润肺止嗽
甘平。润肺宁心，清热止嗽，益气调中，止涕泪（涕泪，肺肝热也。经曰∶肺为涕，肝
为泪，心为汗，脾为涎，肾为唾），利二便。治浮肿胪胀，痞满寒热，疮肿乳痈，伤寒百合
病（行住坐卧不安，如有鬼神状。苏颂曰∶病名百合，而用百合治之，不识其义。李士材曰
∶亦清心安神之效耳。朱二允曰∶久嗽之人，肺气必虚，虚则宜敛。百合之甘敛，胜于五味
之酸收）。花白者入药。
俗作萝卜
宣，行气，化痰，消食
辛甘属土。生食升气，熟食降气。宽中化痰，散瘀消食（丹溪曰∶气升则食自降）。治
吐血衄血，咳嗽吞酸，利二便，解酒毒，制面毒、豆腐积（昔有人病，梦红裳女子引入宫殿，
小姑歌云∶五灵楼阁晓玲珑，天府由来是此中，惆怅闷怀言不尽，一丸莱菔火吾宫。一道士
云∶此犯大麦毒也。女子心神，小姑脾神。《医经》∶莱菔制面毒，遂以药并莱菔治之，果
愈。腐浆见莱菔则难收）。生捣治噤口痢，止消渴，涂跌打汤火伤。多食渗血，故白人髭发
（服何首乌、地黄者忌之，生姜能制其毒。夏月食其菜数斤，秋不患痢，冬月以菜叶摊屋瓦
上，任霜雪打压，至春收之，煎汤饮，治痢得效。有人避难入石洞中，贼烧烟熏之，口含莱
菔一块，烟不能毒。嚼汁濡水饮之亦可。王荆公患偏头痛，捣莱菔汁，仰卧，左痛注右鼻，
右痛注左鼻，或两鼻齐注，数十年之患。二注而愈）。
莱菔子辛入肺，甘走脾，长于利气。生能升，熟能降。升则吐风痰，散风寒，宽胸膈，
发疮疹；降则定痰喘咳嗽，调下痢后重，止内痛（皆利气之功。丹溪曰∶莱菔子治痰，有冲
墙倒壁之功。《食医心境》研汤煎服，治气嗽痰喘吐脓血）。炒用。
润肺，止咳
味甘，性平。能滋润肺脏、安定心神，清除热邪、停止咳嗽，补益正气、调和脾胃，止住鼻涕和眼泪（鼻涕和眼泪过多，是肺和肝有热的表现。医经说：肺对应鼻涕，肝对应眼泪，心对应汗液，脾对应口水，肾对应唾液），通利大小便。治疗身体浮肿、腹部胀满、胸脘痞闷伴寒热症状、疮疡肿毒及乳痈。治疗伤寒引起的百合病（患者坐立行走都不得安宁，神情恍惚好像见到了鬼神一样。苏颂说：病名叫百合，用百合来治它，我不明白其中的道理。李士材说：这也是因为百合具有清心安神的功效罢了。朱二允说：长期咳嗽的人，肺气必然虚弱，虚证适宜收敛。百合的甘缓收敛之性，比五味子的酸涩收敛更好）。白色的花入药。
俗称萝卜
宣散，行气，化痰，消食
味辛、甘，属性属土。生吃能升发气机，熟吃能降逆气机。宽中理气、化痰，散瘀血、助消化（丹溪说：气机上升则食物自然下降）。治疗吐血、鼻出血、咳嗽吞酸，通利大小便，解酒毒，制约面食毒性、化解豆腐积滞（从前有人生病，梦见穿红衣服的女子把他引入宫殿，小姑唱歌唱道：“五灵楼阁晓玲珑，天府由来是此中，惆怅闷怀言不尽，一丸莱菔火吾宫。”一位道士说：这是中了大麦的毒。女子代表心神，小姑代表脾神。《医经》记载：莱菔能制伏面毒，于是用药配合莱菔一起治疗，果然痊愈。豆浆遇到莱菔就难以凝固）。生捣汁服用治疗噤口痢，止渴，外涂治疗跌打损伤、烫伤和火烧伤。多吃会耗损血液，所以会导致白人变白胡须头发（服用何首乌、地黄的人忌食，生姜能制约它的毒性。夏天吃几斤这种菜，秋天就不会患痢疾；冬天把菜叶摊在屋瓦上，任凭霜雪打压，到春天收集起来，煎汤饮用，治疗痢疾有效。有人避难进入石洞中，贼人烧烟熏他，他嘴里含着一块莱菔，烟雾不能毒害他。嚼碎汁液加水喝也可以。王荆公患有偏头痛，捣取莱菔汁，仰卧，左侧头痛注药于右鼻孔，右侧头痛注药于左鼻孔，或者两鼻孔同时注入，治愈了数十年的顽疾。两次注入就好了）。
莱菔子味辛入肺经，味甘走脾经，擅长利气。生用能升提，熟用能沉降。升提则能吐出风痰，疏散风寒，宽畅胸膈，透发疮疹；沉降则能平息痰喘咳嗽，调理痢疾后的里急后重，止住内痛（这些都是利气的功效。丹溪说：莱菔子治疗痰症，有冲墙倒壁般的威力。《食医心境》记载研末汤煎服用，治疗气嗽痰喘吐脓血）。炒用。
Moisten the lungs and stop coughing.
