Fifty-six kinds in total.
*Shichangpu* (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma): Pungent, warm, non-toxic. Clarifies the ears and eyes. *Yaoxing Lun* records: Treats tearing caused by Head Wind (Toufeng). One-inch segments with nine nodes are superior. *Qianjin Fang* records: On a Jiazi day, harvest one-inch *Shichangpu* with nine nodes, dry in shade for one hundred days, grind into powder. Take one cun bi (a measure of volume) per dose, three times daily. This renders the ears and eyes clear and prevents memory loss.
*Juhua* (Chrysanthemi Flos): Bitter, sweet, neutral, non-toxic. Primarily treats Head Wind causing dizziness, swelling, and pain; sensation of eyes protruding; and tearing. Ri Huazi states: There are two types of Chrysanthemum. Those with large flowers, fragrant aroma, and purple stems are called Ganju (Sweet Chrysanthemum). Those with small flowers, strong odor, and green stems are named Yeju (Wild Chrysanthemum). The bitter-sweet variety is used medicinally; the purely bitter is not suitable. It treats wandering wind headache in the four limbs and can be made into pillows to brighten the eyes. The leaves also brighten the eyes. *Shiliao Bencao* records: Sweet Chrysanthemum is neutral. Its leaves can be harvested in the first month for soup. Stems are harvested on the fifth day of the fifth month. Flowers are harvested on the ninth day of the ninth month. All treat Head Wind, dizziness, and tearing. *Shiyi Xinjing* records: Sweet Chrysanthemum treats Head Wind, dizziness, and tearing. It can be chopped and cooked in soup or porridge, or eaten raw.
*Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma): Sweet, warm. Slightly cold, non-toxic. Primarily eliminates pathogenic factors, brightens the eyes, and unblocks the blood vessels.
*Tiangmendong* (Asparagi Radix): Bitter, sweet, neutral. Greatly cold, non-toxic. Primarily treats various acute rheumatic conditions and stabilizes Lung Qi.
*Gancao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma): Sweet, neutral, non-toxic. Unblocks meridians, benefits Qi and Blood, and resolves the toxicity of all herbs.
*Zhu* (Atractylodis Rhizoma): Bitter, sweet, warm, non-toxic. Primarily treats wind-induced vertigo and headache, and tearing. *Shenghui Fang* records: To treat Quemu (Night Blindness) regardless of time or month, use two liang of Cangzhu (Coarseleaf Atractylodes Rhizome), grind into fine powder. Take one qian per dose, at any time. Take one good sheep liver, slice open with a bamboo knife, spread the medicine inside, tie tightly with hemp rope, and cook in one large bowl of rice washing water until done. The patient should first fumigate the eyes with the medicinal vapor, then eat it after the vapor dissipates. *Jianyao Jizhong Fang* also treats pediatric night blindness. *Jingyan Fang* records: Cangzhu, amount unspecified, soak in rice washing water for three days, changing water daily. After the period, remove, scrape off black skin, slice, and sun-dry. Stir-fry over slow fire until yellow, grind finely. For every jin of powder, use half a jin of steamed Fuling (Poria), form pills like paulownia seeds with refined honey. Take fifteen pills with warm cooked water on an empty stomach and before bed. Additionally, mix six liang of Zhu powder and six liang of Gancao powder evenly, make into a decoction to drink. This strengthens complexion and clarifies eyes and ears. Avoid peaches, plums, clams, and sparrows for three days. Also treats internal and external eye obstructions: Four liang of Cangzhu, soak in rice washing water for seven days, changing water daily. Then scrape off black skin, cut finely, add one liang of Qingyan (Green Salt), stir-fry together until yellow. Remove salt. Muzei (Equiseti Herba) two liang, soak in urine of a young boy overnight, wash with water, bake dry. Grind together into powder. Take one qian 7 fen mixed with food and vegetables at any time; very effective.
*Tusizi* (Cuscutae Semen): Pungent, sweet, non-toxic. Long-term use brightens the eyes.
