味辛，性温，无毒。主治鬼气（指由邪祟引起的精神异常或突发疾病），温中散寒以治疗积冷，缓解心腹胀痛，治疗霍乱和中恶（突发的严重不适或中毒症状），冷疰（一种慢性消耗性疾病），呕吐泡沫状冷气，消食止泻，治疗小儿乳霍（婴儿因受惊或饮食不当引起的吐泻）。其形状圆小，外皮紫红且紧薄，内部肉质辛辣。产于胡国，胡人称之为迦拘勒。（今附）
臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》记载：肉豆蔻为君药，味苦、辛，能主治小儿呕吐逆气、不能吸吮乳汁、腹痛；具有下气作用，止泻痢，开胃消食；其皮及外络能下气，解酒毒，治疗霍乱；味道珍贵，药效更为显著。
《图经本草》记载：肉豆蔻产于胡国，如今只有岭南地区的人家种植它。春天生苗，花和果实像豆蔻一样圆小，外皮紫红紧薄，内部肉质辛辣，六月、七月采收。
《续传信方》记载：治疗脾泄、气痢等症，取两颗肉豆蔻，用米醋调和面粉包裹，放在灰火中煨炒至熟，研成细末一两，混合均匀。再用焦炒的陈年廪米研成粉末，每次取两钱匕煎煮成饮，调入前述两种药物各三钱匕，早晚各服一次，病即可痊愈。
陈藏器说：大船运来才有，中国本土没有。《海药本草》记载：谨按《广志》所说：产于秦国及昆仑地区，味辛，性温，无毒。用生姜汤送服效果良好。雷公说：凡使用肉豆蔻，必须用糯米制成粉，用热汤揉搓包裹肉豆蔻，在灰火中炮制，待米团子焦黄熟透后，再取出使用。不要让它接触铜器。《圣惠方》记载：治疗冷痢，腹痛不能进食。取肉豆蔻一两，去皮，用……（原文此处似有缺漏，结合上下文推测为处理步骤，但依规则不增添内容，故略过缺失部分或视为原文断句问题，此处仅翻译可见部分）……
《衍义》说：肉豆蔻是相对于草豆蔻而言的。去掉外壳，只用内部肉质，含油量多、色泽好的为佳。干枯白色、味道淡薄、干瘪瘦小的属于下等品。肉豆蔻也善于下气，但多服则会耗气，适量服用则能使气机平和。
Cardamomum (Nutmeg)
Pungent, warm, non-toxic. It primarily treats "Gui Qi" (ghost qi, referring to mental abnormalities or sudden illnesses caused by evil influences), warms the middle jiao to treat accumulated cold, alleviates abdominal distension and pain, treats cholera and "Zhong E" (sudden severe discomfort or poisoning), cold "Zhu" (a type of chronic consumptive disease), vomiting of frothy cold qi, promotes digestion, stops diarrhea, and treats infantile "Ru Huo" (infantile vomiting and diarrhea due to fright or improper diet). Its shape is round and small, with a purple, tight, and thin skin, and pungent internal flesh. It originates from Hu countries, where it is called "Jia Ju Le" by the locals. (Currently appended)
Minister Yuxi et al., according to *Xing Ming Lun* (Treatise on the Properties of Medicinals), state: Cardamomum is a sovereign herb, bitter and pungent in taste. It can primarily treat infantile regurgitation and vomiting, inability to suckle milk, and abdominal pain; it directs qi downward, stops dysentery and diarrhea, opens the stomach, and promotes digestion. Its peel and external network direct qi downward, resolve alcohol toxicity, and treat cholera. It is precious in flavor, and its efficacy is even more remarkable.
*Tujing* states: Cardamomum originates from Hu countries. Currently, only people in the Lingnan region cultivate it. Sprouts emerge in spring. The flowers and fruits resemble cardamom but are rounder and smaller, with purple, tight, and thin skin, and pungent internal flesh. They are harvested in June and July.
*Xu Chuanxin Fang* states: To treat spleen diarrhea and qi-type dysentery, take two nutmegs, wrap them in flour mixed with rice vinegar, place them in ash fire, roast until cooked, grind into a fine powder (one tael), and mix well. Also, grind roasted aged millet into powder. Each time, use two qian bi (measurements) of millet powder, decoct into a drink, and mix with three qian bi of the aforementioned two substances. Take once in the morning and once in the evening, and the illness will recover.
Chen Cangqi says: It arrives via large ships; there is none in China proper. *Haiyao Bencao* states: According to *Guang Zhi*, it grows in Qin country and Kunlun. Pungent, warm, non-toxic. Taking it with ginger soup is beneficial. Lei Gong says: When using it, one must make glutinous rice into powder, knead and wrap the nutmeg with hot water, roast it in ash fire until the rice ball is scorched yellow and cooked, then take it for use. Do not let it touch copper. *Shenghui Fang* states: To treat cold dysentery and abdominal pain preventing eating. Take one tael of Cardamomum, remove the skin... [Text fragment missing in original].
*Yanyi* states: Cardamomum is distinguished from Caodoukou (Grains of Paradise). Remove the shell and use only the flesh. Flesh with high oil content and good color is superior. Dry, white flesh with weak flavor and shriveled appearance is of inferior grade. It also effectively directs qi downward, but excessive consumption depletes qi. Moderate consumption harmonizes the qi.
