沾交(即现在的蜜枳缴枝,又称交加枝)。铁遇到神砂,会变得像泥一样软、像粉一样细;石头经过鹤粪的处理,会化作尘土飞扬。见到橘子花,(其质地)如同骨髓一般。断掉的琴弦和折断的剑,遇到鸾血就能恢复如初(用鸾血炼制成药胶,粘合断裂处,铁器永远不再断裂);大海枯竭、江河干涸,投入游波(即燕子),水面立刻泛起波澜。想要让铅抗拒火炼,必须依靠修天(现在称为补天石);如果想要形体坚固,怎能忘记紫背(有一种紫背天葵,形状像平常吃的葵菜,只是背面紫色、正面青色,能使铅的形体坚固)。
留住砒霜在鼎中不挥发,全赖宗心(另有宗心草,现在称为石竹,不是食用的粽子心,恐怕弄错。这种草出产于某州,生长之处多虫兽);雌黄遇到芹花就能固定(这种草名为立起,形状像芍药,花色青,可长三尺以上,叶上有黄色斑点,味道苦涩,可以使用,煮雌黄时加入它,火性立刻停止),随即形成沉淀。遇到赤须(这种草名为赤须,现在称为虎须草,用来煮朱砂就会生火);水能留在金鼎之中。水中生火,除了猾髓之外没有谁能做到(海中有种兽名叫猾,将其髓放入油中,这种油粘附在水面上,水中便生出火来,无法扑灭。用酒喷洒即可停止。不要在屋檐下收集);牙齿脱落再生,依赖雄鼠骨末(如果牙齿多年不生,取雄鼠脊骨研成末,擦拭断裂处,牙齿立刻像原来一样长出)。眉毛头发脱落,涂抹半夏立刻生长(眉毛头发脱落者,用生半夏茎捣碎取汁液,涂在脱发处,立刻生长)。眼睛斜视或眼睑跳动,有五花(五加皮)自然端正(五加皮,其叶分雄雌,脚上长肉赘,系菪根(脚上长肉赘者,取莨菪根系在患处带上,感应后永不疼痛);小便频多,夜间煎服竹木(小便多者,夜间煎萆薢一件服用,永远不再夜起)。身体寒冷腹部胀大,全赖鸬鹚(如果患腹大如鼓,用米汤调服鸬鹚末,立刻痊愈如常);血液泛滥经过,饮调瓜子(甜瓜子内仁捣成末,去油,用饮料调服,立刻停止)。咳嗽气逆频繁,酒服熟天雄(天雄泡过后,用酒调服一钱,立刻安定);遍体疹风,冷酒调服生侧子(附子旁生的称为侧子,研成末用冷酒服,立刻痊愈)。肠道虚弱导致泻痢,须假五倍子(捣五倍子成末,用熟水送服,立刻停止);久渴心烦,宜投竹沥。消除症块,全仗硝砂(硝砂、硝石二味,在乳钵中研成粉,混合后,用酒服,神效也);增进食欲增加饭量,须煎芦根厚朴(不吃饭者,并饮酒少者,煎逆水芦根并浓朴二味,汤服)。强健筋骨,须是肉苁蓉鳝鱼(肉苁蓉并鳝鱼二味,研成末,以黄精汁丸。服之。可力倍常也。出《干宁记》中);驻色延年,精蒸神锦(黄精自然汁拌细研神锦,于柳木甑中蒸七日了,以木蜜丸服。颜貌可如幼女之容色也)。知疮所在,口点阴胶(阴胶,即是甑中气垢,少许于口中,可知脏腑所起,直至住处知痛,乃可医也);产后肌浮,甘皮酒服(产后肌浮,酒服甘皮,立愈)。口疮舌坼,立愈黄苏(口疮舌坼,以根黄涂酥炙作末,含之,立瘥);脑痛欲亡,鼻投硝末(头痛者,以硝石作末内鼻中,立止);心痛欲死,速觅延胡(以延胡索作散,酒服之,立愈)。
如此百种,是药之功。我愧遇明时,谬看医理;虽寻圣法,难可穷微。略陈药饵之功能,岂溺仙人之要术,其制药炮、熬、煮、炙,不能记年月哉?欲审元由,须看海集。我不量短见,直录炮、熬、煮、炙,列药制方,分为上、中、下三卷,有三百件名,具陈于后。
Zhanjiao (now known as Mizzhijiao Zhi, also called Jiaojia Zhi). When iron encounters Shensha (Cinnabar), it becomes soft like clay and fine like powder; stones treated with crane droppings turn into flying dust. Upon seeing orange blossoms, (the substance) resembles marrow. Broken strings and shattered swords return to their original state upon encountering Luanxue (Luan blood) (Luanxue is refined into a glue to bond broken parts, ensuring iron objects never break again); when seas dry up and rivers run dry, throwing in Youbo (swallows) causes the water surface to ripple immediately. To make lead resist fire refining, one must rely on Xiutian (now called Butianshi or Sky-Mending Stone); if one desires a solid form, how could one forget Zi Bei (Zi Bei Tian Kui, resembling common Malva verticillata but with a purple back and green front, capable of solidifying lead forms).
