大概肾脏寒冷,需要借助荜澄茄来辅助脾胃;治疗心痛、破除积聚,需使用蓬莪术。缩砂仁(砂仁)能止吐泻、安胎,化解酒食积滞;附子治疗虚寒导致的翻胃(朝食暮吐),具有壮补元阳的力量。白豆蔻治疗冷泻,乳香治疗痈肿并止痛,干漆消血杀虫。

曾观察到五灵脂治疗崩漏,调理血气的刺痛。麒麟竭(血竭)止血外出,治疗金疮(金属利器造成的创伤)及伤折;麋茸壮阳以辅助肾脏;当归补虚养血;乌贼骨止带下,且能除去崩漏引起的目翳(眼生云翳);鹿角胶能止住血崩,能补益虚弱消瘦和劳损绝经之人。白花蛇治疗瘫痪,祛除风痒引起的癣疹;乌梢蛇治疗肌肤麻木不仁,祛除疮疡的风热。《图经本草》记载乌药有治疗冷气的道理,禹余粮是治疗崩漏的原因所在。巴豆能通利痰水,能破除积热;独活治疗各种风邪,不论病程久新。山茱萸是治疗头晕遗精的药物,白石英医治咳嗽吐脓的病人。浓朴温暖胃腑并去除呕吐胀满,消痰也有效验;肉桂运行血液并治疗心痛,止汗效果如神。
