颜色红、陈放时间久的品质较好。去掉白色内层称为橘红。去掉白皮能消除痰饮,保留白皮能调和脾胃。
味苦、辛,性温,无毒。能化痰止咳,顺气理中,调理脾胃宽畅胸膈,止呕降逆,利水消食,通淋润肠。
治疗霍乱引起的呕吐腹泻,消除嘈杂感并停止吐出青色液体;破除症瘕积聚和癖块,解除鱼腥和肉类腐败引起的不适。作为食物调料非常适宜,杀死肠道寄生虫(寸白虫)效果也很好。
橘皮的细纹呈红色,皮薄且多筋络,味道苦辛。如果纹理粗糙、颜色发黄、皮厚且内部多有白色膜状物而无筋络,味道甘辛的,是柑皮。纹理极粗、颜色发黄、内部多膜无筋、皮极厚、味道甘甜而辛味少的,是柚皮。现在天下人大多用柑皮混杂其中,柑皮还可以接受,但柚皮则相差甚远。将内部白色部分去净后称为橘红,专门用于消除痰饮、降气。产于江南地区。十月采收。
治疗嘈杂吐水,取真正的橘皮研成粉末,凌晨五更时分取五分放在手掌心,用舌头舔舐它,然后睡觉,三天必定见效。(验方第一。)

Those with a red color and aged for a long time are of superior quality. Removing the white pith yields *Juhong* (Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae Rubrum). Removing the white pith eliminates phlegm, while retaining it harmonizes the middle jiao.
Bitter, pungent, warm, non-toxic. It transforms phlegm and treats coughs, regulates qi and harmonizes the middle, regulates the spleen and relieves chest fullness, stops vomiting and directs rebellious qi downward, promotes urination and aids digestion, unblocks strangury and moistens the intestines.

The fine-textured orange peel is red, thin-skinned, and rich in veins, with a bitter and pungent taste. If the texture is coarse, the color yellow, the skin thick, the interior contains much white membrane without veins, and the taste is sweet and pungent, it is *Ganpi* (Citrus reticulata 'Chachi' peel). If the texture is extremely coarse, the color yellow, the interior contains much membrane without veins, the skin is extremely thick, and the taste is mostly sweet with little pungency, it is *Youpi* (Pomelo peel). Nowadays, people often mix *Ganpi* into it; *Ganpi* is acceptable, but *Youpi* is vastly different. Removing all internal white parts is named *Juhong*, which specializes in transforming phlegm and directing qi downward. Grows in Jiangnan. Harvested in October.

For sudden dysphagia due to food impaction: Stir-fry into powder, decoct, and take. (Formula 4.)
For phlegm obstruction in the chest/diaphragm and qi distension: Decoct in water and take. (Formula 5.)
For chronic qi-related cough: Combine with *Shenqu* (Medicated Leaven) and fresh ginger, steam with rice cake dough, make into pills, and take. (Formula 6.)
For "Hong Kong foot" rushing to the heart with hardness below the heart: Assist with *Xingren* (Apricot Seed) honey pills and take. (Formula 7.)
For constipation due to qi stagnation in the elderly: Same as above. (Formula 8.)
For numbness due to wind-phlegm: This is caused by damp-phlegm and dead blood. Take one jin of *Juhong*, decoct in water until soft, remove dregs, decoct again, and take in one dose to induce vomiting. (Formula 9.)
