Translation

Treats every strangury after childbirth — gao, stone, cold or hot, it treats them all. Imperata root 5 don; dianthus and white poria 2 don 5 pun each; mallow seed and ginseng 1 don 2 pun 5 ri each; cattail pollen, peach resin and talc 7 pun each; licorice 5 pun; purple cowrie 2, calcined; the stones from the heads of 4 yellow croaker, calcined. Cut up and divide into two packets; add 3 slices of ginger and 20 stalks of juncus, decoct in water and take on an empty stomach. Or powder it and take 2 don at a time stirred into akebia decoction. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Ginseng among the drainers, because a woman just delivered cannot be drained alone — and the two calcined shells at the end are the chapter's stone medicines, kept in on the chance that the strangury is a stone one. 無問膏石冷熱 — not asking which kind it is — is the point: after childbirth one treats before one knows. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
