Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治飮酒中風, 汗多不可單衣, 食則汗出如洗, 久不治必爲消渴. 防風二兩半, 白朮一兩二錢, 牡蠣(煆) 三錢. 右爲末, 每二錢, 溫水調下. 《河間》

Translation

Treats wind-stroke from drinking wine, with sweat so heavy one cannot bear even a single layer of clothing, and on eating the sweat pours out as if washed; if not treated for long it will surely become wasting thirst. Saposhnikovia 2 nyang 5 don; white atractylodes 1 nyang 2 don; oyster shell (calcined) 3 don. Powder them and take 2 don stirred into warm water. — Hagan 河間 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)

Clinical commentary 臨床

5.13's leaking wind — the drinker who sweats at every meal — and the warning that it turns into wasting thirst if left is the most interesting line in the formula: the tradition linked heavy drinking, profuse sweating and later diabetes. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
