车前子
味甘、咸，性寒，无毒。主治气癃（小便不通），止痛，通利水道和小便，祛除湿痹，治疗男子内伤，女子淋沥不尽、食欲不振，滋养肺脏，增强阴精。使人易于生育，明目并治疗眼睛红肿疼痛。长期服用可身体轻盈、延缓衰老。
叶及根
味甘，性寒。主治金疮（金属利器造成的创伤），止血，治疗鼻衄（流鼻血）、瘀血、血瘕（腹部结块）、下血（便血或尿血）、小便色赤，止烦渴、降逆气，驱除小虫。又名当道，一名（上音浮，下音以），一名虾蟆衣，一名牛遗，一名胜舄。生长在真定平原、沼泽、丘陵和道路旁。五月五日采集，阴干。陶隐居说：在人家房舍附近和道路上非常多。将其叶捣碎取汁服用，治疗泄精非常有效。
子，性冷而滑利，《仙经》中也服用它，能使人身体轻盈，能跳跃过河谷，不老而长生。《韩诗》却说它是树木像李子，吃它的果实，利于子孙，这是错误的。唐本注说：现在出产的开州车前子最好。臣禹锡等人谨按《尔雅》说：（植物名），马舄。马舄，就是车前。注解说：现在的车前草，叶子大穗长，喜欢生长在路边，江东人叫它虾蟆衣。疏引陆机疏说：马舄，又名车前，又名当道。喜欢在牛蹄印中生长的地方生长，所以叫车前、当道。幽州人叫它牛舌草，可以煮着吃，非常滑润。它的子治疗妇女难产。《药性论》说：车前子为君药，味甘，性平。能去除风毒，用于治疗中风热、毒风冲眼导致的眼红疼痛、障翳、头痛流泪，压制丹石毒，去除心胸烦热。叶主治泄精病，治疗尿血，能补五脏，明目，利小便，通五淋。萧炳说：车前养肝。日华子说：常山为使药，通利小便涩滞，壮阳，治疗脱精，心烦气逆。
《图经》说：车前子，生长在真定平原、沼泽、丘陵、道路旁，现在江湖、淮甸、京城附近、北方各地到处都有。春初生苗，叶子铺在地上像匙面一样，多年的长得有一尺多长像鼠尾。花很细小，青色微红。结籽像葶苈，赤黑色。五月五日采集，阴干。现在的人五月采苗，七月、八月采实。人家园圃中有人种植，蜀地尤其崇尚。北方人取根晒干，当作紫菀卖，很容易用错。谨按《周南诗》说：采采（植物名）。《尔雅》说：（植物名），马舄。马舄，就是车前。郭璞说：现在的车前草，叶子大长在路边，穗长，喜欢生长在路边，江东人叫它虾蟆衣。陆机说：马舄，又名车前，又名当道。喜欢在牛蹄印中生长的地方生长，所以叫车前、当道。幽州人叫它牛舌草，可以煮（与煮同）着吃，非常滑润。它的子治疗妇女难产就是这样。然而现在的人不再有人食用了，它的子入药最多。驻景丸用车前、菟丝子两味药，蜜丸，饭后服用，古今认为是奇方。它的叶，现在医生家生研用水送服，治疗鼻衄很好。
雷公说：凡是使用，必须是一株有九片叶子，里面有蕊，茎可长一尺二寸的，连同蕊、叶、根去土后，称有一镒重的，药效完整可以使用。只用叶不用蕊、茎，将叶切碎，在新瓦上摊开晾干使用。《圣惠方》：治疗热痢不止。捣车前叶绞取汁一盏，加入蜜一合，煎煮，温时分两次服用。又一方：治疗久患内障眼。车前子、干地黄、麦门冬等分，研为末，蜜丸如梧桐子大服用，屡试有效。《外台秘要》：治疗阴部瘙痒疼痛。车前子，用水三升煮三沸，去渣，清洗瘙痒疼痛处。又一方：治疗尿血。车前草捣碎绞取汁五合，空腹服用。《百一方》：小便不通。车前子草一斤，水三升，煎取一升半，分三次服用。又一方：治疗石淋。车前子二升。用绢袋盛装，水八升，煮取三升。不吃东西时全部服用，不久石头排出。《梅师方》：治疗妊娠患淋，小便涩，水道热不通。车前子五两，葵根切一升，两件用水五升，煎取一升半，分三次服用。《子母秘录》治疗横生不可出，车前子末，酒服二钱匕。治疗泻痢：欧阳文忠公曾得暴下，国医不能愈。夫人说：市人有此药，三文一贴非常有效。公说：我们的脏腑，与市人不同，不可服。夫人买之，以国医药杂进之，一服而瘥。后来公知之，召卖药者，浓遗之，问其方，久之乃肯传。但用车前子一味为末，米饮下二钱匕。云此药利水道而不动气，水道利则清浊分，谷脏自止矣。
《衍义》说：车前，陶隐居说：其叶捣取汁服，疗泄精。大误矣。此药甘滑，利小便，走泄精气。《经》云主小便赤，下气。有人作菜食，小便不禁，几为所误。

Nourishes the lungs, strengthens Yin and benefits essence. Enables conception, brightens the eyes, and treats redness and pain. Long-term use makes the body light and delays aging.

Mainly treats metal wounds (trauma from sharp instruments), stops bleeding, treats epistaxis (nosebleed), blood stasis, blood masses (abdominal lumps), lower bleeding (hematochezia or hematuria), dark urine, relieves thirst and irritability, directs rebellious Qi downward, and expels small parasites. Also known as Dangdao, one name is Fu Yi (upper character pronounced Fu, lower character pronounced Yi), one name is Xiamayi (toad's clothing), one name is Niuyi, one name is Shengxi. Grows in Zhenping plains, swamps, hills, and roadsides. Harvested on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, dried in shade. Tao Hongjing said: It is very common near houses and on roads. Crushing its leaves to extract juice and taking it is very effective for treating seminal emission.
