益智子
味辛，性温，无毒。主治遗精、虚损滑泄，小便淋漓不尽；能益气安神，补益不足，安定三焦（上焦、中焦、下焦），调理各种气机。
夜间小便频多者，取二十四枚捣碎，加盐同煎后服用，有奇特疗效。据《山海经》记载：产于昆仑国。（现附注于此）
臣禹锡等人谨按陈藏器的说法：能止住呕吐呃逆。《广志》记载：叶子像荷花的叶子，长达一丈多。其根上有小枝，高……
《图经》记载：益智子产于昆仑国，如今岭南各州郡往往都有生长。叶子像荷花的叶子，长达一丈多。其根旁生出小枝，高……在顶端结成穗状花序，果实像枣那样大。外皮白色，里面仁是黑色的，仁细小的为佳。含在口中可以收敛唾液。采摘没有固定时间。卢循担任广州刺史时，送给刘裕益智粽，刘裕回赠续命汤，指的就是这种植物。
《齐民要术》记载：益智子能阻隔涎沫污秽。顾微《广州记》记载：益智，叶子像荷花，茎像竹箭，果实从中心长出。一枝上有十个果实，果肉白而滑腻，将其四破去掉，或者用蜜煮外皮做成粽子，味道辛辣。
溲疏（音搜）
味辛、苦，性寒、微寒，无毒。主治身体皮肤中的热邪，祛除邪气，止住遗尿，通利水道，消除下部的胀气。可用来制作洗浴汤剂。又名巨骨。生长在熊耳川谷以及田野间的旧丘墟之地。四月采集。（漏芦作为其使药）陶隐居云：李云说，溲疏又名杨栌，又名牡荆，又名空疏。树皮白色且中空，时常有节。果实像枸杞子，冬季成熟，颜色赤红，味道甘、苦。到了末代就没有人认识它了。这确实是真品。不是依附篱笆生长的杨栌。李当之的这个说法，在论述牡荆时，并没有太大偏差，但滥引溲疏，恐怕是错误的。又说：溲疏与空疏也不同。掘耳二字疑应作熊耳。熊耳是山名，根本没有掘耳这个称号。《唐本注》记载：溲疏，形状像空疏，树高一丈左右，树皮白色。其果实八、九月成熟，颜色赤红，像枸杞子，味道苦，必定两个连在一起，与空疏不同。空疏又名杨栌子，结荚果，不像溲疏。现在的注释认为溲疏、枸杞虽然相似，然而溲疏有刺，枸杞无刺，以此作为区别罢了。臣禹锡等人谨按《图经》在枸杞条目下已有详细记载。
Yi Zhi Zi (Alpinia oxyphylla Fruit)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats seminal emission and deficiency-type leakage, dribbling after urination; benefits Qi, calms the Shen (Spirit), tonifies insufficiency, stabilizes the San Jiao (Triple Burner: Upper, Middle, and Lower Jiao), and regulates various Qi mechanisms.
For those with frequent nocturia, take 24 fruits, crush them, decoct with salt, and ingest; this yields remarkable results. According to *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas): Grows in Kunlun State. (Currently appended here.)
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully note Chen Cangqi's statement: Stops vomiting and hiccups. *Guang Zhi* records: Leaves resemble lotus leaves, over a zhang long. Small branches grow on its roots, reaching a height of...
*Tu Jing* (Illustrated Canon) records: Yi Zhi Zi grows in Kunlun State; nowadays, it is often found in prefectures and commanderies of Lingnan. Leaves resemble lotus leaves, over a zhang long. Small branches grow from the sides of the roots, reaching a height of... Bearing spike-like inflorescences at the top, fruits are about the size of dates. The skin is white, the kernel inside is black; kernels that are fine/small are superior. Holding it in the mouth helps control saliva secretion. Harvested at any time. Lu Xun, while serving as Prefect of Guangzhou, sent Liu Yu "Yi Zhi Zong" (Zongzi made with Yi Zhi Zi); Liu Yu replied with Xu Ming Tang (Life-Extending Decoction), referring to this plant.
*Qimin Yaoshu* (Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People) records: Yi Zhi Zi can block salivary secretions and filth. Gu Wei's *Guangzhou Ji* records: Yi Zhi, leaves like lotus, stems like bamboo arrows, fruits emerge from the center. One branch bears ten fruits; the fruit flesh is white and slippery. It can be split into four parts and discarded, or the outer skin boiled with honey to make Zongzi, which tastes pungent.
Sou Shu (Deutzia Scabra Root)
Pungent and bitter in flavor, cold and slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats heat in the skin and body surface, eliminates pathogenic factors, stops enuresis/involuntary urination, promotes free flow of water passages, and removes lower abdominal distension/Qi stagnation. Can be used to prepare bathing decoctions. Also known as Ju Gu. Grows in valleys of Xiong'er River and fields/old mound ruins. Harvested in April. (Lou Lu serves as its guiding herb/enforcer.) Tao Hongjing states: Li Yun says, Sou Shu is also known as Yang Lu, Mu Jing, Kong Shu. Bark is white and hollow, occasionally jointed. Fruits resemble Goji berries, ripen in winter, red in color, sweet and bitter in taste. In later generations, no one recognized it. This is indeed the authentic species. It is not the Yang Lu that climbs fences. Li Dangzhi's description, when discussing Mu Jing, was not significantly deviant, but erroneously included Sou Shu, which is likely a mistake. Furthermore, he stated that Sou Shu differs from Kong Shu. "Jue Er" is suspected to be a typo for "Xiong Er." Xiong Er is a mountain name; there is no such designation as "Jue Er." *Tang Ben Zhu* (Tang Dynasty Supplemental Notes) records: Sou Shu resembles Kong Shu in shape, trees are about a zhang high, with white bark. Its fruits ripen in August and September, are red, resemble Goji berries, taste bitter, and always grow in pairs, differing from Kong Shu. Kong Shu is also known as Yang Lu Zi, producing pods, unlike Sou Shu. Current annotations note that although Sou Shu and Goji look similar, Sou Shu has thorns while Goji does not, which serves as the distinction. Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully note that detailed descriptions are already provided under the Goji entry in *Tu Jing*.
