无毒的附子（此处指紫苏，非乌头属附子）：种植生长。
紫苏主要功效为降气、驱除中焦寒邪；其种子效果更佳（此观点由名医记录）。
【名称】桂荏。
【苗叶】《图经》记载：苏就是紫苏，植株高度二三尺，茎呈方形，叶片圆形，叶背呈紫色，气味非常芳香。夏季采集茎叶，秋季采集果实，均可入药使用。《尔雅》称苏为“桂荏”，大概是因其味辛且形状类似荏（一种香草），所以这样命名。然而苏有多种种类，有白苏、鱼苏、山鱼苏，这些都是荏类植物。白苏也是方茎圆叶，但不呈紫色，也非常香，果实也可入药。鱼苏类似茵陈，叶片大且有香气，吴地人用它来煮鱼，因此得名鱼苏。生长在山石间的鱼苏又被称为山鱼苏。（陶隐居说）叶背紫色且气味非常芳香的紫苏入药效果最佳；那些没有紫色、不香且类似荏的植物称为野苏，不堪入药。
【产地】《图经》记载：旧籍未注明出产州土，如今到处都有。（道地药材）以吴地产的为佳。

【治疗病症】（疗效）《图经》记载：茎叶通心经，益脾胃，煮饭食用效果尤佳。单用茎部并去掉节，能宣通风毒及鸡瘕（一种腹部结块病）。（《药性论》记载）种子可除上气、咳逆、冷气以及腰脚中的湿风结气，研成汁液煮粥食用效果好。（《日华子本草》记载）可除心腹胀满，止霍乱转筋，治一切冷气、脚气，通大小肠。○ 种子可调中益五脏，降气，止霍乱呕吐反胃，利大小便，破症结，消五膈，止咳，润心肺，消痰气。（孟诜记载）可除寒热。（《衍义》记载）种子可定肺气喘急。（补益）《图经》记载：常食种子可使人肥健、肤色白皙、身体香。（《日华子本草》记载）种子可补虚劳。
【配伍治疗】种子合橘皮服用能降气。○ 种子与高良姜、橘皮等分，蜜丸，空心服十丸，治一切宿冷之气及脚湿风。○ 种子一升，微炒后捣碎，装入生绢袋，放入三斗清酒中浸泡三夜，少量饮用，可祛风顺气利肠。○ 种子一升，熬熟捣末，合酒服用一方寸匕，每日两次，治梦遗失精。○ 紫苏不限多少，在大锅内水煎至干，去渣后熬膏，与炒熟捣碎的赤小豆末混合，制成梧桐子大小的丸剂，合酒送服三十至五十丸，治失血，常服可愈。○ 紫苏二两，捣碎，加水二升，研取汁液，用苏子汁煮粳米做成粥，加入葱、豉、椒、姜同食，治香港脚（脚气病）及风寒湿痹导致的四肢挛急、脚肿无法着地者。

Aconitum (Note: Here refers to Perilla, not Aconite from Aconitum species): Planting and growth.
Perilla (Zisu) primarily functions to direct Qi downward and dispel cold in the middle Jiao; its seeds are particularly effective (recorded by famous physicians).
[Name] Guiren.
[Seedlings/Leaves] The *Tujing* records: "Su" is Purple Perilla. The plant is two to three chi tall, with a square stem and round leaves. The underside of the leaves is purple, and the aroma is very strong. Stems and leaves are harvested in summer, and fruits/seeds in autumn; both can be used as medicine. The *Erya* calls Perilla "Guiren," likely because it tastes pungent and resembles Ren (a type of fragrant herb), hence the name. However, there are several varieties of Perilla, including White Perilla, Fish Perilla, and Mountain Fish Perilla, all belonging to the Ren category. White Perilla also has a square stem and round leaves but is not purple; it is also very fragrant, and its seeds can be used as medicine. Fish Perilla resembles Artemisia capillaris (Yinchen), with large leaves and a fragrance; people in Wu use it to cook fish, hence the name Fish Perilla. Fish Perilla growing among mountain rocks is also called Mountain Fish Perilla. (Tao Hongjing stated) Perilla with purple undersides and a very strong aroma is best for medicinal use; those without purple color, lacking fragrance, and resembling Ren are called Wild Perilla and are unsuitable for medicinal use.
