（凡使各有讹伪有三验第一验将半铢安于铜器中一宿至明沾阿魏处白如银汞无赤色第二 验将一铢置于五斗草自然汁中一夜至明如鲜血色第三验将一铢安于柚树上树立干便是真色黑 者力微黄溏者力上凡使先于净钵中研如粉了于热酒器上 过任入药用）
在炮制和使用时，常混杂有伪劣品，有三种验证方法：第一种验证，取半铢（古代重量单位）放在铜器中过夜，到第二天早上，沾染阿魏（Asafoetida）的地方呈现白色，如同银汞一样，没有红色；第二种验证，取一铢放在五斗草（一种植物，此处指其天然汁液）的自然汁液中浸泡一夜，到第二天早上，颜色如同鲜血色；第三种验证，取一铢放在柚子树上竖立晾干，如果是真正的阿魏，干燥后颜色发黑。颜色发黑的药力微弱，颜色发黄且质地软糯的药力最强。凡是使用阿魏时，先在干净的钵中研磨成粉末，然后在热酒器上过滤，之后任随医嘱入药使用。
（八九月开花着穗时采之去根留叶阴干勿令犯火服至十两一生不得食白山桃也）
在八月或九月开花结穗时采收，去掉根部，保留叶子，阴干，不要让火烤。服用量可达十两，但终身不能吃白山桃（一种植物果实）。
（花未舒者良去梗蒂甘草水浸一时晒干用杏仁为之使 得紫菀良 恶玄参皂荚硝石 畏 贝母麻黄辛夷黄芩黄 连翘青葙）
花朵尚未开放的品质较好。去掉花梗和花蒂，用甘草水煮片刻，晒干后使用。杏仁是其“使”药（引经药或辅助药），与紫菀（Periplocae Radix）配伍效果好。忌与玄参（Scrophulariae Radix）、皂荚（Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus）、硝石（Natrii Nitras）同用。畏惧贝母（Fritillariae Bulbus）、麻黄（Ephedrae Herba）、辛夷（Magnoliae Flos）、黄芩（Scutellariae Radix）、黄连（Coptidis Rhizoma）、连翘（Forsythiae Fructus）、青葙（Celosiae Semen）。
（自种者真得酒良）
自己种植的才是真品，用酒处理效果良好。
（凡使采得后晒干用铜刀劈破去骨了细锉如大豆许用清酒拌蒸从巳至未出晒干用阔而浓 者良 忌蒜胡荽 伏砒 畏菟丝子贝母大黄）
凡是使用，采摘后晒干，用铜刀劈开，去掉木质部分（骨），细细切碎如大豆大小，用清酒拌匀，蒸制，从巳时（上午9-11点）到未时（下午1-3点）取出，晒干。叶片宽大且厚实的品质较好。忌与大蒜、胡荽（香菜）同用。能克制砒霜。畏惧菟丝子（Cuscutae Semen）、贝母（Fritillariae Bulbus）、大黄（Rhei Radix et Rhizoma）。
去掉绒毛，用米醋浸泡一天，切片炒制，或者煮熟后焙干，入药效果才好。
（水飞去脚绿中有锻石入服饵药中宜飞净用一法用青布浸汁代之）
用水飞法去除杂质（脚/沉淀物），绿色中含有锻石（煅烧过的矿石粉末）。用于内服药时，应飞炼干净使用。另一种方法是用青布浸泡出的汁液代替水飞。
颜色发红，形状像姜黄，腹部饱满如蝉腹的品质较好。放入生鸡血中能化成水的为真品。研磨成汁，在服用前加入药中。
（上有青竹文斑并光腻味极苦勿便和众药捣此药先捣成粉待众药末出然后入药中）
表面有青竹般的纹路斑点，并且光滑细腻，味道极苦。不要立刻与其他药物一起捣碎。这种药要先单独捣成粉末，等其他药物都粉碎好后，再混入药中。
（产茅山溪陵涧粒粒金黄色者良醋煮切）
产于茅山溪流山涧之间，颗粒呈金黄色的品质较好。用醋煮后切片。
（不油不蛀不皱皮者佳糯米作粉使热汤搜裹豆蔻于糖灰中炮待米团子焦黄熟然后出去米 粉用勿令犯铜铁）
不油腻、无虫蛀、表皮不皱缩的为好。用糯米做成粉，用热水调和包裹住豆蔻，放在糖灰中炮制。等到米团子变成焦黄色熟透后，去掉米粉使用。不要让药物接触铜器和铁器。
（药煎成方炒研入一二沸即起入丸待诸药细末后方入勿隔宿）
药汤煎好后，才进行炒制和研磨。放入锅中煮沸一两次就立即取出，用于制作丸剂。要等所有药物都成为细末后才混合进去，不要隔夜存放。
（略炒吹去衣研用入汤丸法同白豆蔻 得白檀香豆蔻为使入肺得人参益智为使入脾得黄 柏茯苓为使入肾得赤白石脂为使入大小肠得诃子白芜荑鳖甲良）
稍微炒制，吹去外壳，研磨后使用。入汤剂或丸剂的用法与白豆蔻相同。得到白檀香（Santalum Album）和白豆蔻（Amomi Fructus Rotundus）作为引导药可入肺经；得到人参（Ginseng Radix）和益智仁（Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus）作为引导药可入脾经；得到黄柏（Phellodendri Cortex）和茯苓（Poria）作为引导药可入肾经；得到赤石脂（Halloysitum Rubrum）和白石脂（Halloysitum Album）作为引导药可入大肠和小肠；得到诃子（Terminalia Chebulae Fructus）、白芜荑（Euphorbiae Lathyridis Semen）、鳖甲（Trionycis Carapax）则效果良好。
(When processing and using, there are often counterfeits. There are three verification methods: The first verification, place half a zhu (an ancient unit of weight) in a copper vessel overnight. By the next morning, the area touching the Asafoetida (Asafoetida) should turn white like silver amalgam, without any red color. The second verification, place one zhu in the natural juice of Wudoucao (a plant, referring to its fresh juice) overnight. By the next morning, it should resemble the color of fresh blood. The third verification, place one zhu upright on a pomelo tree to dry. If it is genuine Asafoetida, it will turn black upon drying. Those that turn black have weak potency; those that turn yellow and have a soft, glutinous texture have the strongest potency. When using Asafoetida, first grind it into powder in a clean mortar, then filter it over a hot wine vessel, and subsequently use it as prescribed.)
