咸味，性温。归入足少阴肾经。治疗虚劳咳嗽，止住遗精，软化坚硬肿块，滋润三焦。是滋阴降火（滋养阴液、清降虚火）的圣药，也是还元返本（恢复元气、回归本源）的神丹。与白茯苓（Poria）、菟丝子（Cuscutae Semen）配伍，治疗遗精滑浊。与人乳粉配伍，巩固元阳。与芡实（Euryales Semen）、莲子（Nelumbinis Semen）同用，治疗肾虚导致的小便频数。多服或误服会产生燥热口渴。（因为味道咸而性质温。）
取法：准备两只干净的粪桶和数十块干净的砖头，将砖头置于桶内，让几十名男童在砖上小便，等到尿液浸透砖头后，再加一层砖，继续让他们小便，如此层层叠加，直到装满为止。再将砖块逐渐移至另一只桶中，照前法加至满桶停止。重复四五次更换位置，砖内的童便自然渗透出来。将砖块放置在阴暗的地面上，砖外会析出白色霜状物，用羽毛刷扫下，储存在瓷瓶中备用。另一种方法：取几桶童便，每桶加入一两石膏，用桑条搅拌，静置澄清后倒去上层清液。如此操作两三次。再加入一桶秋露（秋季收集的露水），搅拌均匀并澄清。像前法那样多次操作，直至杂质污秽洗净，咸味减轻去除，用厚纸铺在灰上晒干，轻清浮在上层的即为秋石，重浊沉在下层的刮去不用。
甘味，性平。归入三阴经血分。滋润五脏，通利关格（指上下不通之证）。与竹沥（Bamboo Sap）调和，治疗失音。冲兑梨汁，治疗燥痰。加入葱白汁，治疗新生儿排尿困难。加入美酒，治疗突然不能说话。浸泡桐油，涂抹疮疡。浸泡川黄连（Coptidis Rhizoma），点眼治疗眼热赤肿。脾胃湿气重、大便滑泄者，禁用此二药（指人乳及秋石相关用法，此处主要指人乳禁忌）。
取粉法：用银瓢（类似碗大的银器），倒入少许乳汁，漂浮在滚水上，用手快速转动银瓢，如同制作粉皮的方法一般，再漂浮在冷水中，待干燥后剖取粉末使用。也可用木瓢。
即人胞（胎盘）。甘、咸，性热。归入足厥阴肝经、足少阴肾经的血分。大补气血，尤其治疗癫痫。

Salty, warm. Enters the Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian. Treats consumptive cough (Lao Ke), stops seminal emission, softens hard masses, and moistens the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). It is a holy medicine for nourishing Yin and descending fire, and also a miraculous elixir for restoring original vitality and returning to one's true nature. Combined with Bai Fuling (Poria), Tusi Zi (Cuscutae Semen), it treats seminal turbidity. Paired with human milk powder, it consolidates Yuan Yang (Original Yang). Used with Qianshi (Euryales Semen) and Lianzi (Nelumbinis Semen), it treats frequent urination due to Kidney deficiency. Overconsumption or mistaken use causes dryness and thirst. (Its taste is salty and its nature is warm.)
Preparation method: Use two clean urine pots and dozens of clean bricks. Place the bricks inside the pots, allowing dozens of young boys to urinate on the bricks. Once the urine penetrates the bricks, add another layer of bricks and continue urinating. Repeat this layering process until full. Then gradually transfer the bricks to another pot, following the same method until full. Rotate this process four or five times so that the child’s urine naturally permeates through the bricks. Place the bricks in a dark place; white frost will appear on the outside of the bricks. Brush it off with a feather brush and store it in a porcelain bottle for later use. Another method: Take several pots of child’s urine. Add one tael of Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) to each pot, stir with mulberry branches, let settle, and pour off the clear liquid. Repeat this two or three times. Add one pot of Qiulu (Autumn Dew), mix well, and clarify. Perform the previous steps several times until impurities are washed away and the salty taste is reduced. Spread heavy paper on ash and sun-dry. The light and clear substance floating on top is Qiushi (Refined Urine Salt); the heavy and turbid substance at the bottom should be scraped off and discarded.
Sweet, neutral. Enters the blood aspect of the Three Yin meridians. Moistens the five Zang organs, unblocks Guan Ge (obstruction between upper and lower jiao). Mixed with Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), it treats aphonia. Mixed with Li juice, it treats dry phlegm. Added with Congbai juice (Scallion White Juice), it treats inability to urinate in newborns. Mixed with fine wine, it treats sudden aphasia. Soaked in Tongyou (Vernicia Oil), applied externally for sores. Soaked with Chuanlian (Coptidis Rhizoma), used as eye drops for hot, red, and swollen eyes. Contraindicated for those with Spleen-Stomach dampness and loose stools.
Preparation of powder: Use a silver ladle about the size of a bowl. Pour a small amount of breast milk into it, float it on boiling water, and rotate the ladle quickly by hand, similar to making rice noodle sheets. Then float it in cold water. Once dry, break it open to collect the powder. A wooden ladle may also be used.
This refers to Renbao (Human Placenta). Sweet, salty, hot. Enters the blood aspect of the Foot-Jueyin (Liver) and Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridians. Greatly tonifies Qi and Blood, especially treating epilepsy.
Break the blood vessels, wash clean with running water, steam with wine, and bake dry for use. Alternatively, cook thoroughly in child’s urine, then bake dry. Contraindicated for those with Yin deficiency and hyperactive fire.
