【薄荷】
药性温热,味道辛,气味都很轻清,作用趋势向上向外,属于阳。正因为它的性质是辛凉且轻浮,所以能够疏散上部头面的风热,消除因气机逆乱引起的胀满,清利头部诸阳经交汇之处,祛除各条经络的邪气。与地骨皮一起使用,能够退除骨蒸潮热。与桑白皮一起使用,能够……
【防风】(注:根据“味辛甘”、“散上膈及在表之寒邪”、“治风寒甚捷”、“香港脚”等描述,此段实为防风,但原文未标名,依文意翻译)
药性温和,味道辛、甘,气味都很淡薄,无毒,作用趋势向上向外,属于阳。正因为它的性质轻浮,所以能够疏散上焦膈间以及体表的寒邪。因此,它能发散表邪、解除肌腠之邪,治疗风寒非常迅速;能开胃进食,治疗胀满效果最好。加入独活和苍术中,可以兼治脚气病。同石膏、白芷配合,也能治疗口臭。其根部下部的药效略缓,体质稍虚的人适合使用。它能驱除痰浊、降逆气、平喘、开心窍、润肺止咳。能消散五膈之疾,破除症瘕积聚的坚硬结块。通利大小便,止住霍乱呕吐。表虚者禁用。
【川芎】(注:根据“去头面皮肤之风”、“足阳明头痛”、“鼻病”、“乳痈背疽”、“手太阴引经”等描述,此段实为川芎或类似祛风药,但结合“温”性及后文“当归为使”,此处按原文字面翻译,不强行改名为川芎,仅忠实于提供的文本)
药性温热,味道辛,气味都很轻清,无毒,作用趋势向上向外,属于阳。能去除头面皮肤的风邪,消除周身干燥瘙痒的痹证。正因为它的性质温热且走窜于肌肉之间,所以能治疗足阳明胃经的头痛。与辛夷、细辛一起使用,则治疗鼻部疾病。与蒲公英一起使用,则能排脓。与内托散一起使用,则能去除腐烂组织并促进肌肉生长。与续命汤一起使用,则能治疗口眼歪斜。外可消散乳痈和背疽,内可托毒外出治疗肠风和痔疮。确实是各种疮疡痘疹必不可少的药物。又作为手太阴肺经的引经药,大概是因为它味辛,主要入肺经罢了。以当归为向导药,忌与旋复花同用。
【白石膏】
药性大寒,味道辛、甘,无毒,气味都很淡薄,作用趋势向下向内,属于阴。是足阳明胃经的药物。阳明经主管肌肉,正因为它的味甘,能缓和脾气、益气生津,止渴清热。正因为它的味辛,能解肌发汗,上行止头痛。所以无论是风邪伤阳还是寒邪伤阴,都能迅速解除肌表的邪气。对于胃热导致的多食善饥,或者胃热导致的不能进食,都能极有效地清泻胃火。对于不时发生的食积痰火也有特殊疗效。即使是严重的胃脘痛,也能立即痊愈。李东垣说,它能制约火邪,清泻肺热,张仲景方中有白虎汤之名。清除胃热,夺回因胃热而消耗的谷气,易老(王好古)认为它是大寒的药剂。如果身体发凉、内部安静、手足都冷的人禁用,恐怕会耗伤血液。
[Mint] (Note: The first paragraph describes Mint, though the header is missing in the snippet, context implies it. However, strictly translating the provided text which seems to be a list of herbs where headers might be implicit or cut off. Based on "气温" (Warm nature) and "辛凉" (Pungent and cool), this matches Mint description in some texts, but let's stick to the literal translation of the attributes provided).
The medicinal nature is warm, the flavor is pungent, and both scent and taste are light and clear. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. Precisely because its nature is pungent-cool and light-floating, it can dissipate wind-heat from the upper body, eliminate distension and fullness caused by rebellious Qi, clear and benefit the convergence point of the six Yang meridians, and remove pathogens leading various meridians. When used with *Digeupi* (Root Bark of Ground Plum Tree / *Lycii Cortex*), it can alleviate bone-steaming fever. When used with *Sangbaipi* (Cortex Mori / *Morus Alba Root Bark*), it can...
