（引自宋代《开宝本草》）
【校正】从草部移至此处。
【释名】慈谋勒（出自《开宝本草》）、小茴香。
李时珍说：莳萝、慈谋勒，都是外语（指西域或波斯语等）的音译。
【集解】陈藏器说：莳萝生长在佛誓国，果实像马芹子，气味辛香。
苏颂按：《广州记》记载：生长在波斯国。马芹子的颜色黑且重，莳萝子的颜色褐且轻，以此作为区别。
它能很好地增添食物的味道，多吃也没有损害。而且不可与阿魏同食，因为会夺去阿魏的味道。
苏颂说：现在岭南及邻近地区都有生长。三月、四月生苗，花和果实大类蛇床子而簇生，气味辛香，六、七月采收果实。现在人多用来调和五味，没听说入药使用。
李时珍说：它的果实簇生，形状像蛇床子但较短，颜色微黑，气味辛臭，不如茴香好。
贾嘉谟说：俗称为莳萝椒。里面有黑色的种子，只是皮薄、颜色褐而不红罢了。
【子】
【气味】辛，温，无毒。
【主治】小儿气胀，霍乱呕吐逆气，腹部寒冷不能进食，两肋痞满（陈藏器）。健脾，开胃气，温肠，杀鱼、肉毒，补水脏，治肾气，壮筋骨（《日华子本草》）。
主治膈气，消食，滋食味（李 ）。
【附方】新收录二则。
闪挫腰痛：将莳萝研成末，用酒送服二钱匕。（出自《永类钤方》）。
牙齿疼痛：取舶上莳萝、芸苔子、白芥子各等分。研成末。口中含水，随左右鼻孔吸入药粉，神效。（出自《圣惠方》）
【附录】蜀胡烂（出自《拾遗》）
陈藏器说：子：味辛，平，无毒。主治冷气引起的心腹胀满，补肾，去除妇人血气病，治疗下痢，杀牙齿虫。生于安南，似茴香子，可以和食物一起食用。
数低（出自《拾遗》）
陈藏器说：子：味甘，温，无毒。主治冷风冷气，宿食不消引起的胀满。生于西番、北土，兼似茴香，胡人用它做羹汤食用。
池德勒（出自《拾遗》）
陈藏器说：根：辛，温，无毒。破冷气，消食。生于西国，是草根，胡人食用它。
马思吉
李时珍说：味苦，温，无毒。去除邪恶之气，温中利膈，顺气止痛，生津解渴，令人口香。元代饮食膳品中使用它，说是极佳的香料，不知道是什么样子？所以附录于此。
