Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治虛勞腎損, 白淫滑泄. 鹿角霜ㆍ牡蠣(煆) 各二兩, 龍骨(生) 一兩. 右爲末, 酒麪糊和丸梧子大, 空心, 溫酒, 鹽湯下三五十丸. 不惟治遺精, 且能固精壯陽, 神效. 《醫鑑》

Translation

Treats vacuity taxation with the kidney detrimented, white seminal discharge and slippery emission. Deer antler frost and oyster shell (calcined) 2 nyang each; dragon bone (raw) 1 nyang. Powder them, bind with wine-and-flour paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take thirty to fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. It not only treats seminal emission but can secure the essence and strengthen the yang, with spirit-like effect. — Gogeum Uigam 古今醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Jeong)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Three white minerals — antler frost is the residue of boiling antler for glue, and it is white and chalky — and nothing else. The Uigam's simplest formula for the chapter's condition, and its claim of strengthening the yang rests on the antler. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
