专入心腹之内也。
天仙藤（专门作用于肝经和脾经）。就是青木香和马兜铃的藤蔓。味道苦，性质温。查看书籍中论述的主治功效，仅限于妊娠期间的水肿（子肿）。这种水肿开始于双脚，逐渐发展到胸闷气喘，看起来像有水停滞，脚趾间渗出液体，这被称为“子气”。以及腹痛、风劳等病症。而对于其他病症则没有提及。就它所治疗的原理而言，也不过是因为苦味主要起到疏泄作用，温性能够通行活络。所以它能活血通脉，使水液没有不利的，风邪没有不除去的，血液没有不流通的，疼痛和肿胀没有不治愈的。过去有方剂叫天仙藤散（由天仙藤、香附子、陈皮、甘草、乌药各等分研成末，用木瓜、生姜、苏叶煎汤送服），用来治疗子肿。从这也大概可以了解其概况了。它的叶子像葛藤，圆形而小，表面有白色绒毛，根部有须根，四季都不凋谢的就是它。
（石草类）具有破除瘀血、驱逐败血、补益骨骼的作用。
骨碎补（专门作用于肾经，兼入心经）。味道苦而温。功效专门入肾以补骨，而且能入心以破血。因此肾虚引起的耳鸣（耳朵归属于肾）、长期腹泻（肾脏主管开合的功能，长期腹泻多归咎于肾）、跌打损伤导致的骨痛、牙痛出血，无不使用此药来调理。（对于泄泻，将药研成末，放入猪肾中煨熟食用；对于牙痛，炒黑后研成末擦牙；对于折伤，用粥调和药末包裹患处。）使其肾脏得到补益，骨骼坚固，破除瘀血并生成新血，疾病随即消除。至于给它命名为“骨碎补”，是因为它能修复破碎的骨骼的缘故。虽然它与补骨脂相似，但总不如补骨脂药性专一于固肾通心，而没有逐瘀破血的治疗作用。使用时需去毛，用蜂蜜拌蒸后使用。
（香木类）具有温暖血分、驱除寒冷、止痛的作用。
桂心（专门作用于心经）。来源于肉桂，去掉外层的粗皮，取正中心的部分，称为桂心。味道甘辛，性质热。是专门温暖营分内部药物的代表。凡是九种心痛（所谓九种，一种是虫痛，二是疰病痛，三是风痛，四是悸痛，五是食积痛，六是饮停痛，七是冷痛，八是热痛，九是往来无常之痛。后人又沿袭其义将其分为另外九种，即饮、食、气、血、冷、热、悸、蛊、痰，都明确说明是由于邪气侵犯手少阴心经的络脉而形成的）。腹内冷痛、癖积等病症，都能奏效。因为它所治疗的部位在心，所以治疗也在于体内深处，而不在于躯壳之外。不像肉桂，未去除外层皮肉时，其治疗作用在于通达经络，以祛除风寒湿痹，而不专门进入心腹内部。
(Medicinal Vines) Invigorate blood and promote diuresis.
Tianxianteng (Dichroa Radix / Aristolochiae Caulis, specifically entering the Liver and Spleen meridians). It is the vine of Qingmuxiang (Aristolochia contorta) or Madouling (Aristolochia debilis). Its taste is bitter, and its nature is warm. According to textual discussions on its indications, it is primarily indicated for edema during pregnancy (Zizhong, fetal edema). This condition begins in both feet, gradually progressing to chest tightness and dyspnea resembling fluid retention, with exudation from the toes, known as "Ziqi" (fetal qi disease). It is also used for abdominal pain, wind-lao (chronic deficiency conditions), and other syndromes, but does not cover other ailments. The rationale for its treatment lies in the fact that bitterness primarily promotes drainage and dispersion, while warmth facilitates circulation and activation. Thus, it can invigorate blood and unblock collaterals, ensuring free flow of fluids, elimination of wind pathogens, smooth movement of blood, and resolution of pain and swelling. In the past, the formula Tianxianteng San (composed of equal parts of Tianxianteng, Xiangfuzi [Cyperi Rhizoma], Chenpi [Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium], Gancao [Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma], and Wuyao [Linderae Radix], ground into powder and taken with a decoction of Mugua [Chaenomelis Fructus], Shengjiang [Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens], and Ziyè [Perillae Folium]) was used to treat fetal edema. From this, one may grasp its general application. The leaves resemble those of kudzu, are round and small, covered with white hairs; the roots have fibrous rootlets, and the plant remains evergreen throughout the four seasons.
(Stony Medicinals) Break up stasis, expel blood, and tonify bone.
Gusuibu (Drynariae Rhizoma, specifically entering the Kidney meridian, and additionally entering the Heart meridian). Its taste is bitter and its nature is warm. Its efficacy specifically enters the Kidney to tonify bone, and it can also enter the Heart to break up blood stasis. Therefore, it is used for tinnitus due to Kidney deficiency (the ears belong to the Kidney), chronic diarrhea (the Kidney governs the function of opening and closing; chronic diarrhea is often attributed to the Kidney), bone pain from falls and trauma, and bleeding toothache. All these conditions are treated with this herb. (For diarrhea, grind the herb into powder and stew it inside a pig kidney; for toothache, stir-fry until blackened, grind into powder, and apply to the teeth; for fractures, mix the powder with congee and wrap it around the injured area.) This ensures the Kidney is tonified and bones become firm, breaking up stasis and generating new tissue, thereby eliminating the disease. It is named "Gusuibu" (Bone Mender) because it repairs broken bones. Although similar to Buguzhi (Psoraleae Fructus), it is not as effective as Buguzhi in specifically consolidating the Kidney and unblocking the Heart without the action of expelling stasis and breaking blood. Before use, remove the hairs, mix with honey, and steam.
(Fragrant Woods) Warm the blood level, dispel cold, and relieve pain.
Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex Medulla, specifically entering the Heart meridian). Derived from Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), it is obtained by removing the outer rough bark and taking the central part, which is called Guixin. Its taste is sweet and pungent, and its nature is hot. It is a representative herb that specifically warms the interior of the Ying (Nutritive) level. It is effective for all nine types of heart pain (The nine types refer to: 1. worm pain, 2. zhū disease pain, 3. wind pain, 4. palpitation pain, 5. food stagnation pain, 6. fluid retention pain, 7. cold pain, 8. heat pain, 9. wandering pain. Later scholars expanded on this concept, categorizing them into another nine types: fluid, food, qi, blood, cold, heat, palpitation, gu parasite, and phlegm, all clearly indicating that pathogenic factors invade the collaterals of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart meridian). It is also effective for cold pain in the abdomen and pi accumulations (masses). Since its therapeutic target is the Heart, its action is directed inward rather than outward on the body surface. Unlike Rougui, which retains the outer bark and flesh and acts to unblock meridians and collaterals to dispel wind-cold-damp bi syndrome, Guixin does not act externally but specifically enters the interior of the Heart and abdomen.
