（凡炼蜜只得十二两半是数若火少火过并用不得凡炼蜜每斤入水四两银石器内以桑柴火

（凡是炼制蜂蜜，只能得到十二两半的量。如果火太小或太大都不行。每次炼制一斤蜂蜜，加入四两水，放入银器或石器中，用桑木柴火慢慢熬炼，撇去浮沫，直到滴入水中能凝结成珠且不散开，这时就可以使用了，这叫做“水火炼法”。另一种方法是把容器放在重汤（双层锅）中煮一天，等到滴水不散时取出使用，这样更不伤火。）
（蜂蜡是蜂巢底部的物质。取得蜂蜜后，经过炼制过滤并倒入水中，待其凝固后取出。颜色黄的称为黄蜡；煎炼得极其洁净、颜色白的称为白蜡。有一种说法认为新制的蜂蜡是白色的，存放久了会变黄，这与现在市面上所用的虫造白蜡不同。蜂蜡畏芫花和齐蛤。）
（贝壳左侧面向左的质地优良。用东流水加一两盐，煮沸一个时辰（两小时），然后投入火中烧至通红，随后放入钵中研磨成粉末备用。另一种方法是用火醋淬炼七次，研磨至极细如飞面状。贝母为其使药。与甘草、牛膝、远志、蛇床子同用效果良好。畏麻黄、辛夷、吴茱萸，砂仁可伏制之。）
（在臼中捣碎使其变细，用绢筛层层筛选，然后再研磨两万下才可使用，如果不细会损伤脏腑。凡使用石决明，必须确保没有破损及钻透孔洞的才能使用。另一种方法是将其放入豆腐内蒸软，易于粉碎。若用于入目，则生用，不用蒸，依上述方法处理较为妥当。）
（入药时生用，因为其性味完整。一旦经过阳火煅烧，便不堪使用，这与生犀角和熟犀角的道理相同。）
（凡使用时，不要选用生长在杂树上的，不入药用。必须选用桑树旁枝条上的。采得后去掉核子，用沸浆水浸泡淘洗七遍，让水渗透沸腾，然后在瓷锅中熬干使用。不要胡乱进行其他炮制，否则无效。与龙骨同用可止精。畏旋覆花和戴椹。）
（这就是真珠母。有七到九个孔的质地优良。先去除上层的粗皮，用盐和东流水在大瓷器中煮一个时辰，捞出擦干，捣成末，研磨成粉。再用东流水在瓷器中如此淘洗三次，待干后再研磨一万匝，方可入药使用。凡是炮制五两石决明，需用半分盐，服用后可取效。十两石决明永不可食用山桃，否则令人失明。）
(When refining honey, only twelve and a half taels can be obtained. If the fire is too weak or too strong, it is unsuitable. For every jin of honey refined, add four liang of water, place it in a silver or stoneware vessel, and slowly refine over mulberry wood fire. Skim off the floating foam until a drop forms a bead that does not disperse when dropped into water; this is then ready for use, known as the "Water-Fire Refining Method." Another method involves placing the vessel in a double boiler (Chong Tang) to boil for one day. When a drop no longer disperses in water, remove and use. This method is less damaging to the fire.)
(Wax is the bottom of the honeycomb. After obtaining honey, refine and filter it, pouring it into water. Wait for it to solidify, then retrieve it. Those with a yellow color are called Huang La (Yellow Wax); those refined extremely cleanly and appearing white are called Bai La (White Wax). One theory states that newly made wax is white and turns yellow over time, which differs from the insect-made white wax used today. Wax fears Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos) and Qi Ge.)
(Those facing left on the left side are of good quality. Use flowing water from the east, add one liang of salt, boil for one fu shi (approx. two hours), then throw into fire to burn until thoroughly red. Then, place in a mortar and grind into powder for use. Another method involves quenching in vinegar over fire seven times, grinding extremely fine like flying flour. Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus) acts as its assistant herb. It works well with Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix), and She Chuang Zi (Cnidii Fructus). It fears Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba), Xin Yi (Magnoliae Flos), and Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus); Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus) can subdue it.)
(Ground in a mortar until fine, sift repeatedly through silk gauze, then grind twenty thousand times before use. If not fine enough, it will damage the zang-fu organs. When using Shi Jue Ming (Haliotidis Concha), ensure there are no cracks or perforations. Another method is to steam it in tofu to make it easier to crush. For use in treating eyes, use raw without steaming; following the above method is preferable.)
(Use raw for medicinal purposes because its nature and flavor remain complete. Once calcined by fire, it is unsuitable for use, similar to the distinction between Sheng Xi Jiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu) and Shu Xi Jiao.)
(When using, do not select those growing on miscellaneous trees; they are not for medicinal use. Must select branches from beside mulberry trees. After harvesting, remove the pits. Soak and wash seven times with boiling浆 water (fermented liquid/water), ensuring the water penetrates and boils, then dry in a porcelain pot. Do not perform other arbitrary processing methods, as they will be ineffective. Combined with Long Gu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi), it can stop essence loss. It fears Xuan Fu Hua (Inulae Flos) and Dai Shen.)
(This is Zhen Zhu Mu (Pteri Concha). Those with seven to nine holes are of good quality. First, remove the rough outer skin. Boil with salt and eastern flowing water in a large porcelain vessel for one fu shi. Remove, wipe dry, crush into powder, and grind finely. Wash three times again with eastern flowing water in a porcelain vessel. After drying, grind ten thousand times before adding to medicine. For every five liang processed, use half a fen of salt; taking it yields results. Ten liang of Shi Jue Ming should never be consumed with Shan Tao (Prunus Persica Seed), as it causes blindness.)
