枸杞子
味甘、苦,气微寒。无毒。各地田边路旁都有生长,甘肃各州(均属于陕西)出产的尤其好。春天生出嫩苗,当作蔬菜食用爽口。秋天结出红色果实,入药对人有益。按时采收,晒干后选用。颜色紫红且味道甜的,颗粒小而膏润有力的;颜色赤暗且味道淡的,颗粒大而干枯无用的。现在市场上有些商家多用蜜拌来欺骗顾客,不可不仔细辨认。去掉干净的梗蒂,任意制成散剂或丸剂。能明耳目、安神志,耐寒暑、延寿命。添精固髓,健骨强筋。滋阴而不导致阳气衰败,兴阳常使阳气振奋。谚语说:“离家千里,勿服枸杞”,也是因为它能助阳的缘故。更能止消渴,尤其补劳伤。将叶子捣汁滴入眼中,能除风痒去眼膜。如果作茶饮用于喉内,也能解消渴、强阴。诸毒烦闷善于驱除,面毒发热立即消退。叶上的虫窠子收集晒干,可同干地黄一起做成丸剂。不厌酒送服,非常有益于房事。茎名为仙人杖,须要识别,能追逐皮肤骨节的风邪。热毒兼消,疮肿可散。地骨皮,性甚寒凉。就是此植物的根名,只取皮使用。经入少阴肾脏,并手少阳三焦。解传尸有汗,肌去五内邪热,利大小二便。强阴强筋,凉血凉骨。
(陈嘉谟)按:本草条目中,竹笋立死者,既名仙人杖。此枸杞苗茎,又名仙人杖。藏器《拾遗》篇内,一种菜类,亦名仙人杖。为何将此三物而同立一名?古今方书,治疗或有使用它的,但都只注其名而未细注其物的,应当考究精详,必须得证治相合,才不至于粗疏草率。
辛荑
味辛,气温。无毒。原产汉中川谷,如今到处都有。人家园庭,也常常种植。木高数丈,花开两番。腊月结苞似着毛小桃,春天开花于未叶秃树。北人呼为木笔,南人唤作迎春。花谢才生叶缀枝,叶盛复开花作朵。有红紫二种,多香气熏人。凡收采入药同煎,宜未开花紫苞蕊。刷去毛免射人肺,摘去心不致人烦。畏惟菖蒲蒲黄,黄连石膏四药。恶石脂,使芎 。 止头脑风疼,面肿引齿痛眩冒;除身体寒热,鼻塞有香臭不闻。生须发杀虫,禁清涕通窍。久服明目,下气轻身。
Goji Berry (Lycii Fructus)
Sweet and bitter in taste, slightly cold in nature. Non-toxic. Grows abundantly by fields and roadsides; those produced in various prefectures of Gansu Province (all belonging to Shaanxi historically) are particularly excellent. In spring, tender shoots emerge, which can be eaten as vegetables for a refreshing taste. In autumn, red fruits form, beneficial for medicinal use. Harvest at the proper time and sun-dry for selection. Those that are purple-red, sweet-tasting, small in size, and moist with pulp are potent; those that are dark red, bland in taste, large in size, and dry and withered are ineffective. Currently, some market vendors deceive customers by mixing them with honey, so careful identification is essential. Remove all stems and pedicels thoroughly, then prepare as powder or pills. It brightens the eyes and ears, calms the spirit, enhances resistance to cold and heat, and prolongs life. It replenishes essence and consolidates marrow, strengthens bones and tendons. It nourishes Yin without causing Yang deficiency, and promotes Yang function to maintain erection. The proverb says, "If traveling thousands of miles from home, do not consume Goji berries," precisely because it can assist Yang. It also stops thirst (Xiao Ke), especially benefiting fatigue and injury. Juice pressed from leaves applied to the eyes removes wind-induced itching and epiretinal membranes. If brewed as tea and consumed, it also resolves thirst and strengthens Yin. It effectively dispels distress and stuffiness caused by various toxins, and immediately clears facial toxicity and fever. Collect insect nests found on the leaves, sun-dry them, and combine with dried Rehmannia root (Shu Di Huang) to make pills. Swallowed with wine without aversion, it greatly benefits sexual function. The stem is known as "Immortal's Cane" (Xian Ren Zhang); this must be recognized, as it expels wind pathogens from skin and joints. It dissipates heat toxins and disperses carbuncles and swellings. Cortex Lycii (Di Gu Pi) has a very cold nature. It is derived from the root of this plant, using only the bark. It enters the Shaoyin Kidney meridian and the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian. It resolves sweating associated with consumption diseases (Chuan Shi), removes internal heat from the five viscera, and promotes urination and defecation. It strengthens Yin and tendons, cools blood and bones.
(Chen Jiamo) Commentary: In materia medica entries, bamboo shoots that cause immediate death upon ingestion are named "Immortal's Cane." The shoots and stems of Goji are also named "Immortal's Cane." In Zang Qi's *Supplement to Materia Medica* (*Shi Yi*), a certain vegetable is also named "Immortal's Cane." Why are these three distinct substances given the same name? Ancient and modern prescription books may have used them in treatments, but often recorded only the name without specifying the substance. One should investigate carefully and precisely, ensuring that diagnosis and treatment correspond, thereby avoiding negligence.
Xinyi (Magnolia Flower)
Pungent in taste, warm in nature. Non-toxic. Originally produced in the valleys of Hanzhong; now available everywhere. Often planted in household gardens. The tree grows several zhang high and blooms twice. In the twelfth lunar month, buds form resembling fuzzy small peaches; in spring, flowers bloom on leafless branches. People in the North call it "Wooden Brush" (Mu Bi), while people in the South call it "Welcome Spring" (Ying Chun). Leaves sprout after flowers fade, adorning branches; when leaves flourish, flowers bloom again in clusters. There are two varieties, red and purple, both emitting strong fragrance. For collection and medicinal decoction, select unopened purple buds. Brush off hairs to prevent irritation to the lungs; remove the pistil to avoid causing irritability. It is incompatible with Acorus tatarinowii Rhizome (Chang Pu), Polygonum catenatum Spore (Pu Huang), Coptis Chinensis Rhizome (Huang Lian), and Gypsum Fibrosum (Shi Gao). It is antagonistic to Kaolin (Shi Zhi) and compatible with Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome (Xiong Qiao). It stops wind-pain in the head and brain, facial swelling leading to toothache and dizziness; removes alternating chills and fever of the body, nasal congestion with loss of smell. It promotes hair growth, kills parasites, stops clear rhinorrhea, and opens orifices. Long-term use brightens the eyes, directs Qi downward, and lightens the body.
