味甘，性微温，无毒。入肺经。
肺寒咳嗽，传尸骨蒸。杀蛔虫寸白，除蝇虱蛲蚊。
与天门冬形相类，而用相仿，故名野天门冬，但天门冬治肺热，此治肺寒为别也。
脾胃虚人，须与补药同用，恐其伤胃气，又恐其滑肠也。
味甘，性寒，无毒。入肺、肾二经。地黄、贝母为使。
忌鲤鱼。去心用。
定喘定嗽，肺痿肺痈，是润燥之力也。益精益髓，消血消痰，非补阴之力欤。善杀三虫，
能
通二便。
甘寒养阴，肺肾虚热之要药也。
天门冬性寒而滑，若脾虚而泄泻、恶食者大非所宜。即有前证，亦勿轻投。
味辛、苦，性微寒，无毒。入心、肺二经。浓朴为使。
畏秦艽。反乌头。去心，糯米拌炒，米熟为度。
消痰润肺，涤热清心。喘咳红痰要矣。心中郁结神哉。
辛宜归肺，苦宜归心，大抵心清气降，肺赖以宁，且润而化痰，故多功于西方也。
汪机曰∶俗以半夏燥而有毒，代以贝母，不知贝母治肺金燥痰，半夏治脾土湿痰，
何可
代也。脾为湿土，故喜燥；肺为燥金，故喜润。若痰在脾经，误用贝母之润，投以所
恶，反
增病势，故寒痰、湿痰、风痰、食积痰、肾虚水泛为痰，均非川贝所司也。
味甘，性平，无毒。入肺经。甘草汤泡，去须，焙。
疗喉间喘呼欲绝，宽胸中气满难舒。
感秋之气，得土之味，清肺有神，喉中作水鸡声音，服之立愈。
白前，性无补益，肺实邪壅者宜之，否则忌也。
味甘，性微温，无毒。入肺经。
治疗肺寒引起的咳嗽，以及传尸骨蒸（一种慢性消耗性疾病，表现为骨节蒸热）。杀灭蛔虫、寸白虫（绦虫），去除蝇虱、蛲虫和蚊子。
与天门冬形态相似，功效也相近，所以被称为野天门冬，但天门冬用于治疗肺热，此药用于治疗肺寒，这是它们的区别。
脾胃虚弱的人，必须与补益药同用，担心它损伤胃气，又担心它导致滑肠（腹泻）。
味甘，性寒，无毒。入肺、肾二经。地黄、贝母作为引经药或辅助药。
忌食鲤鱼。使用时需去心。
平息喘息和咳嗽，治疗肺痿（肺部萎弱不用）和肺痈（肺部化脓性感染），这是其润燥的功效。填补精髓，消除瘀血和痰浊，难道不是其补阴的功效吗？善于杀灭三种寄生虫，能够通利大小便。
甘寒之性能滋养阴液，是治疗肺肾阴虚内热的关键药物。
天门冬性质寒凉且滑利，如果脾虚导致泄泻、厌恶饮食者，非常不适合使用。即使有上述症状，也不要轻易服用。
味辛、苦，性微寒，无毒。入心、肺二经。浓朴作为辅助药。
畏秦艽。反乌头。使用时需去心，用糯米拌炒，直到米熟为止。
消除痰浊，润肺，清除热邪，清心安神。是治疗气喘咳嗽、咳出红色痰液的良药。对于心中郁结之气，效果神奇。
辛味适宜归肺经，苦味适宜归心经，大体上使心气清降，肺气得以安宁，并且滋润而化痰，所以在西方（肺属金，位西）多有功绩。
汪机说：世俗之人因为半夏燥烈且有毒，用贝母代替，却不知道贝母治疗肺金燥痰，半夏治疗脾土湿痰，怎么可以互相替代呢？脾属湿土，所以喜欢燥；肺属燥金，所以喜欢润。如果痰在脾经，误用贝母的润性，投其所恶，反而增加病情，所以寒痰、湿痰、风痰、食积痰、肾虚水泛为痰，都不是川贝母所能主治的。
味甘，性平，无毒。入肺经。甘草需用汤浸泡，去须，焙干。
治疗喉间气喘呼叫欲绝，宽舒胸中气满难以舒展的症状。
感受秋季之气，得到土地的味道，清肺有神效，喉咙发出像水鸡一样的声音，服用后立刻痊愈。
白前，性质没有补益作用，适合肺实邪气壅滞者，否则应当禁忌。
Taste sweet, nature slightly warm, non-toxic. Enters the Lung Meridian.
