Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治精不禁, 危急者. 龍骨(酒煮焙)ㆍ靈砂(水飛) 各一兩, 縮砂ㆍ訶子(小者煨取肉) 各五錢. 右爲末, 糯米糊和丸菉豆大, 溫水下十五丸, 加至三十丸. 《丹心》

Translation

Treats the essence not held, in a critical case. Dragon bone (wine-boiled and dry-roasted) and sublimed cinnabar (water-ground) 1 nyang each; amomum and chebula (small ones, roasted and the flesh taken) 5 don each. Powder them, bind with glutinous rice paste into pills the size of a mung bean, and take fifteen with warm water, increasing to thirty. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Jeong)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Bijin-hwan from 3.5 — dragon bone, chebula, amomum — with sublimed cinnabar in place of the plain, at a full nyang. 靈砂 is mercury and sulphur heated together and sublimed, and the tradition held it stronger than cinnabar for settling and holding. 危急者, the critical case, is the indication, and Danxi doubles the mercury for it. **Contains sublimed mercuric sulfide, which is toxic. This must not be prepared or taken.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
