海松子 잣 (해송자)

Original, read line by line 東醫寶鑑 · Tangaek — Decoctions vol. 2

1. 性小溫, 味甘, 無毒.

   It is slightly warm in nature, sweet in taste, and non-toxic — a gentle warming food that suits almost anyone.

2. 主骨節風, 及風痺頭眩.

   It treats wind disorders of the joints, wind-induced numbness, and dizziness — soothing for those whose joints ache and heads spin in cold winds.

3. 潤皮膚, 肥五藏, 補虛羸少氣. 《本草》

   It moistens the skin, nourishes the five viscera, and replenishes those who are wasted and short of breath — a nourishing nut for dry skin and depleted vitality. (Bencao)

4. 處處有之, 生深山中.

   It is found everywhere, growing in deep mountains — gathered from the pine-clad slopes since ancient times.

5. 樹如松柏, 實如瓜子, 剝取子, 去皮食之. 《俗方》

   The tree resembles pine and cypress, and the seeds look like melon seeds; one cracks the cone, takes out the kernels, peels them, and eats them — just as we still enjoy pine nuts today. (Sokbang)
