薤（小根蒜）：味道辛，性质温，无毒。
薤的叶子像韭菜，稍微宽一些且表面光滑，根部白色的品质较好。与牛肉一起食用，会形成瘕积（腹内结块）。它能消除寒热、调和脾胃，去除水气，消散结聚，治疗久痢和冷性腹泻。对于阳明经气机阻滞，能散血安胎；治疗赤白带下、风寒引起的水肿、骨刺卡在喉咙里。红色的薤与蜂蜜混合，捣碎后外敷于金创（金属利器造成的伤口），即可痊愈。
薤禀受火和金的气化而生，味道辛，性质温，所以其性被认为有毒。它入足阳明胃经、足太阴脾经、足厥阴肝经。辛温之性能驱除邪气、发散病邪，走窜全身无处不到，所以主治祛除风邪，杀灭毒瓦斯，去除寒湿，消散痈肿，化解积聚，温暖脾胃，运行各种气机，去除癣疾，止住霍乱，解除温疫。虽然它能顺气利膈，但辛温太过，长期食用会损伤精神，耗散气机，消耗血液，眼睛昏花、气虚血弱的人尤其要禁忌食用。外涂皮肤会导致起泡，进入肠道搜刮清理的作用也就可想而知了。
葫（即大蒜）：气味大温，属水，有毒。入药以独头蒜为佳。与黄连制成丸剂可治疗肠风（便血），加入平胃散可治疗噎气（吞咽困难或气逆），塞入两个鼻孔，可提出卡在鱼骨；炙烤后敷于初生的肿疡痈疽，可以消散；敷于蛇虫咬伤的疮口，可消除劳疟（慢性疟疾）和癖积（腹内结块），辟除瘟瘅疫病，制约蛇犬咬伤。中脘穴部位突然感到冷痛，嚼食即可缓解；旅途中忽然中暑毒，用此可驱除。鼻出血不止，捣烂敷于脚心，左鼻出血涂右脚心，右鼻出血涂左脚心，双侧鼻出血则双脚心都涂，仍可解蛊毒，杀虫。华佗用它吐出蛇形虫毒，更能化解肉积，消化谷物。李氏煮食，能吐出包裹着小鸡雏的涎液。性热虽然能快膈，但实际上伤害脾、肺、血，损害眼睛，不可长期食用。
瓜蒂（甜瓜蒂）：感受时令的大热，禀受地中的伏阴，所以味道苦，性质寒，有小毒。入手太阴肺经、足阳明胃经、足太阴脾经。味道极苦而性质上行涌吐，借此以吐出上焦有形的湿热停滞的水谷之物，消除身体、面部、四肢的浮肿水气以及黄疸，咳逆上气，鼻中息肉，一切湿热在上部引起的疾病。如果胃虚气弱，以及没有实邪停滞的患者食用，会损伤胃、伤害血液、耗气伤神。
甜瓜：主要治疗消渴（糖尿病症状），通利小便，消除实烦，疏通三焦壅塞。多吃治疗香港脚（脚气病）生痰，引发湿痒疮。忌食两蒂相连的瓜和沉水的瓜，后者杀人。瓜蒂可作为涌吐剂，消除多面及四肢浮肿，水气导致的咽喉暴塞，风痰杀鬼蛊疰（注：古代对某些传染病或寄生虫病的迷信称呼），止咳逆气冲。味大苦，气寒，能除黄疸湿热，湿家头痛，[原文此处似有脱漏，结合语境推测为鼻塞等症]而愈。
Xie (Allium macrostemon): Pungent in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic.
The leaves of Xie resemble those of chives but are slightly broader and smoother; the white roots are of superior quality. Consuming it with beef may lead to the formation of Jia masses (abdominal lumps). It eliminates cold and heat, harmonizes the middle jiao (digestive system), removes damp-fluid accumulation, dissipates nodules, and treats chronic dysentery and cold diarrhea. For Qi stagnation in the Yangming channel, it disperses blood and calms the fetus; it treats leukorrhea (red and white vaginal discharge), edema caused by wind-cold, and fish bones stuck in the throat. Red Xie mixed with honey and applied externally as a poultice can heal metallic wounds immediately.
