补中益气，脾肺均宜。健脾运而中宫不燥。滋胃阴而胸膈不泥。润肺而不犯寒凉、养血而不偏滋腻。中气微弱、气短心悸。食少便溏、体倦易疲。鼓午清阳，常服有济。
补益中焦之气，提升元气，对脾脏和肺脏都适宜。能增强脾胃的运化功能，使中焦（脾胃）不干燥；滋养胃阴，使胸膈部位不滞塞。滋润肺部但不侵犯寒凉之性，养血但不偏向滋腻碍胃。适用于中气虚弱、呼吸短促、心慌心跳。食欲不振、大便稀溏、身体疲倦容易疲劳。升举清阳之气，经常服用有益处。
党参功同人参，而力量较薄，但能久服、可无大弊。
党参的功效与人参相同，但药力较为薄弱，然而可以长期服用，不会产生大的弊端。
味甘，性微温，无毒。入肺、脾二经。茯苓为使。恶龟甲、白藓皮。嫩绿色者佳。蜜炙透。
味道甘甜，性质微温，没有毒性。归入肺经和脾经。以茯苓作为引导药（使药）。忌与龟甲、白鲜皮同用。颜色嫩绿的品质较好。需用蜂蜜炙烤透彻。
补肺气，而实皮毛，敛汗托疮，解渴定喘。益胃气，而去肤热，止泻生肌，补虚治痨。风癞急需，痘疡莫缺。种种功勋，皆是补脾实肺之力。能理风癞者，经谓邪之所凑，其气必虚，气充于外，邪无所黄 ，实表，有表邪者勿用。助气，气实者勿用。多怒则肝气不和，亦禁用也。
补益肺气，充实皮毛，收敛汗液，托毒排脓，解除口渴，平息气喘。增益胃气，去除皮肤发热，停止腹泻，促进肌肉生长，补益虚弱，治疗虚劳。治疗风癞（麻风病等皮肤病）急需时不可缺少，治疗痘疮疡疹时也不可或缺。各种功效，都是补益脾脏、充实肺脏的力量。能够调理风癞的原因，医经说邪气聚集的地方，正气必然虚弱，正气充盈于体表，邪气就无法侵入，从而巩固表卫，如果有表邪（外感病邪）的人不要使用。辅助正气，如果正气已经充实的人不要使用。容易发怒导致肝气不和谐的人，也禁止使用。
味苦、甘，性温，无毒。入脾、胃二经。防风为使。忌桃、李、青鱼。产于潜者佳。米泔水浸半日，土蒸，切片，蜜水拌匀，炒令褐色。
味道苦、甘，性质温，没有毒性。归入脾经和胃经。以防风作为引导药（使药）。忌与桃、李、青鱼同食。产于潜山（安徽潜山）的品质较好。用淘米水浸泡半天，用泥土包裹蒸制，切成片，用蜂蜜水拌匀，炒至褐色。
健脾进食，消谷补中。化胃经痰水，理心下急满。利腰脐血结，祛周身湿痹。君枳实以消痞，佐黄芩以安胎。
健运脾胃，增进食欲，消化谷物，补益中焦。化解胃经的痰饮和水湿，调理心窝部急迫胀满。疏通腰部和脐部的血结，祛除全身的湿痹。以枳实为君药以消除痞块，配合黄芩以安胎。
白术甘温，得土之冲气，补脾胃之良药也。脾胃健于转输，新谷善进，宿谷善消。土旺自能胜湿，痰水易化，急满易解。腰脐间血，周身之痹，皆湿停为害，湿去则安矣。消痞者，强脾胃之力。安胎者，化湿热之功。
白术味甘性温，禀受土的中和之气，是补益脾胃的良药。脾胃强健于转运输送，新的食物容易进入，陈旧的食物容易消化。土气旺盛自然能克制湿气，痰饮水湿容易化解，急迫胀满容易解除。腰脐间的血结，全身的痹症，都是因为湿气停滞造成的危害，湿气去除则平安了。消除痞块，是靠增强脾胃的力量。安胎，是靠化解湿热的功效。
阴虚燥渴，便闭滞下，肝肾有筑筑动气者勿服。又《百草镜》谓冬采者为冬术，汁归本根，滋润而不枯燥，却易油不能止泻。故处方称为冬术。
阴虚导致的燥渴，便秘或痢疾不止，肝肾部位有悸动感（筑筑动气）的人不要服用。另外《百草镜》说冬季采挖的称为冬术，汁液回归根部，滋润而不干枯，但是容易出油，不能止泻。所以在处方中称为冬术。
Taste is sweet, nature is neutral, non-toxic. Enters the Spleen and Lung meridians.
