骨碎补，生长在江南地区，如今在淮、浙、陕西、夔路等州郡也有分布。根生长在大树或石头上，多位于背阴处，根系延伸成条状，上面附有黄毛和短叶。还有叶片较大呈枝状；叶面青绿色，带有黄色斑点；叶背青白色，带有赤紫色斑点；春季生叶，到冬季干枯变黄；不开花结果。只有根部入药。采集没有固定时间。使用时削去毛刺。本名胡孙姜，唐明皇因为发现它对治疗折伤有奇效，所以改名为骨碎补。蜀地人治疗闪挫骨折及筋骨损伤，取根捣碎筛粉，用黄米粥调和，包裹患处效果良好。又用于治疗耳聋，将根削成细条，用炮火加热，趁热塞入耳中。也用于妇女气血病症。又名石毛姜。
马兜铃，生长在关中地区，如今在河东、河北、江淮、夔、浙等州郡也有分布。春季生长，藤蔓状，叶子像山芋叶；六月开黄紫色花，很像枸杞花；七月结果实，大小如枣；形状像铃铛，分为四、五瓣。其根名为云南根，类似木香，粗细如小指，颜色赤黄，也称为土青木香。七月、八月采集果实，晒干。主治肺病。三月采集根部，治疗气滞胸膈下部，缓解刺痛。
仙茅，生长在西域及大庾岭，如今在蜀川、江湖、两浙各州也有分布。叶子青色像茅草但较软，稍宽，叶面有纵向纹理；又像棕榈树，到冬天全部枯死，初春才重新生长；三月开出像栀子花一样黄色的花，不结果实；其根独茎直立，旁边附有短细根，肉质黄白色，外皮稍粗糙呈褐色。二月、八月采集根部晒干使用。衡山出产的仙茅花开碧色，五月结黑色种子。谨按《续传信方》记载仙茅说：主治五劳七伤，明目，增强筋力，先宣通后补益。本是西域道人传授的药物。开元元年婆罗门僧人进献此药，唐明皇服用有效，当时是禁方不传。天宝之乱时，方书流散，长安城的不空三藏法师才得到此方，传授给李勉、司徒路嗣恭尚书、齐杭给事、张建封仆射服用，都很有功效。路公长期服用金石类药物无效，等到得到此药，益处百倍。齐给事镇守缙云时，每日感到气力不足，风疹接连发作，服用此药后痊愈。八、九月时采集，用竹刀刮去黑皮，切成豆粒大小，用米泔水浸泡两个晚上，阴干后捣碎筛粉，用熟蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸药，每天早晨空腹用酒送服二十丸。禁止食用牛奶及黑牛肉，否则会大大减弱药效。《续传信方》由伪唐筠州刺史王颜所著，都是依据国史编录其方剂，当时非常盛行。所以如今江南地区只称此药为婆罗门参。
Guishubu (Drynariae Rhizoma), originally growing in the Jiangnan region, is now also found in Huai, Zhe, Shaanxi, and Kui circuit prefectures. The rhizome grows on large trees or rocks, mostly in shaded areas, extending into strips with yellow hairs and short leaves attached. There are also larger leafy branches; the upper surface is green with yellow spots, while the lower surface is bluish-white with reddish-purple spots. Leaves emerge in spring and turn dry yellow in winter; it does not flower or bear fruit. Only the rhizome is used for medicine. It can be harvested at any time. Before use, the hairs must be scraped off. Its original name was Husunjiang (Monkey Ginger). Emperor Minghuang of Tang renamed it Guishubu because of its remarkable efficacy in treating fractures. In Shu, people treat sprains, fractures, and bone/tendon injuries by crushing the rhizome, sifting it into powder, mixing it with millet porridge, and applying it to the injured area, which yields good results. It is also used to treat deafness: the root is cut into thin strips, roasted over fire, and inserted into the ear while hot. It is also included in prescriptions for women's blood and qi disorders. It is also known as Shimaojiang (Stone Hair Ginger).
Madouling (Aristolochiae Fructus), originally growing in the Guanzhong region, is now also found in Hedong, Hebei, Jianghuai, Kui, and Zhe prefectures. It grows in spring, with vines resembling those of sweet potatoes; the leaves look like sweet potato leaves. In June, it opens yellow-purple flowers, somewhat similar to goji berry flowers. In July, it bears fruit the size of a jujube, shaped like a bell with four or five lobes. Its root is named Yunnan Gen (Yunnan Root), resembling Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), about the thickness of a little finger, reddish-yellow in color, and also called Tuqingmuxiang (Earth Green Aucklandia). The fruits are harvested in July and August and sun-dried. It primarily treats lung diseases. The roots are harvested in March to treat qi stagnation below the diaphragm and relieve stabbing pain.
Xianmao (Curculiginis Rhizoma), originally growing in the Western Regions and Dayu Ridge, is now also found in Sichuan, Jianghu, and Liuzhe prefectures. The leaves are green like miscanthus but softer and slightly wider, with longitudinal veins on the surface; they resemble palm leaves, dying completely in winter and regenerating in early spring. In March, it produces yellow flowers like gardenias but does not bear fruit. The rhizome has a single straight stem with short fine roots attached laterally; the flesh is yellowish-white, and the outer skin is slightly rough and brown. The roots are harvested in February and August and sun-dried. Those from Hengshan produce green flowers and bear black seeds in May. According to *Xu Chuanxin Fang* (Continued Records of Faith-Transmitting Prescriptions), Xianmao treats the five debilities and seven injuries, brightens the eyes, strengthens tendons and muscles, and acts by first promoting circulation and then tonifying. This medicine was originally transmitted by Daoist priests from the Western Regions. In the first year of Kaiyuan (713 AD), a Brahmin monk presented this herb to Emperor Minghuang, who found it effective; however, it remained a secret prescription. During the An Lushan Rebellion (Tianbao era), medical texts were scattered. Master Bukong Sanzang in Chang'an eventually obtained this prescription and passed it to Li Mian, Situ Lu Sigong, Minister Qi Hang, and Puye Zhang Jianfeng, all of whom benefited greatly. Lord Lu had taken mineral drugs for a long time without effect, but upon using this herb, his benefits increased a hundredfold. Official Qi, stationed in Jinyun, suffered from daily fatigue and recurring wind-rashes; after taking this herb, he recovered. When harvested in August or September, the black skin is scraped off with a bamboo knife, cut into bean-sized pieces, soaked in rice water for two nights, dried in the shade, pounded, and sifted. Mixed with cooked honey, it is formed into pills the size of wu zi (physalis seeds). Twenty pills are taken each morning on an empty stomach with wine. Consumption of cow's milk and black beef is prohibited, as it significantly reduces the drug's efficacy. *Xu Chuanxin Fang* was written by Wang Yan, Prefect of Yunzhou during the Later Jin period, compiling prescriptions from state records; it was highly popular at the time. Thus, in the Jiangnan region today, this herb is simply referred to as Boluomen Shen (Brahmin Ginseng).
