橄榄，味酸、甘，气温，无毒。入肺、胃、脾三经。生津开胃，消酒，解鱼毒，化鱼鲠，

备急之需，药笼中不可不备者也。连肉敲碎核，煎汤用之。煨灰，香油调敷，外伤无痕。
或问梦中有神告曰∶橄榄能治哮病。可信乎？不可信乎？曰∶余亦梦内父鄂仍张公告予
曰∶橄
榄治哮病最有效，但用新鲜者捣汁，饮半瓯，其哮立定，干者不能取汁，煎汤饮之，则无益
矣。余试之神效，后一人患哮症，无生橄榄，取干者煎汤服，果无功，亦一奇也。因附载之

白果，味甘、少涩，气微寒。入心经，通任、督之脉，至于唇口。有毒，多食至千者死。
治
白浊，清心，性不能乌须发，然乌须发必须用之，引乌黑之汁至于唇口之间以变白也。此从
来《本经》之所未言。
白果不可多用，然小儿又最宜食之。盖小儿过餐水果，必伤任督之脉，五日内，与十枚
熟食
，永无饱伤之苦，并不生口疳之病。
或疑白果有损无益，先生谓能补任督之脉，此从前注《本草》者并未言及，何说之创乎？
嗟
乎。神农尝百草，安能尽尝，则注《本草》者，何能尽注，所望于后人之阐发者实多。况白
果补任督，又铎闻之于纯阳吕祖之教，以治舍弟选之之子丙郎，而亲效者乎。盖丙郎多食水
果，脾胃两困，越中儿科治之不效。适吕祖鸾降，训铎用六君子汤加白果十枚治之，不旬日
全愈。请问用白果之故。吕祖曰∶丙郎乃伤任督脉也，非白果不效，故用之耳。志之以见铎
之立论，非无本之学也。
或谓白果小儿最不宜食，有食之口吐清水而死者。曰∶凡物不宜多服，安能独咎于白果，
白
果，少用则益于任督，多用则损于包络。口吐清水者，过清其心也。包络为心之相臣，包络
损而心亦损矣。然必心气原虚，而又食白果至数百枚者，始有此祸，非食数十枚，便致如此
也。
或疑白果清心，多食则过于清心矣，安得而不伤乎？然而心不畏清也，仍是过清包络耳。
倘
包络火旺者，食数百枚，正复相宜。唯包络素虚寒者，实宜戒耳。
白果，方中所用极少，唯治哮喘方有用白果者，取其能涤胃中饮食之积也。
橄榄，味道酸、甘，药性温，无毒。归入肺、胃、脾三经。能生津液、开胃气，消除酒醉，解除鱼毒，化解鱼刺卡喉，也是急救时的必需品，是药箱中不可不储备的药物。将连肉带核敲碎，煎汤服用。煅烧成灰，用香油调和敷于患处，外伤不留疤痕。
有人问：梦中神灵告知说：橄榄能治疗哮喘病。这可信吗？还是不可信呢？我说：我也曾在梦中，已故岳父鄂仍张公告诉我：橄榄治疗哮喘病最有效，但必须用新鲜的橄榄捣取汁液，饮用半杯（瓯），哮喘立刻就能平息；干燥的橄榄不能取汁，若煎汤饮用，则没有益处。我尝试过，效果神奇灵验。后来有一人患哮喘症，没有新鲜橄榄，便取干橄榄煎汤服用，果然没有功效，这也算是一桩奇事。因此附载于此。
白果，味道甘、略带涩，药性微寒。归入心经，通达任脉、督脉，至于唇口部位。有毒，多吃至一千颗会致死。治疗白浊（尿道流出白色浑浊液体），清心火，其药性不能使头发变黑，然而要使头发变黑必须使用它，它是引导乌黑的汁液到达唇口之间从而改变白发颜色的。这是历来《神农本草经》中所没有记载的。
白果不可多用，然而小儿又是最适宜食用的。大概因为小儿过量食用水果，必然损伤任脉和督脉，在五日内，给予十枚熟制的白果食用，永远不会有因饱食而受伤的痛苦，也不会生出口疮（口疳）的病。
有人怀疑白果只有损害没有益处，先生却说它能补益任脉和督脉，这从前注释《本草》的人都没有提及，这是什么独创的说法呢？唉！神农品尝百草，怎么能全部尝遍，那么注释《本草》的人，怎么能全部注释完，所期望后人阐发发挥的地方实在很多。况且白果补益任脉、督脉，我又听自纯阳吕祖（吕洞宾）的教导，用来治疗我弟弟选之的儿子丙郎，并且亲自见效的呢。大概丙郎多吃水果，脾胃两困顿，浙江中路的儿科医生治疗无效。恰逢吕祖降乩（通过扶乩传达神意），训示我用六君子汤加白果十枚来治疗他，不到十天就完全痊愈了。请问使用白果的缘故。吕祖说：丙郎是伤了任脉和督脉，不是白果就没有疗效，所以用它罢了。记录下来以显示我的立论，不是没有根据的学问。
有人说白果小儿最不宜吃，有吃了之后口吐清水而死的。我说：凡是药物都不宜多服，怎么能单独责怪白果呢？白果，少用则有益于任脉和督脉，多用则损害心包络。口吐清水的，是因为过度清泻心火。心包络是心的辅佐大臣，心包络受损而心也随之受损。然而必须是心气原本虚弱，而又食用白果达到数百枚的，才会招致这种祸患，并不是吃了几十枚，就会造成这样的后果。
有人怀疑白果清心，多吃就会过于清心，怎么会不伤害身体呢？然而心脏并不畏惧清泻，仍然是过度清泻心包络罢了。倘若心包络火旺的人，食用数百枚，正合适。唯有素来心包络虚寒的人，确实应该戒除。
Olive (Canarium ovatum), with a sour and sweet taste, warm in nature, and non-toxic. It enters the Lung, Stomach, and Spleen meridians. It generates body fluids, opens the appetite, resolves alcohol intoxication, detoxifies fish, and dissolves fish bones stuck in the throat. It is also a necessity for emergency situations and an indispensable item in a medicine cabinet. Crush the fruit including the flesh and pit, and decoct it for oral administration. Calcine it to ash, mix with sesame oil, and apply topically; external injuries will heal without scarring.
