Translation

Treats the same as above. White atractylodes, white poria and pinellia, 3 don each; dry-fried medicated leaven, 1 don; barley sprout flour, 5 fun. Cut up, make one packet, add five slices of ginger, and decoct in water. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Guto)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The same intention as the formula above with the wind drug dropped and the three chief drugs tripled: atractylodes, poria and pinellia at 3 don each, with a little leaven and barley sprout for the food. It is the plainer of the pair, for a patient in whom the nausea is the whole of the complaint. **Contains pinellia, which is toxic in the raw state and must be properly processed before use.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
