补
属巽属木（故动风）。其肉甘温，补虚温中（日华曰∶黑雌鸡补产后虚劳。马益卿曰∶
妊妇宜食牡鸡，取阳精之全于天也。崔行功曰∶妇人产死，多是富贵扰攘，致产妇惊乱故耳。
屏人静产，更烂煮牡鸡汁作粳米粥与食，自然无恙。鸡汁性滑而濡，不食其肉，恐难化
也。
俗家每产后即食鸡啖卵，壮者幸无事，弱者因而致疾矣。龚云林曰∶四五年老母鸡，取
汤煮粥食，能固胎）。

【碱】
又名碱。具有泻下、磨化积滞、去除污垢的功效。
味辛苦，性涩，温。能消食磨积，去垢除痰。治疗反胃噎膈（吞咽困难，食物难下或吐出）。点痣、疣、赘生物（方法：与矿灰等量混合，取小麦秆灰，煎煮至干后研为粉末。挑破痣体，点上三点即可痊愈）。用于发面、洗衣。其制作方法是选取蓼蒿之类的植物，浸泡、晒干后烧成灰，用原水淋滤出汁液，每百斤汁液加入二三斤粉面，就能凝固得像石头一样坚硬。
【鸡】
属性属巽卦，属木（因此容易动风）。鸡肉味甘，性温，能补虚损、温中焦（日华子说：黑雌鸡可补产后虚劳。马益卿说：孕妇适宜吃公鸡，以摄取天地间完整的阳精。崔行功说：妇人生产死亡，多是因为富贵人家喧闹干扰，导致产妇惊恐混乱所致。应屏退旁人安静生产，再将公鸡汁烂煮成粳米粥给产妇食用，自然无恙。鸡汁性质滑润，如果不吃肉只喝汤，恐怕难以消化。世俗人家往往在产后立即吃鸡和鸡蛋，身体强壮者侥幸无事，体弱者反而因此致病。龚云林说：四五年老母鸡，取汤煮粥食用，能固护胎元）。
鸡冠位于人体清高之位，鸡血是精华聚集之处，雄鸡且颜色红赤的属于阳。因此用于治疗中恶惊忤（用热血漱口、涂抹面部、吹入鼻腔效果良好）；本乎天者亲上，因此可用于涂抹口眼歪斜。使用老鸡是因为取其阳气充足。鸡能吃各种虫子，因此能治疗蜈蚣、蚯蚓、蜘蛛咬伤中毒。
鸡蛋味甘，性平。能镇心安神，安五脏，益气补血，清咽开音，散热定惊，止咳止痢（醋煮食用，治疗赤白久痢），利产安胎（胞衣不下者，吞服卵黄二三枚，若被发刺卡喉，令其呕吐即可排出）。多吃令人气机阻滞闷胀。
雏鸡孵化后的蛋壳细研，用麻油调和，外搽治疗痘毒有神奇疗效。
鸡肫皮（一名鸡内金，一名鸡胗皮，音同“皮鸱”），味甘，性平，性涩。是鸡的脾脏。能消化水谷，清热除烦，通利小肠、膀胱。治疗泻痢频数，遗尿尿血，崩漏带下肠风，膈消反胃，小儿食积疟疾。男性患者用雌鸡肫皮，女性患者用雄鸡肫皮。
鸡矢醴（鸡屎酒）微寒，能下气消积，通利大、小便。《内经》用它治疗膨胀病（腊月收集雄鸡屎白储存。用醋调和，涂抹治疗蚯蚓、蜈蚣咬伤中毒；与米合炒，治疗米症）。
[Alkali]
Also known as alkali. It has the effects of purging, grinding away accumulations, and removing dirt.
Pungent, bitter, astringent, and warm in nature. It can digest food, grind away accumulations, remove dirt, and resolve phlegm. It treats regurgitation and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). For moles, warts, and skin tags: Mix equal parts with mineral ash, use ash from wheat straw, boil until dry, and grind into powder. Puncture the mole, apply three dots, and it will heal. It is used for leavening dough and washing clothes. The method of preparation involves selecting plants such as Polygonum arvense, soaking them, drying them in the sun, burning them to ash, and leaching the ash with original water. For every hundred jin of liquid, add two or three jin of flour powder, and it will solidify like stone.
[Chicken]
Belongs to the Xun trigram and the Wood element (therefore, it may stir up wind). The meat is sweet and warm; it tonifies deficiency and warms the middle jiao (Ri Hua said: Black female chickens tonify postpartum consumptive disease. Ma Yiqing said: Pregnant women should eat male chickens to obtain complete yang essence from heaven. Cui Xinggong said: Death during childbirth is often due to disturbances by wealthy families causing fright and confusion in the mother. One should dismiss people for quiet delivery, then cook male chicken juice thoroughly with japonica rice to make porridge for the mother, ensuring safety. Chicken juice is slippery and moistening; without eating the meat, digestion may be difficult. Secular families often consume chicken and eggs immediately after childbirth; strong individuals may escape harm, but weak ones may fall ill. Gong Yunlin said: Four-to-five-year-old old hens, cooked in soup and eaten as porridge, can secure the fetus).
The comb is located in a high and clear position; chicken blood is where essence gathers. Male chickens with red color belong to Yang. Therefore, it treats sudden evil and fright (using fresh hot blood to rinse the mouth, smear on the face, and blow into the nose is effective); since what belongs to heaven tends to move upward, it can be applied externally for facial paralysis (deviation of mouth and eyes). Old chickens are used because they possess sufficient yang qi. Chickens can eat various insects; therefore, they treat poisoning from centipede, earthworm, and spider bites.
Egg is sweet and neutral. It calms the heart and spirit, harmonizes the five zang organs, benefits qi and nourishes blood, clears the throat and restores voice, dissipates heat and settles fright, stops cough and diarrhea (boiled with vinegar to treat chronic bloody and white dysentery), facilitates childbirth and secures the fetus (for retained placenta, swallow two or three egg yolks; if hair splinters cause throat irritation, inducing vomiting will expel the placenta). Excessive consumption causes stagnation and fullness.
Chick hatching shell, finely ground and mixed with sesame oil, is highly effective when applied externally for toxic pox.
Gizzard lining (also known as Ji Nei Jin, or Ji Zhen Pi, pronounced "Pi Chi"), sweet, neutral, and astringent. It is the spleen of the chicken. It digests food and water, clears heat and relieves irritability, and unblocks the small intestine and bladder. It treats diarrhea and frequent urination, enuresis and hematuria, metrorrhagia and leukorrhea with intestinal wind, chest obstruction and regurgitation, and pediatric food-stagnation malaria. Males use the gizzard lining from female chickens; females use that from male chickens.
Ji Shi Li (Chicken Manure Wine) is slightly cold. It directs qi downward, resolves accumulations, and promotes urination and defecation. The *Neijing* uses it to treat abdominal distension (collect white part of male chicken manure in the twelfth lunar month. Mix with vinegar to apply for earthworm and centipede bites; stir-fry with rice to treat rice disorder).
