味甘，性平，无毒。主治消渴病（糖尿病），身体高热，呕吐，各种痹证，能升发阴气，解除各种毒素。治疗伤寒中风引起的头痛，解肌发表出汗，开泄腠理，治疗金疮（金属利器造成的创伤），止痛，胁肋部风痛。葛根的生汁，大寒，治疗消渴病，伤寒壮热。葛谷（葛的种子），主治痢疾十年以上的患者。白葛，烧成灰后敷在疮口上，可以止痛止血；叶子，主治金疮止血。花，主治解酒毒。又名鸡齐根，又名鹿藿，又名黄斤。生长在汶山的山川河谷中。五月采集根部，晒干。
能杀野葛、巴豆、百药的毒。就是现在的葛根，人们都蒸着吃。应当选取入土深且大的根，破开并晒干。新鲜的捣碎取汁饮用，可解温病发热。其花和小豆花一起烘干研末，服用方寸匕的量，饮酒后不会醉。南康、庐陵一带出产的最为优良，肉质多而筋少，甘甜美味。但作为药用，则不及这一带的好。
五月五日正午时分，取葛根研成粉末，治疗金疮止血是重要的药物，也治疗疟疾和疮疡，效果很好。
【谨案】葛谷，就是葛的种子，陶弘景没有提到这一点。葛虽然能除毒，但其根入土五、六寸以上的部分，名为葛 ， 颈也，服用会让人呕吐，因为它有微毒。将根研成末，主治狗咬伤，同时饮用其汁液效果良好。藤蔓烧成灰，用水送服方寸匕，主治喉痹。
味苦，微寒，无毒。主治痰湿壅满，胸胁部痞塞，心腹部结气，风邪头痛，去除痰实，降气。治疗伤寒寒热往来，推陈致新，明目益精。
二月、八月采集根部，晒干。
半夏为其使药，厌恶皂荚，畏惧藜芦。前胡类似柴胡但质地柔软，治疗作用大致相同。而《本经》上品中有柴胡却没有此药。后来的医生才使用它，也有禁忌和相畏相恶的关系，说明禁忌并非全部出自《本经》。这种药近道都有生长，生于潮湿之地，产于吴地……
Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats *xiaoke* (wasting-thirst disease, often corresponding to diabetes), high fever of the body, vomiting, various *bi* syndromes (obstruction syndromes characterized by pain and stiffness), promotes the rise of yin qi, and resolves various toxins. It treats headache caused by *shanghan* (cold damage) or wind-stroke, releases the muscle layer and induces sweating through the exterior, opens the interstices (*couli*), treats metal wounds (*jinchuang*), relieves pain, and addresses wind-pain in the hypochondrium. The fresh juice of Pueraria is extremely cold; it treats wasting-thirst and severe fever from *shanghan*. The seeds of Pueraria (*gegu*) primarily treat dysentery persisting for over ten years. White Pueraria, when burned to ash and applied to sores, stops pain and bleeding; its leaves primarily stop bleeding from metal wounds. Its flowers primarily resolve alcohol intoxication. It is also known as *Jiqigen*, *Luhuo*, and *Huangjin*. It grows in the mountains and valleys of Wen Mountain. The roots are harvested in May and dried in the sun.
It can neutralize the toxicity of wild Pueraria, croton seeds, and poisons from a hundred herbs. This refers to the current Pueraria root, which people typically steam and eat. One should select roots that penetrate deep into the soil and are large, break them open, and dry them. Fresh ones are crushed to extract juice for drinking, which resolves heat from warm diseases. A mixture of its flowers and small soybean flowers, dried and powdered, taken in a dose of one *cunbi* (a square-inch measure), prevents drunkenness after consuming alcohol. The best quality comes from the Nankang and Luling regions; they are fleshy with few fibers and taste sweet and delicious. However, for medicinal use, they are inferior to those from this region.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month at noon, Pueraria root is processed into powder. It is an essential medicine for stopping bleeding from metal wounds and is also effective for malaria and sores, yielding excellent results.
[Note] *Gegu* refers to the fruit/seeds of Pueraria, which Tao Hongjing did not mention. Although Pueraria can resolve toxins, the part of the root penetrating five to six cun into the soil is named "Ge Jing" (neck of Ge); ingesting it causes vomiting due to its slight toxicity. Root powder treats dog bites, and drinking its juice is beneficial. Vines burned to ash, taken orally with water in a dose of one *cunbi*, treat throat obstruction (*houbi*).
Bitter in flavor, slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats phlegm-fullness, chest and hypochondriac stagnation, knotting of qi in the heart and abdomen, wind-induced headache, expels phlegm-solidity, and directs qi downward. It treats alternating chills and fever from *shanghan*, pushes out the old to generate the new, brightens the eyes, and benefits essence.
Roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the sun.
Pinellia (*Banxia*) acts as its guide drug; it is incompatible with soap pod (*Zaojia*) and fears veratrum (*Lilu*). *Qianhu* resembles *Chaihu* but is softer in texture, and its therapeutic effects are nearly identical. However, the *Shennong Bencao Jing* lists *Chaihu* among the upper grade but omits this herb. Later physicians began using it; there are also contraindications and mutual aversions, indicating that such interactions do not all originate from the *Bencao Jing*. This herb is commonly found along local roads, growing in damp places, originating from the Wu region...
