石硫黄
（硫黄秉纯阳火石之精气而结成。性质通硫。色赋中黄。故名硫黄。含其猛毒为七十
二石之将。故药品中号为将军。外家谓之阳侯。亦曰黄牙。又曰黄 砂。）
【气味】
酸温有毒。
【主治】
除头秃。能化金银铜铁奇物。下部 疮。杀疥虫。古方未有服饵硫黄者。本经所用
。只于治疮蚀。攻积聚冷气脚弱等。而近世遂火炼。治为常服丸散。观其治炼服食之法。殊
无本源。非若乳石之有论议。故服之其效虽紧。而其患更速。可不戒之。土硫黄辛热腥臭。
只可治疥杀虫。不可服也。
（鸡舌香与丁香是同一种植物。花朵和果实丛生在一起。其中中心部位最大的是鸡舌香，敲开后纹理顺直，裂成两半像鸡舌头，因此得名。这就是母丁香。）
【气味】
辛、温，无毒。属性为纯阳。归入手太阴肺经和足少阴肾经、足阳明胃经。（在方剂中多使用雌丁香，其药效更强；在熬制膏药时若使用雄丁香必须去除丁字形的花蕾部分。因为哺乳期的妇女接触雄丁香会引发背部痈肿。此外，丁香不可见火。）
【主治】
温暖脾胃。治疗霍乱引起的壅滞胀满。治疗风毒导致的各种肿胀。治疗齿疳（牙龈腐烂）。能激发其他香料的香气。治疗口臭及骨槽风（颌骨骨髓炎）的恶臭。杀虫。驱除邪气。治疗乳头溃烂（奶头花）。治疗五色毒痢和五种痔疮。治疗冷气、冷劳（虚劳）。治疗反胃、鬼疰（慢性消耗性疾病）、蛊毒。解酒毒。消除积聚癖块。治疗肾气上冲奔豚、阴部疼痛及腹痛。壮阳，温暖腰膝。治疗呕吐逆气，疗效显著。去除胃寒。调理元气。气血旺盛者不宜服用。治疗虚性呃逆。治疗小儿吐泻。治疗痘疮因胃气虚弱而颜色灰白、不能透发等症状。这些病症必定发生在运气学说中“寒水司天”的年份，又正值严冬阳气被郁遏之时，所以使用大辛大热的药物来发散阳气。如果不分辨气血的虚实以及病证的寒热经络，一概突然使用，那么致人死亡是必然的。
【鸡舌香】
【气味】
辛，微温，无毒。
【主治】
治疗风水毒肿。治疗霍乱心痛。去除恶热。吹入鼻腔可治疗脑疳（鼻息肉或鼻腔病变）。加入各种香料中可使身体散发香气。同姜汁混合涂抹可拔除白色胡须，孔洞中随即长出黑色胡须，效果异常显著。
石硫黄
（硫黄秉承纯阳火石的精气凝结而成。性质通达如硫，颜色呈现中黄色，因此名叫硫黄。它含有猛烈的毒性，是七十二种矿石中的将领，所以在药品中被称为“将军”。外家称之为阳侯，也叫黄牙，或者叫黄砂。）
【气味】
酸，温，有毒。
【主治】
治疗脱发秃顶。能够熔化金银铜铁等奇异物质。治疗下部疮疡。杀灭疥虫。古代方剂中没有服用硫黄的记载。《神农本草经》中所用的硫黄，仅用于治疗疮蚀、攻逐积聚冷气、脚弱等症状。而近代人却用火炼法炼制硫黄，将其作为常服丸散的药物。观察其炼制和服食的方法，完全没有本源依据，不像乳石那样有理论议论。所以服用它虽然见效快，但带来的祸患也更迅速，怎能不警惕呢？土生硫黄具有辛热腥臭的性质，只能用来治疗疥疮、杀虫，不可内服。
(Jishexiang [Caryophylli Flos, also known as Mother Clove] and Dingxiang [Clove] are from the same species. The flowers and fruits grow in clusters. The largest part in the center is called Jishexiang. When broken open, the texture follows a straight pattern and splits into two parts resembling a chicken's tongue, hence the name. This is the female clove.)
