(1) Treatment for ulcer caused by earwig urine: Take three sheng of salt and one dou of water, boil until six sheng remain. Soak cotton cloth in the decoction and apply it to cover the ulcer. [Zheng]
(2) Additionally, for treating various Qi stagnation and Hong Kong foot (a condition characterized by swelling, pain, and numbness in the feet): Take three sheng of salt, steam it until hot, wrap it in layers while warm, place it near a wall, and step on it with your feet to generate heat in the soles. [Zheng]
(3) Additionally, steaming salt together with the inner bark of the pagoda tree (Huai Bai Pi) also treats Hong Kong foot. Using it nightly yields good results. [Zheng]
(4) Additionally, take two sticks of soap pod (Zao Jia) and half liang of salt, burn them together until red-hot, then grind into fine powder. Use this powder to brush teeth every night. After one month, loose teeth and bleeding gums will heal, and teeth will become firm. [Zheng]
(1) Stone swallows (Shi Yan) found in caves at Ru Xue are edible when harvested in winter. Those harvested in other months can only be used for treating diseases and are not suitable for consumption. Consume them as per usual dietary methods. [Jia · Zheng]
(2) Additionally, treatment method: Take twenty pieces of Stone swallow (Shi Yan), stir-fry them with Five-flavor berry (Wu Wei Zi) until cooked, soak them in one dou of wine for three days. Drink one or two cups before going to bed each night, adjusting the amount according to tolerance. This greatly tonifies the body, enhances appetite, and increases physical strength. [Jia · Zheng]
(1) Ingesting Polygonatum (Huang Jing) slows aging and prevents hunger. The preparation method: Take an urn with the bottom removed, place it securely over a cauldron, fill it with Huang Jing. Seal tightly and steam. Once the steam circulates thoroughly, remove and dry in the sun. Repeat the steaming process nine times and drying nine times. One shi of fresh material yields three to four dou after processing. If under-steamed, its pungency will irritate the throat. It must be dried sufficiently, otherwise it will rot. [Zheng]
(2) For fresh Huang Jing, initial dosage should be no more than one cun and half, gradually increasing. If taken continuously without other food for ten days, long-term use may reach up to three chi five cun. After 300 days of ingestion, one may see spirits and gods. Consuming it leads to ascension to heaven. [Zheng]
(3) The root, leaves, flowers, and fruits of Huang Jing are all edible. However, only those with corresponding morphology are true Huang Jing; those that do not match are called Pian Jing. [Zheng]
The leaves of Huang Jing are harvested in the first lunar month and can be made into soup; the stems are harvested on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month; the flowers are harvested on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. All parts treat head wind (Tou Feng), vertigo, tearing, eliminate烦热 (restless heat), and benefit the Zang organs. Wild bitter chrysanthemum is unsuitable for use. [Zheng]
