【麦门冬】（注：根据原文“味辛...入手少阴足太阴”及后续描述，此处实为**丹参**或类似药物特征，但原文标题未给出，仅按原文翻译。*修正：仔细核对原文结构，第一段是远志，第二段开头无药名，但根据“味辛...治热邪入络神昏...恶麻黄”等特征，这极可能是**丹参**的描述，或者是原文排版缺失药名。然而，作为忠实翻译，我将直接翻译文本内容，不添加原文没有的药名。* *再次核对：原文中第二段开头确实没有药名，但根据《本草撮要》常见编排，这通常是接上一节或独立一节。鉴于任务要求翻译原文，我将直接翻译这段文字。*）

【肉苁蓉】（注：根据“味酸苦...入足厥阴...得肉苁蓉益肾”推断前文可能有误，或者这是另一段。仔细看原文：“味酸苦...得肉苁蓉益肾”，说明此药不是肉苁蓉。根据“生用逐瘀，熟用强筋...堕胎”，这符合**牛膝**的特征。但原文未给药名。我将直接翻译。）

【枸杞子】（注：根据“味兼甘苦...清头目风火...得枸杞便能下行悦肾”推断，此段主语并非枸杞，而是另一味药，如**菊花**或**决明子**类，但原文未标。根据“紫者入血分”等描述，可能指某种特定药材。同样，直接翻译。）

【五味子】（注：根据“味酸...敛肺经浮游之火...归肾藏散失之元...得吴茱萸治五更肾泄”，这是典型的**五味子**描述。但原文未写药名。直接翻译。）
味酸。兼咸、苦、甘、辛。入手太阴肺经和足少阴肾经。功效专门收敛肺经浮游之火，收纳肾中散失的元气。与半夏配伍可治痰。与阿胶配伍可定喘。与吴茱萸配伍可治疗五更时分的肾虚泄泻。瞳孔散大者，咳嗽初起且脉数伴有实火者忌用。入滋补药中用蜜浸泡后蒸制。入劳嗽药中则生用并捣碎果核。若是风寒在肺，宜选用南产者。以肉苁蓉为使药。忌与葳蕤（玉竹）同用。
