本条记载见于南阳郡郦县北面的潭水，其水源都带有芳香之气。菊花生长在崖岸上，水流因此带有菊花的味道，这种说法非常奇怪。况且菊花生长在浮土之上，根深的不过一尺，在百花之中，它的根系特别浅显暴露。而泉水大多来自深远之处，何况菊根也没有香气，菊花的花期仅在九月、十月之间，只有短短三旬左右的时间，怎么能让香气进入水中呢？如果是因为花朵才产生香味，那么没有花朵的月份又该如何解释呢？这实在是不详细。水自然有甘、淡、咸、苦不同的味道，怎么知道其中没有带有菊花味道的呢？我曾经在永州、耀州之间做官，沿着干涸的地方走到洪门北山下的古石渠中，泉水清澈见底。众官员舀起泉水饮用。那味道与惠山泉水相等，也带有微弱的香气。世人都不知道这一点，用它来烹茶尤其适宜。由此可知，泉脉的水质如此，并不是因为生长在浮土上的菊花能改变泉水的味道。博识的人，应该仔细详察此事。
浆水（发酵米汤）不可与李子的果实一起食用，会导致人发生霍乱，出现呕吐和腹泻的症状。
（蓬砂/硼砂）能辅助阳气，通行经络。患有风冷气痹症的人，多用热水浸泡双脚直至膝盖以上，覆盖严实，使全身出汗。然而另有药物，也终究借助于热水的气化作用来运行药力。四季突发泄泻，四肢冰冷，脐腹部疼痛，坐在深热水中，浸泡至腹部以上，频繁进行，可以辅助生阳的药物，没有比这更快的了。体质虚寒的人刚坐进热水中必定会颤抖，仍常让人在旁边守候照看。
金银如果有伪劣的，投入熔炉锅中，那些伪劣物质就会完全消散。何况人的腹中有久积的瘀滞，所以（此物）能够溃散腐结。配合其他药物，治疗眼中翳障，使用时必须经过水飞法处理，放入瓷器中，在隔水炖煮的器具中加热，使其自行干燥，以消除其毒性，并去除其中的尘垢杂质。
含服化咽津液，治疗咽喉肿痛，膈上痰热。刚开始感觉不适就进行治疗，不能形成喉痹，也能缓慢取得疗效。产自南番的，颜色深褐，味道平和，见效迅速。产自西戎的，颜色白，味道焦苦，功效缓慢，也不堪作为焊接材料使用。
This entry is recorded in the Tan Spring water north of Li County, Nanyang Commandery, where the source of the water is entirely fragrant. Chrysanthemums grow on the cliffs, and the water takes on the taste of chrysanthemum; this claim is very strange. Moreover, chrysanthemums grow on floating soil, with roots no deeper than a chi (approx. 33 cm). Among all flowers, their root system is particularly shallow and exposed. In contrast, spring water usually comes from deep sources. Furthermore, chrysanthemum roots have no fragrance, and the flowering period is only between the ninth and tenth lunar months, lasting merely three weeks. How could the fragrance enter the water? If it were due to the flowers, how should we explain the months when there are no flowers? This is not detailed at all. Water naturally has sweet, bland, salty, and bitter tastes; how do we know that some waters do not have a chrysanthemum taste? I once served as an official between Yongzhou and Yaozhou. Following a dry path to the ancient stone canal at the foot of Beishan in Hongmen, I found the spring water clear and transparent. The officials scooped and drank it. Its taste was equal to that of Huishan spring water, also possessing a faint fragrance. People of the world generally did not know this; it is especially suitable for brewing tea. From this, we can know that the quality of spring water is such, and it is not because the chrysanthemums growing on floating soil can change the taste of the spring water. Learned scholars should examine this matter carefully.
Jiangshui (fermented grain liquid) should not be consumed together with plums, as this will cause people to suffer from cholera-like symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhea.
It assists Yang Qi and promotes the circulation of meridians. For those suffering from wind-cold qi bi syndrome, hot water is often used to soak the feet up to the knees, covered thickly, to induce sweating throughout the body. However, even with other medicines, they ultimately rely on the thermal energy of the hot water to facilitate their action. In cases of sudden diarrhea in any season, accompanied by cold limbs and pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, sitting in deep hot water, immersed up to the abdomen, performed frequently, can assist yang-nourishing medicines; there is nothing faster than this. People with deficiency-cold constitutions will inevitably shiver when first sitting in the hot water, so it is customary to have someone watch over them.
If gold or silver is counterfeit, when thrown into a melting furnace, the fake substances will completely dissipate. Similarly, since the human abdomen contains long-standing accumulations, this substance can disperse and resolve stagnation. When combined with other herbs to treat eye nebulae (cataracts/opacities), it must be processed using the water-trituration method (Shuifei), placed in a porcelain vessel, and heated in a double-boiler setup until self-dried, to reduce its toxicity and remove dust and impurities.
Hold in the mouth to dissolve and swallow the saliva to treat soreness and swelling of the throat, and phlegm-heat above the diaphragm. If treated at the first sign of discomfort, it prevents the formation of throat obstruction (Houbi) and can slowly achieve therapeutic effects. Those from Southern Fan have a dark brown color, a mild taste, and rapid efficacy. Those from Western Rong are white in color, have a scorched/bitter taste, act slowly, and are unsuitable for use as soldering material.
