味甘，性微寒。主要功效是消除小腹部的水肿胀满，通利小便，缓解口渴。
应在霜降后采收，存放多年后，剖开果实取出种子，用水洗净，干燥，然后研磨取仁使用。冬瓜性质寒凉滑利，能解毒，治疗消渴症，缓解心烦闷乱，直接捣碎、绞取汁液服用即可。
味苦，性寒，有毒。主治全身严重水肿，身体、面部及四肢浮肿，能引导水湿下行，杀灭蛊毒，治疗气逆咳嗽，以及食用各种水果后消化不良、病邪滞留胸腹部的情况，均通过催吐或泻下的方法治疗。还能去除鼻中息肉，治疗黄疸。其花，主治心痛和气逆咳嗽。生长在嵩山高地和平原地带，七月七日采收，阴干。
瓜蒂多用未成熟的青色瓜蒂，这里说七月七日采收，指的是甜瓜的瓜蒂。人们也有使用成熟瓜蒂的，催吐效果并无不同，这里仅讨论瓜蒂的主治功效。现在的瓜类大多性质寒凉滑利，未成熟的青色瓜更是如此。成熟的瓜有几种，除去瓜瓤食用不伤人，如果觉得吃多了，或者瓜非常大，现在通常立即采摘储藏多年再食用。还有二次成熟的瓜，以及越瓜，人们用来制作腌菜，食用时也偏寒凉，都不是药用部位。《博物志》记载：水淹到脖子时，吃无数瓜果。又说斑瓜花有毒，分开采集它，瓜皮能杀虫。
味甘，性寒，无毒。主治五脏六腑的寒热病症，身体消瘦虚弱，五种淋证（排尿困难），通利小便，治疗妇人乳汁不通、内闭不通，长期服用能坚固骨骼，充实子宫。十二月采收。
黄芩作为它的引经药。
味甘，性寒，无毒。主治恶疮，治疗淋证，通利小便，解蜀椒之毒。葵叶，是百菜之主，但其心会伤害人体。
以秋季种植葵菜，覆盖养护经过冬天，到春天结籽，称为冬葵，多入药使用，其性滑利，能排出石淋。春季种植的葵子也滑利，但不适合其他药用。根部，就是普通的葵菜。叶子尤其寒凉滑利，不可多吃。道家养生家取这种葵子，轻微炒至爆裂，撒在湿地上，遍踏之后。早晨种植傍晚就生长，最快不过一夜。又有人说取羊角、马蹄烧成灰，撒在湿地上，就能生出罗勒，俗称西王母菜，食用对人有益。生菜中，又有胡荽、芸苔、白苣、邪蒿，都不可多吃，大体上服药期间忌讳吃生菜。佛家斋戒，忌讳食用薰渠，不知道是什么菜？多说现在是芸苔，憎恶其臭味罢了。
〔谨案〕罗兰香，是为了避石勒的名讳才改名的。又说薰渠，婆罗门语说是阿魏，言此草苗根像白芷，取根汁暴晒如胶状，或截断根晒干，气味极臭。西域持咒人禁止食用它。日常饮食中使用它，说是去除臭味。戎人重视这个，就像世俗中珍贵胡椒、巴人重视负等一样，不是芸苔。

Melon stalks are mostly used when green and immature; here, harvesting on the seventh day of the seventh month refers to the stalk of sweet melons. People also use ripe melon stalks; the emetic effect is no different. This text only discusses the therapeutic indications of the stalk. Current melons are generally cold and purgative, especially the early green ones. Ripe melons have several varieties; removing the pulp allows safe consumption. If one feels they have eaten too much, or if the melon is very large, it is now customary to harvest immediately, store for years, and eat later. There are also second-ripening melons and Yue melons, which people pickle; these are also cold in nature when eaten but are not medicinal parts. *Baowu Zhi* records: "When water reaches the neck, eat countless melons."

Plant mallow in autumn, cover and nurture through winter, producing seeds in spring, called Dong Kui (Winter Mallow); mostly used medicinally, its nature is slippery and purgative, capable of expelling stone strangury. Spring mallow seeds are also slippery but unsuitable for other medicinal uses. The root is ordinary mallow. Leaves are particularly cold and purgative, should not be eaten in excess. Daoist practitioners take these mallow seeds, stir-fry lightly until popping, scatter on wet ground, and trample evenly. Planted in the morning, sprouts by evening, fastest within one night. Another saying is to burn sheep horns and horse hooves into ash, scatter on wet ground, and basil will grow, commonly called Xi Wangmu Cai, beneficial to eat. Among raw vegetables, there are coriander, turnip rape, white lettuce, and xie hao, all should not be eaten in excess; generally, taking medicine requires avoiding raw vegetables. Buddhist fasting prohibits eating Xunqu, unknown what vegetable it is? Many say it is now turnip rape, despising its odor.
[Note] Luo Lan Xiang was renamed to avoid the taboo of Shi Le. Also, Xunqu, according to Brahmanical terms, refers to Asafoetida, described as having roots resembling Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi); extracting root juice and sun-drying yields a gum-like substance, or drying cut roots, both extremely odorous. Western sorcerers prohibit eating it. Used in daily diet to remove bad odors. Barbarians value this, just as commoners value black pepper or Ba people value Fu Deng; it is not turnip rape.
