〔李时珍之父李廷飞（大明）说〕使用苍术时，需用淘米水浸泡一夜，然后入药煎煮。〔寇宗奭说〕苍术气味辛烈，必须用淘米水浸泡清洗，再更换新的淘米水浸泡两天，然后炒制。
〔苏颂说〕凡是炮制苍术，先用火燎去根须，细切后，用酒浸泡一夜，蒸制，从巳时到申时，取出晒干备用。〔李时珍说〕现在的人只是将苍术切碎炒制，去掉毛须即可使用。
〔苏颂说〕凡是炮制白术，必须用枸杞子汤浸泡一夜，待其稍软后捞出，再用酒浸泡一个时辰（约两小时），捞出，与菊花一起熬至焦黄色，去掉菊花，用布擦拭干燥后使用。〔李时珍说〕现在的方法：只用酒浸泡一夜，切碎焙干入药。如果急需使用，只需用温水浸软，去掉……（原文此处有缺漏）。
〔苏颂说〕凡是炮制远志，必须去掉心，否则令人烦闷。仍需用甘草汤浸泡一夜，晒干或焙干后使用。

〔苏颂说〕采收后用清水洗净，刮去皮，在槐木砧板上用铜刀切成豆粒大小，用生稀布袋盛装，在黑豆水中浸泡一夜，取出后用酒拌湿蒸制，从巳时到亥时，取出晒干。不要接触铁器及牛乳，以免导致人脱发、胡须脱落。〔李时珍之父李廷飞（大明）补充说〕……
〔苏颂说〕凡是采收后，必须用蒲草层层隔开，放入甑中蒸两个时辰（约四小时），晒干后使用。不要接触铜器，服用后会噎住喉咙，损害视力。
〔苏颂说〕凡是炮制某药（注：根据上下文推测可能指某种需去头髭的药物，如天麻等，但原文未明示具体药名，仅描述方法），每斤用三两蜡溶化在水中拌匀蒸制，待水分蒸发干后，取出去掉头以及两边的胡须状物，细切后使用。
〔苏颂说〕凡是炮制某药（注：原文未明示具体药名，结合“肉毛”、“浆水”、“柳木火”等特征，通常指某些根茎类药材如知母等，但此处依原文直译），用布擦去肉质部分的毛，用浆水浸泡两个时辰，捞出，在柳木火上焙干后使用。〔李时珍说〕五脏六腑……（原文此处有缺漏）则用朴硝炒；以制约其……（原文此处有缺漏）。
〔苏颂说〕秦艽必须在根部纹理处辨认：左侧纹理排列成“秦”字者，可治病；右侧纹理排列成“艽”字者，即会导致香港脚（足癣/痛风）。凡是使用秦艽，用布擦去黄白色的毛，然后用还元汤浸泡一夜，日晒干燥后使用。〔李时珍说〕秦艽只要以左侧纹理者为良，将秦与艽分为……（原文此处有缺漏）。

[Su Song] Qinjiao must be identified by the texture at the base of the stem: if the left-side texture forms the character "Qin", it treats diseases; if the right-side texture forms the character "Jiu", it induces Hong Kong foot (podagra/tinea pedis). When using Qinjiao, wipe off the yellow-white hairs with cloth, then soak in Huanyuan Tang overnight, dry in the sun, and use.
