〔功效〕味甘、辛、淡,性寒。若热痰位于皮里膜外,能直达病所以宣通;若痰在经络四肢,能深入曲折之处搜剔清除。可治疗失音不语,舒缓肢体挛缩蜷曲、风痱等证候。
〔炮制〕砍伐淡竹,俗称光竹,必须选取生长刚满一年的嫩竹,质地柔嫩且药力充足,汁多味甘。去除枝叶,截去竹节,从中间劈开,架在砖上,中间用火烘烤,两头用磁盆承接流出的液体。
(此处原文似乎存在排版错乱或段落缺失,根据上下文逻辑,以下段落应分别对应不同药材的“害”、“利”、“修治”,但原文未明确标注药材名,仅按顺序处理。)
〔危害〕肺虚兼有寒邪者,对其畏惧如被毒虫叮咬。凡咳嗽是由于肺部虚寒,或因寒痰引发气喘的,禁止服用。在汤剂中使用它,容易引起呕吐,因此它能催吐蛊毒。

(参见前文补益阵相关章节)
〔危害〕味苦寒,性质滑利,血少目昏、停饮寒热支满、血虚腹痛、脾虚泄泻的患者,都不宜服用。
〔功效〕味苦咸,性寒。壮肾水以制约心火,清肺金,善于泻除无根的浮游之火,兼能明目滋阴。色黑味咸,是肾脏的重要药物。

[Benefits] Sweet, acrid, and bland in taste; cold in nature. If hot phlegm is located between the skin and fascia, it reaches directly to promote circulation; if phlegm is in the meridians and limbs, it penetrates deeply to clear it out. It can treat aphonia (loss of voice) and muteness, and relieve limb spasms, curling, wind paralysis, and other conditions.
[Processing] Cut down Danchu (Bambusa textilis), commonly known as Guangzhu. Select tender bamboo that has grown for just one year, which is soft yet potent, juicy, and sweet. Remove branches and leaves, cut off the nodes, split it lengthwise, place it on bricks, roast the middle over fire, and use ceramic basins at both ends to collect the liquid.
[Harm] For those with Lung deficiency accompanied by cold, it is feared like a sting. It should not be taken for coughs caused by Lung deficiency-cold or wheezing due to cold-phlegm. When used in decoctions, it often induces vomiting, thus it can induce vomiting to expel Gu poison.

Treats Gui Zhu (chronic infectious disease) and accumulations. Applied externally for various toxins, heat-toxema, and heat-swelling. Do not take in excess, as it may cause persistent vomiting and diarrhea.]