[Properties and Flavor]
Pungent, warm, non-toxic. It belongs to Pure Yang. It enters the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. (In prescriptions, the female cloves are mostly used because their efficacy is stronger. In the preparation of plasters/pastes, if male cloves are used, the "Ding" shaped buds must be removed. This is because exposure to male cloves can induce carbuncles on the back of nursing women. Furthermore, cloves should not be exposed to fire.)
[Indications]
Warms the Spleen and Stomach. Stops Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) with stagnation and distension. Treats various swellings caused by Wind-Toxin. Treats Chi Gan (gingival decay). It can activate the aroma of other spices. Treats halitosis and foul odor associated with Gu Cao Lao (osteomyelitis of the jaw). Kills parasites. Expels evil pathogens. Treats Naitou Hua (ulceration of the nipple). Stops Wuse Du Li (dysentery of five colors) and Wu Zhi (five types of hemorrhoids). Treats Cold Qi and Cold Lao (deficiency-wasting syndrome). Treats Fanwei (regurgitation/vomiting), Guizhu (chronic wasting disease attributed to ghosts), and Guduo (poisoning/parasitic infection). Relieves Jiudu (alcohol toxicity). Dissolves accumulations and masses. Treats Ben Tun Qi (rushing qi sensation originating from the lower abdomen), Yin pain, and abdominal pain. Strengthens Yang, warms the waist and knees. Treats Ouni (vomiting and regurgitation) with significant efficacy. Removes Stomach cold. Regulates Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Those with abundant Qi and Blood should not take it. Treats Xu Yue (deficiency-type hiccups). Treats pediatric vomiting and diarrhea. Treats conditions such as smallpox where the rash fails to erupt or appears grayish-white due to Stomach deficiency. These conditions occur specifically when the Cold Water governs the Heavenly Qi cycle, and coincides with severe winter where Yang Qi is suppressed. Therefore, large pungent and hot agents are used to disperse the Yang Qi. If one does not differentiate between the deficiency/excess of Qi and Blood, and the cold/heat nature of the meridians and syndromes, and uses them abruptly indiscriminately, death is inevitable.
[Jishexiang]
[Properties and Flavor]
Pungent, slightly warm, non-toxic.
[Indications]
Treats Feng Shui Du Zhong (toxic swelling due to wind-water). Treats Huoluan Xin Tong (heart pain due to cholera-like syndrome). Removes evil heat. Blown into the nasal cavity to treat Nao Gan (nasal polyps or nasal lesions). When added to various incenses, it makes the body fragrant. Mixed with ginger juice and applied topically, it can pull out white beard hairs; black hairs will subsequently grow in the follicles, showing exceptional results.
Shi Liuhuang (Mineral Sulfur)
(Sulfur forms by condensing the essence of pure Yang fire-stone. Its nature is permeable like sulfur, and its color is assigned the central yellow, hence the name Shi Liuhuang. It contains fierce toxicity and acts as the general among the seventy-two minerals, thus referred to as "General" in medicinal texts. Laypeople call it Yang Hou, also Huang Ya, or Huang Sha.)
[Properties and Flavor]
Acid, warm, toxic.
[Indications]
Treats alopecia/crown baldness. Can melt gold, silver, copper, iron, and other strange substances. Treats Xia Bu Chuang (sores in the lower body/genital area). Kills scabies mites. Ancient formulas did not record the internal administration of sulfur. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* only used sulfur for treating ulcerative sores, attacking accumulations, cold qi, and leg weakness. However, in recent times, people have used fire-refining methods to process sulfur into pills and powders for regular consumption. Observing their methods of refining and ingesting, there is no fundamental basis, unlike Rushi (milk stone/mineral drugs) which has theoretical discussions. Therefore, although its effects are rapid, the resulting harm is even faster. How can one not be vigilant? Earth-born sulfur has pungent, hot, fishy, and foul odors. It can only be used to treat scabies and kill parasites; it must not be taken internally.
