味苦，性寒，有毒。入肝经。去皮毛，锉，焙。
【马齿苋】味苦，性寒，有毒。归入肝经。使用时需去除根部的泥土和毛发，切碎，然后焙干。
杀虫解毒，化哽破症。产后崩淋，金疮鼻血。
具有杀虫解毒、化解噎膈（吞咽困难）、破除癥瘕积聚（腹部肿块）的功效。可用于治疗产后崩漏带下、刀伤出血及鼻衄（鼻出血）。
有毒而能解毒，去瘀而能生新，然古方中不恒用之，别名管仲，岂音相类耶，抑为其有杂霸之气耶？
虽然它有毒却能解毒，祛除瘀血而生新血，但在古代方剂中并不常使用。它的别名是“管仲”，难道是因为读音相似吗？还是因为它带有某种杂乱霸道的气性呢？
味酸，性寒，无毒。入心、大肠二经。
【人参】味酸，性寒，无毒。归入心经和大肠经。
清利湿热，解毒散血。内服治痢，又疗疮疖，禳解疫疠，通利关节。外敷消肿，疔痈流火，蜂螫剧疼，涂之缓和。
具有清除湿热、解毒散瘀的功效。内服可治疗痢疾，又能治疗疮疡疖肿，驱除瘟疫邪气，疏通关节。外用涂抹可消肿，治疗疔疮痈疽、丹毒（流火），以及被蜜蜂蜇咬后的剧烈疼痛，涂抹后疼痛可缓解。
唐宝经验方云∶“六月六日采马齿苋晒干，元旦煮熟，同盐醋食之，可解疫疠气。”迄今，长江下游，春节尚食用马齿点心，名之曰安乐菜。盖此菜可以清肠，可防节日伤食所致诸疾也。一切红肿热痛之症，以之挤汁外涂，均有良效。
唐代宝的经验方记载：“在农历六月初六采集马齿苋晒干，在正月初一煮熟，配合盐和醋食用，可以解除瘟疫邪气。”直到今天，长江下游地区在春节期间仍食用马齿苋制成的点心，称之为“安乐菜”。大概是因为这种蔬菜可以清理肠道，预防节日期间因饮食过量引起的各种疾病。对于一切红肿热痛的病症，将其榨汁外涂，都有良好的疗效。
味甘，性微温，无毒。入肺、脾二经。茯苓为使。恶藜芦。畏五灵脂。去芦用。
【人参】味甘，性微温，无毒。归入肺经和脾经。服用时以茯苓为引经药。忌与藜芦同用。畏惧五灵脂。使用时需去掉芦头（根茎部分）。
补气安神，除邪益智。疗心腹寒痛，除胸胁逆满。止消渴，破坚积。气壮而胃自开，气和而食自化。
具有补气安神、祛除邪气、增进智慧的功效。治疗心腹部的寒冷疼痛，消除胸胁部的气逆胀满。止住消渴病（糖尿病症状），破除坚硬的积滞。元气强壮则胃口自然开启，气机调和则食物自然消化。
人参得阳和之气，能回元气于垂亡。气足则神安，正旺则邪去。益智者，心气强，则善思而多智也。真气虚者，中寒而痛，胸满而逆，阳春一至，寒转为温，否转为泰矣。破积消食者，脾得干健之运耳。
人参禀受阳气温和的特性，能在元气即将衰竭时挽回生机。气充足则精神安宁，正气旺盛则邪气退去。所谓益智，是指心气强健，则善于思考且充满智慧。对于真气虚弱的人，会出现中焦寒冷而疼痛、胸部胀满且气逆上冲的症状，就像严冬过后，春天一到，寒冷转为温暖，困顿转为通达一样。至于破除积滞、帮助消化，是因为脾脏得到了干燥健运的功能。
人参，亦有不宜用者∶世之录其长者，遂忘其短，摘其瑕者，并弃其瑜。或当用而后时，或非宜而妄设。不蒙其利，只见其害，遂使良药见疑于世，粗工互腾其口，良可憾也。
人参也有不适合使用的情况：世人只记录它的长处，就忘记了它的短处；挑剔它瑕疵的人，连它的优点也一并抛弃。或者该用时却延误了时机，或者不该用时却胡乱使用。不仅没有享受到它的好处，反而只看到它的危害，这使得良药被世人怀疑，庸医们互相夸夸其谈，实在令人遗憾。
参须∶性专下行，宜于胃虚呕逆、咳血等。不宜于久痢、滑精、崩中、下血等。
人参的须根：药性专门向下行，适合用于胃虚引起的呕吐逆气、咳血等症状。不适合用于久痢、滑精、妇女崩中、便血等症状。
Bixiaxian (Portulaca oleracea): Bitter in taste, cold in nature, toxic. Enters the Liver Meridian. Remove soil and roots, chop, and roast. It kills parasites and detoxifies, resolves dysphagia, and breaks up masses. It is used for postpartum metrorrhagia and leukorrhea, traumatic bleeding, and epistaxis. Although toxic, it can detoxify; by removing blood stasis, it generates new blood. However, it is not frequently used in ancient prescriptions. Its alias is Guanzhong (Guanzhong). Is this due to phonetic similarity, or does it possess a chaotic and domineering qi?
Marenchi (Portulaca oleracea): Sour in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Heart and Large Intestine meridians. It clears damp-heat, detoxifies, and disperses blood stasis. Internally taken, it treats dysentery and sores/furuncles; it wards off epidemic pestilence and unblocks joints. Externally applied, it reduces swelling, treats carbuncles, erysipelas (flowing fire), and severe pain from bee stings, providing relief. The Tang Bao empirical formula