衍义曰∶麦门冬，根上子也。治心肺虚热，并虚劳客热，亦可取苗作熟水饮。
味甘，性平、微寒，无毒。主治心腹结聚之气，内伤中气或饱食过度，胃络脉断绝导致的羸瘦短气，身体沉重、目黄，心下痞满支撑感，虚劳产生的客热，口干燥渴。能止呕吐，治愈痿蹶（肢体萎软无力），强健阴精，促进消化、调和脾胃，安神定志，安定肺气，安养五脏，使人肥壮健壮，面色红润，有助于生育。长期服用可令身体轻健，不老不饥。在秦地称为羊韭，齐地称为爱韭，楚地称为马韭，越地称为羊蓍，又名禹葭，又名禹余粮。叶片像韭菜，冬夏常青。生长在函谷川谷及堤坝肥沃的土石间久废之处。二月、三月、八月、十月采收，阴干。（地黄、车前子为其使药，忌与款冬、苦瓠同用，畏苦参、青葙。）
陶隐居说：函谷即秦关。但麦门冬不同于羊韭的名字。到处都有生长，四月采收，冬季结籽如青珠，根似大麦粒，所以叫麦门冬，以肥大者为好。使用时需煮后抽去心，否则令人烦躁，是断谷养生家的要药。二门冬（天门冬、麦门冬）润时价值并重，一旦干燥就变轻，一斤仅减四、五两罢了。现在考察陈藏器《本草》说：《本经》未提及生麦门冬。按生者除原有功效外，去心煮饮，可止烦热消渴，身体沉重、目黄，寒热体劳，止呕开胃，下痰饮。干者入丸散及汤剂使用，功效如《本经》所述，方家自有分别。产自江宁的小润，新安的大白，大的苗像鹿葱，小的像韭菜叶。大小有三、四种，功用相似，其子圆碧。长期服用轻身明目。和车前子、干地黄制成丸药，饭后服用，可去温瘴，亦能明目，夜间见光。臣禹锡等谨按吴氏说：又名马韭，一名（音门）火冬，一名忍冬，一名忍陵，一名不死药，一名仆垒，一名随脂。神农、岐伯认为：甘，平。黄帝、桐君、雷公认为：甘，无毒。季氏认为：甘，小温。扁鹊认为：无毒。生于山谷肥地，叶像韭菜，肥泽，丛生，采收无固定时间，果实青黄。《药性论》说：麦门冬，使药，恶苦参，畏木耳。治结气，身黑目黄，心下苦于痞满支撑感，虚劳客热。日华子说：治五劳七伤，安魂定魄，止渴，使人肥壮，治疗时疾热狂，头痛，止咳。
《图经》说：麦门冬，生在函谷川谷及堤坝肥沃土石间久废之处，现在各地都有。叶青似莎草，长及尺多，四季不凋。根黄白色，有须根连成串珠状，形似大麦粒，故名麦门冬。四月开淡红花，像红蓼花。果实碧绿而圆如珠。江南出产的，叶大者苗像鹿葱，小者像韭菜，大小有三、四种，功用相似，有人说吴地产的尤其好。二月、三月、八月、十月采收，阴干。也可单独煎服。取新根去心，捣熟绞取汁，和白蜜，在银器中隔水重煮，不停手搅拌，候如饴糖状乃成。酒化温服，治中益心，悦颜色，安神，益气，使人肥壮健壮，其力甚快。又主治金石药发毒。麦门冬去心六两，人参四两，甘草二两（炙），三物研筛，蜜丸如梧子大，每日两次送服。又有崔元亮《海上方》治消渴丸云：偶然从野人处得到，神验不可言说，用上元板荞麦门冬鲜肥者两大两，宣州黄连九节者两大两，去掉两头尖三、五节。用小刀条理去皮毛洗净，吹去灰尘，再用生布摩擦拭净，称量，捣末，用肥大苦瓠汁浸泡麦门冬过夜，然后去心，即在臼中捣烂，随即纳入黄连末在臼中和捣，候丸得法，即用手丸大如梧子，饭后饮水送下五十丸，每日两次，只要服用两天，口渴必定痊愈。病重者，初服药每服一百五十丸，第二日服一百二十九丸，第三日一百丸，第四日八十丸，第五日根据原本剂量服药。若想合药，先看天气晴明，那夜才浸药。切须干净处，禁止妇人、鸡、犬看见知晓。如果感觉可以，每日只服二十五丸，服完觉得虚，即取白羊头一枚，净去毛洗了，用水三大斗，煮令烂，去头，取汁约一斗来，细细服之，也不着盐，不过三剂平复。
Ophiopogon (as the Sovereign herb)
Taste is sweet, nature is neutral, slightly cold, non-toxic. It primarily treats qi stagnation in the heart and abdomen, internal injury to the middle jiao or overeating, emaciation and shortness of breath caused by the severance of stomach collaterals, heaviness of the body, yellow eyes, fullness and distension below the heart, exogenous heat from deficiency consumption, dry mouth and thirst. It stops vomiting, cures flaccidity syndromes (limb weakness), strengthens yin and benefits essence, promotes digestion and harmonizes the middle jiao, calms the spirit, stabilizes lung qi, soothes the five zang organs, makes one robust and healthy, improves complexion, and aids fertility. Long-term use lightens the body, prevents aging and hunger. In Qin it is called Yangjiu (Sheep Leek), in Qi Aijiou (Beloved Leek), in Chu Majiu (Horse Leek), in Yue Yangshu (Sheep Yushu), also known as Yuja, also known as Yuyuliang. Leaves resemble leeks, evergreen in winter and summer. Grows in the valleys of Hangu and on abandoned, fertile earth and stone banks along dikes. Harvested in February, March, August, and October, dried in the shade. (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata and Plantaginis Semen are its assistants; incompatible with Kuan Dong Hua and Ku Hu; opposed to Ku Shen and Qing Xiang.)
