【待处理原文】
茶，又名茗。
味甘、苦，性寒。归手厥阴心包经和足厥阴肝经。能降火气、消除痰浊，清除烦热、止住口渴。去除油腻感，使头脑清醒、双目明亮。解除酒毒和食物中毒。配合甘菊（Chrysanthemi Flos），治疗头痛。配合干姜（Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens），治疗霍乱。配合白矾（Alumen）研磨，用冷水送服，可解各种毒素。加入紫沙糖，可通利月经、缓解便秘。合用生姜（Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens），治疗赤白痢疾（伴有脓血及白色黏液的腹泻）。调和葱汁制成丸剂，治疗产后便秘。（如果此时使用大黄等泻下药，患者百无一活。）在房事中燃烧其烟熏蒸，可缓解痘疮引起的瘙痒。
嫩芽部分，味甘的质地优良。味苦的需浓煎后大量饮用以引发呕吐，治疗痰厥头痛（因痰浊阻滞导致的突然昏倒伴头痛）。虚寒体质、血虚者，以及酒后失眠者，均忌用。空腹时尤其禁忌。服用威灵仙（Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma）、土茯苓（Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma）的人，禁止饮茶。
怪症：脑中发出声响，状如虫蛀，名为“大白蚁”。用茶叶子研磨成末，吹入鼻中，直至痊愈为止。
（瓜果类七种）
甜瓜，味苦，性寒。归手太阴肺经和足阳明胃经。能清除烦热、止住口渴。通利三焦水道，促进小便排泄。
多吃会发病并引起腹胀。（若食用食盐花、饮酒水或服用麝香，即可化解毒性。）胃虚弱者忌食。沉入水中的瓜不要食用。有两个鼻孔、两个瓜蒂的瓜会致人死亡。
瓜蒂，又名瓜丁，又名苦丁香。
味苦，性寒，有毒。归足阳明胃经。能涌吐胸膈间的风热痰涎，清除周身湿热及蛊毒。配合麝香、雄黄粉末塞入鼻腔，治疗息肉。（另一方使用白矾粉末，另一方使用丁香粉末。）配合井华水（清晨第一次汲取的井水），治疗发狂欲奔跑的症状。配合香豉（Sojae Semen Praeparatum）、赤小豆，涌吐胸膈间的邪气。配合丁香，共同研磨成末吹入鼻中，治疗阴黄（面色晦暗发黄的黄疸）。（片刻后有黄色液体流出，隔日使用一次，病愈即止。）
俗称冷饭瓜。其瓜蒂效果尤佳。去掉瓜皮仅用瓜蒂，长度约半寸，晒至极干后研磨使用。凡是使用催吐法，必须选择天气晴朗的日子，在巳时到午时之前进行，要求病人前一晚不要进食，突发急病者不拘泥于此规定。如果催吐导致多人极度困倦，即用麝香泡汤饮用，即可停止反应。
上焦没有实邪者禁用。

Tea, also known as Ming.
Sweet and bitter in flavor, cold in nature. Enters the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. It descends fire, eliminates phlegm, relieves irritability, and quenches thirst. It removes greasiness, clears the head and eyes, and resolves alcohol and food poisoning. When combined with Ganju (Chrysanthemum Flower), it treats headache. When paired with Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), it treats cholera-like syndrome. When mixed with Baifan (Alum) and ground, taken with cold water, it resolves various toxins. Added to Zishatang (Brown Sugar), it unblocks menstruation and relieves constipation. Combined with Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), it treats bloody and white dysentery. Mixed with scallion juice and formed into pills, it treats postpartum constipation. (If laxatives such as Dahuang are used at this time, mortality is extremely high.) Burning its smoke for fumigation during sexual activity resolves itching caused by smallpox lesions.
The tender buds: those with a sweet taste are superior. Those with a bitter taste should be decocted strongly and drunk freely to induce vomiting, treating phlegm-Jue headache (sudden fainting accompanied by headache due to phlegm obstruction). Contraindicated for those with deficiency-cold constitution, blood deficiency, insomnia after drinking alcohol, and especially on an empty stomach. Those taking Weilingxian (Clematis Root and Rhizome) or Tufuling (Smilax Glabra Rhizome) must avoid drinking tea.
Strange Syndrome: A sound in the brain resembling insect burrowing, named "Big White Ant." Use Mengzi (Tea Seeds) ground into powder, insufflated into the nose until cured.
(Fruit Category, Seven Types)
Sweet Melon. Bitter in flavor, cold in nature. Enters the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. Relieves irritability and quenches thirst. Unblocks the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) and promotes urination.
Excessive consumption causes disease and abdominal distension. (Toxicity can be resolved by eating salt flower, drinking wine/water, or taking Muxiang/Musk.) Contraindicated for those with weak stomachs. Do not eat melons that sink in water. Do not eat melons with two nostrils and two peduncles, as they are fatal.
Peduncle (Gadīng), also known as Guading or Kudingxiang.
Bitter, cold, toxic. Enters the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. Induces vomiting of wind-heat phlegm-saliva in the chest and diaphragm, and clears damp-heat and gu-poison from the whole body. Mixed with Muxiang (Musk) and Xionghuang (Realgar) powder and insufflated into the nose, it treats nasal polyps. (Another formula uses Baifan powder; another uses Dingxiang powder.) Paired with Jinghua Water (first-drawn well water in the morning), it treats mania with a desire to run. Paired with Jiangchi (Prepared Soybean) and Chixiaodou (Adzuki Bean), it induces vomiting of pathogenic factors in the chest and diaphragm. Paired with Dingxiang (Clove), ground together into powder and insufflated into the nose, it treats Yin Jaundice (dark yellow jaundice). (Yellow fluid flows out after a short while; use once every other day until recovery.)
Commonly called Lengfangua (Cold Rice Melon). Its peduncle is particularly effective. Remove the rind and use only the peduncle, about half cun long, sun-dry until extremely dry, then grind for use. Whenever inducing vomiting, it must be done on clear days, before Si-Wu hours (9 AM - 1 PM). The patient should fast overnight; acute cases are exempt from this rule. If many patients become severely exhausted after vomiting, administer Muxiang decoction to stop the reaction.
Contraindicated for those without excess pathogens in the Upper Jiao.
