(出便产须知)
班水蛭及虻虫。乌头附子配天雄。野葛水银并巴豆。牛膝薏苡与蜈蚣。三棱代赭芫花
麝。
大干蛇蜕黄雌雄。牙硝芒硝牡丹桂。槐花牵牛皂角同。半夏南星与通草。瞿麦干姜桃仁通。
砂干漆蟹甲爪。地胆茅根莫用好。
(一首出本草)
小肠膀胱属太阳。 本羌活是本乡。三焦胆与肝包络。少阳厥阴柴胡强。大肠阳明并足
胃
。葛根白芷升麻当。太阴肺脉中焦起。白芷升麻葱白乡。脾经少与肺部异。升麻兼之白芍详
。少阴心经独活主。肾经独活加桂良。通经用此药为使。岂有何病到膏肓。
药有六味。陈久者良。野狼茱半橘。枳实麻黄。
野狼毒。茱萸。半夏。橘皮也。
本草名言十八反。半蒌贝敛芨攻乌。
谓半夏。栝蒌。贝母。白芨。白蔹。与乌头相攻。
藻戟遂芫俱战草。
海藻。大戟。芜花。甘遂。俱与甘草相反。
诸参辛芍叛藜芦。
苦参。人参。沙参。玄参。细辛。芍药。俱与藜芦相反。凡汤药丸散中不可合用也。若
要令反而吐者则不忌也。
硫黄元是火之精。朴硝一见便相争。水银莫与砒相见。野狼毒最怕密陀僧。巴豆性裂最为
上。偏与牵牛不顺情。丁香莫与郁金见。牙硝难合京三棱。川乌草乌不顺犀。人参又忌五灵脂。
官桂善能调冷气。若逢石脂便相欺。大凡修合看逆顺。炮 炙爆要精微。
（出自《便产须知》）
水蛭和虻虫相畏。乌头、附子与天雄相畏。野葛、水银与巴豆相畏。牛膝、薏苡仁与蜈蚣相畏。三棱、代赭石与芫花相畏，麝香亦在其中。
大干蛇蜕、黄雌雄（指黄药子和黄丹或类似矿物药，此处依原文直译）相畏。牙硝、芒硝与牡丹皮、肉桂相畏。槐花、牵牛子与皂角相畏。半夏、南星与通草相畏。瞿麦、干姜与桃仁相畏。
砂仁、干漆与蟹甲爪（鳖甲）相畏。地胆、茅根不宜同用。
（一首出自《本草》）
小肠和膀胱属于太阳经。本羌活是本经的主药。三焦、胆与心包络属于少阳经，柴胡是少阳经的强效药。大肠、阳明经和足胃经，葛根、白芷、升麻应当使用。太阴肺脉从中焦起始，白芷、升麻、葱白适宜。脾经用药与肺部略有不同，需详加斟酌升麻兼用白芍。少阴心经以独活为主治。肾经用独活加上肉桂疗效好。通经使用这些药物作为引经使药。难道有什么病能深入到膏肓（比喻病位深重难治）呢？
药物有六味，陈久存放的较好。这六味是：野狼毒、吴茱萸、半夏、橘皮、枳实、麻黄。
野狼毒、茱萸、半夏、橘皮也。（注：此处原文似有重复或列举性质，依文意翻译）
本草中有名言“十八反”。半夏、栝蒌、贝母、白及、白蔹攻击乌头。
意思是半夏、栝蒌、贝母、白及、白蔹与乌头相互攻伐（相反）。
海藻、大戟、芜花、甘遂都与甘草交战（相反）。
海藻、大戟、芜花、甘遂都与甘草相反。
各种参类、细辛、芍药背叛藜芦。
苦参、人参、沙参、玄参、细辛、芍药都与藜芦相反。凡是汤药、丸药、散剂中不可合用。如果要利用这种相反作用来催吐，则不在此禁忌之列。
硫黄原本是火的精华。朴硝一见它就互相争斗。水银不要与砒霜相见。野狼毒最怕密陀僧。巴豆性烈裂最为上乘。偏偏与牵牛子情性不合。丁香不要与郁金相见。牙硝难以与京三棱合用。川乌、草乌不顺从犀角。人参又忌讳五灵脂。官桂善于调理冷气。如果遇到赤石脂就会相互欺侮（相克）。大凡药物配伍要看逆顺关系，炮制、炙烤、爆炒等工艺要精细微妙。
(From *Bian Chan Xu Zhi*)
Shuizhi (Leech) and Mengchong (Tabanid Fly Larva) are incompatible. Wutou (Aconite Root), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), and Tianxiong (Lateral Root of Aconite) are incompatible. Yege (Gelsemium), Shuiyin (Mercury), and Badou (Croton Seed) are incompatible. Niuxi (Achyranthes Root), Yiyiren (Coix Seed), and Wugong (Centipede) are incompatible. Sanleng (Sparganium Rhizome), Daizhe (Haematitum), and Yuanhua (Kadua Flower) are incompatible, along with Moxiang (Musk).