Tao Hongjing stated: Hangu refers to the Qin Pass. However, Maidong differs in name from Yangjiu. It grows everywhere, harvested in April; fruits appear like green pearls in winter, roots resemble wheat grains, hence the name Maidong. Those that are plump and large are preferred. When used, boil and remove the core, otherwise it causes irritability; it is essential for those practicing grain avoidance. Both Men Dong (Asparagus root) and Maidong are valued when moist, but become lighter when dry, losing only four or five liang per jin. Currently examining Chen Cangqi's Bencao: The Classic of Materia Medica does not mention raw Maidong. According to raw usage, besides original functions, removing the core and boiling for drinking stops irritability, heat, and thirst, body heaviness, yellow eyes, chills and fever, body fatigue, stops vomiting, opens appetite, and resolves phlegm-fluids. Dried Maidong is used in pills, powders, and decoctions, with efficacy as described in the Classic of Materia Medica; physicians have their own distinctions. Produced in Jiangning as Xiao Run, in Xin'an as Da Bai. Large ones have seedlings resembling Lulucong, small ones resemble leek leaves. There are three or four sizes, with similar functions; their seeds are round and dark green. Long-term use lightens the body and brightens eyes. Combined with Che Qian Zi and Sheng Di Huang into pills, taken after meals, it removes warm miasma, brightens eyes, and allows seeing light at night. Minister Yuxi et al. carefully noted Wu Shi said: Also named Majiu, also named (sound 'men') Huodong, also named Rendong, also named Renling, also named Busiyao, also named Pulei, also named Suizhi. Shennong and Qibo: Sweet, neutral. Huangdi, Tongjun, Leigong: Sweet, non-toxic. Ji Shi: Sweet, slightly warm. Bianque: Non-toxic. Grows in fertile places of mountains and valleys, leaves resemble leeks, plump and glossy, growing in clumps, harvest time unspecified, fruits greenish-yellow. Yao Xing Lun states: Maidong, assistant herb, opposes Ku Shen, fears Mu Er. Treats qi stagnation, blackened skin and yellow eyes, bitter fullness and distension below the heart, exogenous heat from deficiency consumption. Ri Hua Zi stated: Treats five labors and seven injuries, calms soul and魄, stops thirst, makes one fat, treats epidemic febrile diseases with mania, headache, stops coughing.
Tu Jing stated: Maidong grows in the valleys of Hangu and on abandoned, fertile earth and stone banks along dikes; now found everywhere. Leaves are green like Cyperus rotundus, over a chi long, never withering in seasons. Roots are yellow-white, with fibrous roots forming beads, resembling wheat grains, hence the name Maidong. Opens pale red flowers in April, like Polygonum orientale flowers. Fruits are dark green and round like pearls. Those from Jiangnan, large leaves have seedlings like Lulucong, small like leeks, three or four sizes, similar functions, some say those from Wu region are superior. Harvested in February, March, August, and October, dried in the shade. Can also be decocted alone. Take fresh roots, remove core, pound thoroughly, squeeze juice, mix with white honey, boil repeatedly in a silver vessel over water, stirring constantly until it resembles malt syrup. Dissolve in wine and take warm; treats middle jiao and benefits heart, beautifies complexion, calms spirit, tonifies qi, makes one robust, its power is very rapid. Also treats toxicity from mineral drugs. Maidong (core removed) 6 liang, Renshen 4 liang, Gancao 2 liang (roasted), sift the three substances, make honey pills like wu zi size, take twice daily with water. Cui Yuanliang's Haishang Fang for treating Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst) pills says: Accidentally obtained from a villager, miraculous effect unspeakable. Use two large liang of fresh, plump Maidong from Shangyuan Banqiao, two large liang of Jiujie Huanglian from Xuanzhou, remove three to five nodes from both ends. Clean with a small knife, remove peel and hairs, blow off dust, rub with raw cloth, weigh, pound into powder. Soak Maidong in juice of large Ku Hu overnight, then remove core, pound in mortar, add Huanglian powder, pound together, form pills like wu zi size, take fifty pills after meals with water, twice daily. Only two days of服用 will surely cure thirst. For severe cases, first dose 150 pills, second day 129 pills, third day 100 pills, fourth day 80 pills, fifth day return to original dosage. If preparing medicine, check for clear weather, soak medicine that night. Must be in a clean place, forbid women, chickens, and dogs from seeing or knowing. If feeling suitable, take only 25 pills daily. After finishing, if feeling deficient, take one sheep head, clean fur and wash, boil in three dou of water until soft, remove head, take about one dou of juice, drink slowly, no salt added, recover within three doses.
Yanyi stated: Maidong is the fruit on the root. Treats deficiency-heat of heart and lungs, and exogenous heat from deficiency consumption. One can also take the seedlings to make hot water for drinking.
