【茯神】
气味平和。味道甘甜。没有毒性。主要能辟除不祥之气。治疗因风邪引起的眩晕和虚证。缓解五脏劳损导致的口干。制止惊悸、易怒和健忘。
能够开启心窍、益智安神。安定魂魄。滋养精神。
茯神气味平和，禀受秋季平和的金气，归属于手太阴肺经。味道甘甜且无毒，获得大地中正的土味，归属于足太阴脾经。
气味平和而调和，在沉降中带有升发之性，属于阴的性质。茯神味甘气平，具备中正的气味，能调和脾脏和肺脏，位居人体天地之中，所以能够辟除不祥。所有的风病都归属于肝木，肝木虚弱则风动导致眩晕。茯神味甘性缓，可以补益肝的损伤；气平能清肃金气，从而平息风木之动。五劳，是指五脏劳损其神志。五脏神伤，则阴火妄动而导致口干。茯神甘平，能安神，所以能止住口干。惊悸、多怒、善忘，都是心肾不交、肝木不安宁的症状。茯神气平能补益肺气，肺气下降，则心火也随之下降相交；味甘能补益脾气，脾气上升，则肾水也随之上升相交。大概天地位置确定则水火安宁，土金充实则风木安定，这是五行相互制约的道理。所谓开启心窍、益智，都是气平补益肺脏的功效。肺脏功能增强，则水道通畅而心火受到制约，所以心神开朗光明。肺脏功能增强，则金能生水（肾），所以技巧涌现而智慧增加。肝是魂的居所，肺是魄的处所。茯神气平补益肺气，肺安宁则肝柔和，所以能安定魂魄。精是阴的精华，神是阳的灵明。茯神味甘补益脾气，脾调和则饮食正常摄入，精神因此得到滋养。
制方：
茯神与沉香制成丸剂，名为朱雀丸。治疗心神恍惚。研为细末，用艾叶汤送服。治疗心孔出汗，以及心虚导致的梦遗白浊。
【松花】
气温。味甘。无毒。主要能滋润心肺。益气。祛风。止血。也可以用来酿酒。
松花气温，禀受春季温和的木气，归属于足厥阴肝经。味甘无毒，获得大地中正的土味，归属于足太阴脾经。
气味都具有升发的特性，属于阳的性质。它主要能滋润心肺，是因为饮食进入胃后，脾气散布精微物质，输送到心肺。松花味甘能补益脾气，气温能推动运行，脾为胃传输津液，输送到心肺，所以能滋润心肺。所谓益气，是指气温能补益肝脏的阳气，味甘能补益脾脏的阴气。风气通应于肝，气温能疏散肝气，所以能祛风。脾统摄血液，味甘能调和脾脏，所以能止血。可以用来酿酒，是因为其清香芳烈，适宜于酒。
制方：
松花与山药、白芍、甘草、茯苓同用。治疗泄泻。

[Fushen]
The Qi is neutral. The flavor is sweet. It is non-toxic. It primarily dispels inauspiciousness, treats dizziness and deficiency caused by wind pathogenic factors, relieves dry mouth due to five types of exhaustion (Wu Lao), stops palpitations, excessive anger, and forgetfulness.
It opens the heart orifice, enhances intelligence, calms the soul and spirit, and nourishes the spirit.
Fushen has neutral Qi, inheriting the autumnal neutral Metal Qi, entering the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. Its sweet flavor and non-toxic nature derive from the central Earth flavor of the earth, entering the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.
With neutral and harmonious Qi, it descends while containing ascending properties, belonging to Yin. Fushen’s sweet flavor and neutral Qi possess central and correct qualities, harmonizing the Spleen and Lung, occupying the position of Heaven and Earth in the body, thus capable of dispelling inauspiciousness. All wind diseases belong to Liver Wood; when Wood is deficient, wind moves causing dizziness. Its sweet flavor and slow nature can benefit Liver injuries; its neutral Qi clears Metal, thereby settling Wind Wood. "Five exhaustions" refer to the spiritual damage of the five Zang organs. When the spirits of the five Zang are damaged, Yin fire flares up causing dry mouth. Fushen is sweet and neutral, calming the Spirit, thus stopping dry mouth. Palpitations, irritability, and forgetfulness are symptoms of Heart-Kidney non-interaction and restless Liver Wood. Fushen’s neutral Qi benefits Lung Qi; as Lung Qi descends, Heart Fire also descends to interact. Its sweet flavor benefits Spleen Qi; as Spleen Qi ascends, Kidney Water also ascends to interact. Generally, when Heaven and Earth positions are settled, Water and Fire are peaceful; when Earth and Metal are substantial, Wind Wood is stabilized. This is the way of mutual restriction among the Five Elements. The effects of opening the heart orifice and enhancing intelligence are all due to the benefit of Lung Qi via neutral Qi. When the Lung is benefited, water passages flow freely and Heart Fire is controlled, so the Heart Spirit becomes open and bright. When the Lung is benefited, Metal generates Kidney Water, so skills emerge and intelligence increases. The Liver is the dwelling of the Hun (Ethereal Soul), and the Lung is the abode of the Po (Corporeal Soul). Fushen’s neutral Qi benefits the Lung; when the Lung is tranquil, the Liver is harmonious, thus calming the Hun and Po. Jing (Essence) is the splendor of Yin, and Shen (Spirit) is the spirituality of Yang. Fushen’s sweet flavor benefits the Spleen; when the Spleen is harmonious, food and drink are ingested, and the Spirit is nourished.
Prescription:
Fushen combined with Chenxiang (Aquilaria Wood) forms a pill named Zhuque Wan (Vermilion Bird Pill). It treats vague mental state. Pulverized into fine powder, taken with Mugwort decoction. It treats sweating at the heart orifice, and seminal emission with white turbidity due to Heart deficiency.
[Songhua - Pine Pollen]
The Qi is warm. The flavor is sweet. It is non-toxic. It primarily moistens the Heart and Lungs, tonifies Qi, eliminates wind, stops bleeding, and can also be used for brewing wine.
Songhua has warm Qi, inheriting the spring mild Wood Qi, entering the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. Its sweet flavor and non-toxic nature derive from the central Earth flavor of the earth, entering the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.
Both Qi and flavor are ascending, belonging to Yang. Its ability to moisten the Heart and Lungs works because after food enters the Stomach, Spleen Qi scatters essence and transports it to the Heart and Lungs. Songhua’s sweet flavor benefits the Spleen, and its warm Qi promotes movement. The Spleen transmits fluids for the Stomach to the Heart and Lungs, thus moistening them. Tonifying Qi refers to the warm Qi benefiting Liver Yang Qi, and the sweet flavor benefiting Spleen Yin Qi. Wind Qi communicates with the Liver; warm Qi disperses Liver Qi, thus eliminating wind. The Spleen controls blood; sweet flavor harmonizes the Spleen, thus stopping bleeding. It can be brewed into wine because of its clear fragrance and strong aroma, which suits wine.
Prescription:
Songhua combined with Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Baishao (White Peony Root), Gancao (Licorice Root), and Fuling (Poria) treats diarrhea.
Combined with Hongqu (Red Yeast Rice), Shanyao, Beiwei (Schisandra Berry), Rousongrong (Cistanche Stem), Baishao, and Duzhong (Eucommia Bark). It treats Kidney diarrhea.
Specifically soaked in wine. It treats vertigo and brain swelling.
