忌铁。茯苓为使，畏灵脂，恶皂角、黑豆、紫石英、人尿、卤碱，反藜芦。按交
泰丸参皂同用，是恶而不恶也。疗月闭参灵并剂，是畏而不畏也。
味甘，微苦，无毒。入脾胃二经。续气通脉，止渴生津。汗后肤热，痢久身凉，非此莫
疗；
脉微欲绝，血脱欲死，非此罔救。回阳于气几息，益气于热所伤。面赤黑，气壮肺热，脉长
实滑数有力者无用；面白黄，气微肺寒，脉虚大细弱无力者，宜用也。
生上党山谷及辽东。辽东即高丽参也。二八月采，勿令见风，根如人形者良。上党即潞
州也
。民以人参为地方害，不复采取。今所用者，皆是辽参。亦可收子，于十月下种，如种菜法
。秋冬采者坚实，春夏采者虚软，非地产有虚实也。辽参连皮者，黄润色如防风，去皮者，
坚白如粉。伪者皆以沙参、荠 、桔梗造作乱之。体虚无心味淡者，沙参也；体虚无心者，
荠也；体坚有心味苦者，桔梗也；体实有心味甘微苦者，人参也。

又治三阳合病，腹满身重，谵语遗尿，不能转侧，引饮有汗，似风湿瘫痪者。（方见上
第八。十六。）
忌用铁器。茯苓作为引经药，人参畏惧五灵脂，厌恶皂角、黑豆、紫石英、人尿、卤碱，与藜芦相反。按：交泰丸中人参和皂角同用，说明是“恶”而不真正相恶；治疗闭经时人参和五灵脂并用，说明是“畏”而不真正相畏。
味甘，微苦，无毒。归脾、胃二经。能接续元气、通利血脉，止渴生津。发汗后皮肤发热，痢疾日久身体转凉，非用人参不可治疗；脉象微弱几乎要断绝，血脱即将死亡，非用人参无法挽救。在气息将尽时挽回阳气，在热邪损伤元气时补益正气。面色红黑，气壮肺热，脉象长实滑数有力的，不宜使用；面色白黄，气弱肺寒，脉象虚大细弱无力的，适宜使用。
产于上党山谷及辽东地区。辽东即高丽参。农历二月、八月采收，不要让风吹到，根部像人形的为好。上党就是潞州。百姓认为人参对地方有害，不再采挖。现在所用的，都是辽参。也可以收集种子，在十月下种，像种菜一样。秋冬采收的坚实，春夏采收的虚软，并非产地有虚实之分。带皮的辽参，黄色润泽颜色像防风，去皮的，坚硬洁白像粉。伪品都是用沙参、荠苨、桔梗制作来混淆的。体轻无心、味道淡的，是沙参；体轻无心的，是荠苨；体硬有心、味道苦的，是桔梗；体实有心、味道甘甜微苦的，是人参。

Avoid iron. Poria cocos (Fuling) serves as a guiding herb. It is inhibited by Trogopterus Dung (Wulingzhi), and its properties are antagonistic to Soapberry Fruit (Zaojiao), Black Soybean (Heidou), Purple Quartz (Zi Shiyu), Human Urine (Ren Niao), and Alum (Lujing). It is chemically incompatible with Veratrum Rhizome (Lilu). Note: In Jiaotai Wan, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen) and Soapberry Fruit are used together, indicating that the "antagonism" does not result in true mutual inhibition. When treating Amenorrhea (Yuebi), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Trogopterus Dung are combined, indicating that the "inhibition" does not result in true mutual fear.
It tastes sweet, slightly bitter, and is non-toxic. It enters the Spleen and Stomach meridians. It replenishes Qi, unblocks collaterals, relieves thirst, and generates body fluids. For skin fever after sweating, or for chronic dysentery where the body becomes cool, no other herb can treat it as effectively; for a faint pulse nearly imperceptible, or impending death from Blood depletion, no other herb can save it. It restores Yang Qi when breath is nearly exhausted, and tonifies Qi damaged by heat. It is not suitable for patients with a ruddy or dark complexion, robust Qi, Lung Heat, and a long, solid, slippery, rapid, and forceful pulse. It is suitable for patients with a white or yellowish complexion, weak Qi, Lung Cold, and a large, fine, weak, and forceless pulse.
It grows in the valleys of Shangdang and Liaodong. Liaodong refers to Korean Ginseng (Gaoli Shen). Harvested in the second and eighth lunar months, avoid exposure to wind. Roots resembling the human form are considered superior. Shangdang is Luozhou. Locals consider Ginseng harmful to their region and no longer harvest it. What is currently used is all Liaodong Ginseng. Seeds can also be collected and sown in October, similar to planting vegetables. Those harvested in autumn and winter are solid and firm; those harvested in spring and summer are hollow and soft. This is not due to the land having solid or hollow qualities. Liaodong Ginseng with skin has a yellow, lustrous color resembling Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng); without skin, it is hard and white like powder. Counterfeits are made from Adenophora Root (Shashen), Sinosenecio Rhizome (Qini), and Platycodon Root (Jiegeng). Those that are light, pithless, and taste bland are Adenophora Root; those that are light and pithless are Sinosenecio Rhizome; those that are hard, have a pith, and taste bitter are Platycodon Root; those that are solid, have a pith, and taste sweet with a slight bitterness are Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma.
