味甘微温。主女崩中漏下，赤白沃，补脾疏肝。补虚温中，止血。滋养血脉。头∶
主杀鬼，鸡得清肃之气而头为之会，故能除鬼邪。东门上者尤良。东门上者，东门上所磔鸡
头，取阳方之生气也。 裹黄皮∶微寒，主泄利。鸡食沙石亦能消化，故治食积不化之泄
利。屎白∶主消渴，鸡善食而不善饮，其肠胃不能容水，故主消渴。伤寒寒热。治伤寒有食
邪之寒热。
凡血肉之物，鲜属金者，惟鸡于十二支属酉，而身轻能飞，其声嘹亮，于五音属商，乃
得金气之清虚者也。五脏之气，木能疏土，金能疏木，鸡属金，故能疏达肝气。本血肉之物，
故又能不克伐而调养肝血也。
石蜜，野蜂于崖间石隙中采花所作也，疑古时未有养蜂之法，则以崖蜜为上，而土木
中之蜜不用。今人养蜂收蜜其法最良，功同石蜜也。味甘平。主心腹邪气，养胃和中。诸惊
痫，定心平肝。安五脏诸不足，益气补中，百花之精，脏腑经络皆受益也。止痛，甘能缓
痛。解毒，香能辟秽恶之毒。除众病，诸花之性俱全。和百药。诸花之性俱全。久服，强志
轻身，不饥，不老。精神充足故也。
蜜者，采百花之精华而成者也。天地春和之气，皆发于草木，草木之和气，皆发于花。
花之
精英，酿而为蜜，和合众性则不偏，要去糟粕则不滞。甘以养中，香以理气，真养生之上品
也。但其性极和平，于治疾则无速效耳。凡天地之生气，皆正气也。天地之死气，皆邪气也
。正则和平，邪则有毒。毒者，败正伤生之谓。蜜本百花之蕊，乃生气之所聚，生气旺，则
死气不能犯，此解毒之义也。
味甘，性微温。主治妇女崩漏、赤白带下，能补脾疏肝。具有补虚损、温中焦、止血及滋养血脉的功效。
鸡头：主治驱除鬼邪。鸡摄取了清肃之气，头部是这些气的汇聚之处，所以能够祛除鬼邪。来自东门上方的鸡头效果更佳。“东门上者”，指的是在东门上方宰杀的鸡的头，取其阳气生发之生气。
裹黄皮（鸡内金）：性微寒，主治泄泻痢疾。鸡食用沙石也能消化，因此能治疗因食积不化引起的泄泻。
鸡屎白：主治消渴病。鸡善于进食却不善于饮水，其肠胃不能容纳大量水分，因此可用于治疗消渴。此外还能治疗伤寒引起的寒热往来。这是针对伤寒伴有食滞邪气所致的寒热症状的治疗。
凡是血肉生成的动物中，属性偏金的，只有鸡在十二地支中属酉，且身体轻盈能飞，叫声嘹亮，在五音中属商，是获得了金气清虚特性的生物。五脏之气中，木能疏通土，金能疏通木，鸡属金，所以能够疏达肝气。因为它是血肉之物，所以又能在不克伐的前提下调养肝血。
石蜜，是野蜂在崖壁石缝间采集花朵酿造而成的，推测古时候还没有养蜂的方法，所以认为崖蜜最好，而树木或泥土中的蜜则不被采用。现在人们养蜂取蜜的方法最好，功效与石蜜相同。味甘，性平。主治心腹部的邪气，能养胃和中。治疗各种惊痫，能定心平肝。安定五脏的各种不足，益气补中。它是百花精华的凝聚，脏腑经络都能受益。止痛，甘味能缓解疼痛。解毒，香气能辟除秽恶之毒。消除多种疾病，因为它具备所有花的药性。调和各种药物。因为它具备所有花的药性。长期服用，能增强意志、使身体轻便、不感饥饿、延缓衰老。这是因为精神充足的原因。
蜜，是采集百花精华而形成的。天地春季和顺之气，都发散于草木；草木的和顺之气，都发散于花。花的精英，酝酿成为蜜，调和了各种性质所以不偏颇，去除了糟粕所以不滞涩。甘味以滋养中焦，香气以调理气机，确实是养生的上品。只是它的性质极其平和，在治疗疾病方面没有迅速见效的效果罢了。凡是天地的生气，都是正气。天地的死气，都是邪气。正就是平和，邪就有毒。毒，是指败坏正气、伤害生命的含义。蜜本是百花的蕊，是生气的聚集处，生气旺盛，那么死气就不能侵犯，这就是解毒的意义所在。

When Vital Qi is prosperous, Dead Qi cannot invade. This is the meaning behind its detoxification property.