Born from the Qi of Fire and Metal, with a pungent taste and warm nature, its property is considered toxic. It enters the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. Its pungency and warmth can repel evil pathogens and scatter pathogenic factors, penetrating everywhere throughout the body. Thus, it primarily expels wind pathogens, kills toxic vapors, removes cold-dampness, dissipates carbuncles and swelling, resolves accumulations, warms the spleen and stomach, promotes the movement of various Qis, treats tinea, stops cholera-like symptoms, and resolves warm epidemics. Although it can promote Qi flow and clear the diaphragm, excessive pungency and warmth mean that long-term consumption damages the spirit, scatters Qi, and depletes Blood. Individuals with blurred vision, Qi deficiency, or Blood weakness should strictly avoid eating it. Applied externally, it causes blisters on the skin; its action of scouring the intestines can be inferred.
Hu (Garlic): Strongly warm in odor and taste, associated with Water, and toxic. For medicinal use, single-clove garlic is preferred. Combined with Coptis Chinensis Pills, it treats Changfeng (blood in stool); added to Pingwei San, it treats Yeqi (dysphagia or rebellious Qi); inserted into both nostrils, it extracts fish bones; when roasted and applied, it dissipates early-stage abscesses and sores; applied to snake or insect bites, it eliminates Lao Nue (chronic malaria) and Pi masses (abdominal lumps), wards off pestilence and epidemics, and counters snake or dog bites. If sudden cold pain occurs at the Zhongwan point (CV12), chewing it provides relief; if heatstroke toxin strikes suddenly during travel, it can dispel it. For persistent epistaxis (nosebleed), apply crushed garlic to the sole of the foot: left nosebleed applies to right sole, right nosebleed to left sole, bilateral bleeding applies to both soles; it also resolves Gu poison, kills parasites. Hua Tuo used it to expel snake-shaped parasitic toxins, further resolving meat accumulations and aiding digestion. Li Shi used boiled garlic to induce vomiting of saliva containing chick embryos. Although its hot nature can benefit the diaphragm, it actually damages the Spleen, Lungs, Blood, and Eyes, and should not be consumed long-term.
Gua Di (Melon Stem/Stalk): Influenced by the intense heat of the season and endowed with hidden Yin from the earth, it is bitter in taste and cold in nature, with slight toxicity. It enters the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian. Its extreme bitterness and upward-rushing nature allow it to induce vomiting of有形 (solid/visible) damp-heat and stagnant food/fluid in the Upper Jiao. It reduces edema and fluid retention in the body, face, and limbs, treats jaundice, cough with rebellious Qi, nasal polyps, and all diseases caused by damp-heat located in the upper part of the body. However, for patients with deficient Stomach Qi and weak constitution, or those without excess pathogenic stagnation, ingestion will damage the Stomach, injure Blood, deplete Qi, and harm the Spirit.
Tian Gua (Sweet Melon): Primarily treats Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome/diabetes mellitus), promotes urination, eliminates excess irritability, and unblocks congestion in the Three Jiao. Excessive consumption treats Hong Kong Jiao (podagra/foot-gout) with phlegm generation and induces damp-pruritic sores. Avoid melons with two stems connected or those that sink in water, as the latter can be fatal. Gua Di serves as an emetic, reducing edema in the face and limbs, acute obstruction of the throat due to fluid retention, wind-phlegm, Gu Zhu (parasitic infections), and stopping cough with rebellious Qi. With a very bitter taste and cold nature, it clears jaundice and damp-heat, and cures headaches in damp-patterns [text implies resolution of nasal congestion or similar symptoms].