[Section 2 - Likely Fangfeng/Saposhnikovia based on content, but translated literally as per source structure]
The medicinal nature is mild/warm, the flavors are pungent and sweet, and both scent and taste are thin and light. It is non-toxic. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. Precisely because its nature is light-floating, it can dissipate cold pathogens from the upper jiao/diaphragm and the exterior. Therefore, it releases the exterior and resolves the muscle layer, treating wind-cold very swiftly; it opens the stomach and promotes digestion, being excellent for treating distension and fullness. Combined with *Duohuo* (Radix Saposhnikoviae) and *Cangzhu* (Rhizoma Atractylodis), it also treats podagra (gouty arthritis). Combined with *Shigao* (Gypsum Fibrosum) and *Baizhi* (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae), it also treats bad breath. The effects at the lower part of the root are slightly milder, making it suitable for those with slightly deficient constitutions. It expels phlegm, directs Qi downward, calms asthma, opens the heart orifices, moistens the lungs, and stops coughing. It dissipates disorders of the five diaphragms and breaks up hard masses of zheng-jian (accumulations). It benefits urination and defecation, and halts cholera-like vomiting. It is contraindicated in patients with exterior deficiency.
[Section 3 - Likely Chuanxiong/Ligusticum based on content, translated literally]
The medicinal nature is warm, the flavor is pungent, and both scent and taste are light and clear. It is non-toxic. Its action ascends and disperses outward, belonging to Yang. It removes wind from the head, face, and skin, and eliminates generalized dryness and itching associated with bi-syndrome. Precisely because its nature is warm and moves through the muscles, it can treat headaches of the Foot-Yangming Meridian. When used with *Xinyi* (Flos Magnoliae Bungeanae) and *Xixin* (Radix et Rhizoma Asari), it treats nasal diseases. When used with *Pugongying* (Herba Taraxaci), it can drain pus. When used with *Neituosan* (Internal Support Powder), it removes putrefaction and promotes flesh growth. When used with *Xuming Tang* (Continuing Life Decoction), it treats facial paralysis (deviation of mouth and eyes). Externally, it dissipates mastitis and back carbuncles; internally, it supports the interior to treat intestinal wind and hemorrhoids. It is indeed an essential herb for all sores, ulcers, smallpox, and measles. It also serves as a guiding herb for the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian; perhaps because its flavor is pungent, it enters the Lung exclusively. It uses *Danggui* (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) as an assistant herb, and is incompatible with *Xuanfuhua* (Flos Inulae).
[White Gypsum]
The medicinal nature is greatly cold, the flavors are pungent and sweet, and it is non-toxic. Both scent and taste are thin and light. Its action sinks and descends inward, belonging to Yin. It is a herb of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. The Yangming meridian governs the muscles. Precisely because its flavor is sweet, it can moderate Spleen Qi, benefit Qi, stop thirst, and remove fire. Precisely because its flavor is pungent, it can resolve the muscle layer and induce sweating, ascending upward to stop headaches. Therefore, whether wind pathogens injure Yang or cold pathogens injure Yin, it swiftly resolves exterior pathogens. For excessive eating due to Stomach heat, or inability to eat due to Stomach heat, it is extremely effective in draining Stomach fire. It is specially effective for intermittent food stagnation and phlegm-fire. Even severe epigastric pain can be cured immediately. Dongyuan (Li Dongyuan) said it controls fire pathogens and clears Lung heat; Zhongjing (Zhang Zhongjing) has the name "White Tiger" [in his formulas]. It removes Stomach heat and restores the ability to enjoy food; Yilao (Wang Haogu) considers it a great cold agent. It is contraindicated when the body is cool, the interior is quiet, and both hands and feet are cold, lest it consume blood.
