【薄荷】
味辛，性微寒，无毒，入肺经。主治中风失音，下焦胀气，去除头风，通利关节，破血止痢，清风消肿，引导诸药进入营卫，能够发散毒邪之汗，清利六阳经交汇之首部，祛除各种热性病邪中的风邪。
按语：薄荷具有走表（发散肌表）的功效，适宜主管太阴经的领域，中风的各种病症，确实是它的专长。而血痢这种证候，病机在于气血凝滞，如今借助其辛味以通畅气机，那么凝结阻滞自然得以解除。
【蒲公英】
味苦，性温，有小毒，入肝、肾二经。补益元气，祛除风湿，强健筋骨，促进眉毛头发生长，使胡须鬓发变黑，明亮耳目。用酒送服效果良好，九月九日采收者最佳。
按语：功效验证如上，适宜主管厥阴、少阴二经。高邮军认为其性温，这是正确的！本草书中说其性寒，与主要用途相违背，难道不是错误吗？长期服用大能补益，所以张咏进献御前奏表说道：“金棱银线，素根紫茎，谁知在极其低廉之物中，竟隐藏着非凡的珍品，臣服用百剂后，耳目变得聪明；逐渐服用满一年，胡须再次变黑。”罗宁一次坠马导致中风，没想到服用十剂就痊愈了。僧人知严七十岁时口眼歪斜，服用几剂后立刻痊愈。像张益州这样的人，可以说是认识了它的用处！应当去掉根部，连同茎叶细细切碎，捣烂取汁，熬炼成膏，再用甘草、熟地黄煎煮成膏，用炼蜜三味收膏，除去火毒，用酒调服，功效奇妙无法详尽叙述。所谓“有小毒”，是因为生用令人呕吐。现在既然经过炮制加工，那么毒性去除而功效保全了。
【蒲公英续/或指另一品种】
味苦甘，性寒，无毒，入脾、胃二经。化解热毒，消除恶疮结核，解食毒，散滞气。细细切碎，同忍冬藤一起取汁加入酒中，用来治疗乳痈，服用后想睡觉，这就是它的作用，睡醒之后，病就好了。
按语：丹溪说：“蒲公英花黄属土，适宜入太阴、阳明经。”有一种花、叶、茎相似但植株高大的，不是真的。真正的蒲公英短小贴地，质地轻脆，折断后有白色汁液，花朵干枯后像葱管一样中空的就是真品。四季常开花，花谢后结实，絮中有种子，落在哪里就在哪里生长，这就可见它禀受了天地中和的性质，所以能治疗各种毒症。又被称为黄花地丁的，是以治疗疔毒而闻名。
[Mentha Haplocalyx (Bohe)]
Pungent in taste, slightly cold in nature, non-toxic, enters the Lung Meridian. It primarily treats aphonia due to wind-stroke, abdominal distension below, removes head wind, unblocks and benefits joints, breaks blood stasis and stops dysentery, clears wind and reduces swelling, guides various herbs into the Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) levels, can induce sweating to expel toxins, clears and benefits the meeting point of the six Yang meridians at the head, and dispels wind pathogens among various heat pathogens.
Commentary: Bohe has the function of moving outward to the exterior, suitable for managing the Taiyin domain; it is indeed its specialty for various wind-stroke conditions. As for blood dysentery, the pathology lies in stagnation and coagulation; now, benefiting from its pungency to smooth Qi flow, the coagulated stagnation naturally resolves.
[Taraxacum Mongolicum (Pugongying)]
Bitter in taste, warm in nature, slightly toxic, enters the Liver and Kidney meridians. It tonifies original Qi, dispels wind-dampness, strengthens sinews and bones, promotes growth of eyebrows and hair, darkens beard and sideburns, and brightens ears and eyes. It is best taken with wine, harvested on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
Commentary: The efficacy is as described above, suitable for managing the Jueyin and Shaoyin meridians. The military command of Gaoyou considers its nature to be warm, which is correct! Materia Medica texts state its nature is cold, which contradicts its primary uses; is this not an error? Long-term consumption greatly tonifies and benefits. Therefore, Zhang Yong presented a memorial to the Emperor stating: "Gold edges, silver lines, white roots, purple stems, who would know that within extremely humble things lie extraordinary treasures? This subject consumed a hundred doses, resulting in clear hearing and sight; after gradually consuming for a full year, the beard turned black again." Luo Ning suffered a wind-stroke after falling from a horse and unexpectedly recovered after ten doses. Monk Zhiyan, at seventy years old with facial paralysis (deviation of mouth and eye), recovered instantly after several doses. One like Zhang Yizhou could be said to understand its application! The root should be removed, and the stems and leaves finely chopped, pounded to extract juice, then boiled down into a paste. Using Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (Shudihuang) decocted into paste, and refined honey to consolidate the three ingredients, remove fire toxicity, and take mixed with wine, the efficacy is wondrous and cannot be fully described. The so-called "slightly toxic" refers to raw usage causing vomiting. Now that it has undergone processing, the toxicity is removed while the efficacy is preserved.
[Potentilla Anserina or similar species (continued description of Pugongying context)]
Bitter and sweet in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic, enters the Spleen and Stomach meridians. It transforms heat toxins, eliminates malignant sores and scrofula, resolves food poisoning, and disperses stagnant Qi. Finely chop, combine with Lonicerae Japonicae Caulis (Rendongteng) to extract juice, add to wine, to treat mastitis. Sleepiness after ingestion indicates its action; upon waking, the illness is resolved.
Commentary: Danxi stated: "The yellow flowers of Pugongying belong to Earth, suitable for entering the Taiyin and Yangming meridians." There is a variety with similar flowers, leaves, and stems but taller stature, which is incorrect. The true plant is short and prostrate to the ground, light and brittle in texture, exudes white juice when broken, and its dried flowers are hollow like scallion tubes. It blooms throughout the four seasons, sets seed after flowering, contains seeds in the fluff, and grows wherever it falls, revealing its endowment with the harmonious nature of Heaven and Earth, thus treating various toxins. Also known as Huanghua Diding, it is famous for treating ding sores (carbuncles).
