根和叶：气味辛、温，有微毒。归足太阴脾经和足阳明胃经。其性辛香走窜，内可通达心、脾，下至肠胃，外达四肢。能治疗一切不正之气（邪气），主治痧疹、痘疮透发不畅。能助消化，通心窍，利大小肠，疏通小肠气机。诸疮疡多与心营血分有关，血内摄于脾，心脾之气，得芳香则运行通畅，得臭恶之气则壅滞阻塞。因此，若痘疹透发不快，可用胡荽酒喷洒患处。能辟除恶气，床帐上下左右皆可悬挂，以抵御汗气、狐臭、天癸异常等秽浊之气。如果小儿体虚，且正值天时阴雨潮湿，用此法最为适宜。若小儿体质壮实，又逢春夏晴暖季节，若再加酒曲助长热势，会使火聚热盛，导致痘疮变为黑陷危证。不可不谨慎。
胡荽禀受金气较多，火气较少，所以味辛香，性温，有微毒。（仲淳）对于痘疹透发不畅，取胡荽二两切碎，用酒二盏，煎沸后浇在胡荽上，盖严，不要漏气，待冷却后去渣，微微含漱并喷洒全身。从项背喷至足部，令药气遍布全身，但勿喷头面部。
芫荽子：味辛、酸，气平，炒用。能促使痘疹透发，去除鱼腥味。用于痔漏、脱肛。取胡荽子一升，粟糠一升，加水适量，用小口瓶烧烟熏蒸患处。
缪氏认为，气虚之人不宜食用。若痘疹透发不快，并非因风寒外侵或秽恶之气触碰所致者，不宜使用。
产于宁夏的大茴香，大如麦粒，质地轻且有细棱。其他产地较小的称为小茴香。自海外商船运来的，大如柏树果实，裂成八瓣，瓣核如豆，褐色，味甜，称为八角茴香，即舶茴香。
子：气味辛香，大甘微苦，性温，属阳，主浮。归胃、肾二经，兼入心、小肠、膀胱经。能开胃下气，止呕吐，暖丹田，是补益命门不足的良药。主治膀胱冷气痛，以及小肠气、肾劳、疝气、阴痛、少腹痛等。方书中记载治疗腰腹胁痛、泄泻、积聚、伤食、虚劳、咳喘、呃逆、诸逆冲上、恶寒、水肿、霍乱、香港脚（脚气）、滞下（痢疾）、小便不利等症。

Hu Su (Coriander), also known as Yuan Su.
Roots and Leaves: The flavor is pungent and warm, with slight toxicity. It enters the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. Its nature is pungent and aromatic, moving and penetrating; internally it communicates with the Heart and Spleen, descends to the intestines and stomach, and externally reaches the four limbs. It treats all kinds of pathogenic qi (evil qi), and is indicated for mumps, chickenpox, and smallpox that fail to erupt properly. It aids digestion, opens the orifices of the Heart, promotes urination in both large and small intestines, and unblocks Qi mechanism in the Small Intestine. All sores and ulcers are related to the Ying Blood of the Heart; blood is controlled internally by the Spleen. The Qi of the Heart and Spleen flows smoothly when aided by aromatic substances, but becomes stagnant and obstructed by foul odors. Therefore, if smallpox fails to erupt well, Hu Su wine can be sprayed on the affected areas. It repels evil qi; bed curtains above, below, left, and right can be hung with it to ward off sweat odor, fox odor, abnormal Tian Gui (menstruation/sexual fluids), and other turbid airs. If the child is weak and the weather is rainy and damp, this method is most suitable. However, if the child is robust and the season is spring or summer with clear and warm weather, adding yeast may exacerbate heat, causing fire to gather and heat to accumulate, leading to blackened and sunken lesions (a critical condition). Caution is essential.
Hu Su receives more Metal Qi and less Fire Qi, hence its pungent aroma, warm nature, and slight toxicity. (Zhong Chun) For smallpox that fails to erupt well, take two liang of chopped Hu Su, pour two cups of boiling wine over it, cover tightly to prevent vapor loss, let it cool, strain, and gently gargle and spray the body. Spray from the neck and back down to the feet, ensuring coverage, but avoid spraying the head and face.
Hu Su Seeds: The flavor is pungent and sour, the nature is neutral, used after stir-frying. It promotes the eruption of smallpox and removes fishy odors. It is used for hemorrhoids, fistulas, and rectal prolapse. Take one sheng of Hu Su seeds and one sheng of millet bran, add water, and smoke the affected area using a narrow-necked bottle.
Mu Shi stated that people with Qi deficiency should not consume it. If smallpox fails to erupt due to causes other than external invasion of Wind-Cold or contact with foul qi, it should not be used.
Da Hui Xiang (Fennel) produced in Ningxia is as large as wheat grains, light in weight, and has fine ridges. Those produced elsewhere that are smaller are called Xiao Hui Xiang (Small Fennel). Imported via foreign ships, those as large as cypress seeds, splitting into eight segments, with seed cores like beans, brownish in color and sweet in taste, are called Ba Jiao Hui Xiang (Star Anise), also known as Bo Hui Xiang (Imported Fennel).
Seeds: The flavor is pungent and aromatic, very sweet and slightly bitter, the nature is warm, belonging to Yang, and floating. It enters the Stomach and Kidney meridians, and additionally the Heart, Small Intestine, and Bladder meridians. It opens the stomach, directs Qi downward, stops vomiting, warms the Dantian, and is a medicine for tonifying insufficiency of the Ming Men (Gate of Life). It primarily treats cold pain in the Bladder, Qi stagnation in the Small Intestine, Kidney exhaustion, hernia, Yin pain, and lower abdominal pain. Medical texts record its use for treating waist and abdominal pain, flank pain, diarrhea, accumulations, food stagnation, deficiency-wasting disorders, coughing and wheezing, belching, rebellious Qi rushing upward, aversion to cold, edema, cholera, Hong Kong foot (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or gouty arthritis, historically referring to severe foot swelling/pain), and dysentery (Zhi Xia), and difficulty in urination.
Treating conditions combined with the Bladder often involves pungent and warm agents. Ancient formulas for treating hernias mostly employ this herb.

[Discussion] Hui Xiang is a perennial root plant, sprouting in deep winter. Lu Shi’s concept of "returning Yang during the time of Peeling" corresponds exactly to Dong Yuan’s statement about tonifying the insufficiency of the Ming Men. Its flavor... Yang...

Furthermore, the conditions treated by this herb, such as waist pain, diarrhea, accumulations, deficiency-wasting, and abdominal pain, also rely on its ability to direct fire into water, thereby benefiting the Original Yang within the Kidney. However, combined with Fu Zi to tonify Yang and expel Dampness... For those with excessive Fire in the Stomach and Kidney, frequent erections, and vomiting upon receiving heat, do not take it. (Zhong Chun) For those with Heat in the Small Intestine and Bladder, administering it will worsen the disease. Xiao Hui Xiang is neutral.
[Processing] Dry by baking between papers, grind to an extremely fine powder. Ba Jiao Hui Xiang is processed similarly. It works best with wine. For ascending action, stir-fry with wine until yellow; for descending action, stir-fry with salt water.
