俗人称呼燕草，形状像茅草但有香气的是薰草，人家颇多种植它。《药录》说：叶子像麻叶，两两相对。《山海经》说：薰草，麻叶而方茎，红色的花黑色的果实，气味像靡芜，可以治疗疠风。现在市场上都用燕草，这就错了。现在的诗书家中多用“蕙”这个字，竟然不知道是什么草。只保留名字而迷失了实物，都是这一类情况。
味道甘甜，性温，无毒。主治大风邪气，湿痹寒痛。长期服用能使身体轻盈，益寿延年，抗衰老。又名冬葵子。生长在河东的川泽。
方药中也没有使用这种的，有一个固活丸，就是野葛的另一个名字罢了。这又被称为冬葵子，但不是葵菜的冬葵子，治疗的性质完全不同。

Laypeople refer to Yancao (Swallow Grass); Xuncao (Musk Grass) resembles thatch but has fragrance and is widely planted by households. *Yaolu* states: leaves resemble hemp leaves, opposite each other. *Shanhaijing* states: Xuncao has hemp-like leaves and square stems, red flowers, black fruits, and a scent like Miwu, which can treat leprosy. Currently, merchants use Yancao, which is incorrect. Scholars often use the term "Hui" in poetry and books, yet do not know what grass it refers to. They retain the name but lose the substance, all of this being similar cases.

[Note] *Bielu* also calls it Jijing (Chicken Spirit).
