Dried Persimmon is sweet, cold, and astringent; moistens the Lungs, calms cough, astringes the Intestines, and resolves old blood stasis. Shuang (Frost on Persimmon) generates fluids, transforms phlegm, and is especially suitable for clearing heat from the Upper Jiao (Lungs and Heart). Di (Persimmon Calyx) is bitter and warm; directs Qi downward and stops hiccups.
[Unknown Herb]
Sweet, cold with slight sourness. Cools the Heart, moistens the Lungs, promotes urination via the Large and Small Intestines, descends fire, eliminates phlegm, clears the throat, moistens dryness, and has the subtle effect of dispelling wind. Cooked consumption nourishes Yin.

Pungent, extremely hot. Enters the Lung, Spleen, and Mingmen channels. Induces sweating and disperses cold; warms the Stomach and dries dampness; aids digestion and removes distension; unifies the vessels and moves Qi in the limbs; tonifies Mingmen Fire; guides fire downward to return to its source; calms roundworms and kills parasitic worms. Closed-mouth pepper is toxic and fatal; Loess Earth (Huangtu) can detoxify it. Lightly stir-fry until sweat appears, remove the yellow shell, and use the red interior, also known as Jiao Hong (Pepper Red). For poisoning, use cool water mixed with Hemp Seed paste to detoxify. To treat closed-mouth pepper toxicity, drink decoction of Rougui (Cinnamon Bark), drink plenty of cold water, eat garlic, or drink Dizhangshui (Earth Slurry Water); any of these methods are effective. Jumù (Pepper Seeds) are bitter and pungent; specifically act on the water passages to eliminate ascites (water gu).