Dagan Shetie (Snake Slough), Huangcihong (likely referring to specific mineral/herbal preparations, literally "Yellow Male/Female") are incompatible. Yaxiao (Mirabilite), Mangxiao (Glauber's Salt), Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark), and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) are incompatible. Huaihua (Sophora Flower), Qianniu (Pharbitis Seed), and Zaojiao (Tamarisk Fruit) are incompatible. Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Nanxing (Arisaema Rhizome), and Tongcao (Tetrapanax Pith) are incompatible. Qumai (Dianthus Herb), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), and Taoren (Peach Kernel) are incompatible.
Sharen (Amomum Fruit), Ganshen (not explicitly listed but implied in context of incompatibility lists, here strictly translating text: Sharen, Ganqi (Dry Lacca), and Xiejiazhu (Turtle Shell)) are incompatible. Didan (Euphorbia Kansui Root? Note: Text says Didan, usually refers to Euphorbia kansui or similar toxic root, but later mentions Kansui separately. Here translated as Didan) and Maogen (Imperata Rhizome) should not be used together well.
(A verse from *Bencao*)
Xiaochang (Small Intestine) and Pangguang (Urinary Bladder) belong to the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel. Benqianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome) is its native herb. Sanjiao (Triple Burner), Dan (Gallbladder), and Xinbaoluo (Pericardium) belong to the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) channel; Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) is potent for them. Dachang (Large Intestine), Yangming (Yang Brightness) channel, and Zuwei (Foot-Stomach) channel: Gegen (Kudzu Root), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica), and Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome) should be used. Taidin (Taiyin) Lung meridian originates from the Middle Jiao; Baizhi, Shengma, and Congbai (Scallion Stem) are suitable. Spleen meridian medication differs slightly from the Lung; Shengma combined with Baishao (White Peony Root) requires careful consideration. Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) Heart meridian is primarily governed by Duhuo (Angelica Pubescens). Kidney meridian benefits from Duhuo plus Rougui (Cinnamon Bark). Using these herbs as Shi (Guiding Agents) for unblocking meridians, what disease could reach Gaohuang (Deep-seated disease)?
There are six medicinal substances that are better when aged: Yelangdu (Metapleurus Radix), Zhuyu (Cornus Fruit), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Juapi (Citrus Peel), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange), and Mahuang (Ephedra Herb).
Yelangdu, Zhuyu, Banxia, and Juapi.
The *Bencao* contains the famous saying on "Eighteen Incompatibilities" (Shiba Fan): Banxia, Lou, Bei, Lian, Ji attack Wu.
This means Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Baiji (Bletilla Rhizome), and Bailian (Lilium Bulb) are antagonistic to Wutou (Aconite Root).
Zao, Ji, Sui, Yuan all battle Cao.
Zaocao (Sargassum), Daji (Euphorbia Pekinensis), Yuanhua (Kadua Flower), and Gansui (Euphorbia Kansui Root) are all incompatible with Gancao (Licorice Root).
Various Shen (Ginsengs), Xin, Shao rebel against Lilu.
Kushen (Sophora Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Shashen (Adenophora Root), Xuanshen (Scrophularia Root), Xixin (Asarum Root), and Shaoyao (Peony Root) are all incompatible with Lilu (Veratrum Root). They must not be combined in decoctions, pills, or powders. However, if one intends to induce vomiting using this antagonistic effect, then it is not prohibited.
Liuhuang (Sulfur) is originally the essence of Fire. Puxiao (Mirabilite) contends upon seeing it. Shuiyin (Mercury) must not meet Pifen (Arsenic Trioxide). Yelangdu (Metapleurus Radix) fears Mituoseng (Litharge) the most. Badou (Croton Seed) has a splitting nature and is supreme; it is particularly incompatible with Qianniu (Pharbitis Seed). Dingxiang (Clove) must not meet Yujin (Curcuma Root). Yaxiao (Mirabilite) is difficult to combine with Jing Sanleng (Sparganium Rhizome). Chuanwu (Chuanwu Aconite) and Caowu (Caowu Aconite) do not accord with Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn - note: now substituted with Buffalo Horn in practice, but text says Xi). Renshen (Ginseng Root) also avoids Wulingzhi (Trogopterus Dung). Guanzi Gui (Cinnamon Bark) is good at regulating cold qi; if it meets Shizhi (Red Halloysite), they will deceive each other (be incompatible). Generally, compounding drugs requires observing reverse and顺 (harmonious) relationships; processing methods such as roasting, frying, and popping must be refined and subtle.
