⑤"Ben Cao Zhengyi": "Raspberry is a medicine that nourishes true yin. It has a slightly sour taste and can absorb the dissipated yin energy to produce semen. Therefore, Emperor Kou Zongshi said that it nourishes the kidneys and reduces defecation. When you take it, you should cover the drowning device. Although the words are echoed, they are still reasonable. "Ben Jing" mainly regulates the five internal organs, and the internal organs are yin. All the seeds are solid and can replenish the middle part of the body. Moreover, they have the power of absorbing acid, so they can replenish the yin of the five internal organs and benefit the essence and qi. All the seeds are heavy, most of them can benefit the kidneys, and this one is specialized in kidney yin, can strengthen the kidney qi, strengthen the will and strength, and have the effect of nourishing the kidney yin. "Bielu" "Invigorates Qi and lightens the body, and prevents hair from becoming white", which is still the meaning of "Ben Jing". However, it is specifically designed to nourish yin, not to help yang. "Ben Jing" and "Bielu" do not mention warmth. They think that it is slightly warm and slightly hot, which are all conjectures of later generations. Just like all kidney-tonifying medicines are warm medicines, I don't know. Kidney yin and kidney yang, each medicine has its own specialty. To nourish true yin, it must not be a warming medicine. "
