[Mabó (Hemp Flower Dust)]
Taste: Acrid (Xin). Nature: Neutral (Ping). Indications: Mainly treats Wu Lao Qi Shang (five labors and seven injuries, a general term for various chronic deficiency syndromes). Promotes the free flow of Qi in the five Zang organs. Directs blood downward and disperses cold pathogenic factors. Excessive consumption may cause hallucinations, such as seeing ghosts, and manic wandering. Long-term use can enhance spiritual clarity, making the body light and agile.
[Mazi (Hemp Seed)]
Also known as Mabó or Mazi. Taste: Sweet (Gan). Nature: Neutral (Ping). Indications: Mainly tonifies the Middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach) and benefits Qi. Makes the body robust and prevents aging, potentially leading to an immortal-like state. Grows in river valleys.
The tassels hang heavy and lush; worries about future events can be foreseen. Observing the early or late arrival of spring helps distinguish male from female plants. References to stories from the Chen Dynasty: Dogs were recommended for consumption in autumn. Formed into pills and taken facing the sun, it illuminates dark places and dispels demons.
Famous physicians state that Mabó is the powdery substance on the hemp flowers. Tao Hongjing stated that practitioners of Daoist arts take it together with other herbs to foresee future events. Chen Cangqi stated that sown in early spring, it is called Chun Mazi (Spring Hemp Seed); sown in late spring, it is called Qiu Mazi (Autumn Hemp Seed). Li Shizhen stated that hemp seeds have male and female distinctions: males are called Xi (male hemp), and females are called Ju (female hemp). The commentary on the Rites of Zhou states that the bamboo baskets used in morning sacrifices contain Xi. Roasted wheat is called Qiu; roasted hemp is also called Qiu. The Rites of Zhou records: In the first month of autumn, one eats hemp and dog meat. Meng Xian stated that raw hemp seeds pounded into pills, taken facing the sun for one hundred days, allow one to see ghosts. The Cloud Cabinet Seven Signs mentions: The purple dawn's dark candle shines bright. Liu Ji's poetry mentions: Flying among demons.
[Dongkuizi (Malva Seed)]
Taste: Sweet (Gan). Nature: Cold (Han). Indications: Mainly treats cold-heat disorders of the five Zang and six Fu organs. Treats emaciation and Wu Long (five types of strangury/urinary difficulties). Promotes urination. Long-term use strengthens bones, increases muscle mass, makes the body light, and extends longevity.
Dew releases the heart of the mallow; it tilts toward the sun, protecting its roots. The husk floats with fragrance; the flower is light and dyes green. Semen Carotae (Platycladi) refines appearance; Fructus Zanthoxyli (Sichuan Pepper) expels toxicity. Sown in the morning, it grows by evening; fire scorches the earth to ripen it.
Li Shizhen stated that ancients harvested malva only after the dew had dried and the "heart" had opened, hence it is called Lu Kui (Dew Malva). Meng Xian stated that the heart of the malva is toxic and should not be eaten. Kong Pingzhong's poem states: Burning the grass and extracting the heart of the malva. Cao Zhi's memorial states: Like the leaves of malva tilting toward the sun. The Zuo Zhuan states: Even malva can protect its feet (roots). Bao Zhao's fu states: The tender husks bloom. Du Fu's poem states: Its fragrance pairs well with green malva. Li Shizhen stated that Dongkuizi is light and void, resembling elm seeds. Emperor Yuan of Liang's poem states: Dew-drenched, it seems dyed green. Tao Hongjing's prescription uses equal parts of Dongkuizi and Semen Carotae (Platycladi) to treat facial sores. King Wu's belt inscription states: After the fire extinguishes, refine one's appearance. The Thousand Gold Formulas states that decocting Dongkuizi juice can counteract the toxicity of Sichuan pepper. The Compendium of Marvels states that roasting Dongkuizi until it pops and scattering it on cooked land causes it to grow overnight.
