Translation

Treats heat in the middle burner: fever effusing after noon, urine yellow with sunken weariness, and fever after sweating. White atractylodes 1.3 don; raw rehmannia, lycium root bark, alisma, and anemarrhena, 1 don each; red poria, ginseng, bupleurum, and licorice, 0.8 don each. Cut the above, make one packet, decoct in water and take. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Hwa)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Dongyuan's entry in the middle-burner shelf, keyed to the clock as always — the fever that arrives after noon and the fever that outlives its sweat, both read as damp heat squatting in the center. Atractylodes dries the swamp, alisma and poria drain it, lycium bark and anemarrhena cool what steams off: eviction by dehumidification. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
