"Jing Yue Quan Shu": There are two kinds of this medicine, both of which are weak. The round and thin ones with solid flesh have a slightly sweet and light taste, and their strength is even weaker. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: The round and thin ones are the best. It is also said that it can replenish essence and strengthen yin, strengthen tendons and replenish deficiency, strengthen feet and knees, drive away cold and numbness, relieve palpitations, and calm the mind. But this thing has the lightest taste, how can it be so nourishing? However, those that are flat, loose, and shaped like a hairpin have a bitter taste. They are used to remove the fire from the spleen and stomach, eliminate noisy and hungry feelings, and relieve the heat in the camp. It is light, clear and mild in nature, and has the ability to decompose calmly, so it can reduce internal heat, nourish yin, relieve restlessness, clear the lungs and lower the qi, and also stop thirst and hot sweats. However, many scholars say that it can thicken the intestines and stomach, strengthen the yang channels, and warm the water organs. How can this be achieved with its bitter and cool nature and flavor? It is important to distinguish.

The ones that grow on rocks are the best and are called golden hairpin dendrobium. The long and hollow ones are called water hu, which are unusable. Dislike croton. Afraid of silkworm. Finely grind it and soak it in water, then it will become a better paste.

"Bencao Chongyuan" says: Dendrobium grows on stones and can live forever with the help of water. It is the kidney-tonifying drug that has the essence of water and stone. It tastes sweet and is yellow in color. It does not rely on the power of earth. It is the Qi of the Central Earth that nourishes the spleen. Hu is the name of a measure, responsible for entry and exit. It is used to treat injuries by circulating the earth inside the body. To eliminate arthralgia means to eliminate arthralgia symptoms that occur in the skin, veins, flesh, tendons, bones, and five internal organs. To treat injuries in the middle, one must lower the Qi. When the Qi in the middle is in harmony, the evil Qi will naturally go down. When numbness is eliminated, the five internal organs will be replenished, causing fatigue and emaciation. When the evil qi is eliminated, the positive qi will be strong. The spleen is the most yin among yins, so it is called strong yin. The kidneys store essence, so they are said to benefit essence. If taken for a long time, the earth energy will flow and the water essence will spread all over the body, thus strengthening the intestines and stomach. The best-grade herbs in Ben Cao are mostly used to eliminate numbness. They are not mentioned as being caused by wind, cold or dampness, but simply as being caused by the combination of the five internal organs and external factors. The skin covers the lungs. Pulse is the combination of the heart. Meat is the union of the spleen. Tendons are the combination of liver. Bones are the combination of kidneys. Therefore, eliminating numbness can cure the fatigue and emaciation of the five internal organs, and it has the wonderful effect of attacking evil and nourishing the body at the same time. The purpose of treating injuries is to lower the qi, and it is a magical method of attacking evil while replenishing the body.

"Reading of Shennong's Herbal Classic": Bi is a spleen disease. The three Qis of wind, cold and dampness affect the spleen first. Dendrobium can nourish the spleen, so it can eliminate Bi. It is a lung disease caused by rising fire energy, which causes asthma. Dendrobium can clear the lungs and therefore can reduce gas. The five internal organs are all yin, and the spleen is the most yin, being the master of the five internal organs. Dendrobium can nourish the spleen and benefit the five internal organs, so the deficiency and fatigue of the five internal organs will recover, and the muscle wasting will stop. Yin is the main tendon. If essence is sufficient, Yin will become strong. Essence is the essence of Yin Qi. If you eat a lot, essence will be stored.
