（紫背浮萍在七月采摘，拣选干净后，用竹筛摊开晾晒，下面放置一盆水映照，这样容易晒干。）
（其根部具有催吐和泻下的作用。子实生用可滋润心肺，治疗黄疸病；炒用可治疗肺痿、吐血、肠风便血以及赤白痢疾、反胃呕吐。取汁液可制约雄汞的毒性。）
（切开后质地如棉絮般的品质优良。用酒清洗。与头发同用效果良好。忌恶麦冬。能伏制丹砂、雄黄、硫黄。）
（凡使用此药，须先用生黑豆、紫背天葵和海藻三味药一同蒸一个时辰，晒干后使用。近代人只是洗净咸味焙干使用，反而抑制了甘草的功效。）
（凡使用此药，首先要辨别雄雌，它们的形态不同。大泽兰的形状和叶子都是圆形的，根呈青黄色，能生血调气，与大合小泽兰截然不同。采得后，看叶上有斑纹、根须尖、茎方形。此药能破血通久积。凡是修整处理大小泽兰，必须细细切碎，用绢袋盛装，悬挂在房屋南边的角落上令其干燥。防己为其使药。）
（凡使用此药，先用破旧的甑和簟同煮以去除咸味，焙干后细锉使用。每修整一斤药，需用十个甑和簟。用昆布细锉，两味药各放一处，注入东流水，从巳时到亥时，水要随时添加，不要让它减少。）
（凡使用此药，不要用木条，因为木条已经发黄，腥臭，皮皱，上面有子足，子不堪用。凡使用防己，要选用心花纹理为黄色的，然后细锉。用车前草根相对同蒸半天后取出，去掉车前草根，细锉使用。另一种方法是用酒洗切。殷孽为其使药。忌恶细辛。）
（质地透明的品质优良。天麻十两，用蒺藜子一镒，用慢火熬至焦熟后，先安置天麻十两于瓶中，上面用火熬过的蒺藜子覆盖，内外都用三重纸密封并系紧，从巳时到未时。再取出蒺藜子重新熬炒，照前法将天麻放入瓶内，用炒过的蒺藜子在其中，依照前法覆盖。又隔一个时辰后取出。如此七遍，瓶盛出后用布擦拭上面的气汗，用刀劈开焙干，细锉单捣。另一种方法是面粉包裹煨透后切。）
( *Lemna minor* [Zi Bei Fu Ping, Purple-backed Duckweed] is harvested in the seventh month, picked clean, spread out on a bamboo sieve for drying, with a basin of water placed underneath to reflect light, which facilitates faster drying.)
(The root can induce vomiting and purging. The seed, used raw, moistens the Heart and Lungs and treats jaundice; when stir-fried, it treats pulmonary fibrosis (Fei Fei), hemoptysis, intestinal wind with bloody stool, dysentery with red and white discharge, regurgitation, and vomiting. Its juice can mitigate the toxicity of realgar-mercury compound (Xiong Hong).)
(Those that crumble like cotton upon cutting are of good quality. Wash with wine. Synergistic with hair. Antagonistic with Ophiopogon japonicus (Mai Men Dong). Can suppress Cinnabar (Dan Sha), Realgar (Xiong Huang), and Sulfur (Liu Huang).)
(Reduces swelling. Crushed and juiced to stop bleeding. Charred to retain its nature to stop bleeding.)
(When preparing this herb, first steam it together with three ingredients: raw soybeans (Sheng Wu Dou), purple-backed Tiankui (Zi Bei Tian Kui), and Kelp (Hai Zao) for one shichen (two hours), then dry in the sun before use. Modern practitioners merely wash away the salty taste and bake it dry, which inadvertently counteracts the effects of Licorice (Gan Cao).)
(When preparing this herb, one must first distinguish between male and female specimens, as their forms differ. *Lycopus lucidus* (Da Ze Lan, Large Bugleweed) has round leaves and stems, and yellowish-green roots; it generates blood and regulates Qi, being distinctly different from *Lycopus chinensis* (Xiao Ze Lan, Small Bugleweed). After harvesting, check for spots on the leaves, pointed rootlets, and square stems. This herb breaks blood stasis and resolves long-standing accumulations. When processing both large and small bugleweed, finely chop them, place them in a silk bag, and hang them in the southeast corner of the house to dry. *Stephania tetrandra* (Fang Ji, Fangfeng) acts as an assistant drug.)
(When preparing this herb, first boil it in an old steamer basket (Zeng Dian) to remove the salty taste, bake until dry, and finely chop. For every jin (approx. 500g) processed, use ten steamer baskets. Finely chop Kelp (Kun Bu). Place the two ingredients separately, pour in flowing water from the east, maintain from Si hour (9-11 AM) to Hai hour (9-11 PM), adding water as needed so it does not run low.)
(When preparing this herb, do not use woody stems, as they are yellowish, fishy-smelling, wrinkled, and have useless seeds. When using *Stephania tetrandra* (Fang Ji), select those with yellow heart-like patterns, then finely chop. Steam together with the roots of Plantago asiatica (Che Qian Cao) for half a day, remove the Plantago roots, finely chop, and use. Another method involves washing with wine and slicing. Yin Nie acts as an assistant drug. Antagonistic with Asarum (Xi Xin).)
(Transparent texture indicates high quality. Take 10 liang of Gastrodia elata (Tian Ma), and 1 yi of Tribulus terrestris (Ji Li Zi). Slowly roast the Tribulus until scorched. First, place 10 liang of Tian Ma in a jar, cover with the roasted Tribulus, seal the inside and outside with triple-layered paper, and tie securely. Roast over fire from Si hour (9-11 AM) to Wei hour (1-3 PM). Remove the Tribulus, re-roast, and repeat the process of placing Tian Ma in the jar, covering with roasted Tribulus, and sealing. Repeat this cycle seven times. After removing from the jar, wipe off the condensation with a cloth, split with a knife, bake dry, finely chop, and pound alone. Alternatively, wrap in flour and bake thoroughly before slicing.)
