[Guazha (Yue Melon)]
Taste is sweet, nature is cold. It promotes the gastrointestinal tract and relieves thirst and irritability. It should not be consumed in excess, as it may disturb Qi, trigger various sores, cause weakness to the point of inability to walk, and is not beneficial for children. It should not be eaten after recovery from epidemic febrile diseases (Tianxing Bing). Furthermore, it should not be consumed with cow's milk, cheese, or on an empty stomach, as this may induce heart pain. (Appendix)
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite Chen Cangqi: Guazha, the larger ones are pure white, and people in Yue eat them as fruit. It promotes urination, removes irritability and heat, resolves alcohol toxicity, and vents excessive heat. The smaller ones can be pickled; when made into powder, they are applied to treat sores on the lips and hot sores on the penis.
The *Illustrated Classic* provides detailed information under the entry for "Gua Di" (Melon Stalk).
Dietary therapy: Children should not consume it in summer. Additionally, it triggers various sores, causes weakness, and leads to coldness in the middle jiao. It often causes masses (Zheng) below the navel with unceasing pain.
[Baijie (White Mustard Seed)]
Taste is pungent, nature is warm, non-toxic. It primarily treats cold Qi. The color is white, very pungent and delicious, originating from the Western Regions. The seeds treat poisoning by "Shegong" (a mythical water creature/snake) and Zhu Qi (wandering pestilence), promote sweating in cases of rebellious Qi, treat phlegm-cold in the chest and diaphragm, and yellow complexion. It grows in Hedong. (Appendix)
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully cite Chen Cangqi: Baijie grows in Taiyuan. It resembles mustard but has white leaves; when eaten as a vegetable, it is very delicious. Rihua Zi states: Baijie can stabilize the five zang organs, and its functions are quite similar to those of common mustard. The seeds, when roasted or ingested, can ward off evil spirits.
The *Illustrated Classic* provides detailed information under the entry for "Jie".
Chen Cangqi states: It treats cold Qi. The seeds treat rebellious Qi, promote sweating, treat phlegm-cold in the chest and diaphragm, and yellow-red complexion; they are also used for house-spirit appeasement. *Waitai Miyao*: Treats regurgitation (Fanwei), vomiting food accompanied by rebellious Qi. Dry small mustard seeds, grind into powder, and take one Fangcun Bi (a traditional measure) with wine. Another prescription: For three types of Shegong (water弩). Pound mustard seeds until soft, mix with vinegar (Ku Jiu), apply thickly to the affected area. Pain stops within half a day. Another prescription: Treats wandering swelling and various carbuncles. Mix mustard seed powder with pig bile to form a paste, apply to the affected area, changing it three times daily. *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*: Treats wind-stroke where the patient suddenly cannot speak. Boil mustard seeds in vinegar, apply around the neck, wrap with cloth, and recover within one day and night.