To keep Arsenic Trioxide stable in the crucible, reliance is entirely on Zongxin (There is a separate herb named Zongxin, now called Dianthus superbus, not the heart of a zongzi rice dumpling, lest confusion arise. This herb grows in certain prefectures where insects and beasts are abundant); Yinxiong (Realgar) is stabilized by Qin Hua (Celery flowers) (The herb is named Liqi, resembling Peony, with blue-green flowers reaching over three feet tall, leaves with yellow spots, bitter and astringent taste, usable; boiling Realgar with it stops its volatility immediately), forming a precipitate instantly. Encountering Chixu (named Chixu, now called Huxu Cao or Tiger Whisker Grass), using it to boil Cinnabar generates fire; water remains in the golden tripod. Fire generated in water cannot be achieved except through Huasui (A sea beast named Hu, whose marrow mixed with oil adheres to water, generating fire that cannot be extinguished; spraying with wine stops it. Do not collect under eaves); teeth regrow relying on Xiongshu Zhigu Mo (Male rat spinal bone powder) (If teeth fail to grow for many years, take male rat spine, grind to powder, rub on the site, and teeth regenerate as before). Fallen eyebrows and hair regrow instantly after applying Banxia (Pinellia ternata) (For fallen brows and hair, crush fresh Pinellia stems to extract juice, apply to bald areas for immediate growth). Strabismus or twitching eyes correct naturally with Wuhua (Wujiapi / Acanthopanacis Cortex) (Wujiapi has male and female leaves; fleshy growths on feet are tied with Langdang Gen / Datura metel root via a bandage, inducing relief from pain); frequent urination is cured by night-brewing Bamushu (Dissolve Bixie in water at night to stop nocturia). Cold body with abdominal distension relies on Lu'e (Cormorant) (For drum-like abdominal distension, mix Cormorant powder with rice water for immediate recovery); flooding blood is stopped by drinking Guazi (Sweet melon seed kernel powder, de-oiled, taken with liquid to halt bleeding instantly). Frequent coughing and rebellious Qi settle after taking Shu Xion (Processed Tianxiong /aconitum heterophyllum) dissolved in wine (Soaked Tianxiong, taken with wine, stabilizes immediately); generalized wind-rash clears with cold-sheng Cezi (Side-roots of Aconite, powdered and taken with cold wine for instant cure). Intestinal deficiency causing dysentery requires Caoling (Wugubeizi / Chinese Gall) (Gallnut powder taken with cooked water stops diarrhea instantly); prolonged thirst and vexation benefit from Zhuli (Bamboo Sap). Eliminating masses relies on Xiaosha (Saltpeter and Borax ground together and taken with wine for miraculous effect); increasing appetite requires Lu Pu Decoction (Reed rhizome and Magnolia bark decoction for poor appetite and low alcohol tolerance). Strengthening sinews and bones requires Congshan (Cistanche and Eel powder pills made with Polygonatum juice, doubling strength per Gan Ning Ji); preserving complexion and extending life requires Jingzheng Shenjin (Polygonatum juice steamed with Shenjin for seven days in willow steamers, formed into pills with honey, restoring youthful appearance). Knowing the location of sores involves pointing Yinjiao (Condensation from steamers placed in mouth to diagnose internal organ pain locations for treatment); postpartum edema resolves with Ganpi taken in wine (Licorice root powder in wine cures postpartum swelling instantly). Mouth ulcers and cracked tongues heal with Huangsu (Yellow root and butter powder held in mouth); severe headache relieved by Nasal Xiaomo (Saltpeter powder insufflated into nose stops pain instantly); fatal heartache seeks Yanhu (Yanhusuo powder taken in wine cures instantly).
Such are the merits of these hundred herbs. I, unworthy, encounter a bright era and mistakenly study medical principles; though seeking sage methods, it is hard to exhaust the subtleties. Briefly stating the functions of medicines, how could I indulge in immortal arts? Regarding processing methods—pao, ao, zhu, zhi—how can dates be recorded? To examine origins, one must consult Haiji. Ignoring my limited insight, I directly record pao, ao, zhu, zhi, listing herbal prescriptions, divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower volumes, containing three hundred items detailed below.
