桑白皮
Mulberry white bark, as the name suggests, is the bark of a mulberry tree! People who have seen this medicinal herb will see that the medicinal herb is thicker, and the surface is yellow-white or white, which only the root bark meets these characteristics, so it should be said that it is the dry root bark of the mulberry tree is accurate, also known as "mulberry root bark". 桑白皮的取材需要先挖出桑树的根，然后刮去它那黄棕色的粗皮，纵向剖开，剥皮晒干即可，一般认为，色白、皮部厚、柔韧的桑白皮质量比较好。
桑枝
Mulberry branches are also called "mulberry strips" and are taken from the young branches of the mulberry tree! Mulberry branches are tough, difficult to break, in the treatment of this herb, first remove the leaves, and then use knives to cut it into thick pieces, the mulberry branches on the market is such a form, the presence of bark makes its appearance appear gray-yellow.
桑葚
桑葚就是我们俗称的桑果，即桑树的果穗，作为聚花果，其果体集合的小瘦果清晰可见，成熟的桑葚会慢慢变红，最终成为紫黑色，桑葚既是野果也是药材，一果两用，有的人还用桑葚来制成美酒。
桑螵蛸
桑螵蛸为螳螂的干燥卵鞘，早在《本经》中就有记载，价值很高，它虽然源于螳螂，但栖于草丛及树枝上，类似于寄生的关系，依附在别的植物身上，在《本经》中就有说道：“以桑上者为好”，所以，采这味药材要选择那些挂在桑树上的，这就是它和桑树的关系了，所以 名字中有个“桑”字。
僵蚕
The zombie silkworm originates from the silkworm, which feeds mulberry leaves, and from this logic, its relationship with the mulberry tree is indirect. Silkworms are divided into many grades, those with poor quality will be divided into lower levels, and silkworm farmers will single them out, but this does not mean that they are meaningless. Silkworms aged 4 to 5 are infected with white stiff bacteria and die, and those silkworms become medicinal "zombie silkworms" after drying, which can be said to be waste into "treasure".