The seeds are cold and purgative. The "Immortal Canon" also uses them for ingestion, claiming they make the body light, enable jumping over banks and valleys, prevent aging, and promote longevity. The "Han Shi" claims it is a tree like a plum; eating its fruit benefits offspring, which is incorrect. The "Tang Ben Zhu" states: The Cheqianzi from Kaizhou is currently the best. Minister Yuxi and others carefully note according to "Erya": [Plant Name], Maxi. Maxi is Cheqian. Commentary: The current Cheqiancao has large leaves and long spikes, prefers growing by roadsides, and people in Jiangdong call it Xiamayi. The commentary cites Lu Ji's commentary: Maxi, also named Cheqian, also named Dangdao. It likes to grow where cow tracks are, hence the names Cheqian and Dangdao. People in Youzhou call it Niushecao (cow tongue grass), which can be boiled and eaten, being very slippery. Its seeds treat difficult labor in women. "Yaoxing Lun" states: Cheqianzi is the Sovereign herb, sweet, neutral. It can remove wind-toxin, used for wind-stroke heat, toxic wind rushing to the eyes causing redness and pain, nebula, headache with tearing, suppresses Dan-shi toxicity, removes heart and chest irritability. Leaves mainly treat seminal emission disease, treat hematuria, can tonify the five Zang organs, brighten the eyes, promote urination, and unblock the five types of Lin syndrome. Xiao Bing says: Cheqian nourishes the liver. Ri Huazi says: Changshan is the Envoy herb, promotes urination for strangury, strengthens Yang, treats seminal emission, irritability, and rebellious Qi.
"Tujing" states: Cheqianzi grows in Zhenping plains, swamps, hills, and roadsides. Now it is found everywhere in Jianghu, Huaidian, near the capital, and northern regions. In early spring, seedlings emerge. Leaves spread on the ground like spoon faces; those of several years' growth reach over a chi in length like rat tails. Flowers are very fine, greenish-red. Fruits resemble Tingli, reddish-black. Harvested on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, dried in shade. Nowadays, people harvest leaves in May, fruits in July and August. Some plant it in gardens; Shu region particularly values it. Northerners dry the roots and sell them as Ziwan, often causing misuse. Carefully noting the "Shi Jing · Zhou Nan": Cai Cai [Plant Name]. "Erya" states: [Plant Name] is Maxi. Maxi is Cheqian. Guo Pu says: Current Cheqiancao has large leaves by roads, long spikes, prefers roadside growth, called Xiamayi by Jiangdong people. Lu Ji says: Maxi, also named Cheqian, also named Dangdao. Likes growing in cow tracks, hence the names. Youzhou people call it Niushecao, boilable and edible, very slippery. Its seeds treat difficult labor. However, people no longer eat it now; its seeds are most used in medicine. Zhujing Wan uses Cheqian and Tusizi, honey pills, taken after meals, considered a miraculous formula since ancient times. Its leaves, now doctors crush fresh and take with water, effectively treating epistaxis.
Lei Gong says: When using, must select a cluster with nine leaves, containing stamens, stems about one chi two cun long. Remove soil from stamens, leaves, and roots. Weigh one yi (approx. 8 liang). This potency is complete and usable. Use leaves only, not stamens or stems. Chop leaves, spread on new tile to dry. "Shenghui Fang": Treats persistent hot dysentery. Crush Cheqian leaves, squeeze out one cup of juice, add half a he of honey, decoct, take warm in two doses. Another prescription: Treats chronic internal cataracts. Cheqianzi, Sheng Dihuang, Maidong in equal parts, powder, honey pills like wutong seeds, effective upon repeated trials. "Waitai Miyao": Treats genital itching and pain. Boil Cheqianzi in three sheng of water for three boils, remove dregs, wash the itchy/painful area. Another prescription: Treats hematuria. Crush Cheqiancao, squeeze out five he of juice, take on an empty stomach. "Baiyi Fang": Urinary retention. One jin of Cheqianzi grass, three sheng of water, decoct to obtain one and a half sheng, divide into three doses. Another prescription: Treats lithiasis (stone Lin). Two sheng of Cheqianzi. Place in silk bag, boil in eight sheng of water to obtain three sheng. Take all without food; stones will pass shortly. "Meishi Fang": Treats pregnancy strangury,涩 urinary flow, heat obstruction in water passages. Five liang of Cheqianzi, one sheng of sliced Kui Gen. Boil in five sheng of water to obtain one and a half sheng, divide into three doses. "Zimu Milu" treats transverse presentation: Powder of Cheqianzi, take two qian bi with wine. Treatment for diarrhea: Ouyang Xiu once suffered acute diarrhea, imperial physicians could not cure. His wife said: A market vendor has this medicine, three wen per patch, very effective. He said: Our viscera differ from market people, cannot take it. Wife bought it, mixed with imperial physician's medicine, cured in one dose. Later he knew, summoned seller, gave generously, asked for formula, eventually transmitted. Only Cheqianzi powdered, take two qian bi with rice drink. Claims this medicine promotes water passages without moving Qi; when water passages are clear, turbidity separates, grain storage stops naturally.
"Yanyi" states: Cheqian, Tao Hongjing said: Crush leaves for juice to treat seminal emission. This is a great error. This medicine is sweet and slippery, promotes urination, leaks essence and Qi. "Classic" states it treats dark urine and directs Qi downward. Someone ate it as vegetable, lost control of urination, nearly misled by it.
