It fears Lei Wan (Wolffiae Spores) and Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus).
[Indications] Primarily tonifies the Five Zang Organs. Treats deficiency-wasting syndrome with emaciation. Strengthens Yin and benefits Essence. (From *Shennong Bencao Jing*). Harmonizes Stomach Qi.

[Meridian Tropism] Enters the Stomach and Kidney meridians. Also enters the Heart and Spleen meridians. It is a substance that clears heat and nourishes Yin. (Clears damp-heat from the Spleen and Stomach, tonifies the four meridians).
[Preceding Discussions] Kou Zongshi stated: Shihu has merit in treating deficient heat in the Stomach. Li Shizhen stated: This is a herb for the Spleen and the Right Kidney. *Shen Shi Fang* states: It treats scrotal dampness and scanty essence.
