【安息香】
味辛、苦,性平,无毒。燃烧时能通达神明,驱除一切邪祟鬼魅。燃烧后聚集老鼠者为真品。
产于西戎地区。形状像松脂,但兼有黑色,结成块状。有人说产自南海、波斯国。是树木中的树脂,形状像桃胶,在秋季采集。颜色黑黄,叶子有四角,经历严寒也不凋谢。开黄色花,不结果实。刻破树皮,其胶质可达诸窍,通利神明。可祛除鬼恶之气、蛊虫及一切邪气。
【苏合香】
产于苏合国,因此得名。又说产自中台川谷。现在从西域及昆仑山来的,呈紫赤色,与紫檀相似,极芳香,质地重如石头,燃烧后灰烬为白色的是优质品。现在广州也有,但类似苏木,没有香气。又说是大秦国人采得苏合香,先煎煮其汁液制成膏,然后卖掉剩下的渣滓给各国,所以来到中国的苏合香,香气就不那么浓烈了。民间传说苏合香是狮子屎,这是错误的。其膏状物名为苏合油。
苏合香丸配方:苏合油(一两)、安息香(二两)、白术、香附子、青木香、白檀香、沉香、丁香、荜茇、诃子、麝香、朱砂、犀角(各二两)、冰片、乳香(各二两)。
用香膏加上炼蜜制成丸剂。治疗传尸骨蒸劳热、疰忤鬼气、突然心痛、暴发性痢疾霍乱、瘀血导致的月经闭止、癖积疔肿、惊痫等病。(列为诸方第一。)
【片脑(即冰片)】
又名梅片、龙脑香。
味辛、苦,无毒。能聪耳明目,镇心安神,固摄精关;通利诸窍,催生,散瘀祛邪。祛除目赤肿痛和浮翳,治疗内外障眼病。治疗三虫五痔,骨痛肠脱肛。解除喉痹并停止头痛,消除鼻息肉并治疗牙痛。治疗伤寒导致舌头伸出最为有效,治疗小儿痘疹内陷也有效。
产于婆律国。树形像杉木。现在只有南海的外国商船贩卖。南海山中也有生长。树木高七八丈,粗六七围,叶子圆形背面白色,结的果实像豆蔻,树皮有鳞片状裂纹,香气即来自树木中的树脂。现在很多人用樟脑冒充,不可不知。
目生浮翳,用真龙脑每日点眼三五次。(验方第一。)
舌头伸出超过一寸,将梅片研成粉末,撒敷患处。(第二。)
[Anxi Xiang / Benzoin]
Pungent, bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic. When burned, it facilitates communication with the divine spirit and repels all evil influences and malevolent spirits. The genuine product is identified by mice gathering around it when burned.
Originates from the Western Regions (Xirong). It resembles pine resin but has a blackish hue and forms in lumps. Some say it is produced in the South Sea or Persia. It is tree resin, resembling peach gum, harvested in autumn. Its color is blackish-yellow; the leaves have four angles and do not wither even after enduring cold. It bears yellow flowers and does not produce fruit. When the bark is incised, its gum penetrates various orifices and illuminates the mind-spirit. It dispels ghostly evils, gu parasites, and all pathogenic factors.
[Suhe Xiang / Storax]
Originates from the State of Suhe, hence its name. It is also said to come from Zhongtai River valleys. Those currently arriving from the Western Regions and Kunlun are purple-red, resembling rosewood, extremely fragrant, and heavy as stone. Those that turn white ash when burned are considered superior. It is also found in Guangzhou today, but resembles su wood (sappanwood) and lacks fragrance. Another account states that people from Daqin (Rome) collected Suhe Xiang, first boiling down the juice to make a paste, and then selling the dregs to other countries; thus, what arrives in China is not very fragrant. Folk legends claim Suhe Xiang is lion excrement, which is erroneous. Its paste form is called Suhe Oil.

[Pian Nao / Borneol]
Also known as Meipian (Plum Borneol) and Longnao Xiang (Dragon Brain Fragrance).
Pungent, bitter, non-toxic. Enhances hearing and vision, calms the heart and secures essence; opens orifices, assists delivery, dissipates stasis, and expels pathogens. Clears redness and floating nebulae from the eyes, treating internal and external eye obstructions. Treats three worms and five types of hemorrhoids, bone pain, and intestinal prolapse. Relieves throat obstruction (houbi) and stops headache, eliminates nasal polyps, and treats toothache. It is most effective for tongue protrusion due to cold damage (shanghan) and is also effective for infantile smallpox involution.
Originates from Polv State. The tree resembles cedar. Currently, only foreign merchants on ships from the South Sea trade it. It also grows in the mountains of the South Sea. The tree is 7-8 zhang high and 6-7 chi in circumference. Leaves are round with white undersides; fruits resemble cardamom. Bark has scaly cracks; the fragrance comes from the tree's resin. Many people now use camphor to adulterate it, which must be noted.
For floating nebulae on the eyes, apply true Longnao 3-5 times daily. (Verified Formula First.)
For tongue protruding over one cun, powder Meipian and sprinkle it on the lesion. (Second.)
