【吴茱萸】
味甘、辛，性温，无毒。归胃经。研磨成细粉，炒至黄色，陈久者品质更佳。
能健脾助消化，食物停滞引起的腹痛可无忧虑。能降气化痰，对于泄泻痢疾及胃气上逆（翻胃）有疗效。夏季感受暑湿感冒，用它可使表里调和；闪挫导致的腰痛，用醋浸泡后温热服用。
脾阴虚、胃火旺盛者禁用。能损伤胎孕。
【枸杞子】
味甘，性微温，无毒。归肝、肾二经。
滋养肝脏以养血，强健筋骨并明目。补肾而填精，止渴除烦。
精髓不足的人，用厚味的药物来补益，枸杞子就是这类药。它能使阴液滋生，从而阴血自然生长。肝开窍于目，黑水神光归属于肾，肝肾两脏得到补益，眼睛自然明亮。
枸杞能通利大小肠，所以泄泻患者不宜使用。
【吴茱萸】（注：原文此处虽未直接写名，但根据上下文“味辛，性热...独入厥阴...非茱萸不可治”及前文语境，实为吴茱萸条目，但按原文字面翻译如下）
味辛，性热，有小毒。归肝、脾、胃三经。以蓼实为使药。
忌与丹参、滑石同用。畏惧紫石英，开口者品质好，需用盐汤浸泡过，焙干后使用。
燥肠胃，止住久泻滑脱之症。散阴寒，攻治心腹疼痛。祛除冷胀气效果独特，疏理肝气有其特长。疝气疼痛、脚气病适宜使用。开郁结、杀虫效果极佳。
辛散燥热，独入厥阴经，所以能温肝。至于脾胃，则是旁及的作用。李东垣说：“浊阴不降，厥气上逆，甚至导致胀满，非吴茱萸不能治疗。但多用会损伤元气。”寇宗奭说：“下气速度最快，肠道虚弱的人服用会使病情加重。凡是疾病不属于寒滞的，不要使用。即使是因寒滞引起的，也应当斟酌虚实情况，对症用药才能见效。”
【乌梅/白梅】
味酸，性平，无毒。归肺、脾、肝、大肠四经。
定咳嗽、止口渴，都是依靠收敛肺气的功效；止血、止利，完全是固摄肠道的力量。清音去痰涎，安蛔虫，调理烦热。腐蚀恶肉速度极快，消除酒毒以清醒神志。白梅（即霜梅）。牙关紧闭时，擦牙龈使其流涎便能张开；刀箭伤皮肤，研烂敷上，血立即停止。
乌梅、白梅都以酸收为功效，疽疮愈合后，若有肉芽突起，将乌梅烧焦后外敷，一天减半，两天就平了。真是奇妙的方子。梅树生于春季，曲直作酸，疾病中有需要发散治疗的，大忌酸收，误食必然有害。如果因为过食梅子导致牙齿酸痛敏感，嚼核桃肉可以解之。
[Wu Zhu Yu] (Evodiae Fructus)
Sweet and pungent, warm in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Stomach Meridian. Ground into fine powder, stir-fried until yellow; those aged for a long time are of better quality.
Strengthens the Spleen and aids digestion; no need to worry about abdominal pain caused by food stagnation. Directs Qi downward and resolves phlegm; relies upon it for treating diarrhea, dysentery, and stomach Qi rebelling upward (Fan Wei). For summerheat colds, using it harmonizes both the exterior and interior. For waist pain due to sprains or trauma, take after soaking in vinegar and warming.
Contraindicated in cases of Spleen Yin deficiency and excessive Stomach fire. Can damage fetal pregnancy.
[Gou Qi Zi] (Lycii Fructus)
Sweet, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Liver and Kidney meridians.
Nourishes the Liver to nourish Ying (Nutritive) Qi, strengthens sinews and tendons, and improves vision. Tonifies the Kidney to fill Essence, relieves thirst, and eliminates irritability.
For those with insufficient Essence, tonify with substances of thick flavor; Gou Qi Zi is such a substance. It enables Yin to generate, so that Yin Blood grows naturally. The Liver opens into the eyes; the "Black Water Divine Light" belongs to the Kidney. When both organs are tonified, vision becomes clear.
Gou Qi Zi promotes the free flow of the Large and Small Intestines; therefore, it should not be used in cases of diarrhea.
[Wu Zhu Yu] (Evodiae Fructus)
Pungent, hot in nature, slightly toxic. Enters the Liver, Spleen, and Stomach meridians. Use Polygoni Multiflori Fructus (Liao Shi) as an assistant drug.
Adverse reaction with Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Huashi (Talcum). Feels Zhiyingshi (Fluorite). Those with open pores are of good quality; soak in salt water, then dry by roasting.
Dries the intestines and stomach, stopping chronic loose stools. Disperses Yin-cold and treats heart and abdominal pain. Uniquely effective in dispelling cold distension; has particular strength in smoothing Liver Qi. Suitable for hernia pain and beriberi (Jiao Qi). Highly effective in opening depression and killing parasites.
Pungent dispersal and drying heat enter exclusively into the Jueyin meridian, thus it can warm the Liver. As for the Spleen and Stomach, its action extends to them secondarily. Dong Yuan said: "When turbid Yin does not descend and Jue Qi rebels upward, leading to severe distension, only Evodia can treat it. However, excessive use damages Yuan Qi." Kou Shi said: "It directs Qi downward most rapidly; taking it will worsen conditions in people with empty intestines. Do not use it for diseases that are not due to Cold-Stagnation. Even if due to Cold-Stagnation, one must weigh deficiency and excess, and match the medicine to the disease for efficacy."
[Mei Zi] (Mume Fructus)
Sour, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Lung, Spleen, Liver, and Large Intestine meridians.
Stops cough and thirst through the function of astringing the Lung. Stops bleeding and diarrhea through the power of securing the intestines. Clears voice, removes phlegm-saliva, calms roundworms, and manages irritability and heat. Removes foul flesh quickly; clears alcohol toxicity to refresh the spirit. Bai Mei (Shuang Mei). For lockjaw, rub the gums to induce salivation, which opens the jaw; for knife or arrow wounds on the skin, grind and apply, and bleeding stops immediately.
Both Wu Mei and Bai Mei work through sour astringency. After the healing of carbuncles, if flesh protrudes, burn Wu Mei and apply externally; half reduces in one day, and it flattens in two days. A truly miraculous prescription. Plum trees grow in spring; wood curves and straightens to produce sourness. Diseases requiring dispersal strictly forbid sour astringents; mistaken consumption causes harm. If teeth become sensitive from overeating plums, chewing walnut meat resolves it.
