列当：味甘，性温，无毒。主治男子五劳七伤，补益腰肾，使人能够生育，祛除风邪与瘀血。可煮食或浸泡酒后服用。生长于山南岩石之上，形状像藕根。初生时挖掘取出，阴干保存。又名栗当。又称草苁蓉。（今附）
《食医心镜》记载其能兴阳事。取栗当二斤（即列当），捣碎筛成细末，用酒一斗浸泡过夜，随即饮服以助性欲。
马勃：味辛，性平，无毒。主治恶疮、马疥。又名马庀。生长在园中久腐之处。陶隐居说：俗人称之为马勃。颜色紫红，质地虚软，形状像狗肺，弹击时有粉末飞出。敷贴各种疮疡，使用它效果很好。臣禹锡等谨按《蜀本图经》记载：这是马庀菌。虚软如紫色棉絮，弹击时紫色灰尘飞出。生长在湿地及腐木上，夏秋季节采集。
《衍义》说：马勃，就是唐代韩愈所说的“牛溲、马勃”，都是收而并蓄的药物。大的有斗那么大，小的也有升勺那么大。
现在参考其他版本的注释说：屐（jī），江南地区有这种植物，北方人不认识，用桐木制作屐和（zhǐ，鞋后跟）。用蒲草制作（zhǐ），用麻线穿过其鼻部。长期穿在脚上的（指鞋底磨损部分）可以入药。（唐本先附）臣禹锡等谨按《蜀本图经》记载：取放置久远、快要腐烂断裂的，用水送服。
柽乳：味甘、温，无毒。主治金疮伤折，瘀血内损，补益筋肉，消除恶血，下气行血，女人产后各种血证，结腹痛，内冷不下食。都用酒化开服之。也可外敷患处。出产于西蕃，形状像凝固的血，番人煎煮甘草、松泪、柽乳。
陈藏器说：番人试用此药，取婴儿断去一只脚，将药纳入口中，用脚踩踏药物，当时就能行走的，是最好的。
主治蛇毒，捣碎外敷。绞汁内服，可止蛇毒入内心闷。水煮浸泡后洗脚，可消气肿。
《唐本草》注说：叶子像蓼，茎红色，味辛，生长在潮湿水边。现在参考其他版本注释说：生长在浅水泽中，所以名叫水蓼。
水蓼：味辛，性冷，无毒。《集验方》治疗脚痛。先用水蓼煮汤，令温热适宜，频频淋洗，疮口干燥自然安定。
《衍义》说：水荭子，不论多少，微炒一半，另一半生用，同为细末，用好酒调服二钱，每日三次，饭后、夜卧各服一次。治疗瘰疬，破溃的也能治。水蓼，大体与水红相似，只是枝条较低而已。现在酿酒，取水蓼浸出汁液。和面作曲，借取其辛味。
**Orobanche (Lie Dang):** Sweet in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic. It primarily treats the five labors and seven injuries in men, tonifies the waist and kidneys, enables procreation, and dispels wind and blood stasis. It can be boiled for consumption or soaked in wine before drinking. It grows on rocky cliffs in southern mountains, resembling lotus root rhizomes. When first sprouting, it is dug up and dried in the shade. Also known as Lidang. Another name is Cao Congrong. (Added currently)
*Shi Yi Xin Jing* records that it promotes sexual function. Take two jin of Lidang (also known as Lie Dang), grind and sieve into fine powder, soak in one dou of wine overnight, then drink to enhance libido.
**Scleroderma (Ma Bo):** Pungent in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It treats malignant sores and equine scabies. Also known as Ma Pi. It grows in long-decayed places within gardens. Tao Hongjing states: Common people call it Ma Bo. It is purple, hollow and soft, resembling a dog's lung; when flicked, powder emerges. Applying it to various sores yields excellent results. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, record: This is the Ma Pi fungus. It is soft like purple cotton wadding; when flicked, purple dust emerges. It grows in wetlands and on rotting wood, harvested in summer and autumn.
*Yan Yi* states: Ma Bo is what Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty referred to as "Niu Sou" and "Ma Bo," both of which are collected and used together. Some are as large as a dou, while others are as small as a sheng ladle.
Taking it with water treats dysphagia, heart pain, and chest fullness.
Current notes from other editions state: Ji (footwear), found in Jiangnan, unknown in the north; made from paulownia wood for the sole and heel. Using cattail for the heel, threaded with hemp through its nose. The part worn long on the feet can be used medicinally. (First added in *Tang Ben*) Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, record: Take those placed for a long time, nearly rotted and broken, and take with water.
**Cheng Ru:** Sweet and warm in taste, non-toxic. It treats traumatic injuries from metal weapons and fractures, internal damage from blood stasis, tonifies muscles and tendons, eliminates malignant blood, moves qi and blood, treats various postpartum blood disorders in women, abdominal pain due to stagnation, internal cold with loss of appetite. All should be dissolved in wine and taken. It can also be applied externally to the affected area. It originates from Western Tibet, resembling coagulated blood. Tibetan people decoct Licorice Root (*Gancao*), Pine Resin (*Song Lei*), and Cheng Ru.
Chen Cangqi states: When Tibetans test this medicine, they sever an infant's foot, place the medicine in the mouth, and step on it with the foot; if the infant can walk immediately, it is considered superior.
It treats snake venom by grinding and applying externally. Juiced and taken internally, it stops snake venom from entering the heart causing stifling sensation. Decocted and used to wash the feet, it reduces qi edema.
*Tang Ben* notes: Leaves resemble Polygonum, stems are red, pungent in taste, growing in damp watersides. Current notes from other editions state: Grows in shallow marshes, hence named Shuiliao.
**Shuiliao (Water Smartweed):** Pungent in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. *Ji Yan Fang* treats foot pain. First decoct Shuiliao in water, keep it at a suitable warm temperature, and frequently pour/wash over the area; the sore will dry and heal naturally.
*Yan Yi* states: Shui Hong Zi, regardless of quantity, lightly stir-fry half, leave half raw, grind together into powder, mix with good wine to take 2 qian, three times daily, once after meals and once before bed. Treats scrofula, even ulcerated cases. Shuiliao is generally similar to Shuihong, but with lower branches. Currently, in brewing, Shuiliao is soaked in water to extract juice. Mixed with flour to make yeast, borrowing its pungent flavor.
