论述:其主治功效应当属于上品药材,但不解为何被列在下品。在二月、三月长出嫩叶时,可以制作腌菜或煮熟食用,也有渣滓,可以作为生菜食用,这些也可以生吃,民间都写作“芹”字。
【唐慎微考证】芹菜花,味苦。主治脉溢(血管破裂出血)。出自无用条。
味甘、辛,性温,无毒。主治心腹胀满,能降气、消食,作为调味使用,香气类似橘皮,但没有苦味。生长在水泽旁边,幼苗像鬼针草、荠菜等,花青白色;种子黄黑色,像防风子。(新附)
味甘,性寒,无毒。主治消渴病(糖尿病类症状)、热痹(关节红肿热痛)。性质寒凉,又说是冷,有补益作用,能降气,与鲤鱼一起煮羹,也能逐水消肿。但性质滑利,服食养生者不可多吃。
【唐慎微考证】长期食用非常适宜人体。与鲫鱼一起煮羹,食用它,主治胃气虚弱不能进食的人,效果极佳。也适宜老年人,这应该在上品中。
名为丝,味甜,体质柔软;霜降以后,到十二月,名为环,味苦,体质涩,取来煮羹,胜过杂菜。
味酸,性寒,无毒。主治滑中散热。果实成熟时,主治使面色悦泽。又名天葵;又名繁露。又名承露,人家多种植它。叶子只可食用,性质冷滑,人吃了之后,如果被狗咬伤作疮,终身不愈。它的种子紫色,女人用它浸泡后敷面作为假色,不入药用。
味酸,性平,无毒。主治多年恶疮不愈。五月五日正午采集,晒干,使用时应当烧成灰。这种菜人们用来煮羹。五月五日采集,晒干,烧成屑,治疗各种恶疮,有效。也可以混合百草采集,不必仅限于这一种。
【唐慎微考证】这种草,就是鸡肠草,都不出自正经记载。而两处说法不同,多生长在湿地坑渠旁边,一名百滋草。流俗通称为鸡肠,雅士总称为蘩蒌。《尔雅》中物重名的,都说是一物两名。
