款冬蕊
味辛、甘,气温。属阳。无毒。生长在常山(县名,隶属于浙江)的山谷中,以及上党(注:前文已提及)的水边。叶子大而茂密丛生,形状像葵菜;花朵从根部生出,形态像菊花。在百草之中,只有它不顾及冰雪,是最先迎来春天的植物。原本称为“钻冻”,现在称为“款冬”。选取尚未舒展的嫩花蕾采收,去掉向外包裹的花瓣零碎外壳。用甘草汤浸泡一夜,待干燥后揉碎才能煎煮。忌与硝石、皂荚、玄参同用,畏惧麻黄、辛夷、贝母,同时也畏惧黄芩、黄连、黄芪、青葙这四味药。(黄芩、黄连、黄芪、青葙。)以杏仁为引经药,适宜与紫菀配伍。治疗肺痈化脓、血液腥臭,停止肺咳、痰唾稠粘。滋润肺部,泻除火邪,降气平定气喘。消除心虚导致的惊悸,去除邪热引起的惊痫。补益虚弱,消除烦闷,清洗肝脏以明目。又能驱除久咳,将其烧烟吸入即可。

**Kuaodong Rui (Buds of Tussilago Farfara)**
Pungent, sweet; warm in nature. Yang category. Non-toxic. Grows in the valleys of Changshan (a county name, belonging to Zhejiang) and near the waters of Shangdang (mentioned previously). The leaves are large, dense, and clustered, resembling *Brassica pekinensis* (Napa cabbage); the flowers emerge from the roots, resembling *Chrysanthemum morifolium* (Chrysanthemum). Among all herbs, only this one disregards ice and snow, being the first to greet spring. Originally called "Zuandong" (Drilling through Ice), now known as "Kuandong". Select the tender buds before they unfold for collection, removing the outer scattered bracts. Soak in Licorice Decoction (*Gancao Tang*) overnight, dry, then crumble before decocting.

Averse to Ephedra Stem (*Mahuang*), Magnolia Flower (*Xinyi*), and Fritillaria Bulb (*Beimu*), and also averse to Scutellaria Root (*Huangqin*), Coptis Rhizome (*Huanglian*), Astragalus Root (*Huangqi*), and Celosia Seed (*Qingxiang*). Guided by Almond Seed (*Xingren*), harmonizes well with Pulsatilla Root (*Ziwan*). Treats lung abscess with purulent, bloody, and foul-smelling sputum; stops pulmonary cough with thick, sticky phlegm. Moistens the lungs, drains fire pathogens, directs qi downward, and calms panting. Resolves palpitations due to heart deficiency, dispels convulsions and epilepsy caused by pathogenic heat. Tonifies deficiency, eliminates vexation, clears the liver, and brightens the eyes. Also expels chronic cough; smoke it and inhale.
**Ziwan (Pulsatilla Root)**
Bitter, pungent; warm in nature. Non-toxic. Commonly grown near inhabited areas, but those from Zhending (a commandery name, belonging to Northern Zhili) are superior. The roots are very soft and fine, harvested in early spring. Wash with water, remove the head, soak in honey overnight, then bake for use. Avoid Polyporus (*Leiwuan*) and Polygala Root (*Yuanzhi*). Adverse with Ditchweed Herb (*Qumai*) and Aconite Lateral Root (*Tianxiong*). Averse to Artemisia Capillaris (*Yinchenhao*). Guided by Kuaodong Rui. Primarily treats cough with rebellious qi and wheezing, pulmonary phlegm with pus expectoration; treats pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, cold-heat stagnation. Can tonify deficiency in consumptive diseases, and驱除 (expel) gu poison and flaccidity. Usually combined with Stemona Root (*Baibu*) and Kuaodong Rui, ground into powder, and taken with Ginger and Mume Soup. Jointly treat chronic cough, achieving miraculous results. (Kuaodong Rui 1 liang each, Stemona Root 5 qian, ground into powder; take 3 qian per dose. Send down with Ginger and Mume soup, once after meals and once before bed. Nuwan has similar properties, produced in the mountains and rivers of Hanzhong (a commandery name, belonging to Shaanxi). Also known as Baiwan, only averse to saline substances. When Ziwan is unavailable, this can be used as a substitute. Also primarily treats convulsions, epilepsy, cold-heat, and wheezing; stops cholera-like diarrhea, dysentery, and borborygmus. Clears frequent cough due to lung injury, removes fullness in the bladder.)
