菠菜性冷，有微毒。能通利五脏，疏通肠胃积热，解除酒毒。服用丹石类药物的人食用它很好。北方人吃肉类和面食后，菠菜性质平和；南方人吃鱼、鳖、水和米饭后，菠菜则显得寒冷。不可多食，否则会寒凉大小肠。长期食用会导致双腿无力无法行走。引发腰痛，不能与蛆虫鱼（指某种易致病的鱼类或腐肉）同食。引发霍乱引起的呕吐腹泻。〔嘉祐本草补遗〕

菠菜性大寒，无毒，但有微毒。能降下热风气，治疗小儿骨蒸劳热。男子不可长期食用，会诱发陈旧性疾病，损伤经络气血，导致双脚冰冷麻木，损伤腰肾，使面色减少光泽。服用丹石类药物的人食用它，可以化解石药的热力。产于海州，登州、莱州、沂州、密州都有出产，生长在海边。又能解除面部热气。〔嘉祐本草补遗〕
菠菜性平，有微毒。补益中气，降逆下气，调理脾气，去除头风，通利五脏。寒气重者不可多食，会扰动气机。原本患有腹部寒冷的人，食用必定导致腹痛破裂。将菠菜茎烧成灰淋出的汁液，用来洗衣可使衣服洁白如玉色。〔嘉祐本草补遗〕

Spinach is cold in nature and slightly toxic. It promotes the free flow of the five Zang organs, unblocks heat in the intestines and stomach, and resolves alcohol toxicity. It is beneficial for those taking Dan Shi (cinnabar and other mineral drugs). For northerners who consume meat and wheat noodles, its effect is neutral; for southerners who consume fish, turtle, water, and rice, it appears cold. It should not be consumed in excess, as it can chill the large and small intestines. Long-term consumption causes weakness in the legs, making walking difficult. It may induce lower back pain and should not be eaten together with "quyu" (a type of fish prone to causing disease or rotten meat). It can induce Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) with vomiting and diarrhea. [Jiayou Bencao Supplement]
Spinach is cold in nature and non-toxic. It treats yellowing of the face and eyes, strengthens physical power, relieves fatigue, and when applied externally, treats snake and insect bites. Additionally, applying spinach juice to Ding Zhong (carbuncle swelling) helps expel the root of the toxin. When silkworm moths are hatching, one must absolutely not pick or break spinach, lest the moth larvae turn blue and rot. Women raising silkworms should also avoid eating it. Wild bitter vegetables, after being picked five or six times, become sweeter and smoother than domestic varieties, which is very good. [Jiayou Bencao Supplement]
Spinach is extremely cold in nature, non-toxic, but slightly toxic. It descends hot wind-qi and treats Xiao'er Gu Zheng Re Lao (pediatric bone-steaming consumptive fever). Men should not consume it for a long time, as it may trigger chronic diseases, damage the meridians, blood, and qi, cause coldness and numbness in the feet, injure the waist and kidneys, and diminish facial luster. Those taking Dan Shi (mineral drugs) eat it to reduce the heating power of the stones. It is produced in Haizhou, and also found in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Yizhou, and Mizhou, growing near the sea. It can also resolve heat in the face. [Jiayou Bencao Supplement]
Spinach is neutral in nature and slightly toxic. It tonifies the middle Jiao, directs rebellious Qi downward, regulates Spleen Qi, removes Tou Feng (head wind), and benefits the five Zang organs. Those with Cold Qi should not eat much, as it moves Qi. Those who previously suffered from abdominal coldness will definitely experience abdominal rupture/pain if they eat it. Ash from spinach stems mixed with water can be used to wash clothes, making them white as jade. [Jiayou Bencao Supplement]

Stir-fry until cooked, take with wine. Although beneficial, excessive consumption may reduce medicinal efficacy. Meng Shen." [Ben Cao Gang Mu]
