荠菜
味甘，性寒。主治解除各种药物的毒性。
陶隐居说：荠菜的根和茎都像人参，但叶子略有不同，根部味道极甜，能解毒。因为它与毒药放在一起，毒性自然就会停止，不会进入人体，所以医生不常将其列入方剂中使用。现在查阅其他版本的注释说：根部像桔梗，以没有中心髓为特征，无毒。二月、八月采集根部，晒干。臣禹锡等人谨按《尔雅》记载：[图片]，[图片]。解释说道：[图片]，又名[图片]。郭璞说：荠菜就是[图片]。日华子说：荠菜能杀蛊毒，治疗蛇虫咬伤，热病狂躁及温病，以及中毒箭。
《图经本草》说：荠菜，旧籍未记载其出产的州土，如今川蜀、江浙都有生长。春天生苗茎，整体像人参，但叶子略有不同，根部像桔梗根，只是没有中心髓作为区别。润州特别多，人们收集它作为水果蔬菜或制成肉脯食用，味道非常甘美。二月、八月采集根部晒干。古方解五石毒，多直接服用新鲜荠菜汁，效果很好。又《短剧方》治疗蛊毒。取荠菜根捣成粉末，用饮服用一方寸匕的量，立刻痊愈。
《食疗本草》说：丹石药发作时，取根部食用尤其好。《千金翼方》封治疔肿。取新鲜荠菜根汁一合，去渣外敷，不超过三次。
《食医心镜》说：荠菜，主要利于肺气，调和脾胃，明目，止痛。蒸熟切细做羹粥食用也可以，做成腌菜也可以。《金匮玉函方》：钩吻叶与芹菜叶相似，误食会杀人。用荠菜八两，水六升，煮取三升，分两次服用以解毒。《朝野佥载》记载野猪中了毒药箭，多吃这种植物可以排出毒素。别说云现在很多人将荠菜蒸压后混淆人参。只是味道淡罢了。
《衍义》说：荠菜，如今陕州将其采制为肉脯，有特别的方法，非常甘美，还可以寄赠远方。古人认为像人参的就是这种荠菜。
Shepherd's Purse (Qi Cai)
Sweet in flavor, cold in nature. It primarily treats and resolves the toxicity of various medicines.
Tao Hongjing stated: The roots and stems resemble those of Ginseng (Renshen), but the leaves are slightly different; the root tastes extremely sweet and can detoxify. Because it is placed together with toxic substances, the toxicity naturally ceases and does not enter the body, so physicians rarely include it in prescriptions. Current examination of other annotated editions states: The root resembles Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng), distinguished by the absence of a pith, and is non-toxic. Collect the roots in February and August, and dry them in the sun. Chen Yuxi et al. respectfully cited *Erya*: [Image], [Image]. The explanation states: [Image], also known as [Image]. Guo Pu said: Shepherd's Purse is [Image]. Ri Huazi said: Shepherd's Purse kills gu poison, treats snake and insect bites, heat-induced mania, warm diseases, and poisoned arrows.
*Tu Jing Ben Cao* stated: Shepherd's Purse, previously unrecorded regarding its place of origin, is now found throughout Sichuan, Shu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. In spring, it produces seedlings and stems that generally resemble Ginseng, but the leaves differ slightly; the root resembles Platycodonis Radix, distinguished only by the lack of a central pith. Runzhou has an abundance of it; people collect it as a fruit or vegetable or make it into dried meat-like snacks, which taste very sweet and delicious. Roots are collected in February and August and dried in the sun. Ancient prescriptions for resolving the toxicity of the Five Minerals often used fresh Shepherd's Purse juice taken directly, which is effective. Additionally, *Duan Ju Fang* treats gu poison. Take the root of Shepherd's Purse, grind it into powder, and administer one cun bi (square inch measure) with drink, resulting in immediate recovery.
*Shi Liao Ben Cao* stated: When Dan Shi (mineral pill) toxicity manifests, consuming the root is particularly beneficial. *Qian Jin Yi Fang* treats carbuncles and swellings. Take one he of fresh Shepherd's Purse root juice, strain it, and apply externally; no more than three applications are needed.
*Shi Yi Xin Jing* stated: Shepherd's Purse primarily benefits Lung Qi, harmonizes the Middle Jiao, brightens the eyes, and relieves pain. It can be steamed, chopped, and made into soup or porridge, or prepared as pickled vegetables. *Jin Gui Yu Han Fang*: Gou Wen (Aconitum coreanum) leaves resemble Celery leaves; accidental ingestion can be fatal. Use eight liang of Shepherd's Purse and six sheng of water, boil to obtain three sheng, and divide into two doses to resolve the toxicity. *Chao Ye Qian Zai* records that wild boars struck by poisoned arrows recover by consuming this plant extensively. Bie Shuo Yun noted that nowadays, many steam and press Shepherd's Purse to confuse it with Ginseng, though the taste is merely bland.
*Yan Yi* stated: Shepherd's Purse, currently processed into dried snacks in Shanzhou using special methods, is very sweet and delicious and suitable for sending as gifts to distant places. The ancients believed that the plant resembling Ginseng was this type of Shepherd's Purse.