Treats cough due to Lung cold, and *chuan shi gu zheng* (a chronic consumptive disease characterized by steaming bone sensation). Kills roundworms (*Ascaris lumbricoides*), tapeworms (*Taenia saginata*), removes flies, lice, pinworms, and mosquitoes.
Similar in appearance to *Tian Dong* (Radix Asparagi), and similar in usage, hence named "Wild Tian Dong". However, *Tian Dong* treats Lung heat, whereas this herb treats Lung cold; this is the distinction.
For individuals with Spleen and Stomach deficiency, it must be used together with tonifying herbs, lest it damage Stomach Qi, and lest it cause loose stools.
Taste sweet, nature cold, non-toxic. Enters the Lung and Kidney meridians. *Di Huang* (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata) and *Bei Mu* (Fritillariae Bulbus) serve as guides or auxiliaries.
Avoid carp. Use after removing the heart.
Calms wheezing and coughing; treats Lung atrophy (*Fei Wei*) and Lung abscess (*Fei Yong*); this is its power to moisten dryness. Replenishes essence and marrow, eliminates blood stasis and phlegm; is this not its power to nourish Yin? It excels at killing three types of parasites and can unblock both urination and defecation.
Sweet and cold nature nourishes Yin; it is a key herb for treating deficient heat of the Lung and Kidney.
*Tian Dong* is cold and slippery in nature. For those with Spleen deficiency accompanied by diarrhea and anorexia, it is highly unsuitable. Even if such symptoms are present, do not administer lightly.
Taste pungent and bitter, nature slightly cold, non-toxic. Enters the Heart and Lung meridians. *Hou Po* (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) serves as an auxiliary.
Averse to *Qin Jiao* (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix). Incompatible with *Wu Tou* (Aconiti Radix). Use after removing the heart; stir-fry with glutinous rice until the rice is cooked.
Eliminates phlegm, moistens the Lung, clears heat, and calms the Heart. It is essential for treating wheezing, coughing, and hemoptysis (coughing up red sputum). Regarding mental depression and stagnation, its effect is miraculous.
Pungency tends to enter the Lung, bitterness tends to enter the Heart. Generally, clearing the Heart and descending Qi allows the Lung to remain tranquil. Furthermore, it is moistening and resolves phlegm, thus achieving great merit in the West (Lung belongs to Metal, located in the West).
Wang Ji stated: "Common people replace *Ban Xia* (Pinelliae Rhizoma) with *Bei Mu* because *Ban Xia* is drying and toxic. They do not know that *Bei Mu* treats Dry Phlegm of Lung Metal, while *Ban Xia* treats Damp Phlegm of Spleen Earth. How can they be substituted? The Spleen is damp earth, thus it prefers dryness; the Lung is dry metal, thus it prefers moisture. If phlegm resides in the Spleen meridian, mistakenly using the moistening property of *Bei Mu* attacks what the Spleen dislikes,反而 increasing the disease severity. Therefore, Cold Phlegm, Damp Phlegm, Wind Phlegm, Food-Stagnation Phlegm, and Phlegm caused by Kidney deficiency with water overflowing are all not within the scope of treatment for Chuan Bei Mu."
Taste sweet, nature neutral, non-toxic. Enters the Lung Meridian. Soak *Gan Cao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) in decoction, remove rootlets, and bake.
Treats severe wheezing and gasping with a sense of impending death, and relieves chest fullness and difficulty in breathing.
By absorbing the Qi of Autumn and the flavor of Earth, it has divine efficacy in clearing the Lung. For a rattling sound in the throat resembling a water chicken, administration leads to immediate recovery.
*Bai Qian* (Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma et Radix) has no tonifying properties. It is suitable for cases of Lung excess with pathogenic obstruction; otherwise, it should be contraindicated.
