《药性考》记载：此药产自广东，由海外商船运来。味苦，能祛除恶气、开胃、止住呕吐反胃。
《百草镜》记载：此药由粤澳地区的洋船运来，颜色紫黑，香气浓烈，气味如同肉桂。有人说它是肉桂的脂膏；也有人说它是由桂子榨取而成，不知哪种说法正确。其性热且气猛，入心经和脾经，功效与肉桂相同。
《传信方》记载：治疗各种疟疾，用灯草一根，长约三至四寸，用水稍微润湿，再用肉桂油涂抹，贴在背部风府穴下方，直至肺俞穴为止，外用绵纸条封固。必须在发病前一两个时辰进行，或者提前一天效果更好。贴敷后的第二天，疟疾发作可能会更重，但随后会逐渐减轻，这是因为风寒暑湿等邪气被提引而出的缘故。
水安息香产于广东，由洋船运来，波斯和交趾地区也有出产。形状像荔枝但更大，外面有壳包裹，皮色也如鲜荔枝一样。打开后里面有香气，状如胶漆，呈黄褐色，气味非常浓郁芬芳。这种物品如果开封后未用完，必须连同外壳放在碗中，才不会挥发流失，否则遇到五月梅雨季节，其汁液会自然充满并溢出壳外，即使壳内残留少许，也会溢出，这也是一个奇异之处。《本草纲目》中安息香条目下所说的都是干燥者，称其为树脂。在“集解”部分引用叶廷珪的《香录》说：像饴糖那样粘稠的，称为安息油，就是这种物质。李时珍（濒湖）又未详细阐述其功用。如今此物颇为流行，故采集补充以备常用。其壳若有丝毫裂缝，油就会挥发流失，需用沥青熬化后滴入填补。《百草镜》说：安息香有水安息和旱安息两种，水安息难得，焚烧这种香时，在旁边放置水盂测试，其香烟投入水中，还会凝结成香，只是分量稍减而已。《五杂俎》说：安息香能聚集老鼠，其烟白色如丝缕，笔直上升不散开。
水安息香味辛、性平、无毒，能通心神，祛除邪祟，辟除蛊毒，止心痛，排出鬼胎，入心经，通肾气，尤其有益于房事，所以龟灵剂用它来兴阳，反魂丹用它来救急，但它大耗真气，凡是气虚兼有火邪的人不可服用。忌见火。《药性考》记载：水安息香辛苦、性温，能祛除风寒霍乱，暖肾兴阳，治疗心腹蛊气、血淋遗精、鬼交鬼孕、熏劳瘵（肺结核）。
《辟瘟丹》方：陈杰《回生集》中使用红枣二斤，茵陈切碎八两，大黄切片八两，水安息五钱，合在一起制成锭剂，每天早晨焚烧。
《种子二方》：周氏家宝方使用潮脑升华得到的白霜一两，麝香二钱，枯矾三钱，龙骨三钱，良姜三钱，五倍子二钱，明雄黄二钱，水安息、母丁香、酥合油各五钱，官桂三钱，轻粉二钱，紫梢花二钱，大山茨菰三钱，共研为细末，用炼蜜制成丸药，大小如梧桐子，用腊丸封固。月经结束后纳入一丸，次日再纳一丸，种子效果如神。同时治疗血淋、白带、阴疮、阴蚀、杨梅疮毒等症状。
另一方：真川附子一个（重量在一两二三钱的），山茨菰四钱，这两味药要用童便浸透，焙干后研末；川乌八钱，五倍子三钱，这两味药一同研末；水安息五钱，生蟾酥八钱，这两味药一同研磨；不麻草乌五钱，明雄黄五钱，这两味药一同研末；官桂五钱，母丁香八钱，一同研末；酥合油五钱，真鸦片三钱，一同研末；紫梢花三钱，蛇床子一两，倭硫黄五钱，轻粉五钱，以上药物研为末，同白芨五钱煎水，混合前面的药打成锭剂。每次行房时用唾液磨取少许涂抹阴茎头部，能治疗精滑以及久不生子，并且能解毒，遇到疮疡也不感染。如果在早、午、晚各涂抹一次，长久坚持，更有神效。与前一方男女共同使用更佳，或者再加人参五钱尤其奇妙。
*Yao Xing Kao* (Study of Drug Properties): This drug originates from Guangdong, brought by ships from overseas. It has a bitter taste, eliminates evil qi, opens the stomach, and stops vomiting and regurgitation.
*Bai Cao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs): Brought by foreign ships to Yue'ao (Canton-Macao), it is purple in color with a strong fragrance, smelling like Cinnamon Bark (Rou Gui). Some say it is the resin of Cinnamon; others claim it is pressed from cinnamon seeds, though it is unknown which is correct. Its nature is hot and its action is fierce; it enters the Heart and Spleen channels, and its efficacy is identical to that of Cinnamon Twig (Gui Zhi) / Cinnamon Bark (Rou Gui).
*Chuan Xin Fang* (Passing Faith Prescription): To treat various types of malaria, take one stalk of rush grass (Deng Cao), approximately three to four cun long, moisten it slightly with water, then coat it with Cinnamon Twig Oil (Rou Gui You). Apply it to the back below the Fengfu (GV16) acupoint down to the Feishu (BL13) acupoint, and seal it externally with strips of cotton paper. This must be done one or two shichen (hours) before the onset of the attack, or preferably one day prior. The next day after application, the malaria may manifest more severely, but subsequently it will gradually decrease. This occurs because the pathogenic factors of wind, cold, summer-heat, and dampness are all drawn out.
Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin) is produced in Guangdong, brought by foreign ships, and also found in Persia and Cochinchina. Its shape resembles a lychee but is larger, wrapped in a shell, with skin color similar to fresh lychees. Upon opening, there is an internal fragrance resembling glue or lacquer, yellow-brown in color, with a very rich and fragrant aroma. If this substance is opened and not used up entirely, it must be placed in a bowl with its outer shell to prevent volatilization; otherwise, during the plum rain season in May, its juice will naturally fill and overflow the shell. Even if only a small amount remains inside, it will still overflow, which is quite peculiar. The *Ben Cao Gang Mu* (Compendium of Materia Medica) states regarding Anxi Xiang (Benzoin Resin) that what is described are dry forms, identified as resin. In the "Ji Jie" (Collected Explanations) section, citing Ye Tinggui's *Xiang Lu* (Record of Incense), it says: that which resembles maltose is called Anxi You (Benzoin Oil), which is this kind of substance. Li Shizhen (Binhu) did not detail its functions. Currently, it is quite popular, so it is collected and supplemented for future use. If its shell has even the slightest crack, the oil will volatilize and leak, requiring melted asphalt to be dripped in to seal it. *Bai Cao Jing* states: There are two types of Anxi Xiang: Water Anxi Xiang and Dry Anxi Xiang. Water Anxi Xiang is rare. When burning it, place a water basin nearby to test; its smoke, when thrown into the water, condenses back into incense, with only a slight reduction in weight. *Wu Za Zu* states: Anxi Xiang can attract mice; its smoke is white like threads, rising straight up without dispersing.
It has a pungent flavor, is neutral in nature, and non-toxic. It unblocks the heart spirit, dispels evil spirits, wards off gu poison, stops heart pain, expels ghost fetus, enters the Heart channel, unblocks Kidney qi, and is particularly beneficial for sexual intercourse. Therefore, Guiling Ji (Tortoise Spirit Preparation) uses it to promote yang erection, and Fanhun Dan (Reviving Soul Pill) uses it for emergency rescue. However, it greatly consumes true qi, so it should not be taken by those with qi deficiency accompanied by fire. Avoid exposure to fire. *Yao Xing Kao*: Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin) is pungent and bitter, warm in nature. It dispels wind-cold cholera, warms the Kidney and promotes yang, treats heart and abdominal gu qi, hematuria, spermatorrhea, ghost intercourse/ghost pregnancy, and fumigates phthisis (tuberculosis).
*Pi Wen Dan* (Plague-Warding Pill): Chen Jie's *Hui Sheng Ji* (Collection Reviving Life) uses 2 jin of red dates, 8 liang of finely chopped Yinchen (Artemisia capillaris), 8 liang of sliced Dahuang (Rhubarb), and 5 qian of Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin), combined into pill cakes. Burn one each morning.
*Zhong Zi Er Fang* (Two Formulas for Conception): Zhou Shi Jia Bao formula uses 1 liang of Baichuang (Camphor frost sublimated from borneol), 2 qian of Shexiang (Musk), 3 qian of Kufan (Alum), 3 qian of Longgu (Fossilized Bones), 3 qian of Liangjiang (Galangal), 2 qian of Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis), 2 qian of Mingxiong (Realgar), 5 qian each of Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin) and Mudingxiang (Mother Clove), Suhe You (Styrax Oil), 3 qian of Guanzi Gui (Official Cinnamon), 2 qian of Qingfen (Calomel), 2 qian of Zishaohua (Acanthopanacis Senticosi Caulis), and 3 qian of Dashan Cigu (Colocasia esculenta). Grind all into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of tung tree seeds, seal with wax. Insert one pill after menstruation, and another the next day. The effect on conception is miraculous. It also treats hematuria, leukorrhea, yin sores, yin erosion, and syphilis toxins.
Another Formula: One real Chuan Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root), weighing 1 liang 2-3 qian, and 4 qian of Shan Cigu (Colocasia esculenta). These two ingredients must be soaked in child's urine, dried by roasting, and ground into powder. 8 qian of Chuan Wu (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root) and 3 qian of Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis) are ground together into powder. 5 qian of Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin) and 8 qian of Sheng Chansu (Fresh Toad Venom) are ground together. 5 qian of Buma Caowu (Aconitum kusnezoffii) and 5 qian of Mingxiong (Realgar) are ground together into powder. 5 qian of Guanzi Gui (Official Cinnamon) and 8 qian of Mudingxiang (Mother Clove) are ground together into powder. 5 qian of Suhe You (Styrax Oil) and 3 qian of Zhen Yopian (True Opium) are ground together into powder. 3 qian of Zishaohua (Acanthopanacis Senticosi Caulis), 1 liang of Shechuangzi (Cnidium Fruit), 5 qian of Wowuhuang (Sulfur), and 5 qian of Qingfen (Calomel). Grind the above medicines into powder, boil with 5 qian of Baiji (Bletilla Rhizome) in water, and mix with the previous powders to form pill cakes. During intercourse, grind a small amount with saliva and apply to the glans penis. It treats seminal emission and infertility due to prolonged failure to conceive, and detoxifies, preventing infection from sores. If applied once each in the morning, noon, and evening, and persisted in over time, the effect will be even more miraculous. Using it together with the previous formula for both men and women is better; adding 5 qian of Renshen (Ginseng) is especially wonderful.
For cheek perforation with sinus tract formation that does not heal for years. Xu Shi Formula: Apply Shui Anxi Xiang (Water Benzoin) to the area; the tract will dissolve and the toxin will heal.
