（安息香）质地也柔韧（音同“刃”）。（《唐本草》先在此处附注）
安息香树，出产于波斯国，波斯人称之为辟邪树。树高三丈，树皮颜色黄黑。叶子有四个角，经历寒冬也不凋谢。二月开花，花色黄色，花心微带碧色，不结果实。刻削其树皮，流出的胶液像饴糖一样，名叫安息香。六月、七月时胶液凝固后采集。燃烧它可以通神，驱除各种恶气。日华子认为它能治疗邪气引起的魍魉鬼魅之病、鬼胎血邪，驱除蛊毒，补益肾气，治疗霍乱、风痛，治疗妇人血噤及产后血晕。
海药部记载：谨按《广州记》说：产于南海波斯国，是树中的脂液，形状像桃胶，在秋天采集。又有方剂记载：说妇人夜间梦见与鬼交合，用臭黄合制成丸药，在丹穴中焚烧熏蒸，可永远断绝此症。又主治男子遗精，温暖肾脏，驱除恶气。
（仙人杖）小儿惊痫及夜间啼哭，用它作为伴睡之物效果很好。又主治痔疮，烧成粉末，服用一方寸匕。这是笋子即将长成竹子时立死的竹子，颜色黑如漆，五、六月采收。苦桂竹多生长这种竹子。
另外还有一种仙人杖，味甘，性小温，无毒。长期服用可以长生不老，坚固筋骨，使人不衰老。煮食它，可以去除痰癖，驱除风冷。产于剑南平泽。叶子像苦苣菜，丛生。陈子昂在《观玉篇序》中说：夏四月，驻扎在张掖河州，草木没有其他的异样，都是仙人杖。往往丛生，我家世代服食它，过去曾经吃过，以及这次出行时也见过。平息心意于此味。
《图经》说：文字内容参见枸杞条下。
（松萝）作为催吐的汤药，通利水道。又名女萝。生长在熊耳山川谷的松树上。五月采集，阴干。
陶隐居说：东山很多，生长在杂树上，而以生长在松树上的为真品。《毛诗》说：茑（音同“鸟”）和女萝，附着在松树上。茑是寄生植物，以生长在桑树上的为真品，不用松树上的，这里互有相同之处。现在详细考证《经》文说：松萝应当使用长在松树上的。臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》说：松萝，为使药，味苦、辛，性微热。能治疗寒热，能吐出胸中的客痰涎，去除……

(Anxi Xiang) The texture is also flexible and tough (pronounced like "ren"). (Note added first in *Tang Bencao*)
The Anxi Xiang tree originates from the Kingdom of Persia, where it is called Bixie Shu (Tree that wards off evil spirits). It grows three zhang tall, with yellow-black bark. The leaves have four angles and do not wither even after enduring cold. It flowers in February; the flowers are yellow with a slightly greenish center, and it does not bear fruit. By carving its bark, the resin flows out like maltose syrup, named Anxi Xiang (Benzoin). It is collected in June and July when the resin solidifies. Burning it can communicate with spirits and ward off various evils. Ri Huazi states it treats diseases caused by evil qi such as hallucinations or ghostly manifestations, ghost fetus blood stasis, and蛊毒 (gu poison); it tonifies Kidney Qi, treats Huoluan (cholera-like disorder), Fengtong (wind-pain), and treats women's blood jing (blood stagnation/spasm) and postpartum blood vertigo.
*Haiyao* section records: According to *Guangzhou Ji*: It is produced in the South Sea Kingdom of Persia, being the resin within the tree, resembling peach gum, harvested in autumn. Another prescription states: For women who dream of sexual intercourse with ghosts at night, mix Chouhuang (Stink Yellow) into pills, burn them in a Danyue (cinnabar cave) for fumigation, which can permanently cure this condition. It also treats nocturnal emission in men, warms the Kidneys, and dispels evil qi.
(Xianren Zhang) For pediatric Jingxian (convulsions/epilepsy) and night crying, using it as a sleeping companion is effective. It also treats hemorrhoids; burnt to powder, take one fangcun bi (a square-inch measure). This refers to bamboo shoots that die standing just before becoming mature bamboo; the color is black as lacquer, harvested in May and June. Ku Gui Zhu (Bitter Cinnamon Bamboo) often grows this type of bamboo.
There is another variety of Xianren Zhang, with a sweet taste, slightly warm nature, and non-toxic. Long-term consumption promotes longevity, strengthens bones and tendons, and prevents aging. Consumed as cooked food, it removes phlegm accumulation and dispels wind-cold. It grows in the plains and marshes of Jiannan. The leaves resemble bitter lettuce (Lactuca serriola), growing in clusters. Chen Zi'ang wrote in his *Preface to Guan Yu Pian*: In the fourth month of summer, stationed at Hezhou of Zhangye, among the grass and trees there were no other anomalies; all were Xianren Zhang. They often grow in clusters. My family has consumed it for generations; I previously ingested it, and during this journey, I encountered it again. It calms the mind regarding this flavor.
*Tujing* states: See the entry under Gouqi (Lycium Fruit) for text.
(Songluo) As a decoction for inducing vomiting, it promotes water passage. Also known as Nuluo. It grows on pine trees in the valleys of Mount Xiong'er. Harvested in May, dried in the shade.
Tao Hongjing stated: There are many in Dongshan, growing on miscellaneous trees, but those growing on pine trees are authentic. *Mao Shi* (Book of Songs) says: Niao (vine) and Nuluo attach themselves to pine trees. Niao is a parasitic plant; those growing on mulberry trees are considered authentic, not those on pines. Here they share similarities. Currently, detailed examination of the *Classic* states: Songluo should be sourced from pine trees. Minister Yuxi et al. carefully reviewed *Yaoxing Lun* stating: Songluo serves as an envoy herb, with bitter and pungent tastes, and slightly hot nature. It can treat chills and fever, expel guest phlegm-saliva from the chest, remove...
