一名鱼腥草

发明 鱼腥草方药罕用。近世仅以煎汤薰涤痔疮，及敷恶疮白秃。又治咽喉乳鹅，捣取
自然汁灌吐顽痰殊效。《别录》主蠼 尿疮，又云多食气喘，患香港脚人勿食。《千金》言，

辟诸虫毒、疮毒。即治痔疮，亦是湿气生虫之患，专取秽恶之气，以治秽恶之疾，同气相感
之力也。
味甘，微苦，性平，无毒。
【发明】翻白草出自《救荒本草》，楚地人称之为“湖鸡腿”，淮地人称之为“天藕”。李时珍说，湖鸡腿生长在靠近水泽的田地中，高度不足一尺，一根茎上有三片叶子，叶片尖长而浓密，表面有皱纹和锯齿，叶面青绿色，叶背白色，四月开小黄花，结出的种子像胡荽子（香菜籽），里面含有细小的种子，根部形状像台术（一种中药材），两头尖，剥去红色的外皮后，内部呈白色如同鸡肉，吃起来有粉质感，小儿可以生吃。在饥荒之年挖掘它来混合米饭食用，儿科治疗痘疮拔毒的方剂中也使用它，是取其凉润解毒的功效。
俗名奶汁草，苗高一尺余者品质优良。
味甘，性平，无毒。
【发明】蒲公英属土，开黄花，味甘。能解除食物毒素，消散停滞之气。但必须用新鲜的蒲公英捣碎取汁，与酒混合服用，治疗乳痈（急性乳腺炎）效果迅速。服用后想睡觉是其药效的验证，微微出汗即可痊愈。
一名藤葵，又名燕脂菜，俗名染绿子。
味酸，性寒，滑利，无毒。
【发明】落葵蔓生，叶子圆润浓密如同杏叶。果实类似五味子，青色成熟后变为紫色，各地都有生长，揉搓可取出红色汁液，女人用来装饰面部、点涂嘴唇，以及染布帛。称为胡胭脂，也称染绿子，但时间久了颜色容易改变。《名医别录》说它能滑利肠道、散发热邪。李时珍说，它能通利大小肠。种子仁可制作面部护肤膏，与白蜜调和涂抹，面色立刻显得鲜丽。
一名鱼腥草。
味辛，微温，有小毒。
【发明】鱼腥草在方药中很少使用。近代仅用它煎汤熏洗痔疮，以及外敷恶疮和白秃（头癣）。又用于治疗咽喉肿痛和乳蛾（扁桃体炎），捣取自然汁灌服以催吐顽痰，效果显著。《名医别录》主治蠼螋尿疮（一种皮肤溃烂），又说多吃会气喘，患有香港脚（足部疾病/脚气）的人不要食用。《千金方》说，素有香港脚病的人吃了它，一生都不能痊愈。李时珍说，它能散热毒、治疗痈肿、脱肛和痢疾，解卤水之毒。综合上述各种治疗作用，总离不开驱避各种虫毒、疮毒。即使是治疗痔疮，也是湿气生虫引起的病患，专门利用其秽恶的气味，来治疗秽恶的疾病，这是同气相感的作用力。
Sweet, slightly bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Invention] Fanbai Cao (Potentilla discolor) originates from *Jiu Huang Ben Cao* (Compendium of Plants for Famine Relief). People in Chu call it "Hu Ji Tui" (Lake Chicken Leg), and people in Huai call it "Tian Ou" (Heavenly Lotus Root). Li Shizhen said: "Hu Ji Tui grows near marshy fields, is less than one chi high, has three leaves per stem, with pointed, long, and dense leaves featuring wrinkles and serrated edges; the upper surface is green and the underside is white. It blooms small yellow flowers in April, producing seeds resembling Coriandrum sativum seeds (Husu Zi), containing fine seeds inside. The root resembles Atractylodes lancea (Taizhu), pointed at both ends. After peeling off the red skin, the interior is white like chicken meat and feels starchy when eaten; children can eat it raw. In years of famine, it is dug up and mixed with rice for food. It is used in pediatric formulas for extracting toxins from smallpox sores, owing to its cooling, moistening, and detoxifying properties."
Commonly known as Naizhi Cao (Milk Juice Grass); those with seedlings over one chi in height are of good quality.
Sweet, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Invention] Pugongying (Taraxacum officinale) belongs to Earth, blooms yellow flowers, and tastes sweet. It resolves food toxicity and disperses stagnant Qi. However, fresh plants must be crushed to extract juice and taken mixed with wine; it acts rapidly in treating Rup Yong (Acute Mastitis). Sleepiness after ingestion is a sign of its efficacy, and recovery occurs with slight sweating.
Also named Teng Kui, alternatively Yan Zhi Cai, commonly known as Ran Lü Zi.
Sour, cold, slippery, non-toxic.
[Invention] Luokai (Malva verticillata) grows by creeping vines, with round, dense leaves resembling apricot leaves. Its fruit resembles Schisandra chinensis (Wu Wei Zi), turning purple when ripe from green; it is found everywhere. Rubbing it yields a red juice like rouge, which women use to decorate their faces and lips, and to dye fabrics. It is called Hu Yan Zhi (Barbarian Rouge) or Ran Lü Zi, but the color fades easily over time. *Bie Lu* states it lubricates the intestines and dissipates heat. Li Shizhen said it promotes urination and defecation. The seed kernels can be made into facial cream; when mixed with white honey and applied, the complexion becomes radiant immediately.
Also named Yuxing Cao (Houttuynia cordata).
Pungent, slightly warm, slightly toxic.
[Invention] Yuxing Cao is rarely used in prescriptions. In recent times, it is only decocted for fumigation and washing of hemorrhoids, and applied externally to malignant sores and tinea capitis (Bai Tu). It is also used to treat sore throat and tonsillitis (Ru E); crushing it to obtain natural juice and inducing vomiting to expel stubborn phlegm shows remarkable efficacy. *Bie Lu* treats wounds caused by earwig urine, and notes that excessive consumption causes asthma; those suffering from Hong Xiang Jiao (Podagra/Foot Qi) should avoid eating it. *Qian Jin Fang* states that individuals with pre-existing Hong Xiang Jiao will never recover if they consume it. Li Shizhen said it dissipates heat and toxin, treats carbuncles and swelling, rectal prolapse, and dysentery, and resolves halogen toxicity. Summarizing these treatments, they all revolve around repelling insect toxins and sores. Even treating hemorrhoids addresses issues caused by dampness generating parasites; specifically utilizing its foul odor to treat foul diseases demonstrates the power of sympathetic resonance between similar energies.