(Harvest when flowers bloom and ears form in August or September. Remove the roots but keep the leaves. Dry in the shade, avoiding fire exposure. The dosage can reach ten liang, but one must never consume Baishantao (a type of fruit) for life.)
(Remove the heart and skin. Soak in wine overnight, drain, bake until dry, finely chop, and use.)
(Flowers that have not yet opened are of superior quality. Remove the stems and calyxes. Soak in licorice water for a short period, sun-dry, and use. Almond (Amygdalus Communis Seed) serves as an guiding herb. It works well with Periplocae Radix (Ziwan). It is incompatible with Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen), Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus (Zaojiao), and Natrii Nitras (Xiaoshi). It opposes Fritillariae Bulbus (Beimu), Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang), Magnoliae Flos (Xinyi), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), Forsythiae Fructus (Lianqiao), and Celosiae Semen (Qingxiang).)
(Self-cultivated varieties are genuine. Processing with wine yields good results.)
(When using, harvest and sun-dry. Split open with a copper knife, remove the woody core, finely chop to the size of soybeans, mix with clear wine, steam from Si hour (9-11 AM) to Wei hour (1-3 PM), take out, and sun-dry. Leaves that are broad and thick are of superior quality. Avoid garlic and Coriandrum Sativum (Huisui/Parsley). It can neutralize Arsenic Trioxide (Pi). It opposes Cuscutae Semen (Tusizi), Fritillariae Bulbus (Beimu), and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang).)
(Remove the hairs. Soak in rice vinegar for one day. Slice, stir-fry, or boil until cooked, then bake until dry before incorporating into medicine.)
(Water levigation removes impurities. Green material containing calcined mineral powder is used. For internal administration, it should be levigated cleanly. Another method uses juice extracted from green cloth instead of water.)
(Those that are reddish, resemble Curcuma Longa (Jianghuang), and have plump bellies like cicadas are of good quality. Genuine ones dissolve into water when placed in raw chicken blood. Grind into juice and add to the medicine just before consumption.)
(It has patterns resembling green bamboo stripes on the surface, is smooth and greasy, and tastes extremely bitter. Do not crush it together with other herbs immediately. This herb should first be crushed into powder separately. After all other herbs are powdered, then incorporate it into the mixture.)
(Produced in the streams and ravines of Maoshan. Those with golden-yellow granules are of superior quality. Boil in vinegar and slice.)
(Those that are not oily, free from insect damage, and have non-wrinkled skin are excellent. Make flour from glutinous rice, use hot water to knead and wrap around Amomum Fruit (Doukou). Roast in sugar ash until the rice dumpling turns焦yellow and cooked. Then remove the rice flour. Do not let it contact copper or iron vessels.)
(Only stir-fry and grind after the decoction is finished. Add to the pot, bring to a boil one or two times, then remove. Use for making pills. Wait until all other herbs are finely powdered before mixing. Do not store overnight.)
(Slightly stir-fry, blow off the husks, grind, and use. The method for soups and pills is the same as for White Cardamom (Baidoukou). With Santalum Album (Baitanxiang) and Amomum Fruit (Doukou) as guides, it enters the Lung meridian. With Ginseng (Renshen) and Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus (Yizhi) as guides, it enters the Spleen meridian. With Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai) and Poria (Fuling) as guides, it enters the Kidney meridian. With Halloysitum Rubrum (Chishizhi) and Halloysitum Album (Baishizhi) as guides, it enters the Large and Small Intestines. It works well with Terminalia Chebulae Fructus (Hezi), Euphorbiae Lathyridis Semen (Baiwuyi), and Trionycis Carapax (Biejia).)
