[Original Text Processing]
Primarily treats excessive heat, resolves alcohol toxicity, stops thirst, and removes redness of the eyes. However, it may trigger or aggravate cold and hot pathogenic factors. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(Che'ao) [Carinaria chinensis] and Youmou [Swimming crab] should not be consumed in large quantities. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(1) Primarily treats cold qi in the heart and abdomen, and cold wind pathogens in the waist and spine. It benefits the five zang organs, strengthens the stomach, and promotes appetite. After each meal, it should be followed by rice to suppress its effects. Otherwise, it will cause dryness of the mouth. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(2) It is also said that it warms the middle jiao, aids digestion, and stimulates yang function. Its flavor is most heavy/rich. It is found in the sea, with shells resembling tiled roofs. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(3) It is also said that Han [Clams/Arcaea]: Primarily treats cold wind pathogens in the heart, abdomen, waist, and kidneys. They can be warmed over fire until boiling, eaten on an empty stomach (ten to twenty pieces), and suppressed with water. This is highly effective. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(4) It is also said that it is non-toxic. It benefits blood color. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(5) Shell: Calcined, quenched three times with rice vinegar, then buried in soil until decayed. Made into vinegar paste pills, it treats all blood and qi disorders, cold qi disorders, and Zheng Pi [abdominal masses]. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(1) Taste is sweet, nature is warm, non-toxic. It tonifies deficiency and primarily treats cold diarrhea. Boiled for consumption, it primarily treats postpartum deficiency in women. It grows in the mud at the bottom of the sea, two to three cun long, as thick as a finger, open at both ends. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(2) It primarily treats evil heat in the chest, restlessness, and stagnant qi. It is suitable for those taking Dan Shi [mineral drugs/cinnabar]. It must not be eaten after recovery from Tianxing Bing [epidemic diseases]; this is strictly contraindicated. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(3) It is also said that Cheng [Razor clam]: Nature is cold, primarily treats vexation and evil qi in the chest, stops thirst. It is best eaten after meals. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(1) Tonifies the five zang organs, regulates Yao Bu Xianggang Jiao [lumbar and foot swelling/numbness], and benefits yang function. It aids digestion, removes cold qi from the abdomen, and dissipates Qi Ji [accumulated pathogenic factors]. It can also be calcined so that the juice boils out, then eaten. Excessive consumption causes dizziness and blurred vision; stop when slight laxation occurs. People in the North mostly do not recognize it; although its appearance is unrefined, it is very beneficial to humans. [Chen Cangqi Supplement]
(2) It is also said that nature is warm, non-toxic. It tonifies deficiency and exhaustion, treats postpartum blood stasis and cold pain in the abdomen. It treats Zheng Jia [abdominal masses], back pain, moistens hair, and treats Beng Lou Dai Xia [metrorrhagia and leukorrhea]. Eating a full portion of calcined meat is highly effective. Also known as Ke Cai [Shellfish/Mussel]. If frequently eaten calcined, it becomes bitter and is unsuitable for people. First boil thoroughly with a small amount of rice, remove the sides and hairs from the meat, then add radish, or Perilla, or winter melon peel for cooking together, which is even better.
