味辛、苦，气大寒。沉也，阴中之阴。无毒。一云∶小毒，用之当熬。陕西河北俱多，
曹州（属山东）出者独胜。

愈。主症瘕积聚结气，理风
热瘙痒痱疮。久服虚人，须记勿记。

【曹州葶苈】
味道辛、苦，气性大寒。性质沉降，属于阴中之阴。无毒。另一种说法认为有小毒，使用时应当经过熬制。陕西和河北两地产量较多，但曹州（隶属于山东）出产的质量最为优异。
生长在田野之中，夏季采收。种子像黍米一样扁平，微小且呈微黄色，制作时需隔纸用文火略微炒制。忌与僵蚕、石龙芮同用；若与榆皮配伍，或加入酒炮制则效果良好。葶苈有甜、苦两种品种，根据病证的轻重分别选用。苦葶苈利水泄热作用迅速，对于形体壮实、病证严重的患者，在清除热气方面有特殊功效，消除面部和眼部浮肿及水气立竿见影。治疗肺痈导致喘息不能平卧，非此药难以痊愈；（主治方剂为葶苈大枣泻肺汤，出自张仲景的方书。）痰饮咳嗽不止，使用此药容易治愈。主要治疗症瘕积聚和气机郁结，调理风热引起的瘙痒和痱疮。久服会使体虚之人受损，务必记住这一点。
【徐州泽兰】
味道苦、甘。另一种说法认为味苦、辛，气性微温。无毒。多生长在水边沼泽地带，家园中也有种植。植株高度约二三尺，茎节呈紫色且方形；（有四条棱）。叶片尖端对生且有毛，表面不光滑润泽。八月开花，花色白色，形状与薄荷花相同。刚采摘时带有微辛的味道，这是其特异之处。采收入药时，若与防己配伍则效果良好。调理产后各种缠绵难愈的疾病，是妇科必寻之药；消除身体、面部及四肢浮肿，适宜在湿证中寻求。破除瘀血、去除症瘕有特殊功效，行散瘀血治疗跌打损伤容易见效。疏散头风、缓解目痛，追索并排出痈肿疮疡的脓液。促进肌肉生长，通利九窍。根部颜色紫黑，别名地笋。与粟根相似，凡是血证皆可治疗。妇女产后，可将其作为蔬菜食用。
另外，还有一种益奶草也可采收，治疗脱肛最为快捷。将其炙烤至香燥，浸泡在酒中饮用。
[Caozhou Tingli]
Taste: Acrid, Bitter. Nature: Greatly Cold. Property: Sinking, Yin within Yin. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Another view states it has slight toxicity and should be processed by roasting. It is abundant in Shaanxi and Hebei, but the variety from Caozhou (in Shandong) is superior.
It grows in fields and is harvested in summer. The seeds are flat like millet grains, small, and slightly yellow. For processing, they should be lightly stir-fried over a gentle fire through paper. It is incompatible with Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus) and Shilongrui (Ranunculus japonicus). It works well when combined with Yupi (Ulmus Pumila Bark) or prepared with wine. There are two types: sweet and bitter Tingli, used according to the severity of the condition. Bitter Tingli acts rapidly to promote urination and drain heat; it is particularly effective for clearing excess heat in patients with strong constitution and severe symptoms, providing immediate relief for edema of the face and eyes caused by water retention. It is difficult to cure lung abscess with wheezing and inability to lie down without this herb. (The primary formula is Tingli Dazao Xiefei Tang, from Zhang Zhongjing's works.) It facilitates recovery from persistent cough due to phlegm-fluids. It primarily treats masses and accumulations (Zhengjia Jiju) and qi stagnation, and manages itching and prickly heat caused by wind-heat. Long-term use may damage those with deficiency constitutions; this must be noted.
[Xuzhou Zelan]
Taste: Bitter, Sweet. Another view adds Acrid. Nature: Slightly Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It grows abundantly in watery marshes and is also cultivated in gardens. The plant is about two to three chi tall, with purple nodes and square stems (having four edges). The leaves are opposite, pointed, hairy, and not smooth or glossy. Flowers are white in August, resembling those of Bohe (Mint). Freshly picked, it has a slight acrid taste, which is unique. When used medicinally, it pairs well with Fangji (Stephania Tetrandra). It regulates various lingering diseases postpartum and is essential in gynecology; it reduces edema of the body, face, and limbs, making it suitable for dampness conditions. It excels at breaking old blood and eliminating masses, and effectively treats contusions by promoting blood circulation. It disperses head wind and relieves eye pain, and draws out pus from carbuncles and sores. It promotes flesh regeneration, opens orifices, and benefits the bowels. The root is dark purple-black, known as Dishun. It is similar to Sugeng (Polygonatum Kingianum Rhizome) and treats all blood-related disorders. Postpartum women can consume it as a vegetable.
Additionally, Yinaicao (a type of herb promoting lactation) can be harvested; it is most effective for rectal prolapse. It should be roasted until fragrant and dry, then soaked in wine and drunk.
