蜜，味甘，气平、微温，无毒。益气温中，润燥解毒，养脾胃，却痫痉，止肠癖，除口
疮、
心腹猝痛，补五脏不足，通大便久闭。此采百花而酿成，自然补益。但可丸药中用之，
入汤剂内，止润大肠也。
或问蜜有黄、白之分，其功用同乎？曰∶世人以白蜜为上。不知采黄花则蜜黄，采白花
则蜜
白。黄胜于白，而世人未知也。盖花黄者得中州之气，花白者得西方之气耳。
五灵脂，味甘，气平，无毒。功专生血止血，通经闭，又治经行不止，去心疼，并疗血
气刺
痛，祛血痢肠风，逐心腹冷气，定产妇血晕，除小儿疳蛔，善杀虫，又止虫牙之痛。药笼中
亦不可缺也。
或问五灵脂长于治血，不识诸血症可统治之乎？夫五灵脂长于行血，而短于补血，故瘀
者可
通，虚者难用耳。
蝉蜕，去目内翳膜、并侵睛 肉。小儿痘疮，用之以护目，断不可少之药也。
或问蝉蜕护目，去目内翳膜，有之乎？曰∶有。但宜知所以用之。蝉蜕护目者，护痘疮未出
之目，非护痘疮已坏之目也。凡痘疮现头面甚多者，须护其目。先用蝉蜕入于发表之中，则
双目断无出痘之理。若已见点于目中，又何能救之使消哉。
或问蝉蜕消翳于目中，宜乎目中之翳无不消之矣，而谓止能护目，使翳之不生，不能消
已成
之翳。是蝉蜕非消翳之品乎？曰∶蝉蜕消翳，古人盛称之，岂无所验而云然。古人谓消翳者
，消凡
目之翳，非消痘疮之翳也。凡目之翳，可少用之以成功，痘疮之翳，虽多用之亦无益也。
蜂蜜，味道甘甜，药性平和、略带温热，没有毒性。能够补益元气、温煦中焦，滋润燥邪、解除毒素，滋养脾胃，防止癫痫和痉挛，停止肠道痢疾，消除口腔溃疡和心腹部突然疼痛，补充五脏的不足，通畅长期的大便闭塞。这是采集百花的花蜜酿造而成的，属于天然的补益品。但只适合在丸药中使用，如果加入汤剂中，仅仅起到润肠通便的作用。
有人问：蜂蜜有黄色和白色之分，它们的功能相同吗？回答说：世人认为白蜜是上品。不知道采集黄花酿成的蜜就是黄色的，采集白花酿成的蜜就是白色的。黄蜜胜过白蜜，只是世人还不知道罢了。大概是因为黄花得中原土气的滋养，而白花得西方金气的滋养罢了。
五灵脂，味道甘甜，药性平和，没有毒性。功效专门在于生血和止血，疏通经血闭阻，又治疗月经淋漓不尽，去除心痛，并治疗气血刺痛，祛除血痢和肠风（便血），驱逐心腹部的冷气，安定产妇的血晕，消除小儿疳积虫痛，善于杀虫，又能止住虫牙引起的疼痛。药箱中也不可缺少的药物。
有人问：五灵脂擅长治疗血证，不知各种血症都可以统管治疗吗？回答：五灵脂长于行血（活血），而短于补血，所以瘀血阻滞的可以疏通，虚损的难以使用罢了。
蝉蜕，能去除眼睛内部的翳膜，以及侵入眼球的肉状物。小儿患痘疮时，用它来保护眼睛，是绝对不可缺少的药物。
有人问：蝉蜕保护眼睛、去除眼睛内部的翳膜，真的有效吗？回答说：确实有效。但应当知道如何正确使用它。蝉蜕保护眼睛，是指保护痘疮尚未发出的眼睛，而不是保护痘疮已经溃坏的眼睛。凡是痘疮出现在头面部非常多的情况，必须保护眼睛。先将蝉蜕加入到发表（发散表邪）的药物中，那么双眼绝对不会长出痘疮。如果眼中已经出现了痘点，又怎么能救治使其消退呢？
有人问：蝉蜕能消除眼中的翳膜，按理说眼中的翳膜都应该消除了，却说只能保护眼睛，使翳膜不产生，不能消除已经形成的翳膜。这是说蝉蜕不是消除翳膜的药物吗？回答说：蝉蜕消除翳膜，古人非常推崇，难道没有验证而这样说吗？古人所说的消除翳膜，是指消除普通眼病的翳膜，不是消除痘疮引起的翳膜。普通的翳膜，少量使用就能见效；痘疮引起的翳膜，虽然大量使用也没有益处。
Honey, sweet in taste, neutral and slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. It benefits Qi and warms the middle jiao (middle burner), moistens dryness and resolves toxicity, nourishes the Spleen and Stomach, prevents epilepsy and spasms, stops intestinal dysentery, eliminates mouth ulcers and sudden pain in the heart and abdomen, supplements deficiencies of the Five Zang organs, and unblocks chronic constipation. This is brewed from the nectar of hundreds of flowers, representing a natural tonic. However, it is only suitable for use in pill preparations; when added to decoctions, it merely serves to moisten the large intestine.
One might ask: Honey comes in yellow and white varieties; are their functions identical? The answer is: People generally regard white honey as superior. They do not realize that honey derived from yellow flowers is yellow, while that from white flowers is white. Yellow honey surpasses white honey, though this fact remains unknown to the masses. This is because yellow flowers absorb the Qi of the central earth region, whereas white flowers absorb the Qi of the west (metal).
