【禁忌】其气味辛香，善于走窜，疮疽已经溃破者禁止服用，以及各种疮疡脓液较多时禁止外敷。
【功效】性味辛温，归心经，通行十二经脉，具有活血、舒筋、调和气血、治疗痢疾、托毒生肌、缓解各经络疼痛、解除各种疮毒的功效，还能护心，向外宣散毒气瓦斯，具有奇效。难产或刀斧外伤所致损伤，也能治疗癫狂，能够祛风散瘀。
【炮制】产自各国，形状圆大如乳头，透明者为佳。性质粘腻难以研磨，可将药钵置于沸水中加热，加入灯心草一同研磨则容易研细。如今松脂和枫脂中也有类似形态的，市井之人常以此冒充。
【禁忌】生金（未经提炼的金）能解毒，但性质恶毒且含有毒性。不经过冶炼直接服用会致人死亡，且难以解救。畏惧水银和锡。
【功效】性味辛平，入心、肝二经，能安定心神，避免神魂飘荡。能驱除邪恶鬼祟，搜剔脏腑中潜伏的病邪。金能克制木，所以能治疗惊痫、风热等病，肝胆的疾病都需要用到它。此外，催生时也使用它。银使用足纹银，功效也相似。制作丸散剂时用金银箔作为包衣。误吞金银，可食用炒熟并连根的韭菜，能包裹住金银随大便排出。元丝银含有硝石之毒，危害人体。
【炮制】凡是使用金银铜铁，只可在药铫中悬煎，借其气来增强药力而已，不可直接入药服用，否则会消减人的脂肪。入药用的金银需用箔片，或者使用簪环首饰。凡是用银箔，必须辨别是否为铜箔。
【禁忌】山豆根大苦大寒，是脾胃所厌恶的。饮食少且腹泻者，千万不要沾唇，体虚之人也要忌用。
【功效】苦寒之性能泻心火，以保护肺金，去除大肠的风热，解除咽喉肿痛、蛊毒，消除各种肿胀疮疡，治疗气喘、胸满、热咳，泻热解毒，治疗因热极引起的疾病。
【炮制】苗蔓像豆类植物，经冬不凋谢，八月采集根部曝晒干燥。
Xunlu Xiang (Boswellia Fructus, also known as Ru Xiang / Olibanum)
[Contraindications] Its pungent and aromatic nature is good at dispersing and penetrating. It should not be taken when carbuncles and sores have already ulcerated, nor should it be applied externally when there is abundant pus in various sores.
[Efficacy] Pungent and warm, entering the Heart Meridian, it circulates through the Twelve Meridians. It invigorates blood, relaxes sinews, harmonizes Qi, treats dysentery, promotes tissue regeneration by pushing out toxins, relieves pain in various meridians, resolves toxicity of various sores, protects the Heart, and externally disseminates toxic vapors. It possesses miraculous efficacy. It can also treat difficult labor and injuries from chopping or cutting, as well as mania, capable of dispelling wind and resolving stasis.
[Preparation] Sourced from various foreign regions, it is round and large like a nipple; those that are clear and transparent are of better quality. Its nature is sticky and difficult to grind. To facilitate grinding, place the mortar in hot water after boiling, and grind it together with Jiedixin (Cyperus rotundus rhizome, specifically the thin root-like stems used here for grinding aid). It becomes easy to grind into fine powder. Nowadays, similar forms exist in Songzhi (Pine Resin) and Fengzhi (Maple Resin), which market vendors may use to counterfeit it.
[Contraindications] Raw Jin (Gold) can resolve toxicity but is inherently malicious, toxic, and poisonous. If not refined and taken directly, it can cause death and is difficult to detoxify. It is incompatible with Shuiyin (Mercurium) and Xi (Stannum).
[Efficacy] Pungent and neutral, entering the Heart and Liver meridians, it calms the spirit (Lingtai), preventing the wandering of the soul and spirit. It repels evil influences and searches out latent pathogens in the viscera. Since Metal controls Wood, it can treat epilepsy, convulsions, wind-heat, and diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder, all of which require its use. It is also used to facilitate childbirth. Yin (Silver), specifically using pure silver strips, has similar efficacy. Silver foil is used as a coating for pills and powders. If gold or silver is accidentally swallowed, eating cooked leeks with their roots can wrap around the metal, allowing it to be excreted through the stool. Yuansi Yin (Raw silk-wound silver) contains nitro-toxicity and harms humans.
[Preparation] When using Gold, Silver, Copper, or Iron, they should only be suspended and decocted in a medicinal pot to borrow their qi to enhance the medicinal power; they should not be ingested directly as medicine, as they can consume human body fat. For medicinal use, Gold and Silver should be in foil form, or one may use hairpins, rings, and jewelry. When using Silver Foil, one must distinguish it from Copper Foil.
[Contraindications] Shandougen (Sophorae Tonkinensis Radix et Caulis) is extremely bitter and cold, which is disliked by the Spleen and Stomach. Those with poor appetite and diarrhea must absolutely avoid it, and constitutionally deficient persons should also abstain.
[Efficacy] Its bitter and cold nature clears Heart Fire, thereby protecting Lung Metal. It eliminates Wind-Heat in the Large Intestine, resolves sore throat and gu poison, reduces various swellings and sores, treats asthma, fullness, and hot coughs, clears heat, resolves toxicity, and treats diseases caused by extreme heat.
[Preparation] The vines resemble bean plants and do not wither in winter. The roots are harvested in the eighth lunar month and dried in the sun.
