（燕肉/燕窝相关描述修正：原文此处指代不明或为笔误，结合上下文“燕肉不可食”，前文“甘淡...”段实为对某种食材的描述，但最后两句明确说“燕肉不可食”。根据《本草分经》体例，此段前部分“甘淡...此皆治之”通常指代前文未列名的药材或泛指，但最后一句“燕肉不可食”是对燕窝食用的禁忌说明。注：原文结构较为松散，此处按字面翻译。）
味甘、淡，性平，大补肺阴，开胃气，化痰止咳，补益而兼清泄，所有因肺虚不能清肃下行导致的疾病，均可治疗。燕肉不宜食用，会损害人的神气。
(Beishashen, *Glehniae Radix*) Sweet and slightly bitter, cool in nature. It specifically tonifies Lung Yin and clears Lung fire; it is suitable for cases where the Metal element (Lung) is subjected to Fire punishment. Nanshashen (*Adenophorae Radix*) has the same efficacy but is slightly weaker in strength.

(Huangqi, *Astragali Radix*) Sweet and warm, ascending and floating in action. It tonifies Lung Qi and warms the Sanjiao, strengthens the Spleen and Stomach, consolidates the Couli (interstices), drains ministerial fire, and releases muscle-layer heat. For those with Qi deficiency who find it difficult to sweat, it can induce sweating; for those with deficient exterior and profuse sweating, it can stop sweating. Raw use drains fire; honey-fried use tonifies the Middle Jiao. It is an essential herb for internal support in treating sores and carbuncles, but it may cause stagnation in the Stomach.
(Baiji, *Bletillae Rhizoma*) Bitter and acrid, neutral in nature, with astringent properties entering the Lung meridian. It stops hematemesis, removes blood stasis, generates new blood, and can restore damaged lungs. It treats traumatic injuries, scalds, burns, sores, and carbuncles.

The outer green skin of the shell is used to press oil, which darkens hair.