Sweet, neutral in nature. It moistens the lungs, calms the mind (Shen, 神), clears heat, stops coughing, supplements healthy qi (Zheng Qi, 正气), harmonizes the middle jiao (Middle Burner, 中焦), and stops rhinorrhea and lacrimation (Excessive rhinorrhea and lacrimation indicate heat in the Lung and Liver meridians. The Classics state: The Lung manifests as rhinorrhea, the Liver as lacrimation, the Heart as sweating, the Spleen as saliva, and the Kidney as thick saliva). It promotes urination and defecation. It treats edema, abdominal distension, epigastric fullness with alternating chills and fever, sores, carbuncles, and mastitis. It treats Baihe Bing (Lily Disease) caused by Cold Damage (characterized by restlessness in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, with a hallucinatory sensation as if possessed by spirits. Su Song said: "The disease is named after the lily, and treated with the lily; I do not understand the rationale." Li Shicai said: "This is due to the efficacy of clearing the heart and calming the spirit." Zhu Eryun said: "Patients with chronic cough inevitably have deficient Lung Qi; deficiency requires astringency. The sweet astringency of Baihe is superior to the sour astringency of Wuweizi"). White flowers are used for medicinal purposes.
Commonly known as Radish.
Dispersing, promoting Qi circulation, resolving phlegm, aiding digestion.
Pungent and sweet, associated with the Earth element. Raw consumption raises Qi, while cooked consumption descends Qi. It broadens the middle, resolves phlegm, disperses blood stasis, and aids digestion (Danxi stated: "When Qi rises, food digestion naturally follows"). It treats hematemesis, epistaxis, coughing with acid regurgitation, promotes urination and defecation, detoxifies alcohol, counters the toxicity of wheat flour, and resolves tofu accumulation (Once, a person fell ill and dreamed of a woman in red leading him into a palace, where a younger sister sang: "Wu Ling Pavilion is exquisite at dawn, Tian Fu has always been here. Sorrowful and stifled feelings remain unspoken, one pill of Laifu sets my palace ablaze." A Daoist priest said: "This is poisoning from large barley." The woman represents the Heart Spirit, and the younger sister represents the Spleen Spirit. The Medical Classics record: Laifu counters flour toxicity. Thus, medicine was administered together with Laifu, resulting in a cure. Soy milk fails to coagulate when encountering Laifu). Freshly crushed juice treats Jin Kou Li (Jin Kou Dysentery, dysentery accompanied by inability to eat or drink), stops thirst, and topical application treats traumatic injuries, scalds, and burns. Excessive consumption depletes blood, causing white hair and beard in previously dark-haired individuals (Contraindicated for those taking He Shou Wu [Polygoni Multiflori Radix] and Di Huang [Rehmanniae Radix]; Ginger can counteract its toxicity. Eating several catties of this vegetable in summer prevents dysentery in autumn. In winter, spread the leaves on roof tiles to be subjected to frost and snow; collect them in spring, decoct in water, and drink to effectively treat dysentery. Someone seeking refuge in a stone cave was smoked out by bandits; holding a piece of Laifu in his mouth prevented smoke toxicity. Chewing the juice and drinking it with water also works. Wang Jinggong suffered from hemicephalic headache. Crushed Laifu juice was instilled into the nostrils while supine: right nostril for left-sided pain, left nostril for right-sided pain, or both simultaneously. This cured his decades-long affliction after two applications).
Laifu Zi (Radish Seed) enters the Lung meridian via its pungency and travels to the Spleen via its sweetness; it excels at promoting Qi movement. Raw use raises Qi, while cooked use descends Qi. Raising Qi induces vomiting of wind-phlegm, disperses wind-cold, broadens the chest and diaphragm, and erupts sores/rashes; Descending Qi settles phlegm-wheezing and coughing, regulates tenesmus after dysentery, and stops internal pain (All these effects stem from its Qi-promoting action. Danxi stated: "Laifu Zi treats phlegm with the power to crash through walls and topple battlements." *Shi Yi Xin Jing* records grinding into powder and decocting in water to treat Qi-cough, phlegm-wheezing, and expectoration of pus and blood). Use after stir-frying.
