茄子
气味甘寒。主治散血止痛。消肿宽肠。（李时珍）茄子属土，所以味甘且性质喜降。大肠容易滑泄的人，忌食。（朱震亨）老黄茄子，治疗乳头皲裂；茄根煮汤，浸泡冻疮；折断茄蒂烧成灰，治疗口疮，都获得奇效。这都是利用其甘味以缓和、寒性以取冷的作用。筋脉拘急者，可将茄蒂烧灰入丸剂服用。
罐子（此处疑为衍文或特定部位指代，原文如此）蒂烧成灰，治疗口齿疮。用米饮送服灰末二钱，治疗肠风下血不止及血痔。生茄子切片，擦拭白癜风，治疗白癜风白斑。白色的用白茄蒂，紫色的用紫茄蒂，蘸硫磺和附子末撒布患处，取其散血的作用。（李时珍）鲜茄蒂与鲜首乌等量，连同根部及枯茎叶一起使用，主治中风、寒湿等各种证候，以及鹤膝风、疠风，能散血消肿。治疗血淋、便血、血痢、阴挺（子宫脱垂），牙齿疼痛、口腔溃烂、皮肤皴裂，煮汤浸泡效果良好。女阴脱出，将茄根烧存性，研为细末，用油调匀，用纸卷成筒状纳入阴道内，每日一次。
生蕈（蘑菇），用醋漱口后，将茄母（茄根结块处）烧成灰，与飞盐等份，用米醋调稀，时时擦拭患处。血淋疼痛，每次服用茄叶二钱，温酒或盐汤送下，隔年的茄叶效果更佳。牙齿疼痛，将陈年的茄树烧成灰敷贴患处，先以露蜂房煎水含漱。茄杆烧成灰淋取汁液，加入桑皮碱等药物，治疗各种痈肿疔疮有效。（陈实功）
〔论〕茄的气味甘寒。丹溪认为它属土，但黄色成熟在九月，已经禀受了深厚的金气，所以说它性质喜降。
〔修治〕适宜在九月黄熟时采收，洗净，阴干后使用。
叶子大的，不适合入药。小的，节叶间含有水银（注：此处可能指某种矿物成分或比喻，古籍中常以此形容其寒凉之性或杂质，需结合上下文理解，此处直译）。然而使用时也必须去掉茎，因为茎确实没有药效。
又名长命菜。
味道酸，气寒，性质更加寒滑。主治散血消肿，利肠解毒，治疗破伤风，多年的恶疮，各种方法都无法治愈的。或者疼痛……取马齿苋……热淋……烧存性……风地丁……
〔论〕马齿苋本含金中含水（叶中含有水分，且难得干燥）。却有酸味，这是金受木的影响。进入血脏而散血。
For medicinal use, yellow eggplants (Solanum melongena L. var. esculentum) are mostly used. The rest can only be eaten as vegetables. (Su Song)
Eggplant
Flavor: Sweet; Nature: Cold. Indications: Disperses blood, relieves pain, reduces swelling, and relaxes the intestines. (Li Shizhen) Eggplant belongs to Earth, therefore its flavor is sweet and its nature tends to descend. Those with loose bowels should avoid it. (Zhu Zhenheng) Old yellow eggplants treat cracked nipples; decoction of eggplant roots soaks frostbite; ash from burnt pedicels treats oral ulcers, all yielding miraculous effects. This utilizes its sweet nature to moderate and its cold nature to cool. For tendon spasms, burn the pedicel to ash and incorporate into pills.
[Note: "Jar" in original text likely refers to a specific part or is a textual error, translated literally as context implies local application]. Burn the pedicel to ash to treat oral and dental sores. Take two qian of the ash mixed with rice water to treat persistent bleeding from intestinal wind (hematochezia due to wind-heat) and bloody hemorrhoids. Rub fresh sliced eggplant on vitiligo patches to treat white spots. Use pedicels of white eggplants for white vitiligo, and pedicels of purple eggplants for purple vitiligo. Dip them in a mixture of sulfur and Aconitum carmichaelii powder to sprinkle on the affected area, utilizing its blood-dispersing property. (Li Shizhen) Fresh pedicels combined with equal parts of fresh Polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu), along with their roots and withered stems/leaves, treat various syndromes of wind-stroke, cold-dampness, knee-joint deformity (crane-knee wind), and leprosy-like conditions, dispersing blood and reducing swelling. Treat hematuria, rectal bleeding, bloody dysentery, uterine prolapse, toothache, oral ulcers, and skin cracking; soaking in decoction is effective. For female genital prolapse, calcinate eggplant roots until carbonized, grind into fine powder, mix with oil, roll into paper tubes, and insert intravaginally once daily.
For fresh mushrooms, rinse mouth with vinegar, then apply ash of eggplant root tubers mixed equally with sublimated salt and diluted with rice vinegar, rubbing frequently. For painful hematuria, take two qian of eggplant leaves per dose, administered with warm wine or salted water; leaves from the previous year are particularly effective. For toothache, apply ash of aged eggplant tree wood; first gargle with decoction of Colletes sinensis (bee nest). Juice obtained by leaching ash of eggplant stalks, mixed with mulberry bark alkali and other herbs, is effective for treating various carbuncles, swellings, and furuncles. (Chen Shigong)
[Discussion] The flavor of eggplant is sweet and cold. Danxi stated it belongs to Earth, but since it ripens yellow in the ninth month, it has deeply absorbed Metal qi, hence its nature tends to descend.
[Processing] It is suitable to harvest when yellow and ripe in the ninth month. Wash clean and dry in the shade before use.
Leaves that are too large are unsuitable for medicinal use. Smaller ones contain mercury between the nodes and leaves [Note: Ancient texts often used 'mercury' metaphorically for cold/mineral properties or impurities; literal translation retained]. However, stems must be removed when using them, as stems indeed have no efficacy.
Also known as Changming Cai (Longevity Vegetable).
Flavor: Sour; Nature: Cold; Property: Even colder and slippery. Indications: Disperses blood, reduces swelling, benefits the intestines, detoxifies, treats tetanus, chronic malignant sores unhealed by various methods. Or pain... Take Portulaca oleracea... Hot strangury... Calcined to carbon... Wind-Di Ding...
[Discussion] Portulaca oleracea inherently contains Water within Metal (leaves contain moisture and are hard to dry completely). Its sour flavor indicates Metal interacting with Wood. Entering the Blood viscera to disperse blood.
