【芎】味辛、苦，性温。以白芷为引经药，畏惧黄连，可抑制雌黄和蘼芜的毒性。丹后州出产的芎质量优于其他地方。
【某药（注：原文此处缺失药名，根据上下文及“畏黄连”等描述，疑似指代前文或特定药材，但依原文直译）】味苦，性平，味甘、辛。需去除尘土，洗净后使用。厌恶牡丹皮、贝母、巴豆，可抑制硫黄的毒性。
【某药（注：原文此处缺失药名，根据“市名 牛 本者乃真”推测可能涉及藁本类，但依原文直译）】味苦、辛，性微温。厌恶茹（注：疑为某种草药，原文残缺），畏惧青葙子。市场上名为“牛本”的是正品，其余都不是。
【某药（注：原文此处缺失药名，根据“当归为使”等描述，疑似川芎或其他活血药，但依原文直译）】味辛，性温。市面上将其切成寸段或片状，用锻石拌匀晒干收藏，使用时用水洗净。以当归为引经药，厌恶旋覆花、制黄（注：疑为制大黄或制何首乌，原文残缺）、硫黄。
【某药（注：原文此处缺失药名，根据“恶石斛、芒硝”等描述，疑似赤芍或白芍，但依原文直译）】味苦、酸，性寒。多生用，若避其寒性，可用酒炒；入血分药中用醋炒；血虚者用煨过的。必须以丸（注：疑为代赭石或雷丸，原文有注）为引经药，厌恶石斛、芒硝，畏惧硝石、鳖甲、小蓟，反藜芦。（注：“○须丸”即代赭石一名，别本作雷丸。）山地产的质量好，力量宏大；人家种植的味道虽香但药效不佳。其品种繁多，入药宜选用单瓣花的根，颜色随花朵分为赤、白两种，称为“土鸦结皮”。采掘者销往四方，其花叶像单瓣芍药但略有不同，即是草芍药。
【某药（注：原文此处缺失药名，根据“赤者利血，白者补人”推测为芍药类，但依原文直译）】味苦、辛，性微寒。红色的利于血分，白色的补益人体。用铜刀劈开去掉骨心，酒洗，微焙。畏惧贝母、大黄、菟丝子，忌食蒜、胡荽，可抑制砒霜的毒性。
【木香】味苦、辛，性温。形状像枯骨，味道苦且粘牙的为良。凡是进入理气药的，只生用；若想止泻，必须用面裹住煨熟后使用。李濒湖说，过去的人称之为青木香，后人因为把马兜铃根称为青木香，所以称此为南木香、广木香以区别之。据寇宗奭记载：曾经亲自从岷州出塞，得到青木香带回，西洛地区的叶子像牛蒡，只是狭长，茎高二三尺，花黄色……
【高良姜】味辛，性大温。炒用。
【缩砂仁】即高良姜子（注：此处原文可能有误，通常缩砂仁非高良姜子，但依原文直译），味苦、辛，性温。炒过后入药。药店里名叫“伊芳豆缩砂”，售卖的就是这个。
[Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong)] Pungent, bitter, warm in nature. Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) serves as the guiding herb. It is incompatible with Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and can neutralize the toxicity of Ci Huang (Realgar) and Mi Wu (Chuanxionghuang). The best quality comes from Danhou Zhou, surpassing other regions.
[Unnamed Herb] Bitter, neutral, sweet, pungent. Remove dust, use after cleaning. Incompatible with Mudan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus), and Ba Dou (Crotonis Fructus); can suppress the toxicity of Liu Huang (Sulfur).
[Unnamed Herb] Bitter, pungent, slightly warm. Dislikes Ru (herb name incomplete), fears Qing Xiang Zi (Celosiae Semen). Those named "Niu Ben" (Ligustici Wallichii Rhizoma et Radix) in the market are authentic; others are not.
[Unnamed Herb] Pungent, warm. Marketed as cut into inch-length segments or slices, mixed with Duan Shi (Calcined Oyster Shell), sun-dried, and stored. Wash with water before use. Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) serves as the guiding herb. Incompatible with Xuan Fu Hua (Inulae Flos), Zhi Huang (processed Huang [incomplete]), and Liu Huang (Sulfur).
[Unnamed Herb] Bitter, sour, cold. Mostly used raw. To avoid its cold nature, stir-fry with wine; for blood-invigorating formulas, stir-fry with vinegar; for blood deficiency, use roasted. Must use Wan (likely Dai Zhe Shi or Lei Wan) as the guiding herb. Incompatible with Shi Hu (Dendrobii Caulis) and Mang Xiao (Natrii Sulfas); fears Xiao Ji (Cirsii Herba), Ning Shi (Natrii Nitras), and Bie Jia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum); counteracts Li Lu (Veratri Rhizoma). Note: "O Xu Wan" refers to Dai Zhe Shi (Haematitum), while other versions say Lei Wan (Hymenophylli Spora). Wild-grown ones have strong efficacy; cultivated ones have large roots and fragrance but inferior medicinal value. Many varieties exist; for medicinal use, select roots from single-petaled flowers, colored red or white depending on the flower, called "Tu Ya Jie Pi". Harvesters sell them widely. Flowers and leaves resemble single-petaled Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra/Alba) but differ slightly; this is Cao Shao Yao (wild Peony).
[Unnamed Herb] Bitter, pungent, slightly cold. Red ones benefit blood; white ones tonify the person. Split with a copper knife, remove the core, wash with wine, and lightly roast. Fears Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), and Tu Si Zi (Cuscutae Semen). Avoid garlic and Hu Sui (Coriandri Fructus); can suppress Pi (Arsenic Trioxide).
[Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix)] Bitter, pungent, warm. Resembles dry bone; those that taste bitter and stick to teeth are superior. For qi-regulating formulas, use raw. To stop diarrhea, wrap in flour and roast thoroughly until cooked. Li Binhu stated: Ancients called it Qing Mu Xiang. Later, because Aristolochiae Radix was also called Qing Mu Xiang, this one was renamed Nan Mu Xiang or Guang Mu Xiang to distinguish it. According to Kou Zongshi: I personally traveled beyond the pass from Minzhou and brought back Qing Mu Xiang. In Xiluo, the leaves resemble Niu Bang (Arctii Fructus) but are narrower and longer; stems are two to three chi high; flowers are yellow...
[Gao Liang Jiang (Galangal Fruit)] Pungent, very warm. Use after stir-frying.
[Suo Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus)] Also known as Gao Liang Jiang Zi (note: text error likely, usually distinct herbs), bitter, pungent, warm. Use after stir-frying. Sold in markets as "Yi Fang Dou Suo Sha"; this is what is sold.
