【轻粉】
味辛，性冷，具有燥性和毒性。能劫夺痰涎，消除积滞，杀灭寄生虫，善于进入经络。不可轻易服用。现在人们用它治疗杨梅毒疮（梅毒），能使邪气从牙龈排出。然而，如果毒邪深入经络筋骨，导致血液耗竭，大多会形成顽固性疾病。只有土茯苓能够解除其残留的毒邪。粉霜的功效与轻粉大致相同。
【水银/汞制剂】
味苦，性寒，有毒。攻逐瘀血，在经络中遍行。色青入肝，极容易导致堕胎。
【麝香】
味咸，性寒，药性猛烈且善于走窜。入肝、胃经，功效专门在于行散，能够出入阴阳，贯穿经络，进入营分以破除结聚之邪，直达病所。具有通经下乳、消肿溃痈、止痛排脓、和伤发痘的功效，是治疗风病、疟疾、疮疡科的重要药物。
【牛黄】
味甘、咸，性温，药性走窜。内走脏腑，外彻皮肤，透骨搜风，截断惊厥、定止抽搐。治疗风湿、瘫痪、疥癞等症，以及皮骨中毒的情况，应当去除干净。
【羚羊角】
功用与蕲蛇（五步蛇）相同，但无毒而药力较浅，体型大的羚羊角药力更弱。
【冰片】
味辛、咸，性温，属木。宣疏五脏，通行十二经脉，行气祛风破积，治疗风湿、痰饮等各种疾病。药性极其快速利落，对于积滞久治不愈者服用有效。但是，它大走真气、耗伤血液，使用应当详细审慎。
【熊胆】
味甘、苦，性温。发汗散风湿，上通脑顶，下行足膝，外达皮肤。治疗头面各种疾病、遍身瘙痒，用于去刺。采集根部煎熬制成的名为“万应膏”，功用大致相同。
【麝香（再次描述或指代相关麝制品）】
味辛香，善于走窜，体温用凉。先入肺经传于心脾，然后透骨通窍，疏散郁火，辟邪消风化湿。风病在骨髓者适宜使用；如果在血脉肌肉，则误用冰片、麝香反而会引风入骨，无法排出。
【朱砂】
味辛，发散，性平。发汗解肌，通上下阳气而活血解毒。白色者性冷，青色者性热。取白色者同蜜食用会杀人，青色叶子用于治疗水肿引起的足肿。
【麝香（门子）】
味辛，性温，香气走窜。开通经络，通达诸窍，内透骨髓，外彻皮毛，搜风。治疗各种风病、各种气病、各种血病、果积、酒积，辟邪解毒杀虫。风在肌肉者误用之，反而引风入骨。使用当门子（麝香中的核心部分）效果尤佳。
[Qingfen (Calomel)]
Pungent, cold, dry, and toxic. It seizes phlegm-saliva, eliminates accumulations, kills parasites, and penetrates meridians. It should not be taken lightly. Currently, people use it to treat yángméi dú chuāng (syphilis), forcing pathogens out through the gums. However, if toxins enter the meridians and bones, causing blood depletion, they often become chronic diseases. Only Tufuling (Smilax Glabra Rhizome) can resolve these lingering toxins. Fenshuang (White Precipitate) is similar in action.
[Shuiyin / Mercury]
Bitter, cold, and toxic. It attacks blood and circulates throughout the meridians. Its green color enters the Liver; it strongly induces abortion.
[Shexiang (Musk)]
Salty, cold, with a fierce nature that moves rapidly. It enters the Liver and Stomach channels. Its function is specifically to move and disperse; it can enter and exit Yin and Yang, penetrate meridians, enter the Ying (Nutritive) level to break up stagnation and pathogenic factors, reaching the disease site directly. It unblocks menstruation, promotes lactation, reduces swelling, suppurates carbuncles, relieves pain, expels pus, harmonizes injuries, and promotes eruption of sores. It is an essential herb for treating wind disorders, malaria, and dermatological conditions.
[Niu Huang (Calculus Bovis)]
Sweet, salty, warm. It has a moving nature. Internally, it travels through the Zang-Fu organs; externally, it permeates the skin. It penetrates bones to search out wind, stops convulsions, and arrests spasms. It treats wind-dampness, paralysis, scabies, and leprosy, as well as toxicity in the skin and bones; impurities should be removed completely.
[Lingyang Jiao (Saiga Antelope Horn)]
Its functions are the same as Qishe (Five-Step Snake), but it is non-toxic and its potency is weaker. The potency of larger horns is even less.
[Bingpian (Borneol)]
Pungent, salty, warm, associated with Wood. It disseminates and soothes the five Zang organs and circulates through the twelve meridians. It moves Qi, dispels wind, and breaks up accumulations. It treats various diseases such as wind-dampness and phlegm-fluid retention. Its nature is extremely rapid and penetrating; it is effective for accumulations that have not healed after long treatment. However, it greatly depletes True Qi and consumes Blood, so its use requires careful consideration.
[Chansu (Toad Venom)]
See "Bladder Powder" formula.
[Xiong Dan (Bear Bile)]
Sweet, bitter, warm. It induces sweating and disperses wind-dampness. It ascends to the top of the head, descends to the feet and knees, and reaches the skin externally. It treats various diseases of the head and face, generalized itching, and is used to remove splinters. Extracted from the root and boiled into a paste, it is called Wanying Gao (Ten-Thousand-Indication Ointment); its functions are roughly the same.
[Shexiang (Musk - specific context)]
Pungent and aromatic, good at moving. Its temperature is cool when used. It first enters the Lung channel and transmits to the Heart and Spleen, then penetrates bones and opens orifices to disperse stagnant fire, repel evil, eliminate wind, and transform dampness. It is suitable for wind disorders located in the bone marrow. If used for wind in the blood vessels and muscles, using Bingpian (Borneol) and Shexiang (Musk) instead will draw wind into the bones, from which it cannot be expelled.
[Zhusha (Cinnabar)]
Pungent, dispersing, neutral. It induces sweating, releases the muscle layer, unblocks Yang Qi above and below, invigorates blood, and resolves toxicity. White [cinnabar] is cold; green [cinnabar] is hot. Taking white cinnabar with honey is fatal. Green leaves are used to treat edema and foot swelling caused by water disorders.
[Xionghuang (Realgar)]
See "Lung Powder" formula.
[Shexiang (Musk - Menzi/Core)]
Pungent, warm, aromatic, and moving. It opens meridians and unblocks all orifices. Internally, it penetrates the bone marrow; externally, it permeates the skin and hair. It searches out wind and treats various wind, Qi, and Blood disorders, as well as fruit and alcohol accumulations. It repels evil, resolves toxicity, and kills parasites. If wind is in the muscles and misused with this, it may draw wind into the bones. Using Dangmenzi (the core pellet of musk) yields superior results.
