【发明】本品是感应铅、银、硝石的气味而形成的，其性质沉重沉降，直入下焦（人体下部），因此能够坠痰（使上逆之痰下行），截断疟疾，治疗疮疡肿毒。对于因受惊导致邪气进入心包络（保护心脏的外围组织），出现失音不能言语的症状，取密陀僧粉末一匕（古代量词，约指一勺），用茶水调匀服用即可痊愈。惊恐会导致气机紊乱，使用重镇之品可以去除怯懦并平抑肝气，但药物入口会引起恶心欲吐的感觉，这是因为其阴寒毒性的性质会损伤胃气。《圣惠方》中记载治疗鼻部赤红（酒渣鼻），将密陀僧细细研磨，用人乳调和，夜间涂抹患处。《丹方》治疗背部疮疡初起，用醋反复淬炼七次，再用桐油调和，环绕患处涂抹即可消散。与枯矾同用可治疗汗斑及体味，配合五倍子可用于染胡须，与鹰屎白同用可消除瘢痕，水磨后内服可解砒霜、硫黄的毒性。
辛味，性寒，微毒。
【发明】锡是砒的母体，所以新制造的锡器不可盛放酒过夜。制作药瓶贮藏药物时，需用旧锡掺杂铅才为佳。过去有人过量饮用烧酒后昏迷近乎死亡，有人让他们用锡器储存沸水，盖上盖子，吸取产生的蒸汽水汽饮用，人就能苏醒，这与用单布炊煮治疗汤气熏灼伤害无异，这是利用同类气息相互感应的力量。
辛味，性寒，有毒，即是将铁烧至通红沸腾时在砧板上爆裂下的碎屑。在铁锅中烧红，用醋反复淬炼七次后使用。
《神农本草经》主治风热引起的恶疮、痈疽、结痂、疥癣等病，病位在皮肤之中。
【发明】《素问》说：患有发怒狂躁病症的人，用生铁落煎汤作为饮料治疗。浸泡汁液煎煮药物，取其性质沉重下沉，降气速度最快。不可过量服用，过量服用会让人感到凛冽恶寒，因为它专门削弱阳气。《神农本草经》主治风热恶疮等疾病，都是由于肝心火热所致，辛寒的性质能清除这两条经络的热邪。苏恭将其炒热投入酒中，治疗贼风痉病（由风邪引起的痉挛性疾病），借助酒力来运行于皮肤中的气机。
酸味、辛味，无毒，是针匠打磨下来的细末。
【发明】针砂性寒而降，善于治疗湿热导致的脾劳黄病（因脾虚湿热引起的黄疸）。在铁锅中烧得通红，用醋淬炼，放置在阴凉处等待半个月，待其积聚的块状物生成，原有的铁性消除后使用，它是消除脾胃坚硬积聚、治疗黄肿病的专药。朱丹溪的温中丸中使用了它。另外，将制过的针砂一两，加入干漆灰半钱、香附三钱，配合平胃散五钱，用蒸饼制成丸剂，用汤剂或酒送服均可，治疗效果与温中丸没有区别。
Salty and pungent, neutral in nature, slightly toxic.
[Invention] This substance is formed by sensing the qi of lead, silver, and saltpeter. Its nature is heavy and sinking, directly entering the Lower Jiao (the lower burner of the Sanjiao), thus it can descend phlegm, arrest malaria, and treat carbuncles and swellings. For symptoms where fright causes pathogenic qi to enter the Pericardium (the protective membrane surrounding the heart), resulting in aphonia and inability to speak, take one bi (an ancient unit of measure, approx. a spoonful) of Mituosen powder, mix with tea water, and ingest to achieve cure. Fright causes qi disorder; using heavy sedatives removes timidity and soothes the Liver. However, upon ingestion, it induces nausea due to its yin-toxic nature damaging Stomach qi. The *Shenghui Fang* records treating nasal erythema (rosacea) by finely grinding Mituosen, mixing with human milk, and applying at night. The *Danfang* treats early-stage back carbuncles by quenching in vinegar seven times, mixing with tung oil, and applying around the affected area to dissipate. Combined with Alum, it treats tinea versicolor and body odor; combined with Chinese Gall, it dyes whiskers; combined with Eagle Droppings White, it eliminates scars; when ground with water and ingested, it resolves arsenic and sulfur toxicity.
Pungent, cold in nature, slightly toxic.
[Invention] Tin is the mother of Arsenic; therefore, newly manufactured tin vessels should not hold wine overnight. When making bottles for storing medicine, old tin mixed with lead is preferred. In the past, individuals who drank excessive distilled spirits and fell into a coma nearing death were treated by having them store boiling water in a tin vessel, covering it, and drinking the condensed steam vapor, which would revive them. This is no different from using a single cloth during cooking to treat burns from steam scalds; it relies on the power of similar qi interacting.
Pungent, cold in nature, toxic. It refers to the fragments bursting off an anvil when iron is heated until red-hot and boiling. It is used after being heated red-hot in an iron pot and quenched in vinegar seven times.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it governs foul sores, ulcers, crusts, and scabies caused by wind-heat, located within the skin.
[Invention] The *Suwen* states: "For those suffering from anger-induced mania, treat with a drink made from Shengtieluo." Soak the juice and decoct herbs with it, utilizing its heavy and sinking nature to descend qi most rapidly. Do not overdose, as excessive use causes shivering aversion to cold because it exclusively depletes Yang qi. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it governs wind-heat foul sores and other diseases, all caused by Liver and Heart fire; its pungent-cold nature clears heat from these two meridians. Su Gong fried it until hot and threw it into wine to treat Zefeng Jingbing (spastic disease caused by thief-wind/pathogenic wind), borrowing the wine to circulate qi within the skin.
Sour and pungent, non-toxic. It is the fine powder produced by needle craftsmen grinding iron.
[Invention] Zhensha is cold and descending, excellent for treating Spleen labor jaundice caused by damp-heat. Heat it red-hot in an iron pot, quench with vinegar, place in a shady spot for half a month. Once accumulations form and its original iron nature is eliminated, it becomes a specific medicine for resolving hard accumulations in the Spleen and Stomach and treating jaundice and edema. It is used in Danxi's Wenzhong Wan. Additionally, one liang of processed Zhensha, combined with half a qian of Dry Lac ash and three qian of Cyperus Rotundus, mixed with five qian of Pingwei San, formed into pills using steamed dough, and taken with decoction or wine, yields therapeutic effects indistinguishable from Wenzhong Wan.
