【石钟乳】
味甘，性温。主治咳嗽气逆上冲。能明目、益精，安养五脏，通利全身关节，疏通九窍，促进乳汁分泌。（《太平御览》中称其为“留公乳”）生长于山谷之中。
它由刚硬的岩石脉络中渗出乳汁般的物质，经过蒸煮后颜色如同栗子般黄润，在寒冷的环境中凝结成卤块，形态如鹅管排列成筒，又如蝉翼薄纱交错编织。作为药石而言，它与仙茅相比，究竟谁更珍贵呢？
韩愈的诗中提到：“泄乳交岩脉。”吴普说：“石钟乳呈黄白色，内部中空且相通。”《唐书》记载：高季辅多次上书陈述得失，言辞诚恳急切。皇帝赐给他一剂钟乳，并说道：“你进献的是如药石般有益的言论，我也以药石（指钟乳）来回报你。”《续传信方》中说：“千斤钟乳，不如一斤仙茅。”
【涅石】
味酸，性寒。主治寒热交替、腹泻痢疾，白带过多及阴部溃烂，恶疮及眼痛。能坚固筋骨牙齿。经炼制后服用，可轻身延年。又名“羽涅”。生长于山谷之中。
羽涅产于羽泽之地，位于女床山的北坡。寒凝热烤之下，形成巨大的创口般的纹理，疼痛深入。用它染黑丝织品容易改变颜色。炼制后服用可调和心性，嘲笑那些像叶子一样轻薄的人，自己却依附于高山之巅。
吴普说：“矾石又名羽泽。”《山海经》记载：“女床山，其北坡多产涅石。”《淮南子》记载：“用涅来染黑丝织品。”黄庭坚说：“江南野外有一种花，当地人采集叶子烧成灰，用来染紫黑色，不需要借助矾石就能成功，因此这种花易名为山矾花。”
【硝石】
味苦，性寒。主治五脏积热、胃扩张闭塞。涤荡去除体内蓄积结滞的饮食，推陈出新，祛除邪气。炼制后如膏状，长期服用可使身体轻便。（《太平御览》引文称其为“芒硝”）生长于山谷之中。
京山的元（消），性质善于洗涤肠胃。制作时产生芒刺状的结晶，味道咸涩，互相劝勉多吃饭。解酒醒醉，既养阳气又养阴气，智慧圣明者喜欢治疗它。
《山海经》记载：“京山的北坡，有元（消）。”“消”即“硝”的异体字。刘基的诗写道：“浣胃涤肠，绝去病根。”《史记》记载：“作作有芒。”王褒的赋写道：“[硝]而有味道。”古诗云：“上面有加餐饭。”《诗经》云：“既醉以酒。”《礼记》云：“凡是饮酒，是为了养阳气；凡是进食，是为了养阴气。”《淮南子》云：“黄色主胃。”智慧圣明者喜好治理（调理）。
[Shizhongru / Stalactite]
The flavor is sweet, and the nature is warm. It primarily treats cough with rebellious Qi ascending (Ke Ni Shang Qi). It brightens the eyes, benefits essence (Jing), calms the five Zang organs (Wu Zang), unblocks all joints (Bai Jie), opens the nine orifices (Jiu Qiao), and promotes lactation. (Taiping Yulan refers to it as "Liugong Ru"). It grows in mountain valleys.
It transforms from rigid rock into softness; milk-like substances seep from rock veins. Steamed like chestnuts, turning yellow; ice accumulates halide crystals. Arranged like goose quills in tubes, interlaced like cicada wings and silk threads. Compared among medicinal stones, how can Immortal Herb (Xian Mao) be counted?
Han Yu's poem mentions: "Milk-like substances intersect rock veins." Wu Pu stated: "It is yellowish-white and hollow inside with passages connecting through." The Book of Tang records: Gao Jifu frequently submitted memorials stating gains and losses, his words sincere and urgent. The Emperor bestowed a dose of Stalactite upon him, saying, "You offer advice as beneficial as medicinal stone (Yao Shi); I repay you with medicinal stone." The Xu Chuanxin Fang states: "A thousand jin of Stalactite is not worth one jin of Immortal Herb (Xian Mao)."
[Nieshi / Alum Stone]
The flavor is sour, and the nature is cold. It primarily treats alternating chills and fever, diarrhea and dysentery, excessive leukorrhea (Bai Wo), yin erosion (genital ulcers), malignant sores, and eye pain. It strengthens sinews, bones, and teeth. After refining and processing, it can be taken orally to lighten the body and prevent aging, thereby extending lifespan. It is also known as "Yuni". It grows in mountain valleys.
Yuni comes from Yuzhe, located on the shady side of Nüchuang Mountain. Cold condenses while heat bakes; wounds are large and pain deep. Used to dye black fabrics, changing colors easily. Refined and taken to regulate the mind, scoffing at those who are thin as leaves, yet secretly attaching themselves to high peaks.
Wu Pu stated: "Alum Stone (Fanshi) is also called Yuze." The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: "Nüchuang Mountain, its shady side has much Nieshi." Huainanzi records: "Use Ni (alum/iron sulfate) to dye black silk." Huang Tingjian said: "In the wilds of Jiangnan, there is a flower. Locals collect its leaves, burn them to ash, and use them to dye purple-black without needing alum. Hence, it was renamed Shanfan Flower."
[Xiaoshi / Nitre]
The flavor is bitter, and the nature is cold. It primarily treats accumulation of heat in the five Zang organs and gastric distension with obstruction. It purges accumulated and knotted food, eliminates the old to generate the new, and dispels pathogenic factors. After refining, it becomes paste-like. Long-term consumption lightens the body. (Taiping Yulan cites it as "Mangxiao" / Mirabilite). It grows in mountain valleys.
Yuanshao from Jingshan excels at washing the stomach. When made, it produces crystalline芒 (mang/nitre crystals); the taste is salty/astringent. Mutual encouragement to add meals. Resolves hangovers after drunkenness, nourishes both Yang Qi and Yin Qi. Wise and sage individuals prefer its treatment.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: "On the shady side of Jingshan, there is Yuanshao." Xiao is an alternative character for Xiaoshi (Nitre). Liu Ji's poem writes: "Wash the stomach and purge the intestines, completely removing the root of disease." The Records of the Grand Historian records: "Zuozuo has芒 (crystals/sparkles)." Wang Bao's fu writes: "[Xiaoshi] has flavor." Ancient poetry says: "Above, there is added meal rice." The Book of Songs says: "Having drunk wine until drunk." The Book of Rites states: "Regarding drinking, it nourishes Yang Qi; regarding eating, it nourishes Yin Qi." Huainanzi states: "Yellow corresponds to the Stomach." Wise and sage individuals favor governance (regulation).
