 "New Compendium of Materia Medica": Gorgon fruit is an adjuvant, and its function is to nourish the kidney and remove dampness. Most of the kidney-tonifying drugs are moisturizing, and moisturizing ones are less moist. Gorgon fruit nourishes the middle and removes dampness, and its nature is not dry, so it can remove evil water and replenish true water. When used with other yin-tonifying drugs, it can especially help to increase essence, without worrying about increasing moisture. Gorgon fruit not only replenishes essence, but also can astringe essence and nourish the kidney. Use it together with yam, grind each into powder, and take it with rice every day.
 "Compendium of Materia Medica Records" states: "Chrysanthemum officinale is sweet and light, with the true taste of earth, and is a medicine for the spleen and kidneys. The spleen hates dampness and the kidneys hate dryness. Chrysanthemum officinale is light, sweet and fragrant, so it will not hurt dampness. It is sticky and astringent, but also smooth and moist, so it will not hurt dryness. All medicines for the spleen and kidneys are often opposite, but this one complements each other, so it is particularly valuable.
 "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: How does Gorgon fruit nourish the spleen? Because it is sweet; how does Gorgon fruit strengthen the kidney? Because it is astringent. Because its sweet taste nourishes the spleen, it can eliminate dampness and cure diarrhea and abdominal pain; because its astringent taste strengthens the kidney, it can hold the breath and cure incontinence. Its function is similar to that of Chinese yam, but the yin of Chinese yam is greater than that of Gorgon fruit, and the astringency of Gorgon fruit is even worse than that of Chinese yam; and Chinese yam can also nourish the lung yin, while Gorgon fruit can nourish the spleen and kidney but not the lung.
