Coix Seed (Yiyiren): Sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats tendon spasms and contractures, inability to flex or extend joints, wind-damp bi-syndrome (painful obstruction due to wind and dampness), and rebellious qi. It eliminates pathogenic factors from the sinews and bones causing numbness and insensitivity, promotes the free flow of the intestines and stomach, reduces edema, and stimulates appetite. Long-term consumption lightens the body and benefits qi. Its root: expels three types of parasites. Also known as Jielie, Wuyi, Qishi, and others. Grows in the flat marshes and fields of Zhending Commandery. Harvest the seeds in August; harvest the root at any time. (Zhending County belongs to Changshan Commandery. It is found everywhere along nearby roads, often growing near dwellings. The Coix seeds from Jiaozhi are the largest, locally called "Pearl." Ma Yuan collected large quantities to bring back, and slanderers claimed they were real pearls. Seeds that are heavy and layered are considered superior. For use, take the middle part. Currently, for children with ascariasis, boiling the root into a juice and mixing it with porridge is very fragrant and highly effective in expelling roundworms.) (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 6, Zhenghe Bencao p. 161)
Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi): Sweet and salty in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats strangury (difficulty and pain in urination), relieves pain, promotes diuresis and urination, and dispels wind-damp bi-syndrome. For men with internal injury, women with dribbling urine, loss of appetite, it nourishes the lungs, strengthens yin, benefits essence, facilitates conception, brightens the eyes, and treats redness and pain in the eyes. Long-term consumption lightens the body and delays aging. The leaves and roots: sweet in taste, cold in nature. They treat traumatic injuries from metal weapons, stop bleeding, treat epistaxis (nosebleed), blood stasis, abdominal masses (blood zhang), lower bleeding, dark/red urine, relieve irritability, descend qi, and eliminate small parasites. Also known as Dangdao, Xiama Yi (Toad's Clothing), Niuyi, and Shengxi. Grows in the flat marshes, hills, and roadsides of Zhending Commandery. Harvest on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is abundant near houses and roadsides. Crushing the leaves to extract juice and drinking it is very effective for treating seminal emission. The seed has a cold and purgative nature; the Immortal Canon also lists it as an ingested substance, claiming it makes the body light, enables leaping over banks and valleys, prevents aging, and grants longevity. The Han Shi Waizhuan states it is a tree resembling a plum tree, and eating its fruit benefits descendants; this is incorrect.
Cnidium Fruit (Shechuangzi): Bitter, pungent, and sweet in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats swelling and pain in the female vulva, male impotence with damp itching, dispels bi-qi (pathogenic qi causing obstruction), promotes joint mobility, treats epilepsy, and malignant sores. It warms the middle jiao, descends qi, warms the uterus in women, and enhances penile erection in men. Long-term consumption lightens the body, improves complexion, and facilitates conception. Also known as She Su, She Mi, Huichuang, Siyi, Shengdu, Zao Ji, and Qiangmi. Grows in the valleys and fields of Linzi. Harvest the fruits in May and dry them in the shade. (Avoid using with Peony Root, Croton Seed, and Fritillaria Bulb.) It is very common in nearby fields and villages. The flowers and leaves resemble Ligusticum wallichii (Miwu).