states: "Harvest Portulaca oleracea on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, dry it, cook it thoroughly on New Year's Day, and eat it with salt and vinegar to resolve epidemic qi." To this day, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, people still consume Portulaca dim sum during the Spring Festival, called Anle Cai (Peaceful Vegetable). This vegetable clears the intestines and prevents diseases caused by overeating during festivals. For all conditions involving redness, swelling, heat, and pain, squeezing its juice for external application yields good results.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma): Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Lung and Spleen meridians. Poria cocos (Fuling) serves as the guiding herb. It is incompatible with Veratrum nigrum (Lilu) and fears Trogopterus dung (Wulingzhi). Use after removing the rhizome head (Lu). It tonifies qi, calms the spirit, expels evil, and enhances wisdom. It treats cold pain in the heart and abdomen, relieves chest and hypochondriac fullness and rebellion, stops polydipsia, and breaks hard accumulations. When qi is strong, the stomach opens naturally; when qi is harmonious, food digests easily. Renshen absorbs the mild yang qi and can restore vital qi on the verge of collapse. Sufficient qi ensures mental peace; robust righteous qi expels pathogenic factors. Enhancing wisdom means that strong heart qi leads to good thinking and intelligence. For those with deficient true qi, middle jiao cold causes pain, and chest fullness with rebellious qi occurs; just as spring arrives, cold turns to warmth, and stagnation turns to smoothness. Breaking accumulations and aiding digestion relies on the Spleen obtaining dry and vigorous transportation functions.
However, there are cases where Renshen is unsuitable: Those who record its merits forget its flaws; those who pick at its blemishes discard its virtues. Sometimes it is used too late when indicated, or improperly prescribed when contraindicated. Not benefiting from its advantages but only seeing its harms, good medicines become suspected by the world, and incompetent practitioners argue endlessly, which is regrettable.
Renshen Xu (Ginseng Rootlets): The nature specifically directs downward. Suitable for stomach deficiency with vomiting/rebellion and hemoptysis. Unsuitable for chronic dysentery, spermatorrhea, uterine bleeding, and lower body bleeding.
Renshen Ye (Ginseng Leaf): Generates fluids and can be used as tea.