[Origin] The *Tujing* records: Old texts do not specify the producing provinces or lands; now it is found everywhere. (Authentic/Daodi material) That from Wu region is superior.
[Seasons] (Growth) Seedlings emerge in spring. (Harvest) Stems and leaves are taken in summer; fruits/seeds in autumn.
[Processing] Sun-dried.
[Medicinal Parts] Stem, leaves, and seeds.
[Color] Purple.
[Taste] Pungent.
[Nature] Warm, with dispersing properties.
[Odor/Taste Characteristics] Strong odor, thin taste, belongs to Yang.
[Odor] Fragrant.
[Main Functions] Resolving the muscle layer and releasing the exterior, stimulating appetite and promoting digestion.
[Preparation] Remove roots, chop into pieces, and use.
[Therapeutic Indications] (Effects) The *Tujing* records: Stems and leaves enter the Heart Meridian, benefit the Spleen and Stomach, and are especially beneficial when cooked with rice. Using only the stems, removing the nodes, can ventilate and disperse wind-toxins and Ji Jia (abdominal masses associated with chicken consumption). (*Yaoxing Lun* records) Seeds can treat upper Qi rebellion, coughing and wheezing, cold Qi, and damp-wind stagnation in the waist and legs; grinding them into juice and cooking porridge is effective. (*Ri Hua Zi Bencao* records) Can relieve epigastric fullness, stop cholera-like vomiting and diarrhea with muscle cramps, treat all types of cold Qi and foot Qi (gout/beriberi), and unblock the Large and Small Intestines. ○ Seeds regulate the Middle Jiao, benefit the Five Zang organs, direct Qi downward, stop cholera-like vomiting and regurgitation, promote urination and defecation, break up accumulations (Zheng Jie), dissipate five diaphragm obstructions, stop cough, moisten the Lungs and Heart, and resolve phlegm Qi. (Meng Shen records) Can treat chills and fever. (*Yanyi* records) Seeds can calm asthma and急促 breathing in the Lungs. (Tonification) The *Tujing* records: Regular consumption of seeds makes one robust, fair-skinned, and fragrant. (*Ri Hua Zi Bencao* records) Seeds tonify deficiency and exhaustion.
[Combinations for Treatment] Seeds combined with Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) can direct Qi downward. ○ Seeds combined with equal parts of Galangal (Gaoliangjiang) and Tangerine Peel, made into honey pills, taken on an empty stomach (10 pills), treats all chronic cold Qi and damp-wind in the feet. ○ One sheng of seeds, lightly stir-fried and pounded, placed in a raw silk bag, soaked in three dou of clear wine for three nights; drink small amounts to dispel wind, smooth Qi, and benefit the intestines. ○ One sheng of seeds, roasted and pounded into powder, taken with wine (one cun bi per dose), twice daily, treats nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea. ○ Perilla, any amount, decocted in water in a large pot until dry, strained, and boiled down to a paste; mixed with roasted and pounded Adzuki Bean (Chixiaodou) powder, formed into pills the size of Sophora seeds (Wuzi); taken with wine (30-50 pills) treats blood loss; regular administration leads to recovery. ○ Two liang of Perilla, crushed, added to two sheng of water, extracted for juice; this Perilla seed juice is used to cook Jingmi (Japonica Rice) into porridge, eaten with Scallion, Fermented Soybean (Chidou), Pepper, and Ginger; treats Hongxiangjiao (foot qi/gout) and Bi syndrome caused by wind-cold-dampness, characterized by limb spasms, swollen feet unable to touch the ground.
[Contraindications] Drinking too much Perilla soup is of no benefit; those with Spleen-Stomach cold may experience loose stools/diarrhea.
[Detoxification] Antidote for crab toxicity.