Someone asked: "A spirit told me in a dream that olives can treat asthma. Is this credible or not?" I replied: "I too had a dream where my deceased father-in-law, Mr. E Rengzhang, told me: 'Olives are most effective in treating asthma, but one must use fresh ones, crush them to extract juice, and drink half a cup; the asthma will settle immediately. Dry olives cannot yield juice; if decocted and drunk, they are of no benefit.' I tested this and found it miraculously effective. Later, another person suffered from asthma but lacked fresh olives, so he took dry olives decocted in water, which indeed proved ineffective. This is also a curious incident. Therefore, I append this record."
Ginkgo nut (Bai Guo), with a sweet taste and slight astringency, slightly cold in nature. It enters the Heart meridian and unblocks the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Du Mai (Governing Vowel), reaching the lips and mouth. It is toxic; consuming up to a thousand nuts can cause death. It treats leukorrhea (white turbid discharge), clears Heart fire, and although its nature cannot darken hair, it is necessary for darkening hair because it guides the blackening fluid to the lips and mouth to transform white hair. This was never mentioned in the classic *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica).
Ginkgo nuts should not be used in large quantities, yet children are the most suitable consumers. Generally, if children overconsume fruits, they inevitably damage the Ren Mai and Du Mai. Within five days, giving ten cooked ginkgo nuts ensures they never suffer from overeating injuries nor develop aphthous stomatitis (mouth ulcers).
Some doubt that ginkgo nuts only harm and do not benefit, while you claim they tonify the Ren Mai and Du Mai. Previous commentators on *Materia Medica* did not mention this; what is the basis for such a novel theory? Alas! Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, how could he have tasted all of them? Thus, how could commentators on *Materia Medica* annotate everything? There is much hope for later generations to elucidate further. Moreover, regarding ginkgo nuts tonifying the Ren and Du Mai, I heard this teaching from Lü Zu (Lü Dongbin, the Pure Yang Patriarch), and applied it to treat my brother Xuanzhi’s son, Bing Lang, with personal success. Bing Lang had overconsumed fruits, leading to dysfunction of both the Spleen and Stomach. Pediatricians in Yuezhou failed to cure him. Suddenly, Lü Du descended via spirit writing, instructing me to use Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) plus ten ginkgo nuts to treat him. Within ten days, he fully recovered. When asked why ginkgo nuts were used, Lü Du said: "Bing Lang injured his Ren and Du Mai; without ginkgo nuts, there would be no effect, hence their use." I record this to show that my arguments are not baseless.
Others say ginkgo nuts are least suitable for children, citing cases where consumption led to vomiting clear fluid and death. I say: No substance should be taken in excess; why blame only ginkgo nuts? In small doses, ginkgo nuts benefit the Ren and Du Mai; in large doses, they damage the Pericardium (Bao Luo). Vomiting clear fluid results from excessive clearing of the Heart. The Pericardium is the minister of the Heart; if the Pericardium is damaged, the Heart is also damaged. However, this disaster occurs only when Heart Qi is originally deficient AND hundreds of ginkgo nuts are consumed. Eating dozens does not lead to such consequences.
One might suspect that since ginkgo nuts clear the Heart, excessive consumption would overly clear the Heart, causing harm. Yet, the Heart does not fear clearing; rather, it is the excessive clearing of the Pericardium. If one has hyperactive Fire in the Pericardium, consuming hundreds of nuts is actually appropriate. Only those with inherent deficiency-cold in the Pericardium should strictly avoid them.
Ginkgo nuts are rarely used in prescriptions, except in formulas treating asthma, where they are used for their ability to wash away food stagnation in the Stomach.