Wulingzhi (Trogopterus Dung), sweet in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Its efficacy specializes in generating blood and stopping bleeding, unblocking menstrual amenorrhea, and treating menorrhagia (prolonged menstruation). It alleviates heart pain and treats stabbing pain caused by Qi and Blood stagnation, expels bloody dysentery and rectal bleeding (wind in the intestines), drives out cold Qi in the heart and abdomen, stabilizes postpartum blood vertigo, eliminates pediatric malnutrition with intestinal parasites, effectively kills parasites, and relieves toothache caused by worms. It is an indispensable herb in any medicine cabinet.
One might ask: Since Wulingzhi excels in treating blood disorders, can it manage all types of blood syndromes uniformly? The answer is: Wulingzhi excels at promoting blood circulation but lacks the ability to tonify blood. Therefore, it can resolve blood stasis but is difficult to apply in cases of deficiency.
Cantbridae (Cicada Slough) removes nebulae (opacities) inside the eye and pterygium-like growths invading the eyeball. In children suffering from smallpox, it is used to protect the eyes and is an absolutely essential medication.
One might ask: Does Cantbridae truly protect the eyes and remove intraocular nebulae? The answer is: Yes, but one must understand how to use it properly. Cantbridae protects the eyes by safeguarding them before the eruption of smallpox lesions, not after the lesions have ulcerated. When smallpox lesions appear abundantly on the face and head, eye protection is necessary. By adding Cantbridae to formulas that release the exterior (disperse pathogenic factors from the surface), the eyes will certainly be spared from developing lesions. If lesions have already appeared in the eyes, how could it possibly rescue them to make them disappear?
One might ask: If Cantbridae eliminates nebulae in the eyes, shouldn't all ocular opacities vanish? Yet it is said to only prevent the formation of nebulae rather than eliminate existing ones. Is Cantbridae not a substance for removing nebulae? The answer is: Ancients highly praised Cantbridae's ability to remove nebulae; surely there was empirical evidence for such claims. When ancients spoke of "removing nebulae," they referred to opacities from ordinary eye diseases, not those caused by smallpox. For ordinary nebulae, a small dose can achieve success; for smallpox-induced nebulae, even a large dose yields no benefit.
