎汤饮用亦可。
绿豆：禀受土中之阴气，故味甘，气寒，无毒。入足阳明经。以其甘寒之性，能解丹石药毒及一切热毒。用于治疗消渴烦热，浓稠肠胃，调和五脏，润皮肤除湿消肿，益气除热，风疹、痘痈皆可治疗，资助脾胃虚寒之症。滑泄者忌用。

护心散（一名内托散，又名乳香万全散）：凡患疽疾，在一日至十三日内，宜连续服用十余剂，方可避免变症，使毒瓦斯外出。服药稍迟，则毒瓦斯内攻，渐生呕吐。或鼻生疮菌不食，即危殆。四至五日也宜间隔服用。用真绿豆粉一两，乳香半两，灯芯草同研，和匀，以生甘草煎浓汤，调服一钱，时时呷饮。若毒瓦斯冲心，出现呕逆之症，极宜服用此方，盖因绿豆厌热下气，消肿解毒，乳香消诸痈肿毒，服至一两，则香气透彻疮孔，真是圣药。（一方加丹砂二钱五分。）杖疮疼痛，绿豆粉炒研，以鸡蛋清调和涂抹，效果奇妙。绿豆皮，尤善解热毒，退目翳。通神散，治疗斑痘后眼目生翳，用绿豆皮、甘菊花、谷精草等分，研为末，每次用一钱，以干柿饼一枚，粟米泔水一盏，同煮至干，食柿饼，每日三次，浅者五至七日，深者半月，效果显著。
Red Adzuki Bean: Born from the Qi of autumn dryness, it is sweet and sour in taste, with a hint of pungency, neutral in nature, and non-toxic. Its sweet and sour properties have the function of restraining rebellious Qi, while its pungent and neutral properties have the power to disperse damp-heat. Therefore, it is used to discharge pus, reduce swelling, treat distension and damp-bi, stop thirst and diarrhea, strengthen the spleen, and dry dampness. Its red color corresponds to the Heart; as a grain of the Heart, its nature moves downward, enters the Yin aspect, unblocks the Small Intestine, treats diseases with tangible accumulation, eliminates phlegm and disperses swelling. Even in cases where ulcers are nearly necrotic, applying it as powder externally yields immediate effect.
The Red Adzuki Bean has a downward-moving nature, unblocks the Small Intestine, and enters the Yin aspect. It treats chronic accumulations, drains water-Qi, dissipates swelling, stops vomiting, cures dysentery, and resolves heat-toxin. Decocted with *Morus Cortex* (Sangbaipi), it treats damp-bi causing swelling of the hands and feet. Boiled with live carp, it treats Spleen Qi deficiency manifesting as abdominal protrusion, promotes urination to remove distension, alleviates thirst, expels the placenta, and promotes lactation. However, long-term use causes dryness, emaciation, and increased body weight because it specializes in strengthening the Spleen and Stomach, moving fluids, eliminating water-dampness, and its descending action is too excessive.
Main Indications (Integration of Smallpox and Rashes): Excellent at promoting urination, dispersing toxin, discharging pus, relieving thirst, and stopping diarrhea. Children who have not yet developed rashes can consume it regularly. If rashes erupt with thirst, decocting this for drinking is also effective.
Green Mung Bean: Endowed with the Yin Qi of Earth, it is sweet in taste, cold in nature, and non-toxic. It enters the Foot Yangming Meridian. With its sweet-cold nature, it can resolve toxins from mineral drugs (Dan Shi) and all kinds of heat-toxins. It is used for polydipsia and vexatious heat, thickens the intestines and stomach, harmonizes the five Zang organs, moistens the skin, removes dampness, reduces swelling, benefits Qi, and clears heat. It is suitable for wind-rash, smallpox, and carbuncles, and supports deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Stomach. It is contraindicated for those with slippery diarrhea.
The Green Mung Bean is sweet and cold, circulating through the twelve meridians. Decoction resolves alcohol toxicity and relieves vexatious heat. Applied as powder to swollen and painful areas, it treats erysipelas and alleviates discomfort, benefits Qi and strength, moistens the skin, promotes urination, clears Stomach heat, thickens the intestines and stomach, nourishes spirit, and harmonizes the five Zang organs. Regular consumption has no restrictions; drinking the juice resolves polydipsia, and it resolves toxins of hundred medicines as well as all carbuncles, swellings, and smallpox toxins with miraculous effect. Used as pillow stuffing for night sleep, it brightens the eyes and disperses wind, and conversely can remove corneal opacity, attributed to its cold nature. The flavor and nature acquired by Mung Bean Powder are the same as the bean itself: sweet, cool, non-toxic, cooling various heats, benefiting Qi, resolving alcohol and food toxins. It treats back carbuncles and burns/scalds.
Heart-Protecting Powder (also known as Internal-Supporting Powder or Frankincense Perfect-Preserving Powder): For any carbuncle disease, within one to thirteen days, it is advisable to administer more than ten doses continuously to prevent complications and allow toxin-Qi to exit outward. If taken slightly late, toxin-Qi attacks inward, gradually causing vomiting. Or if nasal sores appear and appetite is lost, the condition becomes critical. Between four and five days, intermittent administration is also appropriate. Use one tael of genuine Mung Bean Powder, half a tael of Frankincense (*Ruxiang*), and rush pith (*Dengxin*), grind them together evenly. Mix with a strong decoction of raw Licorice Root (*Gancao*), take one qian, sipping frequently. If toxin-Qi rushes to the Heart, presenting with nausea and vomiting, this formula is highly recommended, as Mung Bean repels heat and directs Qi downward, reducing swelling and detoxifying; Frankincense dissipates various carbuncle toxins. When taken up to one tael, the fragrance penetrates the sore pores; truly a sacred medicine. (Another prescription adds two qian five fen of Cinnabar.) For pain from beating wounds, stir-fried and ground Mung Bean Powder mixed with egg white applied topically is excellent. Mung Bean Skin especially resolves heat-toxin and clears corneal opacity. Spirit-Unblocking Powder treats corneal opacity after variola/rash. Use equal parts of Mung Bean Skin, Chrysanthemum Flower (*Juhua*), and Eyebright (*Gujingcao*), grind into powder. Take one qian each time, boiled with one dried persimmon cake and one cup of millet wash until dry. Eat the persimmon, three times daily. Shallow cases resolve in five to seven days, deep cases in half a month, with great efficacy.
Main Indications (Integration of Smallpox and Rashes): Specifically resolves heat-toxin of smallpox pustules, internal vexatious heat and polydipsia from smallpox. Whenever smallpox heat-toxin is severe, especially in summer, or for children who have not yet developed smallpox/rashes, they can be boiled until soft and consumed without peeling the skin.
