【辛夷】
味道辛、温。主治五脏疾病，以及身体寒热失调、清气下陷的病症。能治疗头风脑痛，具有升发疏散风邪的作用。能去除面部皮毛间的风邪阻滞。长期服用，能使气机下行，身体轻盈，视力明亮，增加寿命，延缓衰老。清气上升则浊气下降，全身脏腑经络清静安宁，可以长寿。
辛夷与众树共同种植，必定要长高过众树才停止，它的药性专于向上，所以能够升达清气。又因为它最先得到春天的气息，所以能够疏达肝气。它气味芳香清烈，能够驱逐导致头目疾病的邪风。药物本身不能直达病所，辛夷起到了引经报使的作用。
【桑上寄生】
味道苦、平。主治腰痛，因为得到了桑树的精气，也能辅助筋骨。治疗小儿背部僵硬，驱除脊柱间的邪风。治疗痈肿，调和血脉。安胎，因为胎儿也是寄居在母腹中的。充盈肌肤，坚固头发牙齿，促进胡须眉毛生长。滋养皮毛的血脉。其果实主要作用是明目，桑树的特性是驱风，肝是主风的脏器，且开窍于目，风邪去除则眼睛明亮。使人身体轻盈，精神通达。桑上寄生是感受风露之气而生成的，所以服用它也有清虚微妙的疗效。
桑上寄生是桑树精气凝结而成，又在树枝间生出小树，有孕育子代的象征，所以能安胎。它的药性与桑树相近，所以也能驱风养血。它生长不附着于土壤，依赖天气而不依赖地气，所以能在空虚之处滋养血脉，取效更加神奇。

[ Xin Yi (Magnolia Flower) ]
Taste: Acrid, Warm.
Indications: Primarily treats diseases of the five Zang organs, as well as conditions involving cold and heat in the body, and disorders of sinking of Clear Qi (Qing Qi). It treats head wind and brain pain, possessing the function of ascending and dispersing Wind pathogenic factors. It removes Wind stagnation from the face and skin/hair. Long-term consumption causes Qi to descend, lightens the body, brightens the eyes, increases lifespan, and delays aging. When Clear Qi ascends, Turbid Qi descends, resulting in clarity and tranquility throughout the body, allowing for longevity.
Xin Yi is planted among other trees but grows taller than them before stopping; its nature is specifically directed upward, thus it can ascend and reach Clear Qi. Furthermore, it receives the Qi of Spring earliest, so it can soothe and unblock Liver Qi. Its aroma is fresh and pungent, capable of expelling pathogenic Wind causing head and eye diseases. Medicinals cannot always reach the disease site directly; Xin Yi serves as a guiding herb (Yin Jing Yao).
[ Sang Shang Ji Sheng (Mistletoe on Mulberry) ]
Taste: Bitter, Neutral.
Indications: Primarily treats lower back pain. Having received the essence of the Mulberry tree, it also assists the sinews and bones. It treats rigidity of the back in children and drives out Wind from the spine. It treats carbuncles and swellings by harmonizing blood vessels. It calms the fetus, as the fetus resides parasitically within the mother's abdomen. It fills the flesh and skin, strengthens hair and teeth, and promotes the growth of beard and eyebrows. It nourishes the blood vessels of the skin and hair. Its fruit primarily brightens the eyes. The nature of Mulberry expels Wind; the Liver is the organ associated with Wind and opens into the eyes; when Wind is removed, vision becomes clear. It lightens the body and enhances spiritual clarity. Sang Shang Ji Sheng is generated by absorbing the Qi of Wind and Dew, so consuming it yields subtle effects of clearing and emptiness.
Sang Shang Ji Sheng is the凝结 (condensation) of the Mulberry tree's essence, growing small trees among the branches, resembling the image of bearing offspring, thus it can calm the fetus. Its nature is close to that of Mulberry, so it can also expel Wind and nourish Blood. It grows without attaching to the soil, relying on Heaven's Qi rather than Earth's Qi, thus it can nourish blood vessels in empty/depleted areas, achieving even more miraculous effects.
[ Du Zhong (Eucommia Bark) ]
Taste: Acrid, Neutral.
Indications: Primarily treats pain in the waist and spine. It tonifies the Middle Jiao, benefits Essence and Qi, strengthens sinews and bones, and stabilizes the will. Its texture is tough and resilient, indicating its Essence and Qi must be abundant; therefore, it can also stabilize the sinews, bones, Qi, and Blood of the human body. It eliminates itching and dampness in the genital area, tonifies the skin, and promotes diuresis to resolve dampness. It treats dribbling urine after voiding. It strengthens the Qi of the urinary tract. Long-term consumption lightens the body and delays aging. It strengthens the limbs. Among the bark of the Eucommia tree, the part where the wood is tough and thick is the best, thus it can tonify human skin. Furthermore, it contains fibrous strands that are connected and unbroken, resembling sinews, thus it can reconnect sinews and bones. By seeking the principle through the form, its efficacy can be understood.
