得土中之阳气，味先酸涩而后甘，气温，无毒，肺胃家果也。能生津液，酒后嚼
之不渴，故主消酒解酒毒也，亦解 鲐毒。 鲐即河豚鱼也。人误食此鱼肝及子，必迷
闷至死，惟橄榄汁煮服之，必解，盖其木作楫拨，着其鱼，鱼皆浮出，物之相畏如此。
故食诸鱼被鲠，用橄榄嚼汁咽之，无橄榄时即觅核研末，急流水调服亦效。其治手抓碎
成疮，用橄榄磨浓汁，涂之，能灭瘢痕。治肠风下血，橄榄烧存性，研末每服二钱，陈
米饮调下耳。足冻疮，橄榄核烧研末，油调涂之，皆取其温行酸敛之义也。
橄榄，利咽喉止烦渴，开胃消酒食甚佳，止泻解鱼毒益妙。喉中鱼鲠，汁咽能
除，若煮饮之，尤解诸毒。然性多热多温，能致上壅。
白果二更开花，三更结实。生食戟人喉，炒食味甘苦，少食点茶餍酒，多食动风
发痰，食满一千，令人立死。阴毒之果，不可不防。古方取其仅治白浊获效，小儿初食
极易发惊。
一名乌芋。禀土金之气以生，味苦、甘，气微寒，无毒。甘寒能除热而生津，故
主消渴，苦能泄，故下痹热下丹石，消宿食治黄胆，腹胀下血，五种膈气，除胸中实热
也。
荸荠，益气而消食除热，以生津腹满须用，下血宜尝，善能杀铜，故误吞铜物者用
之。然寒凉克削，孕妇忌食。
橄榄：汲取了大地中的阳气，味道先酸涩而后回甘，药性温和，无毒，是入肺、胃经的果实。它能生津液，酒后咀嚼它不会感到口渴，因此主要用于解酒毒。它也能解除河豚鱼（鲐）的毒性。人如果误食河豚鱼的肝脏和卵，必定会昏迷甚至死亡，只有用橄榄汁煮服才能解毒，大概是因为橄榄木被用来制作船桨拨水时，若碰到这种鱼，鱼都会浮出水面，万物之间相互制约竟到了如此地步。所以，食用各种鱼类时被鱼刺卡住，可以嚼橄榄汁咽下；如果没有橄榄，就寻找其果核研成粉末，用流动的清水调服也有效。治疗手抓破后形成的疮疡，用橄榄磨成浓汁涂抹，能消除瘢痕。治疗肠风便血，将橄榄烧至存性（保留部分焦黑但保持药性），研成粉末，每次服用二钱，用陈年米汤送服即可。治疗足部冻疮，将橄榄核烧后研成粉末，用油调和涂抹，这些都是取其温通运行、酸味收敛的含义。
橄榄能利咽喉、止烦渴，开胃、消解酒食效果极佳，止泻、解鱼毒更是奇妙。喉咙中有鱼刺卡住，咽下汁液就能去除；如果煮水饮用，尤其能解除各种毒素。然而，它的性质偏热偏温，容易导致气机上壅滞。
白果在农历每月的第二更时分开花，第三更时分结果。生吃会刺激咽喉，炒熟后味道甘甜微苦，少量食用可佐茶解酒，多吃则易动风生痰，吃满一千颗，人会立即死亡。这是阴寒毒性的果实，不可不防备。古方中只取它治疗白浊（小便混浊如米泔水）有疗效，小儿初次食用极易引发惊厥。
荸荠又名乌芋。禀受土和金的气机而生，味道苦、甘，气微寒，无毒。甘寒之性能清除热邪并滋生津液，因此主要用于治疗消渴症（糖尿病类症状）；苦味能泄降，因此能下行痹阻之热、排出丹石类药物残留的热毒，消除积食，治疗黄疸、腹胀、便血、五种膈气病，以及清除胸中的实热。
荸荠能益气、消食、除热，对于因津液不足导致的腹部胀满需要使用它，对于便血适宜尝试使用，它善于化解铜毒，所以误吞铜器的人可以使用它。然而，它性寒凉且具克削之力，孕妇忌食。
Olive: It absorbs the Yang Qi from the earth, with a taste that is initially sour and astringent followed by sweetness. Its nature is warm, non-toxic, and it enters the Lung and Stomach channels as a fruit. It can generate body fluids; chewing it after drinking alcohol prevents thirst, thus it is primarily used to resolve alcohol intoxication and detoxify alcohol. It also resolves the toxicity of pufferfish (Tai). If humans mistakenly consume the liver and roe of this fish, they will inevitably fall into a coma and die; only decocting and taking olive juice can resolve the toxicity. This is likely because when olive wood is used to make oars for rowing, if it touches such fish, the fish float to the surface; the mutual restraint among things is so profound. Therefore, when choked by fish bones while eating various fishes, one can chew olive juice and swallow it. If olives are unavailable, one can find the pits, grind them into powder, and take them mixed with running water, which is also effective. For treating sores caused by scratching hands, grinding olives into thick juice and applying it externally can eliminate scars. To treat intestinal wind bleeding, burn olives until they retain their medicinal properties (charred but retaining essence), grind into powder, take two qian per dose, and wash down with aged rice water. For frostbite on the feet, burn olive pits, grind into powder, mix with oil, and apply; all these applications utilize its meaning of warming circulation and astringency.
Olives benefit the throat, relieve irritability and thirst, open the appetite, and digest food and alcohol excellently; stopping diarrhea and resolving fish toxicity is particularly miraculous. For fish bones stuck in the throat, swallowing the juice removes them; if boiled and drunk, it especially resolves various toxins. However, its nature is largely hot and warm, which can cause upward congestion.
Ginkgo nuts (Bai Guo) bloom at the second watch of the night and bear fruit at the third watch. Eating them raw irritates the throat; roasted, they taste sweet and bitter. Consumed in small amounts, they accompany tea and resolve alcohol intoxication; consumed in large amounts, they stir wind and generate phlegm. Eating up to one thousand pieces causes immediate death. These are fruits of Yin toxicity and must be guarded against. Ancient formulas only utilized them for treating white turbidity (leukorrhea or cloudy urine) with efficacy; children consuming them for the first time are prone to convulsions.
Water chestnut (Bi Qi), also known as Wu Yu, is born inheriting the Qi of Earth and Metal. Its taste is bitter and sweet, its nature is slightly cold, and it is non-toxic. The sweet and cold nature clears heat and generates fluids, thus it primarily treats polydipsia (wasting-thirst syndrome); the bitter nature drains downward, thus it directs bi-heat downward, expels residual heat from Dan Shi minerals, eliminates retained food, treats jaundice, abdominal distension, bloody stool, five types of diaphragmatic qi disorders, and clears excess heat in the chest.
Water chestnuts tonify Qi, digest food, and clear heat. They are necessary for abdominal distension due to fluid deficiency, suitable for trying in cases of bloody stool, and good at neutralizing copper toxicity, hence used for those who accidentally swallow copper objects. However, being cold and cooling with a draining nature, pregnant women should avoid eating them.