Tonifies the Middle Jiao and benefits Qi; suitable for both the Spleen and the Lung. Strengthens Spleen transportation and transformation, preventing the Middle Palace (Spleen/Stomach) from becoming dry. Nourishes Stomach Yin without causing stagnation in the chest and diaphragm. Moistens the Lungs without offending with cold properties; nourishes Blood without tending towards greasiness. Indicated for weak Middle Qi, shortness of breath, and palpitations. For poor appetite, loose stools, physical fatigue, and susceptibility to tiredness. It raises clear Yang Qi; regular consumption is beneficial.
Dang Shen (Codonopsis Radix) has effects similar to Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), but its potency is weaker. However, it can be taken for a long time without significant adverse effects.
Taste is sweet, nature is slightly warm, non-toxic. Enters the Lung and Spleen meridians. Fu Ling (Poria) serves as the guiding herb (Shi). Adverse reaction with Gui Jia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum) and Bai Xian Pi (Dictamni Cortex). Tender green ones are preferred. Honey-fried thoroughly.
Tonifies Lung Qi, solidifies the skin and hair, restrains sweating, promotes pus discharge for sores, relieves thirst, and calms asthma. Benefits Stomach Qi, removes heat from the skin, stops diarrhea, generates flesh, tonifies deficiency, and treats consumptive diseases. Urgently needed for Feng Lai (Leprosy/Dermatological conditions); indispensable for treating acne and ulcers. All these merits stem from the power of tonifying the Spleen and solidifying the Lung. The ability to manage Feng Lai is explained by the classic saying: "Where pathogenic factors gather, Qi must be deficient." When Qi is abundant on the exterior, pathogens have no place to lodge, thereby solidifying the Exterior (Biao). Do not use if there are exterior pathogenic factors. Do not use to assist Qi if Qi is already excessive. Do not use if frequent anger leads to disharmony of Liver Qi.
Taste is bitter and sweet, nature is warm, non-toxic. Enters the Spleen and Stomach meridians. Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) serves as the guiding herb (Shi). Avoid peaches, plums, and blue fish. Those produced in Qian are superior. Soak in rice washing water for half a day, steam in earth, slice, mix evenly with honey water, and stir-fry until brown.
Strengthens the Spleen and promotes food intake, aids digestion of grains, and tonifies the Middle. Transforms phlegm and fluid retention in the Stomach meridian, regulates urgent fullness below the heart. Promotes blood circulation in the waist and umbilicus, dispels whole-body damp-bi obstruction. Used as the sovereign herb with Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) to eliminate痞 (fullness/lump); used as an assistant with Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) to calm the fetus.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) is sweet and warm, receiving the balanced Qi of Earth, making it an excellent medicine for tonifying the Spleen and Stomach. When the Spleen and Stomach are strong in transportation and transformation, new food enters easily, and old food digests well. When Earth Qi is prosperous, it naturally overcomes dampness; phlegm and fluids transform easily, and urgent fullness resolves. Blood stasis between the waist and umbilicus, and bi-obstruction throughout the body, are all harms caused by stagnant dampness; when dampness is removed, peace is restored. Eliminating 痞 relies on strengthening the Spleen and Stomach. Calming the fetus relies on the function of transforming damp-heat.
Do not take for Yin deficiency with dry thirst, constipation or dysentery, or if there is a throbbing sensation (Zhu Zhu Dong Qi) in the Liver and Kidney regions. Additionally, *Bai Cao Jing* states that those harvested in winter are called Dong Shu (Winter Atractylodes); their juice returns to the root, making them moist and not dry, but they tend to become oily and cannot stop diarrhea. Therefore, they are referred to as Dong Shu in prescriptions.
