每人家妇女有孕则服枳壳散谓能缩胎令人易产乃大不然凡胎壮则子有力故易产村妇平日
健啖其产特易今服枳壳反致无力兼子亦气弱难养也(本草衍义)

凡人三部脉大小浮沉迟疾同等不越至数均和者虽病有寒热不解此为阴阳和平之脉纵病必

乃感小邪之气故不可深治大攻吐泻发汗苦药势过多反致危损切切禁之脉如应四时气候平均者
虽有小邪寒热此乃无妄之疾勿药有喜不可拘以日数次第强为攻发必别致大患
凡是服药，药气与食气不希望相互混杂。当食物消化后，再服用药物；如果药物已经散去（被代谢或吸收），再进食。各种药物有饭前服和饭后服的区别，都必须仔细审察这一点。（出自《琐碎录》）
大凡药物中，酸味能滋养骨骼，辛味能滋养筋脉，咸味能滋养血脉，苦味能滋养气，甘味能滋养肌肉，滑利之性能滋养孔窍。
狐臭患者大腿内侧及阴部怕湿发臭，或者因此生疮。用青木香好醋浸泡后夹在腋下，即可痊愈。（出自《外台秘要方》）
百草灰主治腋臭以及金创（金属利器造成的创伤）。在五月五日采集露水收集百草，取一百种草药阴干，烧成灰，再用井花水反复揉团，烧至白色，用浓醋调和做成饼状，夹在腋下，干了就更换。如果感到全身疼痛闷胀，疮口出脓血时就停止，用水和小便清洗患处。不超过两三次。另外也主治金创止血生肌。取草灰和锻石（煅石膏或类似矿物药）做成团块，烧至白色，刮下粉末敷在疮上。
每个家庭中，妇女怀孕时往往服用枳壳散，说它能收缩胎儿使生产容易，这完全不对。凡是胎儿强壮则孩子有力，所以容易生产。乡村妇女平时胃口好，她们的生产特别容易。现在反而服用枳壳，导致无力，加上孩子也气弱难以养育。（出自《本草衍义》）
世间有很多病患，亲朋好友交游前来探视询问病情。这些人曾经没有经验，也没有读过医方，却自以为是地装作明白，谈论一些异端邪说。有的说是虚证，有的说是实证，有的说是风邪，有的说是蛊毒，有的说是水饮，有的说是疾病，纷纷谬论，种种不同。这会破坏病患的心意，让人不知道谁是对的，拖延病情，时机不等人，最终导致祸患，各自散走。因此非常需要好人以及好的名医，能够识别病情的深浅，探究医理的奥妙，博览古今方书，对各类事情都明白理解的人来看病。如果不是这样，就会大大误事。（出自孙真人《千金方》）
凡是人的三部脉（寸、关、尺）大小、浮沉、迟疾同等，节律均匀平和，虽然患有寒热病症不能立即解除，但这是因为阴阳和平的脉象。即使生病也必定痊愈。这是感受了小邪之气，所以不可进行深度治疗，不可猛烈攻伐，如催吐、泻下、发汗或使用过于苦寒的药物，药势过多反而会危及生命，务必禁止。脉象如果顺应四时气候，平均调和，虽然有小邪引起的寒热，这是无妄之疾（非因自身过失或严重内伤引起的疾病），不服药反而会有喜（好转），不可拘泥于日数次第强行攻发，否则必定招致大祸。
Whenever taking medicine, the qi of the medicine and the qi of food should not be desired to meet. When the qi of food has been digested, then take the medicine; when the qi of the medicine has dissipated, then eat food. Various medicines have distinctions between taking them before or after meals, all of which must be carefully examined. (From *Sui Lu*)
Generally speaking, among medicines: sour flavor nourishes the bones, pungent flavor nourishes the tendons, salty flavor nourishes the vessels, bitter flavor nourishes the qi, sweet flavor nourishes the flesh, and slippery nature nourishes the orifices.
For patients with osmidrosis (fox odor) where the inner thighs and genital area are afraid of dampness and emit a foul smell, or sores develop there, soak Qingmuxiang (Indigofera tinctoria Root / Akebiae Caulis - *Note: Context suggests aromatic herb for odor, often interpreted as Indigo root or similar in ancient texts, here kept as Pinyin/English generic if specific ID ambiguous, but WHO standard for Qingmu Xiang is usually Indigo Naturalis or related. However, strictly "Qingmuxiang" refers to *Akebiae Caulis* or *Indigofera*. In context of axillary odor, it might refer to an aromatic application. Let's use standard term:* Qingmuxiang [Akebiae Caulis / Indigo Root depending on era interpretation, here literal translation]) soaked in good vinegar and placed in the armpit, it will heal. (From *Waitai Miyao Fang*)
Baicao Hui (Ash of Hundred Herbs) primarily treats axillary osmidrosis and Jinchuang (metal weapon wounds). Collect dew on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, gather one hundred types of herbs, dry them in the shade, burn them into ash, knead repeatedly with Jinghua Shui (well water), burn until white, mix with strong vinegar to form cakes, place in the armpit, change when dry. If whole-body pain and stifling sensation occur, stop when pus/blood comes out from the sores, wash with water and urine. Not exceeding two or three times. It also primarily treats Jinchuang to stop bleeding and generate flesh. Take the ash and Duanshi (Calcined Gypsum / Burnt Stone) to form balls, burn until white, scrape the powder and apply to the sores.
In every household, pregnant women often take Zhike San (Bitter Orange Powder), claiming it can shrink the fetus and make delivery easy. This is completely incorrect. Generally, if the fetus is robust, the child has strength and thus delivery is easy. Village women who eat heartily daily find their delivery particularly easy. Now, taking Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) instead leads to weakness, and combined with the child's weak qi, makes nurturing difficult. (From *Bencao Yan Yi*)
In the world, many patients have relatives, friends, and acquaintances come to inquire about their illness. These people have no experience and have not read any medical formulas, yet they boast of their understanding, pretending to be knowledgeable, discussing heterodox theories. Some say it is deficiency (Xu), some say it is excess (Shi), some say it is wind (Feng), some say it is gu poison, some say it is water retention, some say it is disease. Their confused statements vary greatly, destroying the patient's mind, leaving them unsure of what is correct. They delay treatment; time does not wait for people, leading to disaster, and then everyone scatters. Therefore, it is crucial to have good people and excellent famous doctors who can recognize the depth of the disease, explore the mysteries of medical texts,博览古今 (extensively study past and present), and understand all matters clearly to examine patients. Otherwise, great mistakes will be made in human affairs. (From Sun Taizhen's *Qianjin Fang*)
If the pulse at the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) is equal in size, floating/sinking, slow/rapid, and regular without exceeding the normal count, and harmonious, even if the patient suffers from cold-heat symptoms that do not resolve immediately, this is because the pulse indicates Yin-Yang harmony. Although ill, recovery is certain. This is due to contracting minor pathogenic qi, so deep treatment and vigorous attack (such as emesis, purgation, sweating, or excessive bitter/cold medicines) must be strictly prohibited, as excessive medicinal force will endanger life. If the pulse responds to the four seasons' climate and is balanced, even with minor cold-heat caused by slight pathogens, this is a "Wuwang Zhi Ji" (disease arising from non-negligible external factors/minor causes). Taking no medicine may bring joy (recovery). Do not rigidly adhere to days or sequences to forcibly attack and expel, otherwise major disasters will inevitably follow.
